1/11/2013 Grandma Yates Birthday, Cupcakes, Dance, and Valentine Boxes





What a busy and great day. We started the day off by calling mom for her birthday. It was so fun to talk with her, and to realize the strength that she is in my life. !! I was able to make it to the post office with a package sent up to home in Idaho..... felt like a huge milestone to make it to the post office! Yay! I am starting to have some amount of normal life again, even if I still tire easily. Samantha had a friend over afterschool, and they enjoyed spending some time at Walmart getting ingredients to make a fun Valentine treat (Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting... yum!), Tyler was content to try on all her dance outfits and dance around the house for all of us! I don't have a picture... but Tanner is really coming along with his reading. He is starting to really pick out some big words and is is enjoying books more and more. One of his favorite things is when Bretty reads him chapter books at bedtime. Its a fun thing that they do together. Dad and Bret stayed up late working on Brets Valentine Box for school. I will have to post a picture when the project is completed.... its going to be great. He is making a castle with a drawstring bridge, so that the cards he recieves can be sent in through the bridge into the castle. He sure has a mind of a creativity and some real artistic talent!! We sang songs for family home evening... which turned out really nice. We have a favorite right now... its from the new primary childrens CD we recieved... 1 Nephi 3:7 I Will Go And Do. Its a beautiful song. I love hearing the kids sing it, and singing it together as a family. It feels our home with the Spirit, and is a great way to end the day!
