February

We love starting February off by celebrating Muna's birthday!

One of Adam's best friends, Andrew Blake, got baptized a few days later.  His other bestie is Lehi-the moms call them the 3 amigos:)

Jared came to help his Dad down in Arkansas, but before they left we got to spend a day together.  3 brothers reunited!

One of our Jared activities was rummaging through memorabilia in the attic.  Adam found Dad's punching arm.  In fact Aaron had a whole suitcase full of gags up there including some rubber things that had melted during the summers into a gooey mess.

Aaron's beloved pound puppy.

Quite often Jane can't help the creativity that overflows from her brain, like this day when she had to make our snack of grapes into little sailors in boats.  Porter made his Sunday school teacher's roll recipe.  He almost ate all the dough, silly boy!

I joined Leo for the 100th day of School "Under Construction".

And cupid delivered a jumbo size vase of flower balloons, oo, la, la!

With the new changes made in January for ordaining young men to the office they will be at the end of the year, both Porter and Andrew fell into that category.  Porter is a Priest and Andrew the youngest Teacher.  And apparently we can't stand for a picture-everyone wants to be the tallest so they all jumped:-/  So proud of our boys who are getting way too grown-up!

And we ended February with a miracle.  Andrew accidentally swallowed a water bottle cap and spent the next 12 hours at 2 different hospitals (ambulance ride in the middle) searching for a pediatric doctor willing to reach down his throat and retrieve it.  Could have been a lot worse, and we thank heaven it wasn't!
