March

March is over!   It began with Jason leaving for 2 weeks for work and a trip to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat.  He left on a Thursday, was gone the next full week and returned the following week on Wednesday.  We did fine while he was gone, but it was great to have him back!

Angkor Wat

He stayed in a beautiful Marriott resort while he was working, but unfortunately only saw it in the early morning or late evening.  The plant they were working at was an hour away.

 On Madaline's birthday, Sunday, March 12th, we gathered at Mom's to celebrate Jacob's, Madaline's and my birthdays.  David decided to go with his family to Fiji to celebrate being 50.

On my actual birthday Randy and MarySue took Jacob and I out to dinner at Iggy's.  The next Monday Karen took us out.

On March 20th, Draper Elementary had their annual student art show.  Each grade had art work displayed that they had been working on.  Jacob's grade did "stained glass" and it turned out well.  They have a great art program.

I helped in the art class the 2 weeks previous with the projects and then on Friday and Monday with set up.

Their teacher, Kylie Welling, is a good friend I have known for 20 years.  She lived in Shadow Ridge condos when I did and we were in YW together.  Small world.  

The middle one is Jacob's

After the art show the kids (Jared's family and Randy and MarySue came) wanted to go out on the playground.  Here Jason and Jared are playing a little tether ball.  

 On Thursday, March 23rd we celebrated Jacob's 9th birthday!  He got to open up Lucky Charms cereal for breakfast and the rest of his gifts later that night after dinner.

 He got some mints, gum and a new Xbox controller, but his favorite gift was.....His Ripstik!

 At the end of the month we went to Josh's to celebrate March and April birthdays.  Later that week Jason, Jacob, Jared and Lily all went to the Jazz game.
