New Playhouse

 

 

 

Hi Everyone,

More than a week ago we got this great playhouse from Costco (for just $279) and Mark put it together last Saturday in the freezing weather (he's such a nice Daddy). The girls picked it over the $1000 playset, which was a win-win situation. It finally got warm enough for them to play outside and they had so much fun. We got a cute cookware set with metal pans for them to play with out there. The playhouse has a sink and a pretend burner/BBQ (in the picture you can kind of see the metal dome that covers it). We also got a cheap soccer goal and some balls for them to play with outside. We are going to have fun outside this spring and summer! You come too!

Love,
Aubrey

Happy Birthday BethAnne!

 

 

 

 

Today my 1st baby girl turns 8! Time goes by so fast. We are so glad that BethAnne came to our family. She has been through a lot in her short life, but she is so strong and brave. Her heart is filled with love and faith and she has become the best helper! I don't know what I'd do without my BethAnne. We're so excited for her baptism next week. We love you BethAnne!

Playing in the snow

 

 

 

 

After 60+ degree weather from Saturday to Monday, this snow was a bit of a surprise. After getting Grace suited up, Joy cried to join in. So I gathered some old, smaller (but not small enough) gear and suited her up. It was her first time playing in the snow and she spent a lot of time trying to get up after falling. It was cute.

Winter at the Llewellyn's

Ok, so I'm seriously behind on blogging! Here is Christmas - my kids loved their wii, and I am still getting lots of housework out of them in exchange for play time!

Brian is playing basketball this winter. He's improved so much since last year. Bakers can be coordinated afterall!

And here we are in Boise. Why didn't we get more pictures of all of us together? Oh well, I can still remember how much fun we had. Love you all!

Happy Valentine's Day

 

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to show off these beautiful flowers that Mark sent me today. He spoils me rotten, I'm so lucky to have him!

Love,
Aubrey

Mark's cousin says that Daisy and Joy are litter mates. They definitely act like it. Joy really likes to share her food with Daisy. It's kind of gross, but it's so cute that I sometimes turn a blind eye. Enjoy!

Dear Family,

I'm really enjoying the new camera Mark got me for Christmas. Here are some recent pictures. The first one shows Daisy wearing an old onesie. We're not usually the kind of people to dress our pet, but after she was spayed she was licking her incision, so we put the onesie on her to protect it. She looks pretty cute though, so I can see why some people like to dress their pets.

Our little Joy and Daisy are like two peas in a pod. They play like little puppies together, it's so sweet. Joy's latest favorite thing is to get inside Daisy's crate. She loves it in there. She is such a sweetie. She was a little fussy for a couple weeks while she got some big molars and then got a cold, but she's back to her happy self now.

We're all trying to get healthy after several illnesses have plagued our house the last couple of months. I think my immune system has gone on holiday and I really hope it returns soon. Spring seems to be coming, so hopefully that will help. Boise broke the record high temperature yesterday, it got to 61 degrees and it was awesome! It's going to be in the mid 50's for the next couple days, so that will be nice.

We're all getting excited for BethAnne's birthday in a couple weeks. She will be turning 8-years-old and she will be baptized on March 5th, at 4pm. at the Stake Center on Ustick (the white building between Eagle and Cloverdale). We have been talking about baptism in family home evening for the last few weeks and I think it will be really special. We're planning on hosting dinner and dessert at our house after the baptism and everyone is welcome!

I hope you are all doing well. We love you guys!
Love,
Aubrey
