Joshua Turns 12...

...and we had a family birthday party!!!  Lochheads and Largents and Swansons gathered to eat and watch basketball and watch Josh blow out candles.  It was a great time.  Josh loves having a #marchMadness birthday! The last picture is his last official picture as an 11-yr old...

 

Birthday Boyzzzz

It's that time of year again, when I look through the BlogBook to text the Van Sickle birthday boy the cutest pictures of these birthday boys that I can find.  Aren't these hilarious?!?  They're so little!!! Happy birthday, to our KaiGuy!!!

The Green is Coming!!!

See it?  Look closely...

...Papa made us all name strips with his labeling machine.  Love this!
 

We Brought Home a Trailer!!!!

And it's in Boise!!! So from the farm party, we took off for Boise on Sunday morning, on our way to get the trailer. It was a long--BEAUTIFUL--drive, and the man who sold it to us was so helpful. We left there in the early evening, hoping to get to Pendleton before we stopped for the inaugural night in the trailer.  We did make it there...in the dark, around 9PM...in SNOW.  First back-in attempt by our family was between two banks of snow that had been plowed out of our spot.  I was worried about propane running out all night--hello, HEATER!--so I'd wake every time i got a little cold and would fall asleep as soon as I heard the heater turning on.  We skipped school on Monday to bring it home the rest of the way, and found a good spot in our driveway to place it.  Kind of blocks the view from the kitchen window, but I'm just thinking of all the sweet sunsets we'll see when we use it.  Good work, Team Lochhead!

March Birthdays at the Farm

It was time to celebrate JAM again this year!  We all went down to the farm for some birthday party AND March Madness fun.  March is the best month to be a Moser/Morrow/Lochhead!!! 

Josh=12 Abby=18 Millie=10    An even year!

 

Josh's Beginning Band Concert--and Pregame Solo!

 

Five minutes before we leave: "Mom, we have to be there early because I'm doing a solo before the concert starts." Nice to know.  G'ma and Papa just made it in to hear him.

Wicked

We had a great Sunday afternoon seeing WICKED! A Christmas present redeemed in March.  The show was excellent.  It's the first time we'd seen it and we loved the music and the storyline, and of course the sets were amazing.  We still want to know how they made Elphaba's skin SO GREEN. We ate bagels at The Ladder beforehand...a perfect precursor.  

Random corners of our life...

Word.

I think the green lines are supposed to illustrate MY win...

Josh had a Jazz concert at MSHS with both high school bands and Northwood. It was amazing!

We are giving the couches to the church's youth room!  Micah takes one last lounge...and Jeff is the local legend...on a segment of road that has an interesting name...

Finally, the boys got haircuts with DAD this time...I was a little shocked at the BUZZ CUT that Micah was given.  Wow!  I told Jeff I could've done that for free! Ha, ha.

Janie is now FIFTEEN.

 Pizza party on the second floor of Market Street Pizza!  GG was quite bothered with the fact that she couldn't go...poor thing! We had a great time catching up with all of the Showalters and their friends.  And Janie got that disco ball and decorated with dollar store cake decorations. Birthday Boy and dinosaur plates...😂

...and these, are the Days of our Lives...

Delight in orchids blooming (1st time in two years!) and disco balls hanging in our kitchen.  Not so much delight with Dad watching Grace's show (see video) and I'm not sure if Nessa is delighted with the never-ending spin on the red bean bag (see next video). With her new haircut, she IS delighted to sleep EVEN closer to me on the couch, and I am thrilled that my husband is cleaning the windows as he takes down the Christmas lights. Lots of delight to be found...
