Zoo & Conservatory with Aunt Larissa
Shecklet #1 took his camera and went with his Aunt Larissa to Como Zoo & Conservatory today. He took pictures of the flowers and they walked around the zoo to look at the animals.

Father/Daughter Dance 2022
The Handmaidens of the Lord group that Shecklet #3 is part of planned and hosted a father/daughter dance for the 3-12th grade young ladies and their dads/father figures. Shecklets #3 & #4 accompanied their dad to the event. Shecklet #3 also invited a friend of hers from school to bring her dad too, which she did.
Shecklet #1 was asked to be the DJ for the event and was definitely in his element. He did a great job keeping the music going – because you can’t have a dance without music!
HBD #14 to Shecklet #2
Shecklet #2 celebrated his birthday mid-week this year. His dinner request was homemade mac-n-cheese and key lime pie for dessert (which was not homemade.)
He received some of his favorite snacks, (including some from one of his science teacher & her daughter,) a new pillow, and a book with the photos and blog content his Aunt Bri wrote after his trip to Lake Tahoe last summer. (I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.)
To top things off, his godmother stopped by to greet him and deliver a gift.
I might repost this blog post each year, while adding to the photo collage of the many faces of this kid. It’s just too much fun to not share again!
To continue his celebration, he hung out with a few of his friends on the 26th. They had pizza, played video games, ping pong, and Kids Against Maturity (a gift from one of his buddies.) 14 seems to be off to a lively start for him!
Final ski day of 2022 ⛷
Not much snow left, but they are going to give Trollhaugen one last try for the season.
Shecklet #2 did the waterskipping competition again this year. He went all out and donned his party shirt for the occasion.
You can also watch his entire run:
On the slopes again ⛷
Another day of skiing for some of the Shecklets and their dad. Shecklet #3 has given skiing a try and likes it. Shecklet #2 brought his friend along for the day. It sounds like warmer temps are on the way, so it might be their last day out of the season.
The hairnets are compliments of FMSC. We picked meals with our Saints Yes! kids from church this morning.
Repairman #1
Once again, my washer has been misbehaving. This time, Jake determined the drain pump was malfunctioning. Thanks to YouTube and Shecklet #1 leading the charge, we figured out how to replace it.
Here’s Shecklet #1 removing the spring on the front of the washer boot. There was a lot to take apart in order to get to the pump!
Old pump is out!
I didn’t take any more pictures. If I had, you would have seen a very frustrated mom trying to put the two springs back on the washer boot. Not an easy task – even with two teenage boys helping! But we persevered and were able to get everything put back together – without extra pieces!
HBD #9 to #4! 🎉
Our Shecklet #4 had her final single-digit birthday today! She requested mini hamburgers on Hawaiian rolls. We had a few family members over to celebrate with us on the 19th and then she skied on her actual birthday. Year #9 seems to be off to a great start!
Friends 💗
We got to celebrate my godson’s birthday this afternoon. I didn’t get a picture with him this time, but I DID get one with his mom!
Snow and friends ❄️
Two separate days with friends (who are brothers.) I love that they enjoy being active outside in the winter! ❄️❄️❄️
