Since the world was still shut down in May we had lots of fun together at home.
The kids missed out on field day this year at school so they created their own in the backyard!
The neighbor down the street is a DJ and decided that he will have a dance party every weekend for the neighborhood. It's fun for everyone to get together and mingle while everything is still shut down.
William surprised us at Family Night by playing the guitar for us!
For a little bit we had ward meetings (with a few talks and a musical number via zoom) and then we would partake of the sacrament at home.
I completed a really hard puzzle (Rich helped with about 20 pieces out 1000)
We played some games together for Star Wars Day (May the 4th)
I finally sewed a mask so I could go to Costco (they are required now).
We did some more volunteer work at the orchard.
Coronavirus couldn't stop our annual water balloon fight from taking place!
This was as good as it got for our Mother's Day picture.
We worked on some fun crafts.
Henry made us a giant cookie.
Lydia helped me deliver water balloons to all the ward primary children.
And then we had a water balloon fight!
Lydia started learning to ride her bike with training wheels.
When we went to volunteer at the Orchard they let us help with the chickens!
Rich and I celebrated our 17th anniversary at Bob's Ranch House.
End of the year awards ceremonies were held virtually.
Henry's teacher, Ms. Dorbeck, is the best! She stopped by with a treat for Henry.
We helped out with onions at the Orchard. It was a stinky task!
They let us take some onions home with us. James thought it was a good idea to eat one raw!
We gave a little end of the year gift to Mrs. Marjie and Ms. Dorbeck.
The pandemic couldn't stop the annual start-of-summer party held by the Fitzgibbons. We had a great time even though we were only allotted a small time to come over.
We had a great time exploring the fossil beds near our home!
Lydia hosted a tea party! She planned out all the details and the boys were all good sports to join her.
I went shoppping for the first time with a mask on. Hopefully this is short lived.
Man, it's rough being in this neighborhood. Two dogs! I hope it's better in North Carolina!

Somehow everyone that comes out of mom's tummy, that's a boy, somehow loves Dad! 1-19-12
According to James...
James has enjoyed making his own lunch (of food he wants to eat) so much that he told me, "It would actually be a punishment for you to make my lunch!" 8-26-15
(expaining to a friend after hearing me tell Henry that I wanted to eat him up) Do you know what "I want to eat you up!" means? It means I love you SO much. 5-3-12
Look! A zookeeper! (This was at church, pointing to a boy in a boyscout uniform) 4-8-12
According to Alex...
"When you look at Lydia you can't take your eyes off her because she's so beautiful... Mom, you are pretty too." 6-24-2015
mom: Alex, how did you get so funny?" Alex: "I'm not funny." mom: "you're pretty funny." Alex: "no, I'm not funny. I'm hilarious." 1-22-15
About his kindergarten teacher: "She's nice but she likes to torture me with hand sanitizer." 1-22-15
The Life of Henry
Henry has started writing "Jeff" on all of his school papers. His teacher will even call him Jeff at school. He is so silly! 1-30-17
(after eating a peach from off our tree) The crust tastes like fur! 7-17-16 (apparently I've always peeled the skin off in the past!)
I gave Henry a piece of watermelon to taste and asked him how it was. He replied, "C'est Magnifique! That means it's great!" 5-23-16
Lovely Lydia
Henry was making a mess while brushing teeth one night. Lydia was standing there and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! You're making a mess!"
Rich was finishing dinner one night before I got home from choir. Lydia saw him open the crockpot and told him, "You're going to be in trouble! You're going to cry." (October 2017)
"Party? Treat? Soon!" January 2017 (2 years old)
Starting to stand on her own. (14 1/2 months) January 2016
