Last weekend we loaded up the truck with all the things Mortensen's didn't take and headed to Hyrum. Here is the truck as we parked in their driveway...yes - the backboard sticking up like that caused a little wind pull. Dad thought of hanging it off the back but decided that wasn't as safe.
The back of the truck with Dad beginning to unload - Joel was happy to have his bike.
I finally finished the needlepoint for the piano bench. Notice Kate's footstool - Granny's old one - the first needlepoint project a couple years ago. Emilee and Lindsey have some chairs from long ago - they are wearing out! Anna still likes playing the piano but needs a new teacher.
Close up - the new cover makes the old bend look like it needs refinishing!
Annabelle's teacher had a contest to guess the M & M's in this jar - Anna won! She said 7,000 and there were 7500 - or something like that! She said her teacher tried to trick them, having large M&M's, peanut and then some of the tiny ones! Way to go Anna!! she shared with us.
Joel's Junior Jazz basketball game - he is at the free throw line - and he made the shot! Number 27 - all the boys on his team are from Hyrum - the play Saturday's in the Logan Rec Center - next to the high school. Really nice facility - and Joel's team did well - final score 34 - 12.
Joel made lots of shots, and passed a lot - several assists also. You can't play defense on the home side of the court - so he and his teammates are waiting for the other team to bring the ball up court.
Here's the cute Mortensen Family - and two old coots talking basketball! It was fun to have Uncle Ken there. He says he still plays at the noon league - and will until they stop guarding him!
After Joel's game we went to lunch with the Mortensen's and then attended the Logan Temple with Aunt Becky. When the temple was finished we went back to Becky and Ken's for a light dinner...yummy crab cakes and salad. It was funny to see Becky's Valentine's decorations included the same small book - The Story of Valentine's Day - that I have on our entrance way.
