APRIL 2024

4.28.24

Steph and Jerel Bullock remain in the Netherlands.  A Dutch retreat!  My family of origin gathers with Cathleen in town. My dream of a mini-staircase for our new ‘Red Rock’ room comes true.  All of the other photos are from our fantastic Howell Girl’s weekend…puzzles, food, chillin’, games, nails, hair tinsel, escape room, off-broadway play, Air B’n’B, 

I also installed the Red Rock room closet organizer and craft room cabinets.

We love you forever! ❤️ Momma C & Dad Lane (G&G Howell)

Another good week, grateful to be me!  What a life.  Filled with cherished family, friends and other fabulous blessings. We had dinner at Tom & Shalaun’s in Centerville, then at Bullock’s in South Jordan, had lunch during a walk-thru at Summit Vista (a possible end of days location for us), and dinner with new neighborhood friends, the Piranios.  I also got back to the pickleball court and attempting a temple session each week.

Ret was in her school production of The Adams Family.  I made progress towards getting simple cabinetry in my craft room.  I chilled with my favorite younger brother at the funeral of my cousins son.  I wandered around Claire’s neighborhood while Lane sat with Tanner (KC and X were checking out their new car in downtown SLC!)  We hosted the wonderful Esplin family for FHE - to include ‘Don’t Eat Pete’ and M&M ice cream sandwiches.  Spencer, Sadie, Carter (10), Milo (7), Jane (3) and Jack (1) are standouts in our ward. Milo is in my primary class.  I want to adopt them all!

What are you all doing to scatter smiles and sunshine?

We love you forever! ❤️ Momma C & Dad Lane (G&G Howell)

4.14.24

Recently we stalked 3 of you traveling out of state.  We located the Hansen family in Florida. We found Cam & Kim Howell in Virginia.  Steph & Jer Bullock skipped the country altogether and emerged in Netherlands.  

So, this is what our new normal is:
Giving my mother a lesson on running her new vacuum.  Cleaning our ‘crib’ and doing yard work.   Attending Sabrina Howell’s baptism weekend ๐Ÿ˜‰! A lunch with my mom & 2 sisters. Lane cooks from time to time and when he does he prepares extra. Such a lovely week…3 days of spring weather! 


There’s no need to drive me crazy I’m close enough to walk. 

Much love ❤️

PS  I’ve started taking an Inklings institute class.  Have any of you heard of it?  Taught by Emily Freeman (online).

Great week of fantastic events!
General Conference w 4 pooches ~ bagels by Amanda ~ I love hugs by Josh ~ grandparent day w Savannah Scott ~ Girls movie night w Amanda & Abby Russell ~ yellow daffodils slay.

An effective way to motivate yourself to exercise.  You go running for 30 minutes everyday and if you miss it, those 30 minutes are added to the next day. It works really well. Tomorrow I’m going running for 2 weeks.๐Ÿ˜† 

We love you forever!❤️
