And Life Goes On

 

Jan. 28 2012

Brooklyn cut her beautiful long hair short. Her Aunt Callie was working up a sweat. Cutting that thick hair is a workout.

 

February 17 2012

Mom and I went to the Portland Yard and Garden show. It is always fun. We bought some more aged Balsamic Vinegar. It is sooooo good.

 

Teach when they are young, and they will continue down that path

 

Feb. 2nd Lindsi, Callie, and Ashley went to lunch for a friends birthday and Cody and Evelyn came to my house.   Since it was such a beautiful Feb. day, I took them to the temple and the church bookstore.   Evelyn was a little afraid of the reflecting pond but Cody told her to be brave.   The kids went all the way around the temple and I forgot to take a picture of me with them.   I really was there.

And it is on to RED ROBIN, Family is the best

Heidi’s last night in Vancouver, we had to go to RED ROBIN.    All the kids were with a babysitter and the only one missing was Ryan, home in Utah holding down the fort.

 

Heidi and the kids flew home to Utah on Sunday Jan. 29th.   There was a lot of tears from the cousins and the whole fam..     We were so happy to have her here!!

 

Heidi is out and the Car show is in

The boys had a blast at the CAR SHOW Porter, Nathan, and Cohen were going from car to car they even got to sit in any car they wanted.   Part of the fun was the remote control trucks that “four wheeled” over some rocks and terrain.  The police car was interesting, the price on the window was $9,000,000.    Nathan kept asking “Where’s the “MONSTER TRUCKS” ? FUN, FUN, FUN.

To much talking, now our throats are sore!

Hair cuts, Hot tub, and Court of Honor

Of course the kids want to play in the HOT TUB.   Since Heidi is expecting she couldn’t be in the HOT TUB so Callie took all the kids  in.   Cody was at the house and he had fun too.   Heidi was fine to do “HAIR CUTS” though!!!  Now the Hill girls are triplets!!!   MaryLeigh’s hair was very long and she went to school and all her friends told her how cute it was.   Lindsi talked Callie into cutting her long hair. (we like it)

Callie is the Cub Master for her ward and Porter is a Wolf.   Callie has so much fun (and so does Porter)   It’s nice because Logan is the Bear Leader and they get to work together.   Porter earned some awards and his Wolf leader said he really earned the awards fast.  

Yay for SCOUTING

Jumping Jimmer and the Blazers

Well, aren’t these guys lucky!!!    The Portland Trailblazers played basketball while Heidi and the kids were visiting from Utah.    So, Cohen, Nathan, and Brooklyn, got to go with Casey and Verne.    Casey got the tickets for this game because he wanted to see a player named JIMMER.   JIMMER played with the BYU basket ball team and now he plays professionally for the Sacramento Kings and the BLAZERS were play the Kings.     The sad part of the night is . . . Porter was sick and he and Brandon had to stay home.   Porter was sick for about a week.   His dad took him to another game a few days after he felt better. (He loved it)

Snow . . . Rain . . .Wind Oh my!

After the snow and rain, the wind the next day took down our vine maple that Verne planted 27 years ago.   We got the tree and a few other vine maples from Milo’s house when he lived in Brush Prairie, WA.   Verne cleaned up the 5 trunks and limbs and the grandkids stacked up the logs and put them in the wood pile.    Porter, MaryLeigh, Nathan, and Evelyn earned a little money that day.
