Bagels with Barrett

Ty was chosen from his class to get an award for following the schools focus attributes of the month.  Ty's teacher had noticed that he demonstrated confidence, was open minded, and was a risk taker.  He got to go early in the morning to have bagels with the principal (Mr. Barrett).  Blake, Janie, and I got to go too.  Here is what Mrs. Harmon said about Ty:

"Ty is a kindergarten superstar.  He starts each day confidently as he comes in and gets right to work.  He is very helpful to his peers and while he is strong academically he is open-minded to those peers who need assistance and is a great peer helper and model.  Ty's hand is often the first to shoot up to answer a tricky question or to tackle the challenge problems in math.  He is quite the classroom academic risk taker.  I'm so proud of Ty!"

I loved watching Ty go up to get his award and not know how to shake the principals hand.  He just stood there with his signature Ty smile.  Once it was over, Ty was off to class.  I had to yell to him to wait up, because I wanted to walk him there.  He was showing that confidence from his award and didn't need an escort from his mom.  I took him anyways and forced a hug and a goodbye.  We are proud of you Ty!

I had to take these pictures of our neighborhood when I drove home from the elementary school.  I do not love the snow and cold.  But this morning it looked pretty.

A Sunday Afternoon

This was the last Sunday in February.  We played some games together in the basement.  This picture is of us attempting to play "telephone."

Blake didn't win but he didn't lose either!

Rest of Grandma & Granpa's Visit

We all got to cheer on Blake at his basketball game.

Janie's Baptism

Janie was baptized on February 17th, 2018.  She was very excited for this day.  Both sets of grandparents were able to come.  We are so proud of Janie and the good choices she makes.  She is very obedient and wants to keep the commandments.

Grandma Jensen bought a bundt cake for us to eat after the baptism.  While I was helping Janie change from her wet clothes after she was baptized, the first thing she said to me was "Bundt cake!"  She was ready to party.
