I was working in the kitchen this evening at dusk and saw a bird in the tree looking back at me. You can also see the muted image of two daffodils that were the first ones to bloom and my Ella picked them for me.

Lemonade Anyone?
It was only a half day at school and a beautiful day. So Katelin and two other friends got together and had a lemonade/snow cone stand. They each earned five dollars. That's pretty good.
Green Milk! Eew!
The kids woke up on St Patrick's Day and a leprechaun had turned the milk green. So we had green milk and porridge for breakfast.
Paint Party
After the flood, we ended up pulling out all the carpet pad and letting the carpet dry. While the rooms were empty we decided to paint the rooms. So Jacob and Katelin helped us.
Ella and the Boy Next Door
Guess who found the bandaids today? It's just like stickers. Later I found them on the couch, the walls, her bedframe...
Our Basement Flooded
We had a couple of warm days that melted almost a foot of snow off our roof. It then went down a few seems in our cement into the already saturated soil and came up in the cracks of our basement. It came in on the East side of our house. Katelin's room, Jacob's room, the sewing/food room and the hall.

Jake's First Loose Tooth
This week we noticed that Jacob's incoming tooth was barely poking up directly behind his loose tooth. Yesterday I saw it again and it had come through and up quite a bit. Well, daddy found out and said he would pull it out for him. That freaked out Jacob. I am a little worried about his tooth coming in crooked so I told Jacob I would give him five bucks if he let daddy pull his tooth right now. That immediately got Jakes attention and for the next half hour daddy worked on it. First with a washcloth and pulling. Didn't work. So he had Jacob go get one of the handheld flossers to floss your teeth with. So John eventually got the flosser underneath the tooth and yanked. He pulled so hard it flipped the tooth out and it landed up on his top teeth and stuck there. So John grabbed it and showed it to Jacob. Jake was stunned or transfixed for about 15 seconds and didn't even move. John had to tell him about 4 times to swallow his blood so it wouldn't drip out of his mouth. I got a picture of the stunned look of him just laying there. He is one happy boy now that the shock has worn off AND he got his five bucks. I can't believe I gave him five dollars, but hey, it worked, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. 
THE REST OF THE STORY:
So he put his tooth in a plastic bag and put it under his pillow and went right to bed. He came to me this morning and was shaking the bag that had four quarters in it. He was so happy. He told me that he didn't sleep last night. He just closed his eyes and waited for the tooth fairy. He thought maybe the tooth fairy might be a boy or it might be a girl. I asked him what he thought it was. He said he thought it was a girl. And he goes, "But she must be really small because I didn't feel her climbing under my pillow to give me the money and I didn’t get any sleep last night."
Uncle Michael Boggs Passed Away
Later in the afternoon of my birthday I found out that my Uncle Mike had passed away so it made for a tearful evening. I was able to fly to San Diego, California for the funeral and visit with family.

Beautiful Montana
John worked in Montana for a week and took a ton of pictures of the different scenery. Here are just a few!
Birthday Flowers
For my birthday this year John took the day off and we went to lunch at a Brazilian restaurant and then went to the Bountiful Temple during the day. My friend watched Ella for me while the kids were at a school. When we got home there was a homemade cake at my friends house, a gift and a huge bouquet of flowers that my parents had sent to me sitting on my neighbors kitchen table.
Let them eat cake!
I get to have a party with Ella almost everyday lately and this time she did it first thing in the morning after the kids left for school. John was getting ready to leave for Idaho for three days just when she made the announcement that she had a party ready and I was invited. I told her, "I think you should ask daddy becuase he never gets to have a party with you and he is going to leave in a minute." He heard the end of my sentence and put down his luggage to attend the grand even. She was so touched that HER DAD would come to her party. Look at her face!
Want a Cracker?
Ella asked if she could have a cracker today. I said, "Sure they are in the pantry." Not knowing that the package wasn't yet open. I walked past a couple of minutes later and Ella had opened the crackers alright. Ella Style!
Christmas Eve
We had a wonderful dinner at Grandma's house and were all rolling on the floor. Then we opened gifts and the kids got thier traditional Christmas Eve Pajamas so they had new pj's to wear to bed.

Isn't she sweet!
This is Ella in her Christmas Dress. Actually, it used to be Katelin's and it finally fits Ella. She is totally posing for the camera. When she went to church people would tell her she was so beautiful. She would bat her eyelashes and sweetly say, "Uh-Huh!"
Choir Performance
We all got to go watch Katelin perform with her Elementary School Choir for their Christmas Concert. Katelin had a solo with a couple of other girls and they did an excellent job. She did GREAT!
