Birthday Luncheon In Honor of Grandma and Grandpa Felt

Grandpa and Grandma loved getting the family together. In honor of them, Marilyn and my mom (with my help) organized a luncheon in their honor.

We all enjoyed a great lunch at Golden Corral (one of Grandma's favorite places to eat) and shared our favorite memories of Grandpa and Grandma. They are truly missed and very loved. What a great example they have set for all of us.

Valentine's Day Party!!!

Clare and Nephi Moon invited us over to their home for a Valentine's Day party!!! It was LOTS of fun and we all enjoyed some amazing appetizers, drinks, desserts, and lots of entertainment from the kids!



Here was the line-up:

Clare, Nephi, Addy and Benson

Danielle, Ryan, Katelyn and Olivia

Sara, Sheldon, Marshal and Luke

Camille, Michael, Lance and Afton







We exchanged Valentines with the kids and had some "modeling" with Clare and I behind our cameras catching the funny dance moves!

Visit to Grammy

Grammy will be 93 soon so we thought we would take some pictures of her with her great, great grandchildren!



Lance - 3yrs, Johnny - 2yrs (napping at home), Afton - 13 months, and Evelyn - 9 months





They sure love each other!

Utah Flash Basketball

We went to the Utah Flash Basketball game as a family and with my cousin Nikki Felt and had a great time!



At half time they had a bunch of kids go out on the court for a "Dance Off" to compete for a free ticket to another game, and Lance won one! Go Lance!

Monte L. Bean Museum

The Bean Museum always reminds me of my Grandpa Felt. He LOVED BYU and would often take us grandchildren to the "Monte the Bean" Museum to look around. He was such an amazing Grandpa... I miss him. It's always great to remember back and think about him. I can't wait to see him on the other side...

Michael and I took Lance and Afton to the Monte L. Bean Museum for Family Home Evening and Lance LOVED it! He was so brave and touched all of the reptiles in the "Reptile Show" and especially loved touching the snake and tarantula! Ah!

Aunt Becca

Reading and playing with Aunt Becca!





Afton just loves that little chair. She will climb up in it, sit down, and "read" a book... so cute! It always makes me nervous when she decides to stand on it because she always feels the need to "dance" and bounce around with no fear! Just laughing and smiling the whole time... funny girl!



Lance loves his "Reading Area" (or Era as Lance says) and will snuggle up with a blanket and a book every day.

FASHION of 1999-2002

Long or short (girls, basic hairstyles were popular - hair styles from the show "Friends" were popular)

Jocks - Nike, Addidas apparel, baseball caps (never trucker, newsies, or any other style), tennis shoes.
Everyone Else - a mix between everything.

COLORS/PRINTS
Blue, Grey, Black, White, Pink, Red, Yellow, Green... never Orange!
Solids or Stripes... never any floral print, modern design, or anything like that. It was kept simple.
