March 2015 according to my iphone

Elder Argyle and his companion are in the same ward as the WWII candy bomber.  Tanner continues to find success as a missionary for our church.  We received word Friday from his mission president that he has been assigned to be a district leader.



We had a great Spring Break Staycation.


 Redecorated Reagan's room


 Found this gal's scriptures on her nightstand one day after she had gone to school - a sure sign that she had been reading them the night before.  I am so grateful for good kids who exercise their agency by wanting to do the right things.
 This boy can't get enough basketball in.  Even when it is freezing rain.


 Enjoyed one of my favorite date nights of the year, 
Lobsterfest with the love of my life.  SOOOO GOOD!
 This girl was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society
 and so were some of her friends

 McKinley was a speaker at the ceremony (she was inducted last year)
 Reagan had a melt down on the day that she found out that Zayn was quitting One Direction, her favorite band.  She sobbed for 20 minutes but it was nothing that ice cream couldn't fix.
 Attended the open house for our new building in Prosper.  
This was my favorite part: the missionary display.  
 Made my traditional Conference Packets for my primary class.
 Had to snap a pic of this future missionary looking at his brother's plaque on the wall.  I'm glad I have nine years until that happens.  Love that kid and really miss his brother but I wouldn't have him anywhere else.
Both girls made cheerleader for next year.  Brady has become a ball handler on his basketball team and scored 4 points at his last game.  He also dribbled the ball behind his back.  Brent has some exciting things going on but I will post more about that later.  School is sucking up all my free time but I am learning so much and am finding it easier to balance than I thought.  Jensen is working hard and saving a lot of money but is counting the days until she leaves for London.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
