events in February
Feb. 5th, Kaeli got her tonsils out. The hospital staff didn't know who they were working on crippled Brett or Sweet Kaeli. She did great! and Dr. Bennion is the best he has taken out all of our kids tonsils. We grow the biggest ones here. Keaton is next his are actually worse than Kaeli's were but we are waiting until he is a little older. Of course Grandma Giles always comes through with a present for being such a good girl and we let her pick out a prize the night before she choose Rapunzel from Tangled.
Feb 14th, We had our Valentines dinner this year I got dinner from the chinese place in the mall we love their Honey chicken and small noodles, they have the best food. So we opted to have it on the floor so the kids set up blankets and pillows (it was a little hard for Brett to get on the floor but he made it) then we added candlelight and fun!
Feb. 21st Sunday morning (since we had all day our church is being remodeled so we get to go to the stake center and our time is from 2:30 to 5:30) I'm sure you all wish you got to go at that time! It had snowed so much that we couldn't resist to play out with the neighbors, sledding down the small hill, building a snowman and a snowball fight!
Feb. 22nd Brett turned 39, A Super Happy Birthday to him!!!
He officially has lived longer than his Father... I think about that I don't know what I would do without him. He was so young and I look at the ages of our kids and it is sad at all he missed. We never know what is around the corner or when our time is up, so live it to the fullest, do not procrastinate spending time with your family, Brett's family spent many weekends fishing, camping and just having fun as a family! We try and take vacations and small trips, camping and we would like to do more so that is a goal to stop cleaning and spend more time with these awesome kids. Next year will be the big 40!
March brought...
More and more and more SNOW!!! So sick of snow!
March 8th We lost my Grandfather. He died after many great years. He has left a huge legacy and We will all miss him. It is hard to see your grandparents get older and not be able to do all that they would like to do. It was so nice to see cousins we haven't seen in a while.
Connor got 3rd place in the Science Fair. After many hours of trial and error, we finally got something to power the Ferris wheel. He wanted lemons to power the toy but after having tons of lemons and voltage it wouldn't work... apparently we didn't have any current... so we ran to radio shack to see what we could find... Electromagnetic Power! It was cool it powered the Ferris wheel, the light, & a fan all at the same time. We learned a lot also.
I decided the Laundry room just wasn't working for me. The lockers I had were to little and they really needed doors to hide the CRAP! So I took them out and went to Home Depot and got some bead board, hooks and 1 x 4's. I also went to Bennett's paint and got a light blue paint. Which feels so much bigger and cleaner. Now the opportunity still exists for the kids to hang their stuff up, but I still find it on the floor, imagine that! But I like it better and that is all that matters!
Brett was finally able to bend his leg a little, the Dr. locked the brace in at 30 degrees which was big...Yeah after 3 months of a straight leg it was moving!!!! He had that lock in for 30 days and then he moved it to 90 degrees this last week. He is doing much much better. He also gave him exercises to work on. they are not going to have him go to physical therapy, he will need to just work on these things and we also need to find him a exercise bike.
