We had visitors in February. Thad and Andrea came with Brooklyn and Adeline. We had a great time. Brooklyn is having fun outside.
While they were here we had a wood cutting party.
Here are two of the best helpers.
It is fun to have family visiting. We really enjoy hanging out together and getting to know our grandchildren.
This is our dog Merk. At the beginning of the year she disappeared and was gone for 3 weeks. We had given up on her return when our neighbor called and said that Merk might be at the dog pound. We went and check and there she was. It was a happy reunion . We found out that she had been caught by her paw in a small animal trap for about 10 days. Someone found her and took her to the pound. While there she was doctored and fed and returned. She now stays close to home. Most of the time.
Adeline enjoys her food.
and also as a soloist. Good job!
Her cousin, Emily Maughan also performed a solo. She has a great voice. Nice job, Emily!
Melissa has had a busy year. As a senior she was to complete a Senior Project. She chose to learn the Piano piece "Claire de Lune " by Claude Debussy. One of the requirements was to do a service for the community by sharing the completed project. She played an assortment of piano pieces plus Claire de Lune for a Nursing Home. They loved it! She plans on returning with some friends to play and sing for them.
This year we decided to buy new furnishings for our home. We now have the BIGGEST TV ever. It gave me nightmares for awhile. I felt it was taking over... But I now have that under control and the watching of it too.
We also bought a couch.......
and Love-seat. It is a nice change and we enjoy them.
Hannah is holding the newest addition. Ryli. She is a cuddle bug.
March is the birthday month for Morgan, Katie, Mason and Mom (grandma)
Time to blow out the candles. Mason was able to blow out both sets of candles on each dessert before I could even take a breath.
Morgan is a princess for the birthday party. What a cutie!
Time to open presents.
The birthday girls.
Time for the School Spring concert. Such happy singers?....
We got to take Morgan with us to the concert. She enjoyed the singing and band playing.
Elly came to visit in March. Thank you Elly for the visit. We loved it!
Elly takes very good care of our hairstyles. We get pretty shaggy when she is away for a long time.
Morgan got a trim too..
A 4 generation picture. Great Grandma Wells, Grandma Wells, Katie Wells Hansen and Baby Ryli Hansen.
We were able to get tickets from Andrea's Dad to attend the 1st session of General Conference at the conference center in Salt Lake.(Thank you Brother Evans) We traveled to Provo and stayed with Thad and Andrea. We had a great weekend and loved being able to be in the same room with the Prophet and Apostles.
The passengers while Melissa was driving. They seem quite relaxed.
