This dog has brought so much fun to the Jennings family. He is spoiled rotten and we all love him. Thought this was a good Valentine picture showing love.
This month is a good one because it is all about love and being kind to one another. It started with Emie going to Wendover to pick up her brother Conner who had been doing his MTC on line at their grandparents home in Elko, Nevada, and bring him here.
They left the next morning for the SLC Airport so he could go to his mission in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was on fire and so excited to go. They are just good children of Misty and Cameron. She is now in her own apartment.
I finally got a picture of Eli Brown who gave his farewell last month. I wanted a picture so I would always remember him and the wonderful spirit he carries wherever he goes.
The next day, Wednesday the 3rd, we went to Spanish Fork to get our immunizations against Covid 19. It was so easy, fast and painless. The best part was that we were right next to Ruth and Max Seamons whom we had served with in Palmyra. We will see them again on the 24th for our booster shots. Hopefully I will remember to take pictures.
We have been called to be the facilitators on the Emotional Self Reliance program for our Stake. We are very nervous and excited at the same time. It is all on line so it is very different and hard to really feel the people. We will improve as time goes by. We meet for 1and 1/2 hours every Thursday evening.
Sunday, the 7th, we took dinner to our neighbors, the Richards. She has been in the hospital and is not healthy. We were pleased to help out a little.
Tuesday the 9th was Dave Jennings birthday. We are so glad Tiffani found this good man. He is such a good father and husband for that family. He is fun to be around and they do so many things together as a family.
Friday the 12th was Chinse New Year. I love to decorate for this holiday because of Clark serving in Taiwan. Sorry about the blocks of wood.
While walking in the mall we turned a corner and this enormous painting filled the entire space. It was so beautiful.
Tiff and family came at midnight. We love when they visit. Of course they brought Titan. This is what I was awakened with:
The next morning after Ava's dance lesson, the girls gathered their things and headed for Scott's house. I love how the cousins get along so well. The twins and Cameron have not been in a school for 11 months now and it has been very difficult not being with other teens. Kolton had Cameron go with him and some friends and Ava, Nixon and Rowan entertained the girls. The girls stayed until Monday. It is such a wonderful thing and they are so close. Ava had a party including boys so they really had a good time. Nothing like that happens here. Tiff was able to visit with Clark's family intending to go to Erik and Shanelle's next but Titan and Watts decided the mud and snow was lots of fun. She wrapped Titan in a towel and came home for a dog bath. The tub was filled with mud but Titan had a great time with Watts. I can't remember when but we just sat around and visited.
Valentine's Day was on a Sunday this year which is so perfect. Our Savior preached about loving everyone and serving one another. We sent a Valentine to each family and put a $2 bill in for each one. It's just a crazy thing but you don't see them very often. Something to keep.
Scott and Beth had invited us to dinner which was fun. We had a lovely meal and just had such a great visit. The cousins had their own room.
Titan and the Scott Bayles 2 dogs went crazy and ran all over the back yard. While we were there Erik, Shanelle and the boys came by to give Scott's family some delicious homemade cookies. Of course the cousins visited around Erik's car for awhile in the freezing cold. They love each other so much. How blessed we are. Tiffani was so happy that she got some time with Shanelle and Erik.
Monday morning Tiff left to get the girls so they could get ready to leave. When she opened the front door there was a huge plate of Shanelle's cookies there. I was so excited. Shanelle should open a bakery her cookies are so good. They're much better than Crumbl cookies and she puts tons of frosting on them. Some time during this visit the girls got out the Karaoke machines and sang to their hearts delight. What fun.
At 1:00 my sewing repair man came to fix both of my machines. I am working on a black-eyed Susan quilt and I couldn't get either one to work properly. I had 96 triangles and 96 petals on the floor and wanted to get them done. No way. I had to undo many of them because I couldn't get the tension right. He fixed them and sharpened some scissors and knives. Nothing sewn, just laid out.
Tuesday the 16th was Molly's last home game. They presented all the seniors with many gifts and recognition. Of course she was the prettiest one. I have no idea which game this picture is from but we watch on TV so it is always a bad picture. #23 middle one
Wednesday the 17th was Aunt Julie's (dad's baby sister) 69th birthday. What a wonderful sister and friend. We love her and the example she sets for our children.
In the last 2 days we have had some snow. the first of the winter and we feel so blessed.
Friday the 19th, was a great day because we got to watch Molly play ball and Ava dance on TV because of the Covid.
We took more pictures of Ava because this is the only time we have been able to watch her. She was in a dance competition from the NYC Dance Academy.
The best thing about today was Asher became a teenager. He is quite the guy. He loves everything and everybody. He has a smile that warms your heart. We love it when he come with his brothers to mow our lawn and does a good job. He loves his family and his cousins.
I am so thankful for a husband who takes such good care of me. He is very attentive to my needs and I can't imagine life without him. This week was difficult and he was there all the time. There are so many blessings to retirement.
Tuesday, the 23rd, we went to Molly's playoff game which they won, It was the first time Clark and Dianne's family had been together for a long time. What a blessing. It was the only time this year we have been able to watch a game played inside, this year.
Wednesday we had our second Covid shot and then went to brunch with Seamons. Again I forgot to to pictures. We love these people so much. We are so thankful to be able to see them in person.
Tiffani called to let us know that after an entire year the kids will be able to go to school in person next month, YEAH! This is how Titan helps the family with scripture study. He is so thoughtful.
February has been a great month. We have been busy with me working on a quilt and Granddad spending hours doing genealogy for both families and finding so many who have had families already sealed but a child or two dad found that had been left out. He is so thorough in his research and we are so anxious for the temples to open so we can actually do this important work. We will definitely need your help. We love our family and have great love and security in knowing you are all such good people and that you love the Lord and teach our grandchildren (perfect as they are) to pray and love the Lord. We love you all and pray for each one of you individually every day.
