Random March madness

This little gal has something to show you...

I spent a fun night out with my ladies~ we celebrated Kelly's birthday at a fab restaurant in SLC with a to-die-for dessert menu. Her birthday wish was to sample a little of everything! So we did!

Elizabeth had to dash after dinner and before we got a group shot~ so Debra photo-shopped her in.

Diana, Mindy, Debra, Mary, me, Kelly. Sure love these ladies!

These kids...

Jen and I were texting back and forth one Friday night~ she was sending me pics of a gorgeous resteraunt she and Brad were dining at in Cali. I texted her back what our Friday night looked like:

It was a snoozer yet still scrumptious evening.

 Paisley has racked in some serious coinage with her lemonade stand. She begged me to buy the pink lemonade and cups. She makes the lemonade, she lugs out her little table and chairs, she made her sign announcing her cost. She was running inside to tell me all excitedly each time she made a sale, but then got too busy. I was a little surprised to see the chunk of change she pocketed when it was all done.

I'm savoring the car cart phase at Macey's. I fear I'm in the countdown to where these are no longer coveted. Driving makes me sleepy, too!

One morning as Jon was trying to get the kids moving before school I had the idea to just take a free day. They were all really dragging- I was dragging- we haven't had a "free day" yet this year and it was the perfect morning to surprise them. It turned out really fun!
First stop~ Breakfast!

I texted this pic to my laurel Addie who works here and had left that morning to try out for Julliard in NYC! ~"Guess where we are???:

We were curious about the much hyped origami exhibit at the BYU Museum of Art. Awesome!

Zeke said, "Come here, Mom- I want to show you something that looks SO FUN to crush!"

There's a room where you can practice folding origami to video tutorials. Pretty fun!

Afterwards we were content to walk the busy campus and see the sights. We even had lunch there in the lunchroom. It was a lot of fun! I love being on campus! The kids were all saying that is where they want to go to school. I told them they probably couldn't get in because we do "free days".

About the time school would be let out we went to Provo Rec and the kids swam while I got caught up on my book. It was a real wonderful day!
Jon has been on the hunt for a vacuum. I was thrilled he was taking on this nauseating research and just made a decision. It is a well-informed decision.

And finally, artwork by Paisley, the dear:

Aw, I should have done the splits.

That darn cat wouldn't cooperate for her pic.
