Oh dear,

I didn't mean to leave anyone hanging on to their seats by yesterday's post.  I just didn't want to get up and take a picture, and I needed to blog something.  Misty called and asked Dad what it was.  She was envisioning a huge mess or disaster in the kitchen.  As messes go, this has been a relatively small one.

Kind of.

But, really, Gary just literally meant, "Oh my Stars."

I'm in the process of making a star banner for our Relief Society Birthday party.  I was just going to make flat stars, but when I searched "stars," I found these fun ones.  I'm going to connect them with ribbon into a swag banner.  The large ones are made with 6 12"x12" sheets of paper, and are just about 24" wide.  The smaller ones are made with 6 4"x4" sheets of paper.

Here are the great instructions which I found on this very cool blog.

Just think, if you make them, maybe your family will come home and say, 

"Oh my Stars."  

By the way, Gary thought he was very clever for using that play on words.  

And it reminded him of his Mom, because she always used that phrase.

Gary came home

today and said, "Oh, my Stars."   I'll show you why tomorrow.

I've been waiting for this little guy to arrive . . .

Because Harrison and Marshall's birthday are so close together, they had their birthday celebrations together.  Misty sent pictures showing them opening the musical cards from us. 

 She wrote: 

"They LOVE their musical cards.  Marshall showed his to everyone at Hyrum's game today.  He's a little disturbed because the cupcake on Harrison's chair is "Papa's."  (Note, it is the felt one that fits over the back of the chair)   The only other place he's seen it is on the video of Grandpa's bday in UT.  He just took it off of the chair and said he's "taking it home."  I guess he's walking your way."  

We are still waiting for him . . .

Happy Birthday Marshall!

An Academy awards night dinner Gary and Lynn's. They make it fun by seeing who can guess the most winners.

Harrison turns 8

today!

Harrison is such a delightful boy. He is anything but a Grinch, though he loves that hat and wore it everywhere in Florida.  He is very intense and dedicated to whatever he is involved in.  We are so excited to go out for his baptism.  He's putting it off so we can go during Gary's spring break and can spend more time.    

Tiffany posted this

on instagram today, and I asked her to forward the pictures so I could post them on my blog.  It is me and Tiffany and Tiffany and Lucienne.   I still remember the feelings.  There is nothing sweeter than a sleeping child.   Except for snuggling with a sleeping child.
