Cameron's New Car

Cameron bought a car last weekend!  Wow!  He got 2010 Toyota Corolla and got a great deal on it.  He's worked hard and saved over the last year and used all of his own money!  Yay, Cameron!

Donuts and Other stuff

This week we had donuts and I made another blanket.  School happened in spurts, with boys having different projects due on different days.  I created another set of videos for week 3 of optional music at school.

Cameron's Graduation Yard Sign

We were able to order a graduation sign for Cameron!  He loved it!!

Hey Cam, can you come out and help me
with something?  SURPRISE!

Dressing Up for a Birthday Video

This week we filmed a video for our neighbors's 15th birthday.  I talked Ashton into wearing the Napoleon Dynamite wig and glasses and I pulled my Dorothy wig out of the closet and we did a little song for her.  So silly!

Distance Learning Videos and Puzzles

Derrik supporting Ash

This week was filled with more school, drum lessons, and me recording my first two sets of videos for my classes at SCE.  I also got another puzzle finished which is gratifying in its own right!

Easter 2020

We had the Hubbards over for church, lasagna and Texas toast, cheesecake and strawberries!  While it wasn't quite the same, we still had a nice day being together and celebrating.

Easter sugar cookies

Easter Bunny brought treats!

Zoom Calls

How fun to be able to connect with my parents and sisters via zoom!  I love seeing their faces and checking in.

Duet with Candice

Candice Kugler and I sang a duet "together" this last week for Easter.  "O Sacred Head Now Wounded" was a song that we did back in high school.  It was fun to sing with her again!  Cameron was a big help editing our videos together.

Masks from Mom

We finally got our homemade masks from Grandma Bonnie!  The boys love theirs, though they hardly ever go out.  Derrik and I can start using our on our next grocery run.  Thank you, Mom!

Quarantine Week 4: Spring Break!

We didn't do much this week except eat out, talk together and hang out.  We went on a few walks, made rice krispie treats and homemade bread and I got another blanket made.  Online school starts back up again tomorrow.  All school campuses are closed for the remainder of the school year.

Blankets, Bread and More

What am I up to?  Well, my hope was to do some online activities for the kids at school but I was told by my principal not to.  I can only imagine the amount of work that goes in to organizing online schooling for all of them, so I'm happy to back off.  What to do with all my free time? 

• I am still making blankets to donate to Project Linus.  
• I dusted off my old bread machine and have been making bread for us.  It's gone in about 5 minutes!  After waiting three hours for it to mix and bake, it doesn't last long!
• I sent in an encouraging email to our staff on Friday spirit day!
• Reading, playing cards and working on puzzles!  

  

Date Night - Quarantine Style

Derrik and I have kept up with date night even though we are "locked down" until further notice.  We've been eating take out in our car and picking up groceries.  Not perfect but it works!

Surgical Masks I found from home

Ethan's 21st Birthday!

Yep, it's true, he's 21.  We did our best to celebrate him with gifts and food and lots of love!

Cameron made Ethan a little video - very sweet!  I'll attach it at the bottom.
