A New Grandson and Other Things.....

We have a new grandson!  And I can't wait to talk all about him, but first I need to catch up on some other things.....

First of all, we had a cold spell back in December that made me think we were going to have a long winter.  I was very excited.  Well, the cold spell went away and it turned warmer than usual very quickly.  We have had temps in the 80's and this week it hit 90!  Needless to say, the kids have already started swimming.
Not sure what they are looking for, but they love the rocks.
Ha! It's a little cold getting in....
But then they seem to be fine. I am not willing to try it yet.
We had a great Valentine's day with the Olsen's.  That has been a tradition for 4 or 5 years now.

Best husband ever!
Jared and Cate sent me some cute things for Valentine's and so Agnes and I made this picture for the cabinet.
The Robinson's know that Nicole and Ashley love puzzles.  Karina ran across this puzzle and couldn't resist buying it just for them.

Get ready Nicole and Ashley!
It will be waiting for you at the reunion!!
I went to a RS meeting a couple months ago and attended a class on gardening.  She talked about gardening in container boxes and for the first time I got really excited about trying it.  Karina wanted to try it too so we took on the project and made a small 4x4 container for each of our yards to try it out.
Other than a little trouble with the power drill, it went very smoothly and quickly if I do say so myself.

Grandma Klundt was here the day we put the boxes together so she helped us out.

Voila!

Ready to dig holes....
Scott helped with that part, best husband ever!

Then we added our soil, plants, and seeds. I have tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, green beans and am going to add a couple red potatoes this weekend.

Keep your fingers crossed!
Now on to the best part....Dan and Nicole have a new addition to their family, Wesley Cole Davis, born February 23.  He was 8lbs 9oz!  He had a little trouble the first few days with some breathing problems and was in the NICU, but he was a fighter and is doing great!  Scott and I were able to go up and visit.

On his way home!
Content on Grandpa's lap.

He's so cuddly!

Jared and Cate came by to see their new nephew.
Such focus...ha!
Is that a smile?? He loves his grandpa.
Camden loves his little brother!


Wesley needs a toy!



So proud!
There was also quality time with Camden which is the best ever!
Working with Grandpa!
It snowed twice!  Thanks, Utah!

Camden and I had some fun in the snow.
Snow angel!

Shoveling the driveway for Dad!
I completed a puzzle while I was there.....150 GIGANTIC PIECES ALL BY MYSELF! Nicole and Ashley, watch out at the reunion!!  You will have some serious competition. 
Eventually we had to come home, sniff, but we will be going back up for Wesley's blessing.  That's all for now. We are doing well and life is good!  Love to all.
