February 2015

My cute 100 year old dressed up with his class for the 100th day of Kindergarten.  What a sport, to wear an old wig!

I volunteer in Sterling's class on Fridays for about 1.5 hours. I get to see how he interacts with others and is treated. So far so good.


After our Aquarium outing, we visited Aunt Becky.  She has a unique backyard with a river running through it.  And her rabbit was a big hit!

My parents took us to dinner at La Cocina for Scott's birthday and came over for some games.

Scott is officially 35.  Geez, mid 30s already?!  He picked out some laser desk lights for his gifts.

We went to Virg's for fish and chips on Scott's special day.  Then we played at Nickelmania.

Lowe's Saturday building project was a success.

We set out some Valentine's goodies for our kids, including a lovely handcrafted quilt from Grandma Vickie.

The kids had fun at their Valentine's parties.

We decorated a bunch of cookies and shared them with neighbors.  We thought that was neat Scott joined in on the fun!

We made fondue again for our Valentine's dinner.  The swiss cheese one was the best.  The onion cheddar one, not so much.  And peanut butter chocolate, deliciousness!

Scott has really been working hard! He has been making videos all month for his new software that organizes websites.  He is such a trooper, and we appreciate him.  He converted our toy room to a filming studio for the time being.

The boys and I fed the ducks and had a picnic at Wheeler Farm one morning.  What a great place to play!

Lincoln and I visited Farmer Bob, my parents' across the street neighbor.  He gifted us some yummy veggies and pickles!

 We saw a Deep Sea 3D movie at Clark Planetarium.  We love that place!

I'd say Grandma Diane has well enjoyed her grandparent's pass to Thanksgiving Point. She gets all grandkids in free and then adults get half off.  We explored the Dinosaur Museum mid month.

The Kids Safe Fair was cool!

Swimming outing + good kids = fun.

We celebrated lots of birthdays at Grandma and Grandpa's home.

My friend and fellow young women's leader, Liz, went through the Draper Temple for her endowment.  Being there to support her was pretty special.  We were and are her "family" since she has no support.  Oh, how I love to see the temple and visit there!  It is the best way to feel close to God and Heaven.

Living Planet Aquarium

 Lincoln had a preschool field trip on February 5th that lined up perfectly with a day off school for the elementary.  So we took full advantage of the time and invited Grandma Diane to come along.

 Cool rope brige.

 Cute pic of Grandma.

For some reason, I thought toucans were extinct. Glad they're alive!

My personal favorite, the penguins.

Can you see Makayla?

And Sterling?

This is actual garbage found in one pelican's belly, including a lighter full of fluid!  I can't believe all that was from a single bird!

Just couldn't get the light right, but we tried.

We saw the scuba diver feeding the fish out of a squirt bottle, pretty cool!

Love the large aquarium!

Yikes!
Turtles!

 We saw the whole place in 3 hours, which was plenty of time.  Lincoln was with his teachers most of the time, but we are glad he let us join in on the fun!
