Britt's Blog - A Picture a Day

February 28

Today my dad performed his last surgery.   About this surgery, my mom wrote, "Today was Doctor Heiner's last day of surgery.  Twenty-nine years of caring for the bones and joints of thousands of patients.  Twenty-nine years of caring for the hearts and souls of people who hurt.  In 8 weeks he will turn his skills to the care and keeping of the missionaries in the Asia Area.  He'll take good care of God's Army."

I would add, twenty-nine years of teaching his children, by example, to be grateful for every opportunity to work hard, to provide for your family and to serve others.  

I could not be more proud.  I love you Dad.

They're playing Lamanites and Nephites downstairs today.  Is that keeping the Sabbath day holy?

I wanted to take a picture of my very favorite Christmas present this year.  My mom painted a portrait of Macey.  She paints each of her grandkids when they're about four.  Isn't this precious?

We added Macey's picture to our collection.  I love it.  If there was a fire in our house, I'd have a hard time deciding if I'd grab these paintings or my kids first.

Tonight was our ward talent show.  The Young Men did a synchronized swimming rountine.  It was hilarious!

Mitch has mastered the sippy cup!  

He couldn't seem to do it when we filled the sippy cup with formula, but when we put punch in it, he did just fine.  :)

Our poor dog, Chulo, had two malignant tumors removed from his legs today.  He's home and resting now.  We know that he's living on borrowed time, but we're grateful for everyday.  

Below is a picture of all the medicine he's on right now.  The small picture is of one of his tumors.  If you dare, click on it to see a larger image.  But be warned, it's gross.

Shaylin has made it to the end of the Accelerated Reader Prize Board.  She made it all the way to "Win a Day at the Rec Center".  They get to spend a whole school day swimming at the Rec Center.  She's pretty excited.

Happy President's day.  It was especially happy for us because we didn't have school.  We played with friends, ran errands and ate at McDonald's.  

And if you're keeping track, yes Skyler does try and wear that outfit every single day.

Happy birthday Jason!  

He got a Kindle and lots of homemade artwork from the kids, including this tie - which we made him wear to church.

We went to Gnomeo and Juliet this afternoon.  It was cute.  

Jason and Mitchell had a good nap.
