A Peek Into our Week...
it's been a doozy.
Kyleigh had a great time in St. George with mission friends....
They took a spontaneous jaunt to Vegas just to get Korean food!
Sis. Clove's missionary homecoming!
*****
A lunch outing with these lovely ladies!
Here we are NOW and THEN
{as in then, I mean 25+ years ago}
I sorta die.
*****
Hannah had her End of Year Drill Showcase.
She also had the ACT this week.
😝
Here she is on her way to take the test...
*****
On Tuesday night
we had ourselves a little
Mardi Gras celebration
with Louisiana Kitchen Style chicken
from Popeyes
and a King Cake!
Then we watched a little Princess and The Frog.
*****
On Wednesday the hubs turned 50!!!!
Like how did that happen???
I made him honey-lime chicken enchiladas
for his birthday dinner....a family fav...
then he was tied up with Bishop duties for the evening....
How FUN is THAT?
so we had to wait to really celebrate til the weekend.
However, I couldn't resist taking balloons and black and white cookies
{the good kind from Sweet Tooth}
over to the church.
I don't think he was too happy to see those balloons. hehe
It was an epic week for Brie.
It was the 6th grade Shakespeare Play Performances.
The Shakespeare plays are a big deal at the school and many kids look forward to it for years.
{Brie has been waiting since 1st grade to participate in this}
...Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, McBeth and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
A Midsummer Night's Dream...
She was Queen of the Fairies...
All of my oldest four have had this awesome 6th grade teacher...Ms. A!
6th grade has been a favorite school year for all of them because of her.
They've all had a chance to experience Shakespeare.
In fact Kyleigh was Ms. A's very first Shakespeare...
so the memories are sorta tender for all of us.
We wanted to acknowledge it somehow...
our gift made her emotional...me too!
Even B's friend from the ward, who is 4 yrs her senior and in Junior High,
left school early to come and support her.
So sweet!
Brie's Shakespearean crest that she drew!!!
*****
That night Brie, Kate and I had a little Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss celebration!
Kate built a fort and the three of us had some Dr. Seuss reading time together in it...
Kyleigh went to the U b-ball game with some friends that night..
*****
On Friday the hubs took the day off...we snuck in lunch together
then off to the school for more Shakespeare...
It was time to celebrate the Poppi!
We kind of did a Hawaii Five-O {ya know the police, crime tv drama, with the iconic song?} themed affair to celebrate his 50th!
{Five-O/50th...get it?}
Too bad we couldn't actually celebrate in Hawaii.... 😜 haha, but we tried our darn-dest to go a little Hawaii Five-O'ish....We ate at the Hawaiian restaurant Mo Bettah.
{Poor Poppi in the hands of Hannah's snap chat}
I was teasingly going to make the hubs wear a lei,
but there is no way in **** he would do that. lol He is not into dressing up. period.
quote of the week came blurting from his mouth...
"that is not how I want to get laid lei'd!"
{hilarious}
{btw they offer excellent marinated meat choices...Pulehu, Terriyaki, Katsu}
Then afterwards we went and tried out an Escape Room...
"Crime Scened" of course to go along with our theme.We had to try and solve a murder within an hour....
Man, was it tricky!...it was sure fun to try, but I found it way too complicated for my brain. lol
Several of us didn't know what was going on half the time...Kate included....
She summed it up best, "technically I was useless."
*****
On Saturday we celebrated Kate's birthday!
{My baby turned 7!}
If you think we are going from one birthday to the next......we are!
We have FOUR birthdays in our family in less than a month! 😳
Have you heard of ear candling???
{cleans out your ears the natural way}
She was literally lit up on her birthday 😂 it was hilarious!!
sidenote: notice our emergency mug filled with water..appropriately named...just in case there were unwanted sparks or burning ashes where they shouldn't be.
She wanted to get her ears pierced!!
Hurt a little more than she expected.
😢
After we went and got pedicures...
I hadn't had one IN A YEAR and 10 MONTHS!
{long story}
The hubs and I took her to the Vietnamese Saigon Noodle House that night for her birthday dinner!
the strawberry boba drink was my fav!
On Sunday...
Our post Primary lesson "party in the kitchen" for little Link who turned 8 this week!
Kate chose ribs for her birthday Sunday dinner with the hubs side of the family...
G-ma is a master cook!... cooking relaxes her.
*****
It has the complete opposite effect on me....😉
Not my favorite thing to do, at all, but I do get my game on once in awhile..
We had this Tortellini, sausage, spinach soup this week.
It's a favorite around here.
*****
Now to a bunch of this week's randomness...
Saw this shirt!
{need it}
I don't need to say a whole lot.
You can usually tell from my face what's up..haha
*****
Finished Season 4 of this marvelous Australian Drama!
Just love it, love it!
Three songs I'm crush'in on right now...
An old one..."Never Knew I Needed" by Ne Yo {plays in ending credits of A Princess and a Frog}
"Play that Song"...by Train
This song isn't new either, but "I Feel It Coming" by the Weekend.
*****
My Cougars beat #1 Gonzaga!!!!
Thrilled!
March 3rd was BYU acceptance day.
Kyleigh has been waiting waiting to hear whether she would be readmitted to the Y.
{readmitted is the key word there...what a story behind that..jeesh!}
She got her acceptance letter at 1:00 in the morning!
Oh Happy Day!
Both she and Emma will be living together down in Provo with two of their cousins.
How fun is that going to be?
{Probably too much fun to be honest 😂 }
So excited for them! But not so much for myself. haha
The thought of the two of them leaving brings me to tears.
Phew...I think that's a wrap!
