February and early March activities

Eliza at 2 months:

Weight: 10 lbs (50%)

Height: 23.4 inches (75%)

She is getting so big. Getting more on a schedule and starting to smile and make sweet baby noises and cooing. Sisters and Brothers love holding her! She is our"real live" little baby doll! they all think she looks like this doll and like to push her in the Bitty baby stroller.

Eliza's room got finished painting. We think it turned out super cute with the pink Chevron window seat.

Caden finished up his basketball season. He loved it and worked really hard on improving his skills this year. Daddy Jeff was the assistant coach and Jeff Pederson the head. Great season boys- fun to watch. Caden got a double shot for Christmas and started out only making a few points- a few months later and after playing a lot- his record its 104 and constantly trying to beat it and catch his dad's score of 154!

Getting his medal! good job Caden buddy

We also got to go to a Jazz game with Grandfather in the box!

We took a quick trip to St. george with our family
Got to enjoy the outdoors did a little hiking and Jeff some biking.

Jackson cousins at Kolbyn's baptism- what a special day!

Eliza's first flight. Jeff, Eliza and I got to take a quick weekend to LA.- our old stoping grounds! We stayed by Santa Monica pier. We did a little surfing, playing on the beach, reading, eating and shopping on 3rd street promenade. It was such a fun and relaxing get away.

Wonderful Grandma B

Jeff's sweet Grandma Mary Lynn Burningham passed away on Valentines Day! Rulon came and picked her up for a late night date!

She was such a wonderful Lady. Everyone she came in contact with she made them feel special and like they were apart of her family. She had such an amazing positive attitude about life. She was always full of energy and always supported her children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. We will miss her helping hands, smiling face and fun spirit at Lake Powell. We will miss her yummy dinners, "ringing of the Bell" at sporting events, family activities and holidays. Caden will miss his "reading lessons"as he would call them. Jocelyn will miss her help and support with violin. Ellie will miss her coming to her school performances. We will all miss her Bear hugs-especially James. Eliza is so glad she got to meet and snuggle with this wonderful lady before she returned to her Heavenly Father.

Jeff was supper close and had a special relationship with his grandparents. After Jeff and I got engaged one of the first places we went is to Mary Lynn's and Rulon's home to tell them the news! She was such a great example to all of us. I hope I can be a little more like her when I grow up! You will forever be in our hearts! We love you Grandma B/ Grandma-ma, and will miss you tons.

Her violin (which Jocelyn was lucky enough to get)

The Bell

the Best Kindergarten teacher ever

Her funeral was amazing and so touching! Her music chooses were perfect too- they fit her perfectly. The great grandkids sang a new song called "Gethsemane" and did such a good job. I am sure she was very proud!
