Happy 20th Anniversary, Ummmm, Happy Birthday Noah 2021

March 2, 2021 (3/2/21)
We have now been married 21 years.
We almost forgot to get a picture on our special Anniversary day!

Ummmm, can you tell what's happening here.
These 2 are hooking up for one of the last times.

Happy 17th Birthday, Noah.
This was about the only picture I could get of our eldest boy on his special day!

 

Champion

Noah was definitely a champion this weekend at the Niotoc Rigby Speech and Debate Tournament.

He took 1st place in his Dramatic Interpretation Speech.

He took 1st in Lincoln-Douglas Debate.

He took 3rd place in Duo Interpretation.

This was Noah's last debate tournament before Nationals and District.

Way to go, Noah!

 

Greaser

James had to dress like a greaser for one of his classes for an activity they were doing.
How does he look? 😄

Grant wanted me to take a picture of his Harry Potter Bed, his Harry Potter Lego set, Hedwig, and his wand. He sure loves Harry Potter.

February 28, 2021 we got another dog.
Isn't she adorable?

Everyone fell in love with this cute little yorkie that was going to be Grant's dog.

As a 8 week old puppy she was twice the size of Cozette.

Rigby Speech and Debate

Last February 2021 I went with Noah to judge Debate for my first time.

Noah competed and did very well, as usual.

Rigby, of course, was the winning school.

Way to go, Rigby!

 

License for Hiram last February

Memories from last February 2021

Band concert for James, February 2021

James is playing the Cello.

James has definitely improved from last year.
He loves playing the cello.

It was an exciting day at the end of last February when Hiram got his license.

Hiram passed his driving test easily.
He is a good driver and does fine in winter weather.

This was one of Cozette's puppies from last year.
Cozette was a good mamma.
Her puppies always sold so fast.
Her breeding days are done now though.
I miss those puppies days.

Last Year Feb 20, 2021

Last year James had a fantastic birthday!

He turned 12 and enjoyed his cake and presents.

We also went to the Gravity Factory and had a blast as a family.

James

Jumping James! 😀

Go, James, Go!

Lookin' good, Jaden!

What fun gifts!

Time to open all the gifts, James!

 

Rock Climbing

We enjoyed rock climbing tonight.

Our Get Out Pass really gets us out doing all kinds of different things.

Destiny, Noah, Jaden, Hiram, Grant and James

Noah, Jaden, Hiram, James and Dad

Noah ready and waiting

Go Grant and James!

Climbing higher!

Jaden is way up there.

Grant on the climbing wall.

James on the climbing rope.

Go James!

Dad is way up there!

Whoa Hiram!

Noah's body can stretch way out.

Noah can contort his body in all ways.

You're almost there, Noah!

Grampa enjoyed watching everyone climb.

Even Mom got in on the action.

Those heights were terrifying, but even scarier was letting go of the wall and letting yourself trust the rope to hold you going down.

Hiram and Jaden

On my way up!

Whoa, that looks high, James thinks.

Yo, Hiram!
