Mustache girls

Layth is getting a yummy handful of hair.

The kids held a soda/cookie sale for their Service Club this month, to raise funds for the Primary service project next month (assembling "feelings kits" for children). They raised almost 300 dollars!

Happy Birthday to me! :)

We drove up to Cache Valley today to spend Pioneer Day with Sam's family.

They had a large blow-up slide set up in Spencer's yard. The kids played on that thing for hours!

Before eating the birthday brownies and ice cream, Grandma (Margaret) gathered everyone to ask questions about me. It was fun, and funny.

Playing games before returning to our home.

This is one of the two shirts I received for my birthday. 😁

Mom's first birthday in the spirit world

 Today we celebrated Mom's birthday by singing all the "Happy Birthday" songs at her gravesite.

Penny and Diana brought heart notes for Dad's new wife, Angela.

Mom followed the "Bean Protocol" (eating lots of beans, meat, and veggies, and avoiding sugars) for quite a few years before her death. So, we filled some empty cans of beans with soil and flowers for her. I joked that her spirit would probably kick them off her headstone when we left, because she insisted she would never eat another bean after she left this mortal life.

We love you, Mudda!

Don't let Andrew catch up! (Bountiful Food Pantry)

 This evening we had fun serving at the Bountiful Food Pantry.

The kids and I went with Andrew (Stacie's husband) and his two kids, Lydian and Tristan.
