Happy Pi Day Everybody! It's March 14th or 3.14 which is a fun thing to think about today. Whether you are a mathematician or not, it's still fun to stop and enjoy a slice of Pie!
Earlier this week, we had a very tender moment with Brooklyn. She has had a pet hermet crab for a couple of years named Shelby. She has taken such very good care of Shelby and has loved her. She texted me this week and said Shelby must have outgrown her shell as she had crawled our of it.
I told Brooklyn that I had three shells that Shelby was welcome to choose from if she needed a bigger home. Brooklyn told me that Hermet Crabs are very selective on choosing new homes. She said her dad was going to stop by Pets Smart to see if he could get Shelby a new shell. The next thing I heard from Brooklyn, she told me that Shelby had gone to hermet crab heaven. That she didn't need a new shell afterall but just needed to go to heaven. Brooklyn was very sad as you can imagine. My heart hurt for our Brooklyn. It's hard to have to say good bye to pets that we grow to love so very much.
Our Medford Granges
Charlie Boy is one happy boy whenever he has a ball in his hands. The weather has been so nice in Medford this weekend and Charlie was thrilled to get to play outside
Gracie hoped onto Charlie's scooter and made us all smile. She took her first 3 steps this week! From three steps to scootering. WOW!!!!
Oscar is loving the great spring time weather too. Love that Smile!
Oscar was invited to his friend Peyton's birthday party this week. What a great time he had. Oscar is so happy to be back to school for a few days a week. He is looking forward to his 6th birthday on the 22nd. One week and one day away!!!!
While Gracie is trying out the scooter, Simon is trying out jump ropping. What a fun guy. He is amazing!
Our Folsom Thiots
Charlie sent some photos to my phone and I don't know the story behind the photos so I get to make up the story. I'm really only guessing this is Charlie. He seems to have grown a cougar chin and looks great! What a beautiful blue sky.
What a beautiful day of Spring Skiing!
Love this picture of Keeling on the Ski lift!
Hi Callum Jay, (I think)
I can't wait to hear the whole story or their magical day on the ski slopes!
Our Orem Thiots
Dick and Pierce have been planning a ski trip ever since Pierce and Stacy moved to Orem. This was the magical weekend. I dropped Dick off the airport and he met a missionary retunring from the Spokane Washington mission. Dick loved getting acquainted with him. His flight was delayed due to mechanical difficutlities. We were glad they took care of it before departure. Pierce was patient in picking him up late that night. Thanks Pierce!
The 2nd Edition of the new Deseret Magazine came out this week and Pierce was so excited that Stacy's company got a beautiful full page ad for her bracellets. Way to go Poppy Lane & Co!
Such a darling little girl in the picture. I love her pretty smile and darling braceletts.
Pierce made Dick an amazing breakfast his first morning.. WOWSERS, I was afraid he would never come home.
Dick was so proud that he had made his bed that he sent me a picture. I'm proud of you too. He is a really good bed maker!
They headed up the slopes and found new snow on the slopes. It was a beautiful ride up the canyon.
They had a great time and unfortunately, I don't know how to put the video Pierce took of Dick sking down the mountain. He was magnificent!
Friday morning he woke up early and headed to the beautiful Mt. Timp Temple for the sealing of our dear friend Kumar to his sweet heart Marissa. It worked out so great that Dick had already had plans to be in Utah when Kumar called to tell him that the temple had approved March 12th for their sealing. Happy Day! Dick sesnt this photo on his way and said he guessed hew as on the right road. YES!
I loved this picture as they came out of the temple, sealed for Time and ALL Eternity. Such a happy couple
I loved this group picture and that tiny flower girl was adoreable. I loved this photo of Dick with Kumar and Malissa. Kumar sometimes says, we are his church parents. We love him and are so happy for him.
Dick took a magic bag of crafts with him. I loved seeing him crafting with perler beads. A favorite for many of our grandchildren. They were both really great at it.
Jackson is so proud of his Easter Egg! Way to go Jackson!
Love that look of Concentration while putting each tiny bead, one at a time.
Adelaide was great at it too and enjoyed it a lot!
Adelaide lost a tooth while Graypa was there. She is so diligent at brushing. She had a trip to the orthodontist to make some plans for future visits. Go Adelaide.
On Saturday, all the Orem Thiot's went to the slopes for a day of skiing. Dick was so impressed with everybody's skiing skills. They loved being there together I loved that
When Dick left Sunday morning, Adelaide and Jackson wanted to ride with him to the airport. What fun they had this long weekend together. Thank you for your hospitality and love!
Our Upstairs Thiots
We got our Easter decorations set up at our house with Elinor's help on Monday and Tuesday. She got to have a sleep over on Monday night which we all LOVED.
It was her mama's birthday on Wednesday and she wanted to make cookies for her for her birthday. We loved diong that. Plenty of sprinkles:)
She and Skyler went bowling for the first time on Tuesday and had a great time. She is a great bowler!
She got some valentines that took a month to come from her friends in Princeton, Texas. That was crazy but was worth waiting for. Elie loved adding some stickers to them.
Our Easter Grass is growing. Not as thickly as it was planted but it's been fun to watch. I think she will be happy to see it tomorrow.
We Plano Thiots
Our Sweet Kyla Radke entered her home MTC on Wednesday and invited Dick and I to attend the temple with her on Tuesday afternoon for her endowment. Oh how I LOVED being in the temple again. I've missed it soo. Can you see Moroni?
This is Kyla and her mama Lisa who looks like her sister instead of mama. Great people!
Tatia and I worked on changing our letter boards this week together. She is great at it. It was fun to do together.
Sunday morning I had BYU TV on and lo and behold my cousin Julie was speaking at the BYU Idaho Devotional Her mama is my Aunt Ruthie who is my Grandma's sister. It was so sweet to listen to her wise council as she spoke about how we can try out best each day to be better. I loved it!
This quote from Elder Packer spoke to my heart.
This is how Miss Elie and I packaged up her beautiful purple sprinkled cookies. They made several people very happy. It's almost time to go pick up Dick at the airport. I better sign off and jump into my clothes and head that way. Sure love ya'll, Robynn
