June Birthdays

Eric's birthday fell when he was at Priesthood Encampment, so we celebrated as a family when he arrived back home.  He had a few friends come over and game with him to celebrate as well.  Eric continues to do well at all he puts his mind to.  He is a responsible young man.  He is working toward getting his driver's license.

Wendy had fun birthday and enjoyed a papering party with her friends the following week.  This year has been a good one for Wendy.  She has an amazing group of friends which support and help her.  She loved her teachers, especially Ms Calabria and Mr Woyhas.  She began taking growth hormones and does not like the shots, but is getting better at allowing them to be given.  It helps that she has already grown 2 inches since April.

 

Spring Break 2023

 Our Spring Break was mostly a staycation, and we enjoyed much needed down time.  We did spend Thursday and Friday night at Sonshine Cabin about 2 hours from our house.  It was a wonderful break.  We sat around the fire, played checkers, hiked, used the swing, slipped in the mud (MiKell) and just had a fun time. 

Sunsets both nights were gorgeous!

Of course the flower pictures

Hike to the Creek

An unusually warm (although not balmy) Sunday in March we took a family trip to the park.  I loved the silhouette pictures taken on top of the hill.  We had some good family time.

 

Cruising the Caribbean: Part VI

The final Days

February 24 - 25th 

We were able to spend some of our last hours swimming.  We enjoyed the waterpark and the hot tubs the most.  The pools themselves were a bit cold.

Kyle, Wendy, Grandma, Grandpa, and I attended a towel folding workshop.  We all made dogs and elephants.  I tried my hand before the class started and made a stingray and a cobra.

The girls posed with all the towel animals that were done in Grandma and Grandpa's room.

The final day at sea ended up being quite a bit longer than planned.  We were supposed to disembark by 9am, but due to a medical emergency the boat had to detour to get the person onto a coast guard boat and we were 4 hours late.  We were blessed to be in a suite and got off the boat at noon and onto a shuttle at 12:30.  We ran to catch our flight, but catch it we did.

Sailing into Galveston, and waiting in the lounge.  Even though we were still on the boat we could not be in our rooms.
