Diana's 5th Birthday

 

Our cute Princess Diana turned five today.

Diana was excited for her birthday present from her aunt, Taylor. They went to a salon together to get their nails done.

Opening presents. The reason everyone is laughing is because Sam asked Diana if she wanted to know about the day Diana was born, to which Diana promptly replied, "No."

Sam made this beautiful Easter cake for Diana's birthday.

Grandma and Taylor joined us to celebrate Diana's birthday.

We've been watching the old He-Man TV show over the past few weeks. Diana loves the He-Man character. So, I acquired a little He-Man figure for a smaller cake Sam made.

"By the power of Grayskull, I HAVE THE POWER!"

Diana's final gift was a girls night out at a Disney princess concert in Salt Lake City.

LEGO family history project for Sam

 Douglas, Penny, Diana and I put this LEGO set together for Sam yesterday, in honor of her love of family history.

These are the photos we ordered for the project:

Weber State University Piano Festival

Douglas participated for his second time in the Weber State University Piano Festival, which took place yesterday, 16 March.

He won second place in his division, out of a group of 15 piano students.

McCall and kids come to Utah

 

We had the pleasure of hosting McCall, Krew, Jarren, Charly, and Reed for a few days this week.

I wore myself out playing with the kids. By the time the three days came to an end, I had a rockin' cold and my back was shot. But it was totally worth it! We had a lot of fun.

Reed and I went to a "restaurant" where Penny, Diana, and Charly acted as chefs and waitresses, making all kinds of yummy things for us to eat.

Reed fell asleep next to me while we were working on Jarren's 2025 calendar.

We had a dance party the last night of their visit. Taylor came to play with us.

Reading with Reed and Penny.

I read a bit more with the girls from the Barbie book, and then Jarren took over and the girls laughed and laughed as he altered the stories (i.e. - fancy mac and cheese became unfancy mac and cheese, etc).

Many times throughout their visit, the girls would grab a magic wand and I would pretend they put me under a spell saying, "Yes, my princess, I will do anything you say." Reed caught on quickly, but he usually referred to Douglas as a princess.

Thank you, (Seth and McCall) Coombs family, for coming to play with us!
