Random happenings

 AJ got money from Tyler for Christmas and this is what she bought. Elsa and Anna

 Cutest sister store ever! They gave you money to shop there!

 Dinner at Rupes! YUMMY!

  Utah visit.  Went to the aquarium and watched a 4d movie, had waffle love (oh my yummy!) and Aunt Joy with two of her favorites! Cute picture!

 Elsa and Anna at Porters

 Bowling! So cute to see her carry that huge ball!

 Batman came bowling!

 Parent teacher conference time. We didn't have to go to AJ's because her teachers decided she was doing well enough to not need a conference. Weird but awesome!

 Oh we are in so much trouble with Brylee!  All the boys are in love with her???  Say WHAT? AHH! And this was proven right after this note came home.  She got invited to a birthday party and she was the ONLY girl invited! She went and had a great time. She is doing good in school but needs to focus all that cuteness into her reading and math a little more and not so much on the friend making! lol

 AJ was assigned to decorate a can for her valentines holder at school.  Mom thought, hey let's make a porta potty! And so dad and AJ made a porta potty.  Ba ha ha

 This is one of my favorite "catches" of all times.  I walked into seeing this happening.  I didn't even ask them too!  Luckily they were clean dishes huh?

 We went to Utah and AJ got to spend time with her dad for her birthday He spent some time playing with all the girls first.  It was a good visit.

 Valentine presents from Grandma and Grandpa.  The necklaces say "I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck" which is so fitting because he has sang that to them ever since they were little. And of course they LOVE their owls!

Mom and dad got to go on a date with Brett and Susie on Valentines.  We went to the Cheesecake Factory at city creek mall and than walked around and talked.  It was so nice to catch up with them.  An expensive meal but very yummy!

Rexburg weather

 

 

We have had the weirdest weather this winter.  It has been bitterly cold at times and it has felt like spring at times.  We had frozen frost covering everything for like a week.  It was so pretty outside I had to take pictures! But we have not had snow on the ground since end of January which is not normal for Rexburg.  Weird!  We actually are all missing the snow in our family! All though the few warm days we had were really nice too.

AJ is 11!!!

Angelynn is 11!!!!  Birthdays come so fast! I remember when AJ was born and it sure does not seem like 11 years has gone by already.  AJ is such a great kid.  She is doing well in school, is a great big sister, has a lot of friends and is becoming quite the musician. She is very emotional which makes her incredibly sweet but also very tender hearted. We are so thankful to have her in our family.  We love this beautiful young woman!

This picture was a week before she turned 11 but it is my favorite! So pretty!

 AJ had a big birthday party with a lot of friends. She chose to have an ice cream bar instead of cake.  It went really well and she had a great time.

 

 

 I didn't get a good group picture unfortunately but there was, Amelia, Elora, Avery, Brooke, Sarah, Mikaela, Bethany and Andrea.

Logan Temple

 

Dalin took his endowments out in the Logan temple and we were able to go and support him,  Glenn was his escort.  What a great experience. After we all went to Bluebird cafe including the Bailey side.  They kept the girls so we could go to the temple session.  It was a great family filled day.

Daddy/Daughter dance

AJ and dad went to a daddy daughter dance. They had so much fun.  Mom had fun getting AJ all dolled up.  We went dress shopping, went to the salon to get her hair done and we even had a corsage and hair flower made. (thanks to Katherine and mom).  She looked beautiful!
