March 3rd?? Really? Who said February could go by in a blur and that March could make such a grand appearance? Well. As for birthdays this month we have my wonderful mother's birthday which she has already started celebrating, even though it's not until March 7th. We also are celebrating Aunt Connie's birthday on the 9th. I get to say we because she is still staying with Grandpa and so I get to see her on her birthday....unless she goes home before then, hopefully not!

Speaking of Aunt Connie and my mother, you should all know what a fabulous job they are doing taking care of grandpa. Just this week we all ventured off to Costco together. We were quite the bunch. Our group included: Grandpa, Connie, Mama Finn, myself, Connor, Dylan and Sam....we caused more traffic jams in Costco than a roll-over on I-15 during rush hour. {clever, I know} Seriously though, it was so fun to get out and about with my kids, and grandpa!

Connie and my mom have also been to TJ Maxx, Tai Pan, Harmons, and a few other places with grandpa and each trip has been fun, and exhausting for everyone involved. You should all know that Grandpa is doing well. He is enjoying having company to keep him busy, cook for him, and keep him entertained. I know my mom has loved spending time with him all while getting to enjoy time with her sister!

Today the "three amigos" headed out to Wal-mart to get flowers and then drove up to Rockville to visit Nell's grave. They were going to get an early start {like 9:30 am} but Grandpa has his schedule and morning routine so they didn't get out of town until almost 12:00...just in time to stop at Village Inn for lunch. {Grandpa LOVES to eat at Village Inn....not just for the good food but for the "good view" as well....just ask my mom and Connie!}

Sister Crystal Poole will be arriving in Salt Lake on March 23....not sure of the time but I bet if you called Cindy or check out Crystal's blog you could find out the exact time. I know everyone is welcome to meet her at the airport!!! We can't wait to see her!

BREAKING NEWS: Lindsey is finding out what she is having right now....I think!!! I will update when I get the details!

Anyway, happy spring...even if you are sitting in freezing temperatures with snow on the ground!

love
Tara

and for your viewing pleasure...the latest trip to Overton!This last picture is Grandpa with a group of volunteers who were at St. Thomas cleaning/restoring the area. Pretty cool eh? They got talking to Grandpa while visiting the museum and learned that he had grown up in St. Thomas!
