Our Laurel advisor moved to Virginia this month, so Karen and MaryAnne had a going away luncheon for her. It was a surprise and so that was fun. We will miss Whitney. She grew up as a young girl/youth in the ward, went away to college, got married had two boys and came back. So that is always fun to watch someone grow and change.
From L to R: Andrea Shafer, Jen Hill, Angie Tanner, Holly Mitchell, me, Toni Thatcher, Anna Clark and her sister Molly who was in town visiting Anna.
L to R: Karen Sawyer, MaryAnne Thomas, Linda Borla, Barbara Zach, Tracy Bohl, and Whitney's brother's girlfriend (I don't remember her name).
Jay and Andrea had their annual (even though they took last year off) Mardi Gras party. We went to that.
It is always a fun night and there were lots of friends to visit with.
The food was so good. New Orleans food which I don't really know the names of, but I do remember Po'Boys. Jen made this festive cake for the occasion.
Taz cooked dinner three nights in one week to pass off a Duty to God project. He picked the meals and cooked them himself. The first night he made homemade Broccolli cheese soup (shown in pix below) and breadsticks. One night he made spaghetti and galic bread and one night Chicken Rolls. He did great and I loved having dinner ready on piano nights.
Cynjyn's activity days group had a Daddy Daughter night with a western theme. They had a great time!
Garry and I watch Dexter. We love it. We are on season 4 and in the opening credits it always shows a blood orange. So we have wanted to try one for a long time. I went to Trader Joes the other day and they had blood oranges. So I bought a pack and we tried it. It doesn't taste much different than a regular one, but as least we can say we've tried one.
For FHE one Sunday, we rented Megamind Saturday and I bought everyone their favorite movie candy and some IBC root beer and we popped some popcorn and had a movie night! Cute show!
Found Taz on the treadmill the other day holding a huge bucket of cheese balls and eating them as he "worked out". Can you say oxymoron?
Cynjyn's school has had several dress up days and she LOVES them. Here she is on nerd day.
Groovy Day
Mismatch day
and St. Patrick's day.
She made the A/B honor roll and won first place in an onomonpia poem contest her class had. She took a test to see if she qualified for GATE (gifted and talented program) and got 98% and so now she gets pulled out for GATE weekly. She was so excited about that.
Tanner's been doing awesome in volleyball. Here are a few shots of him, one blocking and one hitting.
I don't know how Tiffany picks up stray dogs, but here is Talon with yet another one of her dogs she's agreed to babysit. It is Cujo, her brothers dog which she'll be watching for 6 months while he's deployed in Afghanistan. It's the first dog he hasn't been allergic to.
Garry has been much busier attending firesides and priesthood previews and various other church obligations. He even volunteered to bring refreshments to Priesthood Preview.
Tanner had a pretty lame spirit week this spring. It's never as good as fall, but one day was neon day and him, Preston, Amanda and Rachel made matching t-shirts.
They had their nicknames on the back in order: Strawberry Shortcake, Hot Stuff, Sizzling Bacon, and Muffins.
Tanner and Amanda ended up making them the night before.
And that's our month in a blog post! (I think).

Oh and it's March Madness, and Garry's officially done with watching it due to yesterday's outcome. But Taz really had Jimmer fever. He plays ball every spare minute now in the garage.
He made his shot...
...in his makeshift basketball hoop made from a laundry basket weighted down with weights and uses the swamp cooler as his backdrop. He also goes around the house singing "teach me how to Jimmer". If you haven't seen the video of it, look it up...on YouTube...it's good.
That's it, I promise, till next time!

It was a busy month...love the treadmill with junk food. And Whitney; all grown up. I remember her from girls' camp, she was always so nice and good spirited.
Quite a fun month--loved Cynjyn's outfits, she looks so cute! Good for Tanner! Good pics of him. You will probably end up babysitting the dog some, too! Taz is a good cook, and I know he enjoys it. Making chicken rolls all by yourself is a real task! Busy, busy, busy. We have been busy,too, this month. Must be March Madness--(whatever that is??) (this is mom, not KY)
Busy, busy, busy! When you lump it all together in one blog, it makes me tired just thinking of all the things you do. The treadmill/cheeseballs is just too funny!
