Some favorite things

Nick needed a shirt for Gym.  I suggested this periodic table shirt.  He said NO that is dumb.  I thought a Periodic Table shirt would ALWAYS be appropriate and it is mostly white which is that the requirement says..

Jim went on a trip and this is how she left her bed.  That is her mermaid tail.

This is Melanie (my sister) and myself.  I'm on the right in the leather coat.  We are at Hogle Zoo with Blake and Mccall our Niece and nephews.  Wow, that had to be the 80s.

This is my Grandpa Fon.  He lived to be 100 and has been dead about 17 years.  I miss him.  He was so kind.  He married my Gma when he was 50...and when you think of him being 50 and never been married you would expect him to be a bit ornery.  NOPE.  He thought we were the greatest!  Which is a total compliment.  He LOVED us to visit and help him with the chores.  really.  And you know he had to be thinking....'oh let's get his over with that these dang kids want to go with me to feed the cows....'  He acted like we were the best and we were such good helpers! 

Oh this is Blake my nephew .  They were both wearing their overalls.  

This is my Gma Stella and Gpa Fon.  And their  house in Delta.  Such good memories.  They are holding Blake my nephew.  They have been dead since most of my kids were born.  I miss them both so much.  They were so kind and thought we were the greatest thing ever!

And this is Sushi from Lee's. It is our new favorite thing.  Well, a close second to peanut butter balls.  But we have tried Trader Joe's, Costco and Smiths Sushi too.  We like Lees, Costco, Smiths and then Trader Joes.  So yum,

And if we are lucky, at Lee's they have these little things of Wasabi.  It makes it so good and hot that your eyes water!  Love it.

This is my favorite shirt now...It says "Just Say Moe".  This is a horrible pic of me, but I have been wearing it now for a while.  My friends Lynne and Janet gave it to me about 30 years ago and I still have it and just found it again.  My nick name was Mo.  So fitting.

My Favorite Ninjas

Here is a picture my dad made of my kids for a book he made.  They are for sure my favorite NINJAS!!!  They were so cute.

Jacks Valentines dance

The 6th graders have a Valentine's day dance.  They have to dress up in best dress which means wear your church clothes.  Jack was kindof excited for this day. He took his valentines to school and didn't have to make a valentine's box.  yahoo. 

Here is a link to the video for the dance.  Not sure if it even works but I wanted to save on my computer and I couldn't figure it out.  They all looked so cute.  Jack is wearing khaki pants and a blue shirt and a tie.  He is in it a few times.!

Here is Jack walking in to orchestra with his dance clothes on.  He wouldn't pose for  a pic.

However, here is his Orchestra class all dressed up.  This is the best pic I got of him dressed up

Valentine's day 2018

You know I really like Valentines day.  It is kindof Low key.  You can buy flowers, candy or whatever and show your love for people.  You go and buy some valentines at Smith's for School and attach some starburst and give them to the class and it is like 7.00 and SO fun.  Here is our Valentine's day.

I got everyone some socks.  The boys got Stance socks and Abi and Brooke got Under Armour socks they like to wear to the gym. I had already mailed Andrew's valentine to school.  He said he didn't get it yet because I didn't put an apartment Number on it.  Well, that was not my fault...he gave me his address..

These are the flowers chili wili sent to my school.  They were really pretty

                      These flowers were Abi's on the left from Josh, and  the glitter ones were from a week before from Brooke's friend Ty...

These roses were the current flowers from Ty for Valentines day.

Jim Bob's New Car

Back in December Brooke (Jim) totaled her car.  It was the day after Christmas and she rear ended this junker van.  Well, the damage was more than the car was worth.  Dang....so she has been looking for a car ever since.  It has been a learning curve to find a car, look at it, and decide you want it before someone else buys it.  I mean the pictures online make all of them look great!  But when you drive them, they are sometimes not great.  Like the Mazda3 we test drove and it stopped in the intersection about a block from the dealer.  I about died.  Luckily it started up, but NO way was she buying that car!!

So, After 6 weeks of juggling cars, she finally settled on this one.

A Kia Forte.  Her other car was  Kia.  So she is partial to them.  I really like it. Of all the cars, I think it is a great car.  (not like I have any idea about cars..I just own 3 of them now)  The guy quoted her 13.99 % interest then when we went to pick it up, it was down to 4.99%  That is HUGE.

So, here's to her first car she owns!!  Nothing is better than driving off the lot with your car!

These are the best pics I got.  You would think she wanted a picture since she is all about the attention.

Nick and his Free Throws

So Nick has been fouled a bunch of times and in this game, he had a bunch of free throws.  He actually made a few of them.

Rugby for Nick

Nick has decided to play Rugby.  Yes, Rugby.  His football coach is way into rugby so recruited the football kids.  So far he has just had a few practices and is really liking it.  Here is Nick, as he made the Instagram post of the South David Rugby club!

Nick is the one in the front with the red sweatshirt and yellow stripe on his shorts...Yes thats  snow.  That is a great pic of him.  I couldn't make it smaller because it was from instagram.!  Can't wait for the season to start!

Nick is #1 due to his position on the field maybe...

Here are more pics of Rugby.  He played in a Jamboree on Saturday, some kindof scrimage...they played 3 games.  He was soo tired.
