Olive Garden

Image
Today was our Stake’s Relief Society Conference. The main speaker was a grief counselor at a hospital who talked about coping with grief. We then took various random classes. I chose to go to cake decorating, gardening, and “finding joy”. They were all good, fun classes. We used a birthday gift card to Olive Garden tonight. Cora discovered the garlic bread.

Now I Have 3 Valentines

Today Rachel and her kids came over. We made chocolate covered Oreos with fancy Valentine’s Day toppings. I gave them to Clayton, who took them to work and shared them with his co workers.  Tonight we are making fondu for the first time. Fingers crossed that it works out. Ruby and Cora have this adorable new game they play when we’re hanging out in their room. They’ll chase each other around the rocking chair and stop to look backwards and laugh at the other one. Could they be any more adorable as a duo? Cora is standing on her own these days. Clayton have I have a bet going. He says that they’ll be walking by their birthday, but I think it’ll take them a little longer. Cora might just do it though.  It’s almost running season, and I am feeling the itch! All my favorite hobbies are seasonal, unfortunately. Camping, hiking, running, swimming, etc. I have been playing the piano and my violin a lot more recently, hoping that it will one day encourage Ruby and Cora to also want to learn to

Grandparents Weekend

Our friends the Helbigs were sealed in the temple this weekend, which gave us the perfect excuse to visit Dayton. Clayton went to the sealing on Saturday while the girls and I hung out with Nana and Abba.  I’m always really disappointed in the quality of the pictures that my phone takes. Aren’t iPhone supposed to have good cameras in them? Mine stinks. Oh well. Anyway, we had a great time. We watched the scariest movie ever called Split. It’s about a guy with split personality disorder. Absolutely creepy. We also watched a movie called Gifted, about a guy who gets custody of his niece. It was cute. The weather driving home was awful. It tacked an extra hour into our drive. Luckily Ruby and Cora fell asleep the minute we started driving away from the house, and they went straight to bed as soon as got home. Those girls were tired.
