I was able to go to the play "Wicked" for the first time on a girls weekend. I loved it!! It is now my favorite play ever. I have probably seen Wizard of Oz over 100 times in my life...this play tells the story of the wicked witches life, right from conception. Now I know why she is green and am not so afraid of her anymore. In fact you just fall in love with her character. It was so well written, the music was amazing. I hope to see it again someday with Brian.

We had a girls weekend in Oregon a couple of weekends ago. Jill and Audrey and our family had so much fun on a road trip without boys.

The girls and I had fun baking cake and brownies for Uncle Todd. The girls love to decorate with balloons and streamers of course. His family came over and we celebrated 35 years for Todd.

Quinn and Baylee following behind the rest of the girls. Jacki and Todd bought a house on five acres in Boring, Oregon. So if beautiful and relaxing is 'Boring' then we love it!

The girls went to Quinn's church. Ashlyn and Baylee weren't too sure about a different primary, I had to stay with them for a lil' while. After they realized they sang the same primary songs they did, then they were more comfortable...and I could sneak out.

Our end of the year basketball party was at Skateland!!


Here are all the girls on skates. They had a lot of fun together.
Trophies and yummy cupcakes :)
The big brothers joined in on the fun.

Erin was an awesome assistant coach. I made her a frame with a picture of our team.
Jill and Ivy were great team Mom's. I sure appreciate all of their work this seasons with the Stallions.

Grandpa visits us in the Northwest!

My dad was such a trooper this week with an injured knee. We hope he gets it feeling better really soon. We enjoy spending any time we can get, injured or not. Thank you for visiting us Dad, we love you.

Dad's trip started in Oregon with Jacki's family, we met for a nice day in Centralia to visit and pick up Dad for our turn.
Our boys! Aren't they adorable?
The cousins were thrilled to see each other.

Dawson met Grandpa and of course loved him. Lots of kisses.
Baylee reading with Grandpa
It is an absolute must to play card and dice games with Grandpa. The kids love this!!

What would you like for your birthday this year Brian? Didn't hear you say.... PNEUMONIA!


Brian had a pretty bad case of pneumonia this week. He turned 37 on March 3rd. We had him get out of bed long enough to sing to him and visit a little.


What a wonderful surprise, the Bartlett's came over and brought him a birthday setup, with cake and all. Big B and I thank you much.

We've added some more needed hardwood to our house the last couple of weeks.

Our new hardwood in the living room and stairway.

We love the change to our house. The stairs and living room were a light carpet before. We are so happy with the work John has done, beautiful work!
