sort of a whirlwind...

These past three weeks have been a whirlwind. I'm so behind! First I want to say how grateful I am for family and modern medicine. Yesterday Jim's dad had 2 stints put in his sweet, tender heart. Thankfully he is doing well...we are so grateful! We were in Provo all day yesterday visiting the cardiac ICU. They really have amazing technology...which helped Papa get better. Thank you, thank you.

Last week we were in St. George for a week and wanted sunshine and warmth but weren't so lucky...the kids both ended up getting HORRIBLE colds and are still trying to quit hacking. How cute are these little photos that my niece took though...

I went with a few of my fancy ladies from book club and got the kids cute shirts at the Beehive Bazaar (photo below) from Elsa Bags (don't see the shirts in her shop yet)...Stella wouldn't take off the wolf tank for 3 days straight. seriously. she went around huffing and puffing because that is what wolfs do of course...

Riding the pony at Thanksgiving Point. One of Stella's proudest moments for sure...she thought she was SOOOO big!

Look at this tiny tear...I love this cute little face...
Have I mentioned that my book club is amazing...yes it is. I love the ladies so much. This past month we read Jane Eyre...and Sarah hosted. It was fab...see it here...

We didn't take a group photo that night, but this photo below is courtesy of miss Jane from last month's excursion to Pizzeria 712 and Water for Elephants movie...how cute are these ladies?


Two weekends ago we loaded up the car and headed to St. George. My adorable niece Whitney graduated from University (SUU) with a biology/zoology major. we are so proud.

We celebrated at my parents house...


The grad:
Mini Lemon Pies, Sweedish Creme Wafers and Chocolate Cake....

They had these bottled drinks (Izze soda and Mexican coke) in cases at Costco. Much cheaper for a party...

Messy boy! Had so much fun with his cousins...and Pearl the dog. He kept trying to say "pearl" it was soooo cute!
So I'm hoping to get back on track with blogging...things have been so crazy around here. I'm doing a MAJOR spring cleaning upstairs and have lots of other projects to share....hope you all have a great weekend.

Maybe go "shake your booty" like Stelly is doing here...it's hilarious...she sticks her tiny booty out and then just moves her arms back and forth like she's running. I die.
