February 2016

We started off this month with a visit to Grandma Bjarnson and a bingo night at her care center.  We didn't win anything, but it was fun anyway.

Played at Nickelmania and the kids used their tickets for fun digging projects.

We helped Maria & Dallin move to their new home up north!

The older two celebrated Mardi Gras with a school parade.

Saw a star show at Clark.

Played well for the most part.

Had a great time at the Safe Kids Fair.

Built trucks at Lowes.

And mailboxes at Home Depot.

I chaperoned for Lincoln's Aquarium preschool field trip.

And we ventured to the zoo later on in the month.

Class celebrations were had.  I helped out with Makayla's.

Decorated cookies for friends.

And my parents took us out for Scott's birthday at Chinese Gourmet.

Our best part of the month was when we took a quick trip down to Cedar City.

We stopped at the new Nickelmania in Springville.

And then made it to Cedar City just in time to celebrate!

Everyone gathered for Scott's birthday party!

We checked out the progress on the temple being built!

A few games of Monopoly were played.

And the piano too.

Gave loves to Princess.

We crammed lots of cousin playing time in.

And celebrated Valentines day too.

Makayla thoughtfully made each of us a personalized Valentine.
Mom's: "Roses are red, violets are blue, you are the best mom in the whole wide world."
Sterling's: "Here is a twirl, here is a Sterling, here is a swirling. Here is a whirling, twirling, Sterling."
Dad's: "That is a pot, that is a Scott. That is a hot pot Scott, hot."
Lincoln's: "Where is a balloon, where is a cocoon, where is a baboon, do you know?"

Christie's cancer is back and growing in 5 places in her body including her head, right arm, breast, lung, and hip bone.  We are sad and worried for her.  There have been many prayers, fasts, and tears for her and will continue to be.  She is a rock and very calm about this trial.  She knows of her plan and of God's plan.  Her four boys are so young, ranging from 14 to 5 years old.  We love Christie!
