What's On My Happy List?

A Peek At Our Week....

RS Birthday Party at the church...

the YW are always invited too,

 so 4 of my girlies were able to join me! 

It happened to be National Pie Day as well...

so that night Kyleigh treated us with a pie from Marie Calendars 

then headed to Provo with more pie to celebrate with girlfriends..

It was costume check and dance observation week for Brie and Kate. 

I got to attend Brie's tap class on Tuesday...

and tap class with Kate on Wednesday...

....and ballet with Brie on Thursday..

*****

On Thursday night
Emma, Hannah and Brie went to the Jr. High School Play.....

*****

Kyleigh and Emma also had their BYU class....

remember that exam they were studying for? 

They got their test results back...

Kyleigh pulled an A and 

Emmsie got an A +. 

As in a perfect score!

Like how does that happen on a college test?

😳

and it was mostly short answer/essay...the icky kind of test. 

I saw what they had to know for this test. 

It blew my mind. 

I'm telling ya that girl knows history. 

They both do!

That night I introduced the Poppi to the Vietnamese Sandwich Kitchen OH MAI.

He had never been. 

He was impressed.

*****

The Leprechaun came Friday morning...

he left a trail of mischief....

to some leprechaun loot!

I put a few green items each in the girl's school lunches...

I met Kyleigh for lunch at the hospital that day...  
In the spirit of things she had more corn beef and cabbage. 
She loooovves St. Patrick's Day more than anyone around here. 
We got to watch some Riverdance together later that day. 
😊

We did our St. Patti's corn beef and cabbage dinner the Sunday before the holiday
with Jaren's side of the family...

I love this meal!
It's one of my favorite's!

This kiddo wore green most of the week! 

 But nothing beat our elderly neighbor, George's, St. Patty's day garb! 

He sat outside and waved to those passing by.

It was a sight to behold. 

{gave me a chuckle} 

Great Aunt Jill came to visit g-ma C. this week and she brought her granddaughter with her.
She stayed for three nights.
Kate and her played for hours together.

Friday night they cooked to their heart's content
playing "CHOPPED"
This was Kate's dessert!

They did three rounds..

Kyleigh was the judge. 

She was impressed with their cooking skills and creativity. 

 Then she was off...back down to Provo to celebrate a missionary companion's birthday.

The hubs and I tried out the Habit Burger Grill for the first time.
HOLY COW!
I think I've found a new favorite bun-less burger...wrapped in lettuce ;)
and their garlic herb fries...hello!
I'm going back!

We ate out on their patio and the weather was so springlike and pleasant.

Emmsie gave us a bagpipe concert that night.

Super awesome!

Hannah was on her Mag day-date that night at Nicklemania. 

 *****
Saturday morning Kate, the hubs and I attended the baptism of two of my little friends...

 I have the privilege of teaching these cute kids every Sunday.

 Went to lunch that afternoon with my sister's and parents to celebrate my mom's 85th birthday!

Hannah had her MAG date Sat. night.
Mag is a girl's choice and one of the more
casual and cheaper dances of the year. 🙌
The theme was "The Jungle"

She went as a cheetah...did her own face paint. She found her shirt at the D.I.

 her date!

The hubs, Kate and I went to the park to take pics of the group! 

{Aren't the animals supposed to be in the trees?}
😏

 

They found this backdrop at the park! 

how cute is that?

 Guess where the hubs wanted to go back to on Saturday night for take out? 

I'm telling you ...that OH MAI is the bomb diggity.... It's healthy too! 😋  

{Can't get enough of it.} 

*****

Sunday night the extended family met at my parents for cake and ice cream to celebrate my mom's birthday! 

Look at this picture!
Here is my mom, Arlene, {about 6 yrs old} with her twin brother, Arthur, and five other siblings...This is just 7 of the 11 children that my grandma had.
You go grandma!
