February 2016 according to my iPhone


February was a great month for the Argyles.  Brent and Brady got tickets to several MAVS games and three of them were in February.  As "season pass holders" (sounds way more impressive than it is) they get to go early and watch the MAVS warm up.  They also get a chance to get autographs. Brady has really loved that. 
Here he is in a pic with Dwight Powell. 
 Elder Argyle is doing great.  he only has about 5 months left and then he comes home.  I got him set up to go to BYUi in the fall and stay and go to school year round ( he wants to since he has not had any college yet).  We got his housing set up too.  It is going to be so good to have him home.  I am trying to figure out vacations this week so we can do something fun once he gets home and before he leaves for Idaho.
 Had a fun outing with my gal pal, Sheri.  Love this girl.





 McKinley got highlights.

 ....and her learner's permit to drive.
 She also was part of the competition team at Prosper High School and they got second place.
 Brady and I made this cute banner for the fireplace for Valentines Day.
 These gals went to a dance and for a fun night out.
 Brady had to have this banner for his room - we redecorated it this month.
 Sent some care packages off to our favorite college gal valentine 
 and our favorite missionary valentine
 McKinley had fun ice skating with pals 



 and the basketball team got together to celebrate a birthday.

We also registered the girls for EFY this summer and started prepping for cheer tryouts which are coming up in March.  We are making plans for Spring Break - hoping to do something fun.  We are also getting passports so that we can go somewhere great this Summer.  March is also when our gal Reagan turns 14!  We are looking forward to another great month.

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.
