Happy 24th Birthday Kenedy
- I love that Kenedy got her Bachelors degree and her teaching certificate and teaches first grade. Education was always very important to my Dad and I know he is so proud of her and what she has accomplished. I love that while Kenedy does not enjoy teaching first grade that she is hanging in there and has plans to go back to school to get a degree in social work. She has been a great example for her siblings on working hard and education.
- I love when Kenedy calls me on the phone to chat and that she likes to keep me involved in her life. She is fun to talk to and I also love hanging out with her. She makes the time and the effort to be with family and strengthen relationships and I love that she makes family a priority. Living in Utah has given her the opportunity to really be with my siblings who live there and their families and I am so glad she is an active participant in their lives. But she also has put forth the effort and time to establish relationships with her grandparents and my family in California as well as Kefford's family. She knows the importance of family bonds and has worked hard for those bonds.
- Kenedy is beautiful and I love how she does her hair and makeup and I love her sense of style. She always dresses so cute and is so fashionable in a modest way. I admire how she does her makeup because she can make it look so natural and not like she has much on at all. Even when she doesn't do her makeup she still looks beautiful and I love when people say she looks like me because I think she is so pretty and it is flattering.
- Kenedy has a strong testimony of the Gospel and I love watching her mature in her testimony. She gets to work with the Young Women in her ward and she loves being with them and is such a good example to them. I have always admired how she feels the Spirit and I love that she has strengthened that bond by listening when she feels it.
- I love that Kenedy loves to read and that we enjoy the same books. It is fun to talk to her about books we are reading and to have conversations about fictional people. I also love that she loves to watch reality TV like me and we also like a lot of the same programs which makes it fun to talk about. We usually have the same opinion about things and I love that.

Galentine's Party
For Valentines Day I made Oreo Truffles for my family at home as per tradition. I made homemade cards and wrote them each a note about why I love them. I also made them strawberry smoothies and heart pancakes for Breakfast. I sent Kenedy and Ty and Rylee Valentine packages that was filled with Valentine treats for them to know I love them. Avynlea had plans that night with Bodi and that left Kefford, Rylee and I. Alison called me the day before asking if she and Bob could take us out for dinner that night which we were happy to accept. They picked us up and after some debate we went to Dickies BBQ in Star. It was delicious food and really fun company, I like that Bob and Alison work at the Temple because that means they are in MEridian more and we get to see them more. It was a fun but low key Valentines Day which was just fine.
On Saturday Rylee and her friend Avery hosted a Galentines Party at our house. They told all the girls to wear a dress, bring a dessert and they were all going to make heart shaped pizzas with us supplying all of the ingredients needed for that. Rylee spent a lot of the day cleaning the house and she did a really good job. I had to laugh when I started getting the stuff out to make the pizza dough and Rylee told me not to make a mess, yes ma'am. I was very impressed with the decorations and how everything looked but what really impressed me was the dessert table, these girls did not hold back in bringing some yummy looking desserts.

Happy 19th Birthday Avynlea!
Avynlea chose Mo' Bettahs for her birthday dinner. I was very ok with that choice because it is Hawaiian food and I really love their food. I loved being out with my girls and Kefford, I kept thinking about what the next year was going to look like with Avynlea being in Japan for her 20th birthday and it made me sad. I had to stop myself from thinking about it and just focus on being in the moment and appreciating the time we do have together.
- I love where Avynlea is at on her spiritual journey. I love that she made the decision to go on a mission and I know she will learn so much and grow so much from the experience. I also love that Avynlea made the decision to go through the Temple and that she works in the Temple every Saturday until she leaves on her mission. Avynlea puts herself in these situations that will help her grow her testimony and I love her for that and for her example.
- I love Avynlea's Heart. She is a genuine person and really takes care of and looks out for the ones she loves. She is loyal and forgiving and such a good person. She is kind and understanding and isn't afraid to be vulnerable, she is just a good person.
- Avynlea is fun and always ready for a good time, most often Avynlea is the one to bring the fun. She is the life of the party, I love her humor and I love having fun with her. To know her is to have fun with her and to love her.
- I love Avynlea's natural beauty. She does not wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis and I love the confidence she has in letting her natural beauty show. She has beautiful hazel eyes and her dimples are so adorable. When she does dress up a little more and put more makeup on she does it in a natural way that just highlights her beauty even more.
- I love that Avynlea loves her family. She loves being with her siblings and talks on the phone with them all of the time. I love that she loves doing things with me and talks to me about life. She is one of my best friends and I love her so much.

BSU Basketball Game and a Temple Date with Avynlea
On Saturday January 27th Kefford, Avynlea, Rylee and I went to the Boise Sate basketball game against Utah State. Kelsey, Brit and their older kids came as well. We have connections to Utah State because Ryker is going there and Brit and Kelsey both went to school there so we were excited for the game. I honestly went into the game not caring who won but as the game went on I found myself rooting for Boise State and was disappointed when they ended up losing. It was fun being with Kefford and my girls and I liked making the memories with home and doing fun things.

Snow Days and Mean Girls
Where we are at in Idaho is kind of funny weather wise. You would think we would get a lot of snow in the winter but we don't. It snows a couple times usually and then it melts typically same day. We had crazy snow when Kenedy was a senior and school got cancelled for at least a week but not a lot since. Until this year, we got so much snow this January and I really liked it. School got cancelled twice, not consecutively and I did a lot of snow shoveling which I enjoyed. I would shovel our driveway and sidewalks and I also took the initiative to shovel the Lambs driveway and sidewalks. Sean was in an accident which made it hard for him to walk right now and I wanted to help them out so Arin didn't have to worry about it. One morning I also shoveled Wanda Greens driveway and sidewalk. I loved using the shoveling as a way to exercise and really enjoyed doing service.
