Green Anyone!

St. Patricks Day.......I've always loved it! Part of the draw has to go to my Mothers Parents - Earl Peay and Myrl Wilson Peay. Will is named after these two wonderful people. Will for Wilson and Peayton for Peay. They served a mission in Ireland - My Grandfather built the first LDS church in Ireland.

Green is my favorite color - I love it! It is the color of life. I love light green - dark green - even lime green!

Ali our second grader had her country report due today. March 17th - St. Patrick's day, perfect don't you think. I loved going to her class to help her. All the kids looked like a sea of green. I saw green socks, pants, shirts, jackets, and hair bows. Ali did a wonderful job on her report - she even showed the kids a dvd of Irish dancing - and then had the kids try it. The kids found the Leprechaun and got a treat out of the pot of gold. Way to go Ali.

Later that day we had our green meal. To make the meal even better - Grandma Stubbs came. We had an Irish stew, a soda bread, green grapes, lime drink, green tossed salad, honeydew melon, and we topped it off with lime sherbet. I hope that we don't end up peeing green! Fun day for everyone. At BYU preschool Will felt it necessary to show his green Incredible Hulk undies....... can the day get better than that.

My Sweet Will

I love Will so much! He is one cute boy, who loves to have some occasional alone time - in his little play world. I love to just listen to his little chatter, and to watch his small hands. What a wonderful world to be five in.

Nothing sweeter than sleeping children!

I've been on a kick lately - I LOVE having Will fall asleep in my arms - nothing better! He has such cute chubby toes, long eyelashes, light freckles on his nose, the cutest little fanny, and his little CTR ring melts me. The primary gave all the kids CTR rings at the first of the year and Will wears his night and day. He wears his ring on this thumb - the only finger that it fits on. His thumb is greenish grey, but if it helps us to choose the right - it's all good.

Ali, she loves stuffed animals, I think the reason is because I hate them. Every night she has to sleep with two or three. She loves big beary as she calls him. Big Beary is "Big" she sleeps right in his arms until she slides down. Still - she is darn cute asleep.

Brooke has slept with teddy-gram for years! She Loves that bear! It was tragic when she left him under the bed at Disney land - oh my the trauma. The was one overnight package that we were glad to get.

All in all - nothing better than sleeping children!

Priesthood Advancment!

Sunday the 8th of March was a good day for the Jenkins family. Grant Earl Jenkins had the opportunity to become a Deacon in the LDS church. Luke McKay Jenkins got to advance on the the office of a Teacher. I'm proud of my boys! They are not only cute, but want to do what is right.

I'm grateful for a worthy husband who could help them pass this mile stone........and anytime is a good excuse to have extra good food (Cafe Rio Salads) and company. Way to go Boys!

Oh to be a kid!

Girls are smarter than boys!!!!

The votes are in and we have a winner! Girls really are smarter than boys. You might wonder what pushed the girls to the top -- well I'll tell you. When boys get together and plan a father son outing - what do they do........Go on a Klondike camping trip in the snow! Girls we have a tea party, go out to eat, watch a movie, or have a party -----nothing to do with sleeping in the snow. Yes, we are the smarter sex. All the older boys - Alan, Luke, and Grant went off into the snowy white, while Brooke, Ali, Will (the only smart boy) and I stayed home and partied until we could party no more. Pillow fights, jumping on the bed, movies, and yes sleeping in our warm, soft beds.
