Oh, what do you do in the Winter time?

We play with cousins in the wintertime. 
We look at the cool creations people make with snow.
We wrestle and tickle each other and try to give raspberries to their back or belly. 
We climb as high as we can on the playground equipment and request a picture be taken and others to watch. 
We help comfort each other and feel better after falling down. And try to smile for a distracting selfie, but are more successful at looking like we are feeling each other’s pain or joy. 
We play games with our cousins and have fun at our grandparents. 
We paint presents for our friends
We buy Valentine’s for our “boyfriend”  at the dollar store, with the encouragement of our older siblings
We draw pictures on Mom’s phone during the first in person church we have all made it too this year. 
We give said boyfriend his Valentine and get a hug and a package of M&M’s from him. And we are very grateful he is such a good sport and good kid. 
We take pictures of Canadian geese that are really close.
We watch our cute little cousins so funny things.
We play outside on beautiful sunny days that help remind us we love outside and spending time together. 

We also tried to have a semi fancy fun fondue dinner with mixed reviews. 

We got to borrow boots from a generous aunt for the play we are in that is about to open. We also made it to Savers and Target on the same night and found just what we needed to finish our costumes for that play. 

We got to enjoy an extra long extra practice for volleyball.

And we got to enjoy a whole bunch of beautiful new snow that came on mostly Wednesday but other days of the week too.

I love the way you framed this with a song we all know and love.

I'm going to let my phone suggest what I say next. I was just like the minion of my life that was the only one I had to say goodbye to. So, fun, right?

The seasons come and go but the people are the important parts.

We're having phone indulgences today. There's a word it REALLY wants to suggest: Denmark. I'll let it go ahead like some bemused parent of a precocious toddler.

Denmark.
Denmark.
DENMARK!!!
Good thing I have ancestors from Denmark or that would make little sense.

You do such good things in the wintertime! I liked all of them. And isn't it great when Savers has just what you need?!

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
