Our Family Journal: February

Partner Writer for this post: Seth!!

Ice skating!

Natalie! She's ice skating!

It's Caleb! He's playing basketball.

He's going to his basketball game!

Natalie's doing a art project.

(This is evidence of Natalie's night life. She comes down frequently to show us her master pieces of art, literature, and sewing!)

I don't know where we are. That's not me. There's Natalie! And Caleb! And Jenna!

Natalie! (What is she eating?) uh... Chicken Divan!!

Ice skating!!

There's balloons!! (I went to New Beginnings with an "Up" theme.)

Oh! There's Owen!! And pizzas.

Natalie! I don't know what she is doing. (More night life evidence: She wrote a book called The Stolen Sapphire Ring.)

Ice Skating! (We did this A LOT!!)

Jenna at dance class!

I lost my blankie! Jenna shared her blankie!!

(Me and Kent got to go on a date to the planetarium. We had a great time! It is so fun to do something different. I love astronomy anyway, and it is even more fun with Kent! =o])

(We went to the lazer light show. Some of it was cool, but some of it I just had to close my eyes so I wouldn't be sick!)

Daddy! Daddy!!

Sethie! And Caleb's out there!

We're going to the temple!

That's mama! And we're going to church! (Seth and Jenna were both sick with ear infections, and Jenna was borderline delirious at this point. Hence, no solo pictures of them, and only this not good family picture. Oh well! At least we went!)

Look it's water! And there's the temple!!

There's the water. And Natalie.

There's all the waters. There's Caleb!

Blankie!! (Seth got my phone and took several pictures of his blanket!)

(My favorite essential oil finally ran out. Here is what I said about it on fb:

About 7 years ago I asked my Aunt Mickie Wallwork Niland to teach me about what she was learning as an aromatherapist. The conversation resulted in her sending me this little blended bottle of essential oils along with a few others that I could use to help my family. Since then I have tried other oils and brands but this oil blend still smells the very best to me! It reminds me of my role as a nurturer, and gives me a feeling of comfort and confidence that I can facilitate healing and wellness for my loved ones. Yesterday I used the last of it on Jenna. I had been saving it! I will miss having this ace in my pocket!)

(I treated the kids to the adventure of a car wash. Seth was TERRIFIED at first, but eventually warmed up to the fun of it a few seconds before it was over.)
