March

It was a busy month!

Trips and Activities

Lewis's baptism! The Heads came and brought Sam and Jesse's girls. They have a new baby brother, Benjamin.

James and Joseph went to an Esports celebration in SLC.

Kenny was awarded student of the month for his school. We got KFC and went to the ceremony at the district office.

I taught a class about bread at my ward's Preparedness Fair.

saw Snow White (a decent movie, much better than the reviews say)

hosted 2 game nights

completed the service project with the Primary (cleaning the Nursery toys, coloring invites for Easter)

attended a baptism on the same day

We had a fun weekend visit from Nash. He brought lamb! He and James went shooting a few times, and we all had fun hanging out.

took the kids and Nash to the Outdoor Expo

Birthdays and Holidays

my 37th! James took the day off to take me to lunch, force me to relax, and shop for fabric :) It was a perfect day.

Weather

a little bit of everything: snow, hail, graupel, rain, sunny days in the 70's

Sickness

Lewis - likely ear infection

James, Joseph, Kenny, and Katie - possibly influenza, but no confirmed diagnosis

visited the doctor for the first time in a while. She's the first to test my blood for various things, but I'm low on iron, Vitamin D, and progesterone, so I've bought my first pill organizer. :) It's amazing to have answers.

Repairs

sprinkler box, which flooded under the house a lot before we caught it. no real damage though since it's just the crawl space.

Projects

Still lots of sewing!

quilts: spring flowers, fall patchwork, winter "playing the scales", summer "crashing waves", baby patchwork, bees patchwork

6 swaddle blankets (donated)

14 laundry bags (just finished, worked on over 4 weeks)

4 mini messenger bags for the girls

summer fat quarter skirts for the girls

made Samantha's old blankies into a nightgown that should fit her for a while
