Grammie, Jichan, and Sendai

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANT! We got to celebrate Grant this week. His birthday was on Friday, March 8th. It has been fun to look through past photos of him this week and see how he has grown into a kind and handsome young man.

LOVE YOU SO MUCH GRANT

You make my heart happy and I hope you had a wonderful day💖

This week has been relatively mild in our household. Sendi is molting 😊 (blowing her coat) so she is needing a trip to the beauty shop. I am NOT molting but I needed a trip to the beauty shop to cover up some of the gray (thanks Josh, Adam, Kate, and Kevin 😳).

Monday and Tuesday, I spent a lot of time reading and working on school assignments. Wednesday, we had a new young married couple show up at our Addiction Recovery Meeting. Our attendance has been pretty slim since the holidays so we are always grateful to see new faces. It is such a wonderful and inspired program, we have often said that everyone in the Church should take this class. It is just another tool to help bring Heavenly Father's Spirit into our homes - And, if we were truly honest, who doesn't have an addiction of some kind? Mine would probably be chocolate (pretty much under control), and Dad's would be Amazon (getting better 😀).

Saturday, the missionaries asked if we would go with them to visit Helma and her daughter, Donna, who is here taking care of her. Donna is a real go-getter and has packed Helma up in her old car and driven back to Tennesse where her daughter lives, to Disney World, to Mississippi where her son goes to school, to St. Louis where Helma's other daughter lives, and then back to colorado springs. Whew!! I told the missionaries I hoped they planned to be there for at least an hour because Donna is just as good at talking as her Mom. She told the missionaries she would like to know more about the Church so they were able to schedule some discussions with her. It took almost two hours, but the missionaries were happy when we left.

To celebrate not being there for three hours, Dad and I went to Costco to pick up a couple of things, and on the way out we got a Costco hotdog. Who doesn't love a Costco hotdog??? I haven't had one in years, and I admit it tasted really good, but there was way too much. Best cheap date around - $3.25 for 2 hotdogs and 2 sodas 😁

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON 😂

I love this video of Sayre so much! And he's got the best moves ~

SUNDAY SELFIES ~ I LOVE ALL OF THESE SMILES 😄

THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING ~

HollyAnne's daughter, Abby got married yesterday in the Payson Temple. Zack, always thinking of others, called Max and encouraged him to come to the reception. Mike and Barbi came over for the wedding. They are always so good to try and attend as many family events as they can. Max sent these photos -

Owen, Sidney, Max, Jaime, Lindsey, Abby, Luke, Hunter and his wife Dixie, and Amy

Mike sent this one of Zack and Owen. Owen received the Melchizedek Priesthood today.

Max was inundated with 2nd cousins yesterday. I wish we lived closer to everyone so we could get better acquainted. But just in case you were wondering - Owen, Sidney, and Jaime belong to Heather and Zack. Lindsey and Abby belong to Hollyanne and Eric (Chad is on a mission). Luke and Hunter belong to Brook, and Amy belongs to Jenny. Heather and Dave didn't arrive until after this photo was taken, so sadly their kids aren't included in the picture. Owen, Max, Sidney, and Amy are all down at BYU. Jaime is still in high school, Luke is working in SLC, and Lindsey is married.
