St. Patrick's Day Delight

Today is one of my favorite holidays. I love that I have authentic Irish blood. We have made a tradition of going to the parade here, which as you can imagine is a big deal. The boys love the bands and bagpipes. One of my children if not all will play the bagpipes. The weather was lovely, Cameron was with us, we had a fantastic lunch at Recipe on the UWS and roasted marshmallows at home. My feet hurt and I'm tired, but I call that a good day.

A day in Brooklyn

Wednesday was gorgeous. We had no plans. As much as I love hanging out in the park, we had done that all day on tuesday. I hate wasting good weather. So I decided last minute it was a good day to walk the Brooklyn Bridge and get some ice cream. I convinced a few friends to join us, and we had a glorious day.

A little sugar love

We made sugar cookies for Valentine's Day to give away to friends because we all know I don't need more sugar in my life. John helped cut them out and do the sprinkles. Since Christmas he has gotten to be quite good at sprinkles. Now I need to share the live as soon as possible. Happy Valentine's Day!

What we did yesterday

Cameron's sister Brynn and I took the boys to the dinosaur museum at BYU. Although small, it provided an entertaining 20 minutes of fun. John happily went around scaring (and biting) all the dinosaurs. Grant growled at them and enjoyed climbing any stairs he could find. Good times. Dinosaur bones are the best.

We then went to the playground where we made a miniature snowman, ate dirt (Grant) and played around with a duck with a Mohawk. Who says Provo is boring.

Fun in Utah ... And some work too

The boys are enjoying what snow is left on the ground and playing in Elfinden, the tree where the elves live outside grandma and grandpa's house. They aren't here right now but they left some evidence of their recent stay. John has also been shoveling some snow. His choice.

Kay Kelly

Cameron's wonderful grandma passed away this week and has been reunited with her husband and love John Kelly whom John is named after. We miss her but happy she had a beautiful life.

Almost warm enough

I took the boys over to see my cousin Stephanie this afternoon because she and her new husband just moved a few avenues away by the river. We stopped at a small playground nearby after because the sun was shining and it seemed warm. It wasn't really but they enjoyed being outside. I love Riverside Church especially in evening light.
