Marshal's First
Season of Basketball
Marshal was my first kid to decide he wanted to try basketball and he has really enjoyed it. He played with a couple of friends from his class at school, Gaige and Jared (not pictured). As with all sports so far, he's a pretty good little basketball player.
Red Rocks Gymnastics
Cort and I enjoyed the gymnastics meet against Oklahoma and
Kent and I enjoyed the meet against Arizona later in the month.
Just starting back to meets after a lot of Covid interruptions.
The arena is still a little sparse.
Favorite Cowboy Day
Beautiful World
When you get to the point in life where you don't care for b-day's your wife and kids decide to make up a new holiday. We now celebrate Favorite Cowboy Day on the 24th. :)
Life in January
Top Left: Kent seems to think that an important food storage item is ice cream. I mean the world may be ending but at least we have Tillamook ice cream. At least he bought it on sale. lol Left Middle: We decided our Mosaic Mysteries puzzle needed to have a Valentine's Day theme. Bottom Middle: We decorated these cute jars for Valentine's Day. I'm starting to enjoy more time to make crafts. Top Middle & Top Right & Center & Bottom Left & Bottom Right: The kids and I enjoying some fun Facebook filters.
Top Left: We went on a cold dark winter walk and say this as we walked past Hickman's house. Right after we heard a good creepy horror film scream. I look forward to seeing their movie. Top Middle: Playing with my purple extentions.Top Right: Great quote by Kirk Cameron. Left Middle: I love it when Kent sleep talks. Bottom Middle: Turns out this lego guy means that Cort hasn't missed a day of school this year. It's an award that seems interesting in a year following a pandemic. lol Right Middle: Marshal enjoyed going to Jared's party with a bunch of friends from his class. Bottom Left: Laura, Syrina and Kristen and I got together and painted some Valentine's paintings. It was a lot of fun and I like how it turned out! Bottom Right:Another shot of my purple extentions.
Top Left & Top Right: When I came to work and saw that the desks had moved I was so excited...but we still haven't moved so who knows. lol Middle Photos and Two Bottom Right: I found this "Scouring stick" at Lowe's and decided to give it a try. It has cleaned my bathroom tiles excellently! I love it! Top Middle & Bottom Left: Kent and I had to redo the bathroom and the new floor is not only even more beautiful but it is truly a miracle from God. I prayed that as we refinished the floor we would find a good floor at a price we could afford. We took forever to decide on which floor we wanted. When we were finally ready to purchase the guy who was working (we were disappointed the guy we had worked with before wasn't working) heard how little flooring we needed and encouraged us to the back of the warehouse in the discount section. Kent and I were a little annoyed, but we decided to see if he could save us some money in that mess. We grabbed the piece we liked and tried to find a match to it. We kept finding things we liked but not enough boxes of the product. We finally landed on this flooring. I liked it, but I still wasn't certain it was what I wanted. It sounded like it was going to be a substancial discount though. When the shop was closing and we were loaded up we went to pay and his debit card machine wouldn't work. He asked if we had any cash and as I recall the total had been about $60 (from about the $300 we figured it would cost us). When we said we only had $40 he told us he'd take it. How much more beautiful this floor looks knowing that it is a blessing and answered prayer from God!
Top Left: I loved this quote by Sister Holland. Left Middle: Marshal cracks me up. His mind is always thinking and making connections. Center: This Meme reminded me of Erik and Levi and Aaron. Other Memes: We played a spirit animal game on Facebook and decided that this game did not like me. I should have stayed with the mouse on the toy horse that I got first. Kent didn't do too bad though.
Top Left & Top Right & Bottom Left: These are all poems that Braxton wrote. I thought he was a pretty good poet so I asked him if I could post them to my Blog. With a little hesitation he did say yes. Left: I have no idea what reminded me of it but I took this photo to ask my family who remembered playing, "This is a Spoon" at Grandma Holdaway's House. Left Middle: This is the kind of door mat I need. lol Middle: Kent took a quiz online and send the results to me. I circled the best part and sent it back to him! 💖 Right Middle: This is my sock drawer that I took a photo of. I really do love my life neat and organized even if I am not always good at it. Right: Braxton had a health assignment and in the assignment it asked him questions that showed what was important to him in a spouse or a partner. I thought it was interesting so I asked if I could post this as well. Bottom Right: This meme made me laugh because sometimes I think these are Braxton's favorite colors. lol
