February 2021

Here is a recap of some moments from our February: 

Our final wall of cards. It's fun to be able to look at all of them.

We have some beautiful sunsets. Here are some pictures of one.

Sarah thought the sunset made a nice backdrop.

We did some activities on volcanoes and earthquakes.

Matthew getting ready to pour vineager into the volcano he and Megan built.

What an explosion!

Megan and Matthew with their model earths. There was a hard candy in the center, a marshmallow in the middle and a chocolate coating on top. They thought the earth was really tasty.

I got a gift from my Grandma A (thanks to my Aunt Rolayne): some Christmas ornaments.

Megan and Matthew play with the ornaments. Each of the kids got a star and I got the wiseman and camel.

Sarah and her friend Mari having fun.

We had  "We Love to Be a Family Day." Here are some photos from the day.

Watching shorts in the fort we made.

Playing leapfrog.

Megan with the chalk art she and mom created.

U drew the child from the Mandalorian.

3 of the approximately 400 selfies Sarah took on our trip to the park. The 400 is not an exaggeration; it's based on the picture count on the camera. And yes, her boyfriend gave her the shirt she is wearing.

Map of our day created by U: family hug, write some information on the family time capsule, pick up trash in the neighborhood, play Wii together, lunch in a fort, leapfrog, sidewalk chalk, trip to park, mystery dinner, movie

Upside down Megan: she started going backward over the ATV and U helped her go all the way to the ground.

One evening, U took a watercolor class through work. Here are some of his drawings.

Some wonderful quotes from the month:

Megan: What is the Super Bowl?

Matthew: It is the final championship game for football. But it would make more sense if it were for bowling.

Megan: To be a grandma, do you have to be a mom first?

Me: Yes. Your grandkids are your kids' kids so you have to have kids first.

Megan: That just seems like a really long process.

Me was reading a quote from President Nelson while discussing D&C 14:7 during devotional one evening,: "President Nelson said, "Please stop throwing the sock!".....Actually, he probably did say that. He has 10 kids!" (There was a bit of a sock war going on at the time.)

Sarah while driving one day: I'm being stressed out to the utmost stressed-out-imity.
