february wrap-up

This month has been fast, and not very busy for the kids.  We’ve spent most days home watching the olympics and at school/work.  We did have a few small occasions, valentines day and some sick days but generally not too much going on here.  Maybe as the weather gets better, we can get out a bit more!

Valentine Cupcakes, shirts, and cards.

 

Hank has an obsession with buttons.  He would turn his oxygen on and off all day if he could!

I’ve been re-learning crochet.  Thanks to my kitties for being models

Drew’s sick week.  Had a double eye infection.  We had to put ointment in three times a day.  Lucky us, three times a day for about 5 days, he claimed he couldn’t see (he wouldn’t open his eyes), and laid quietly on the couch for 20 minutes “relaxing”. 

another insta-update

January has been a busy month.  Not a lot of time to get the camera out but still so much going on. 

Hank’s first night in a hotel.  Can you believe it?  When Drew was this age he had stayed many nights in many hotels.

“look mom, I’m a band-aid zombie” 

I was never going to get my boys matching outfits, but I’ll admit, I can’t help myself. 

Another dreaded Cardiology Appointment. 

We found out that Hank’s pacemaker battery is only going to last a little over a year.  That means, in about 3 months we will start monthly phone transmissions to make sure we have reached the “end of life” on the battery.  Oh joy. 

saying goodbye (and hello)

Don’t funerals have a way of bringing family all together.  Everyone comes to say goodbye to someone, then they remember all the great family they have.  My Grandma Betty (my Dad’s mom) passed away a few weeks ago and joined my Grandpa.  We went to Salt Lake and attended the services.  Tons of pictures here.. apologies. 

So happy to meet Mama’s cousin Betty

Grandpa and Drew.  Best Buddies.

Pretty heart flowers (Of course had to have my heart hero pose with them) 

C.C., Aunt Tensia, and Mom

Hank and Grandma

Betty, Dad, and Uncle Brian

Lori and Drew (Thank heavens for great aunts to play paper, rock, scissor with)

See who can’t leave my camera alone?  Always has to have a close-up. 

Drew was so busy meeting all of the cousins, kids, and cousins kids.  He had a great time. 

Can’t resist that face  (my leggings were delicious by the way)

Drew and his new buddy James (he saw this picture and asked if James could come play here tomorrow)  Sorry buddy. 

James’s mom Nikki and her new baby girl Penny.  Pretty girls. 

Penny of course behaved for her mom.  Smart girl has her daddy right where she wants him.

So glad for the best Grandmas. 

3 Sisters. 

Kids (and their fearless leaders)

At the cemetery.  Cold but clear day. 

Drew and Ron (aka Big Boy)

Drew sported his sunglasses.  Perfect shot of Ron and Dad. 

Rare shot of Mama.  Proof that I was there. 

Whew!  You made it through.
