• Tuesdays are cursed in our home. The first Tuesday saw Elizabeth severely dislocate a finger playing basketball (looked awful!). She’s had a splint and has been going in for regular appointments and physical therapy. Painful. The second Tuesday found Tayah, while dancing, falling and gashing her face between her eyes. It was like a hole in her face! She ended up having five stitches inside and five stitches on the top…and our first ever trip to the emergency room. So, yes, Tuesdays are banned in our home. We’re just going to have two Wednesdays each week…
• Elizabeth got a year older and we celebrated with several outings as a family including Tucano’s (how we’ll eat in the Celestial Kingdom). She and I were able to go to dinner and to the Young Ambassador’s concert. Such amazing, talented students. And a wonderful wife and mother!
Cutest. Baby. Boy. Ever!• Elizabeth and Sarah threw a baby shower for Tanya at our house. Thanks to those who came!
• Said baby, Sierra, joined our family and we’re excited to meet her (haven’t just yet).
• Jimmer became an adopted member of our family (and of every other Mormon family out there). What an amazing and exhilarating run! We went to one game and are thrilled the kids can say they saw him play. We also watched almost every game, including the fun March Madness run. Given the Brandon Davies situation, we were scrutinized like no other program, but most of the commentary has been very positive. Dad and I heard Dave Rose speak the same week at Cougar Club. Very powerful. So very proud of our Cougars!
• Thank goodness for Jimmer, for the Jazz were hard on the eyes…
• Kadence LOVED going to Peter and the Wolf at Abravanel Hall with Grandma Sarah and Danny and Mary Sue’s three oldest. She adored the music, costumes, and dancing, as well as the lunch out afterward. Tayah and I made it our daddy/daughter date, going to the Church History Museum (with a great kids exhibit) and Temple Square, followed by lunch.
• We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with green eggs and ham, green milk, and an Irish concert at the Orem Library.
• The girls and I attended a BYU gymnastics meet and a BYU women’s basketball game. They much preferred the latter, but at the former, were picked out of the crowd by the cheerleaders and helped give a rousing chicken dance performance during time out!
• I attended the BYU President’s Leadership Council meetings where we were shown some rate treasures from the Lee Library’s Special Collections, hear from the founder of RC Willey, and spent a lunch with President Uchtdorf.
• We also had BYU Alumni Board meetings and our annual student and employee giving campaigns.
• We loved attending Aubrey’s baptism and confirmation. So proud of you Aubrey!
• Church items: Elizabeth went on some ward missionary visits and attended book group; we continue to enjoy ward choir; Tayah said a prayer in primary; I attended a Little Philmont training; attended training with the Young Men general presidency; pine wood derby; conducted sacrament meetings; attended some fun youth activities; continue to enjoy playing (somewhat regularly) basketball with the ward.
• We were glad to have a family join us for FHE one Monday.
• The girls are still learning a lot at pre-school, as well as frequent library outings. Tayah has been pretty red-headed this month, but we love her! She is learning to control her tantrums and it’s getting better.
• Stockton is adding words to his vocabulary: some semblance of baby (“bee-bee”), yes (“yah”), no (he’s got this one down pat “no no no!”), did it (like I did it!), amen (“men”), papapapa (Grandpa), and “ball!” Tried to teach him Jimmer, but that’s a work in progress.
