2023, March 13-19

Winter's last gasp may arrive in the next few weeks, but we know for sure that the calendar tells us that spring starts tomorrow. 

Mike and other family members kept working on the A-Frame this week. 

Look carefully below, and you'll see a deer saying hello from BUH. 

The tulips keep sprouting. More photos to follow. 

Eliza seems to be a natural at TKD. 


Ferg got caught blepping mid-bath.

This week, Eliza had field trip days for Yates Place. On Wednesday, Mike managed to take her up to the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake. But before we could go, he had to take her to the urgent care for an ear ache that she suddenly got the night before. 



(One of us, who didn't get a lot of sleep the night before, just might have dozed a bit during the planetarium show.)

The new Orem temple looked a bit ominous in the rain we drove through on the trip back. 

Every so often Ferg will choose Hallie. 

Here is Aspen, E's trainer from BUH. 

Eliza came to help Hallie out at work on Thursday. It was still a bit chilly but the fact that the snow was gone and it wasn't muddy was a definitely a good reason to head to recess!


She also had another day of TKD. 

The tulips also grew some more. 

The cabin also got more complete. 

Mike continued honing his drawing skills. Here we see his arms "deep faked" into some medieval art. 


By Friday, the cabin was complete! 

As a last hurrah for Yates Place, Eliza participated in a party and bonfire. 


Landon has gotten into boxing after reading a biography on Muhammed Ali. He's watched a couple of the Rocky movies, and Mike bought him some training equipment this week while Landon was at TKD. The boy seems very enthusiastic about his newfound interest, enlisting whoever is willing to spar with him. He's a bit stronger than he might realize. 


Hello, kitty. Landon was quite intrigued with Fergus under his parents bed. 

Saturday turned into a delightful early spring day. 

Eliza and Dad drew sidewalk chalk art on the driveway.




In the afternoon, Eliza, Lexi, and Mom went to learn how to decorate cakes, thanks to Big Mike's Cakes. The girls had a lot of fun! 



On Sunday morning, Eliza, Dad, and Fergus went on a walk around the neighborhood. Ferg was so enthusiastic, he jumped up a tree. Mike almost caught him up there before the kitty jumped back down. 


Here the A-Frame sits in its new home. 


We did one last drawing on Sunday morning. 


Spring arrives tomorrow, and we look forward to (somewhat) warmer days ahead. We're in no rush for summer heat.
