It is weird to think that Blondie will be turning 12 later this year!! She was invited to attend New Beginnings with the Young Women and she will turn 12 the day before YW camp this summer!

District Honor Band - Luke
February 19, 2015
Luke was invited to play in the middle school District Honor Band this year. They spent 2 days practicing and then had the performance in the evening. They played some neat songs and I think that Luke enjoyed the guest conductor.
Little cleaner
February 27, 2015
One day Kay got it into her head that she was going to have a cleaning day and help me with some chores around the house. She took it upon herself to move all of the chairs out of the kitchen and clean the floor as well as vacuum around the banister! She was pretty proud of herself for the work that she did!
Plant love
I was given this plant from DH's work when Kitty was born. It bloomed when we first got it but then in the years following it never bloomed again. Well, we moved to our new house and I put the plant next to a window in our kitchen and after a couple of months a flower appeared! I guess it just wasn't getting enough sun where it was placed in our old house and it is loving its new spot in our new house. It currently has 2 flowers in full bloom on it.

Luke on his long board!
Friday, February 13, 2015
I got a shot of Luke trying out his long board that he got for his birthday (although it is a little blurry!):
MJ talk
My parents have a lot of bird feeders at their house that they keep in their backyard. One morning in the spring the birds were being really noisy outside and I said to MJ, "Do you hear the birds?" She paused for a moment to listen to them and then she said, "Yes, should I tell them the food is at Grandma's house?" (It was the funniest thing!)
One night MJ was having a hard time actually going to bed and going to sleep. This is the conversation that we had:
MJ: I can't go to sleep.
Me: Why not?
MJ: Because my arm is too exhausted to pull my blankets up.
One evening we had french toast for dinner and while tucking her into bed MJ said, "I wish I could have french toast everyday... because I love french toast."
Luke is 14!

Luke turned 14 today and was ordained to the office of Teacher in the Aaronic Priesthood. Afterwards we had family over to celebrate with dinner and cake and ice cream.
We have a new driver!!
Friday, January 23, 2015
We have a rule in our family that the girls need to earn their YW Personal Progress medallion before they can get their driver's license. So M&M hasn't been terribly motivated lately to get her license but we have gradually been pushing her more and more and told her that if she earned it before her senior year of high school we would try and get a 3rd car for the family so that she can drive it to school and not have to be driven to and from school every day.
So on January 23 - almost 6 months after she turned 16 - she finally finished everything up and since there was no school that day because it was the end of the semester, I took her to the DMV to get her license.
Here are a couple of pictures of her on Saturday, driving solo for the first time! Unfortunately she has not figured out how to drive a stick shift yet so the van is the only car she can drive right now...
