January was pretty uneventful. We didn't have a lot of rain which I appreciated because I'm training for a half-marathon and the weather determines how pleasant/unpleasant the training experience is. Every once in awhile on a pretty day, I take a picture to send to my college boys to remind them how beautiful WA is and how ugly Utah is so maybe one day they will want to move back home. Temporarily, of course.
The daily grind of piano practicing is back in full swing. Henry is actually really good! Parker is too but he loathes the piano. Marcus and Henry will probably be my only piano players. So sad.
Landon is so good about putting in the daily grind of practicing lacrosse and one time Henry decided to go with him. These brothers are so cute!
We still can't get over all the fallen trees when we go on mandatory Sunday walks.
Randy spent a couple weekends buying tools/supplies to build a temple in the garage.
The seminary kids will fill in the walls with popsicle sticks that they earn by reading their scriptures.
I've been influenced! I bought a weighted vest and Parker was having fun with it. I think it's supposed to help with perimenopause stuff but I just liked the idea of wearing it around when as I do laundry and clean the house or for going on walks with friends. I haven't noticed any benefits but do I like it? Yes!!
Parker is playing rec basketball and he's actually pretty good! We go to the church a couple times a week to work on his shots so he can be an actual weapon on the court.
I signed Henry up for lacrosse. None of my boys have started this young but Henry needs stuff to do since he doesn't have a neighborhood full of kids to play with. He's actually pretty good!
I went skiing and that's Parker in the red coat
That's Henry in the green trying to block Parker from being in the picture. Oh Henry!
I love my pink goggles! And skiing with these two was pretty fun!
Marcus played on an intramural inner tube water polo team with his girlfriend. I got all kinds of excited remembering when I played at BYU.
WE won! And I still have the championship t-shirt to prove it. Also, back then if you wanted to swim in the BYU pools you had to wear one of their standard issue swimsuits. They were always baggy so we'd often wear our own swimsuits underneath them. Kids have it so easy these days!
Henry is such a good reader! He's actually way above his grade level and it's so cute seeing him read at Parker's basketball games. We both bring books to read when Parker isn't on the court.
Hey Melanie, I just found out you used my debit card to purchase a pair of shoes and had them mailed to your front door at 832 Lancaster Wy SE in Sammamish WA. Would you mind sending me the 100.00 you stole from me, along with the other charge you made to Kohls for 150.00? Is this how you afford to live so well in a 500K house, or is this your fake family you use to engage people in financial support? I am reporting this theft to the police, especially since I was able to get all your person info, as well as where you had the shoes mailed. Please stop stealing from people, or at least know who they are before you steal from them so you can make sure you are stealing from a mother with a kid going through cancer, with a dying dog and abusive husband.. sure its the life I chose, but I didn't invite people like you into my bank account, to steal from me and make things even worse. I know you have my mailing address, so go ahead and drop that money in the mail to me and all will be forgiven, if not, I'll be talking to God about hellfire and brimstone. I've already told the BBB about you and Shiekh, and even suggested you might work for Chase so that might need some investigation as well. Sorry if this make life harder for you, or creates some inconvenience, but you stole from the wrong person. Respectfully, Beth Fuentes (you have my information)
