Old McDonald had a chicken...

Emily showed Eli her pet chickens the other day. Eli loved them and laughed a lot. The chickens have cool names like "Goldie, Cobra, Jacob" etc...Eli and Emily played while Jami and I did some canning and enjoyed catching up. It was a super fun day for everyone!!

Happy Birthday Shannon!!!

Shannon had a birthday in March so we celebrated with a potluck dinner and yummy chocolate cake! It was fun to have the cousins together and watch them interact. Ava brought her princess couch and the kids were constantly in and out of it, they were being so funny! Happy Birthday Shannon, you are awesome!!

California

Last weekend Eli, Gina and I flew to California to visit Geoff, Fanica and Bailey. It was fun to see the cousins play together. Bailey taught Eli how to give kisses and Eli loved sharing his sippy cup. Here are some pics of the weekend. Geoff is enjoying the Navy. Fanica is looking great this pregnancy! She is having a boy, Samuel Dean Schmidt, due in May. Bailey is such a busy little girl! She is so polite always saying thank you to everyone and blowing kisses. We sure miss them and are glad they are doing well down in San Diego.

Snow BBQ at the Dooley Igloo

A few weeks ago church was cancelled because of the snow and I was SO excited because I was scheduled to give a talk. I do NOT like to speak in public which may come as a surprise because I really like talking any other time:) Anyways, we walked over to the Dooleys house and had a BBQ. It was lots of fun watching the snow fall outside and drinking hot cocoa inside!! It turned out that all the talks were rescheduled and I ended up giving my little shepherd talk anyway the following week...of coarse!lol!!

Grandma and Grandpa Waddells house
