February Wrap Up

Here are a few wrap up items from February:

Shantel has been visiting my parents every Thursday and working on different projects for them. A big project she has been working on is cleaning out their storage room. While do this, she found some really fun gems from the past including this below. 

It is my recipe for Pizza from when I was in Kindergarten. For context - I did not like Spaghetti until I was a few years older. It says, "Pizza: Well it looks like spagetti but I don't like it, no way. It tastes good! I think it takes half and hour to cook. It looks good. It's hot. It's like spagetti. I only like on topping on it. I don't know what there called - the red things. Pepperoni."

The storage room looks great and I am grateful for her service to my parents. 

When Shantel and I were first married we had a tiny little TV with a DVD player inside that we used. We held onto it thinking it might be fun to use in the basement someday. We recently got it out and the kids have loved it. They got a few pokemon DVD's at the library and we let them watch those on the little TV. One weekend we had the Haderlies over and we set Molly up to watch Daniel Tiger on the giant TV, meanwhile all the other kids crowded around the tiny little TV. It was so funny and they were so happy. 

For Christmas, I got Shantel a scooter and she got a chance to get it out and use it. 

My Dad has been working on finishing the basement in the house in Daybreak that Michael was living in. We have helped a little bit so he could finish the basement and then get it ready to rent out. Shantel and I (plus all of our kids watching a show on that little TV I mentioned above), plus Amy and Kevin, Wendy, Sam, Aubrey, Jacob and my Dad all went over to move Mike's stuff out of the house to Kevin's house for storage. 

Lydia getting a new pair of glasses. We had got a her a new pair, but they did not quite fit and stay on her face and we went back and she found a really cute pair that fits her much better. 

One evening when Shantel was gone Lydia decided she really wanted to make dinner and we had pancakes and muffins and the kids were so happy. You can see we also had juice and she set it up fancy with candles and everything.
