We spent Valentines Weekend serving others this year and it was a great boost for us all Everyone had the chance to do something for others over the weekend and the gratitude and love around us was so strong it lifted our hearts a lot. Especially with what has happened over the last few months to us all.
Here we got all of the flooring laid at my cousin Ben's house. This was one of the last major projects needed so they could move in. It was a lot of fun to work with my dad, uncle and cousin. While our dad's would cut the two of us girls would lay and snap in the boards.

(Below) Brendon and I helped to measure, cut and sort planking for a Ship-lack style ceiling in the living room/ kitchen/ dinning room. While daddy helped to hang it with Grandpa and Ben. Everett played near by in the walker or play pen or slept in the car seat
Baby Andy (Ben and Desi's newborn) Stopped by for a bit and photo bombed Everett sleeping. These two are almost 9 months apart in age.
Our final big project for Valentines Weekend was to help out with the water distribution our stake did for those in the flint ward and their Neighbors. We were takes with a neighborhood of inactive members and then told to distribute water to the houses nearby and the spirit prompted us.
Mom watched the boys for Nathan and I to go and we took my sister with us. My dad and Youngest brother met us there. It was a lot of fun seeing old friends and some of the youth in the stake up so early to serve others, even if they wanted to be in bed still. Kat and Matthew were not happy they had to be up early but by the end of the morning they had smiles on their faces and were laughing with Nathan, my dad and I.
Oh one last exciting part was Everett decided to start standing up all on his own with NO help or climbing on things! All this while holding big brothers shoe as you can see below!
