March

Caleb was cast as Maurice in the school play “Beauty and the Beast”. He and his classmates all did a fantastic job performing it this month. It was the best high school production that I’ve ever attended.

Adam had a little accident while working on his trailer with the grinder.  The wound required five stitches in his finger.

Next, it was Eliza’s turn to be injured. She was playing Glow in the dark Kick ball and a young man accidentally hit her with his hand and broke her nose. He felt so bad. Poor Eliza wound up with two black eyes and a crooked nose. A couple of weeks after the incident we took her to the Dr. to have it surgically straightened. 

The best part of the Month for the kids and I was our spring break trip to the Bahamas on a Disney Cruise!! 

We had a blast and enjoyed our time together in Nassau and at Castaway Kay.  

While the kids and I enjoyed our time in warming up in the Bahamas, Adam (who didn’t want to get the Covid vaccine which was necessary for him to get to go on the cruise) decided to head up north to play in some snow with his dad and cousin.  We missed having him come with is, but we are happy that he found a fun alternative. 

The trio’s spring concert was wonderful, as usual! 

 

Wow! March was sure an eventful month! 

February

We started the month with more fun trips to play in the snow.

This is just a cute picture of Daisy, wearing a bandana that cousin Hallie made. 

A few months ago, a member of our ward gave Caleb a little airplane engine. Over the the past several weeks, Caleb has been been building a plane with the engine, foam board, wooden dowels, and rubber bands! He got a couple of great flights in, before he crashed it. He’s kinda bummed that after all his hard work, he only got to fly it a couple of times, but he learned a lot and was grateful he had the experience.

Caleb and Eliza both auditioned for, and made it into a regional High school Choir. The practices and performance were held in Payson, so the kids needed to stay overnight. Adam and I chaperoned the trip. Sarah came with us, and we all stayed the night in Payson.  The choir did a great job! 

We always enjoy watching our children develop and share their talents.

We had a couple good snow storms this month. We didn’t get a whole lot of snow here at our home, but gratefully, the mountains got a good amount.

 

January

The trio all had a wonderful time at Winter formal this month. 

Eliza went with her friend Ray. Sarah took her friend Hyrum and Caleb attended with our friend Kaili.

They all had a blast taking the snowmobiles out and doing some tubing. The day was perfect!

 

They looked so beautiful and handsome at the dance. It sounds like they made some fun memories. We’re so grateful for good friends. 

My great Grandfather, Charles Watson was a talented musician. Our family has been blessed to get to have one of his pianos in our home. The piano was built in 1901. It has managed to keep its beautiful sound, but the years have taken their toll on the exterior, especially the “arms” er.. “ends”… not sure what they’re called. This month, I finally built up the courage to try and fix the worst of the damage. I’ve never used wood veneer before, so I was super intimidated by the project, but it turned out to be somewhat of an easy fix!!! It’s definitely not perfect, but I’m so happy with the results and just wish I’d have done this years ago!
