March 2014

March? March?  Sounds like a month for spring temperatures.  But we still had cold snowy weather in March.  But that's okay, I like snow. :)  Lots of normal living going on this month.  Dentist appointments, cub scouts, girl scouts, school, and a few extra fun things mixed in.  I had my 38th birthday (although you wouldn't know because somehow we took no pictures).  38 sounds to stinkin' old to me.  But Jeff turned 40 this year so at least I'm not that OLD.  ;)  Aunt Tatia came for a visit too which was super fun.

Daniel staying busy while the siblings get their teeth cleaned at the dentist.

A little late to be discovering that he can eat his toes.  But I guess it is pretty boring
waiting in the car to pick up the big kids from school.

This was so funny.  One day after school this strange kid got in my car (he needs a haircut and has weird facial hair).  He convinced me to give him a ride home. :)

Then all these other kids wanted in on the fun.

We sent all these funny pictures to dad at work.  He needs a good laugh every once in a while.

Evidently he wanted in on the action.  Soon we got a text back with a picture of this strange guy. He said he was on a conference call at the time....he so responsible like that.  Just kidding, he's actually really responsible but know how to be silly when needed.  

Daniel even needed a little "stache"

It wouldn't be a month without some sort of injury needing a butterfly bandage.  This was the result of clean up time.  Christopher threw the long vacuum attachment and it accidentally hit Jacob right in the read.  I didn't take him in for stitches cause over the years I've become more tolerant of that stuff.  It wasn't super deep but it was gaping a little.  ;)  Well, now he does have a little scar there.  I guess I didn't pull it tight enough with the butterfly bandages.  Sorry Jacob

Mass haircuts are always a monthly occurrence here.

Working on the Rainbow Loom

This is how kids would watch TV before we got the big couch in the family room.
Kind of funny.

Still plenty of snow

We watched friends kids.  Hazel is the same age as Daniel but seems so much older.

Jacob must have been really tired.  He fell asleep before finishing his dessert.  That's really tired!! And it's so funny that he could sleep like this.

See...sound asleep.  And like the additional bumps on his head.  Full throttle...that's Jacob.

"Should I go in the snow mom?"

Cub Scouts make volcanoes !!

Anne and her BFF Catherine makes necklaces.

Oh, he was so muddy after this.  Muddy, but happy.

We watched the Kearl kids one night and that made 9 kids in the house.  I have no idea how my mother-in-law did it.  Her house was much bigger than mine. ;)  But they had so much fun.  At one point they were all laughing hysterically like this.  I have no idea what they were laughing about.

Library play time

Jacob Hood

Our bishop, Bishop Weight, and his family moved to Utah.  Why do people do that?  He was so good with all the kids

Junior primary

Senior primary (the girl on his lap is his daughter)

Aunt Tatia came to visit in March.  She has some business in NYC and stayed with us some extra days.  So fun to have visitors

Anne showing off her reading

Jacob was so funny.  He made a mask and ate his snack through it.

We went to Abma's farm and fed the animals.

Here's one little animal getting some donut.

Aunt Tatia learned the way to Daniel's heart

Anne and Tatia had girl time making bracelets

Dinner at Houlihan's

Farewell.  Come visit again.
