January's gone and here comes February!

Ellie and Tess really know how to party and craft up a storm! I wonder where they learned this? They always make sure I have a great birthday and wrap such great gifts for me. Ellie had purchased a bracelet she bought with 'Beaver Bucks," she earned from reading. It is beautiful! Tess gave me a CD with her favorite songs! Mia gave me a valentine she had written all by herself!

Jack had his first flying lesson with Grandpa and he loved it! He didn't cry -- but did laugh, especially when he could see his Mom!

Tim and Billie Jo gave me this beautiful sign for the house and also a very cool new top, which I wore to school today and the kids all thought I was so fashionable! Giselle had spent Friday night with us (we went to Midway and watched her dance), and Saturday morning. She gave me a darling pair of black shoes and it was fun to have her home with us!
I know I just keep saying how deep the snow is, but can you see the snow banks are almost getting as tall as Dad?

We have got to start pushing the snow off the car port, as we are starting to cover the windows up. Boy is that Indian Crossing at Heritage Fields going to be a productive place this summer!
Max and Chelsea came from Logan where they had attended a ceremony at USU for Max's Grandpa because he has been the Athletic Physician there for so long. They came down on Sunday to celebrate my birthday with us. Billie Jo served us a scrumptious meal of creme of broccoli soup, a delicious salad, homemade rolls, salmon and mashed potatoes. Chelsea made a sinfully delicious cake. After Cinderfella Tim cleared the table and did the dishes, we got out as much "stuff" as we cold locate and started crafting. Our afternoon.evening/night of crafting produced some really clever products -- including a calendar Chelsea gave me for my birthday!
I took one last picture of the "significant" couple -- Bella and Zeke -- before Bella ended her extended "farm experience." They played and played all Sunday while we tried to plow out. Zeke lets Bella be in charge and she puts her foot on him, like she really won some great wrestling match. In the playful glee, Baby BJ somehow got lost. Dad and I drove up to Grandpa and Grandma's to take them breakfast and Zeke followed us. When we got home, BJ was no where to be found. We searched and called and hunted -- but he seems to have disappeared in thin air. The only thing we can figure out is that he tried to follow Zeke and someone picked him up. Out little round, black tribute to Bella and Zeke's friendship disappeared just like that! Zeke is in depression and shock tonight -- being left all alone, so I have let him in the house. I hope he can recover -- and me too!
I know I keep saying this, but can you even tell the Baretta is hidden beneath all that snow? Maybe in May or so we might see it again! Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow! There's more on the way tomorrow!
