Birthday 43

Andi brought me breakfast in bed.  She brought me my protein shake,  with apples and Almonds. 

Andi got me the Roses for my birthday, and my friend Sara brought over the tulips.  I love them both.

For my birthday cake, I got an angel food cake with strawberries, bananas and  cool whip. 

 

This is one of my favorite cakes.  

 

Birthday Aquarium Trip

The Octopus was probably our favorite.  It was so active in its new tank.

We also love the shark tunnel. 

This is in the Utah Room,  Kind of looks like we are at Arches. 

 I wanted to go the the Aquarium for my birthday.  I wanted to go as a whole family before Olivia left but it didn't work out.  But we did go on my Actual birthday.  It was a fun outing and we are glad that Jenn and Vince could join us. 

**Funny Saying:   We were watching the turtle tank and the they were being fed while we watched.  They threw lettuce, almonds, berries into the water for the fish and turtles.   Andi turns to me and says "look mom, your favorite, Almonds. "

Reading in the Fort

 Andi decided that she wanted to make a fort with our card table.  Then she decided that she wanted to read some of her favorite books under it.  She is Reading Creeping Pair of Underwear and Creepy Carrots.  

Talking to Livvy

 

We got to talk to Livvy today.   She did a video call with us and introduced her us to her companions.  She seems really happy and likes her companions.  She says she is super busy and already doing lots of teaching online and has already given a virtual tour at the Visitor Center.  

Andi was thrilled to talk to her and give her heart hands.  

Andi's Art

She wanted to make Rainbows out of playdough

She drew an owl in school and of course named the owl "Unicorn Girl"
 

2nd Covid Shot

 We got our 2nd covid test.  I got a headache about 30 minutes after the shot and had a nasty headache for 2 days.  Plus we both had really sore arms.  We hope we are through and don't have to get any more shots.   If we do I may opt out.   

She made it to California.

Leaving to California

 

On my way to California.  We had a few teary goodbyes. 

Valentine's Day

Jeremy got some beautiful flowers.  I love them. 

I got a Cheesecake pan and made a homemade cheesecake.  It turned out beautiful and delicious.

We had our traditional heart shaped pizza.  (Devin was at a friend's house)

Andi was super excited to get Valentines at school.  She made this cute bag at school for all of her Valentine treats from classmates. 

 

Family Outing with Sister Brunner

Braza Grill 

 We went on a family outing before Olivia leaves on Monday.  We went to Braza Grill and Jenn and Vince met us there.  The afterward we were going to go the aquarium. but it  was sold out.  So we went to Thanksgiving point to the Holdman Glass Studios.  We got to watch them make glass and look at the work that was already done.   That had a stained glass window of Christ that looked amazing.   The cool thing about this place is that they make some of the stained glass windows that are in the temple. 

*The price tag was 90 thousand dollars.
