Three 3-pointers

We really enjoyed watching Ryan's Jordan Beetdiggers Sophomore basketball team beat the Taylorsville Warriors on Friday afternoon. Jackie had called to let us know about the last home game. Ryan is number 22, and he did a great job..he got in there and scrambled and scored three 3-point baskets, plus he did some excellent guarding and rebounding.

Here he's scoring a free throw.

Ryan got fouled here, but the ref didn't see it.

Celebrating with My Munchkin Valentines two days late

Lindsay and Matt brought the kids by on Monday the 16th on their way to visit the zoo. They had planned the outing for Saturday, Valentine's Day, but the snow kept them away.

Kai is growing up way fast.Here he is by Bryce's elephant (the one I've willed to him, Bryce, I mean).

My Big Valentine gave me roses.

winter and spring thirty miles apart

Both of these shots were taken Last Monday at 5:30 in the afternoon. It was hard to believe that it could be so snowy at Lindsay's in Layton when it was dry in Salt Lake. However, it snowed here during the night, so the next morning we were back to winter also.

Accident Prone

This is what happens when a nearly-71 year old grandma doesn't focus. Saturday night I was taking some items to the storeroom downstairs when I became distracted and missed the bottom step. I felt something pop as I toppled forward on the side of my ankle, and I thought for sure it was broken. However, thanks to GramPeachie's genes and healthy lifestyle when she was expecting me (she walked a lot and ate tons of oranges), I have super strong bones, and x-rays at the emergency room showed that it's just a really bad sprain.

To my chagrin, however, I had delayed taking photos of Colette, Mike, Ro-Bo, and Lisa who arrived Friday evening for a weekend visit. On Saturday, they went to the Timpanogas Temple to attend the wedding of a sister missionary from the Rochester, Washington area. I spent Sunday in bed with ice on my ankle, so I wasn't doing any photography, and they headed home at 4 a.m. on Monday morning. It was great to see them, and we enjoyed the visit, and they got to see the rest of the family on Sunday evening when Jackie hosted a party while they watched the Super Bowl.

Guenther Gets Great-Grandson Number Two (nine great-granddaughters)

Krissie brought Mr. Cole Jaycob Norton for a visit last week. He is really, really cute...looks like his dad to us. Cole was born on January 5th 2009...he's already telling the world that he wants to do things on his own timetable. Everyone else wanted him to arrive a week or so earlier.

Birthday Dinner

We celebrated Ellyn's third and Jen's twenty-fourth birthdays last Saturday evening. Jen brought her friend, Jason.

A Project Gets Done

Guenther decided to sheet rock a wall in the downstairs bathroom last week, and we were delighted when Rich came over Saturday and gave him a hand.
