Working Life

Check out the cute new bag boy at Ridley's Grocery Store (technically he's called a courtesy clerk)!  

I couldn't be prouder of this hard working young man.  Loyd went out on his own to make a resume, track down job leads, interview for jobs, and finally scored himself a sweet, sweet position at Ridley's Family Market.  The grocery store is the one his Grandpa and Grandma Phillips help build in the late '80s, but later sold to another owner.  

Grandpa Phillips first entered the workforce as a bag boy at a local grocery store and I know he is smiling from Heaven that his grandson is too.  I know Loyd will work hard and be a credit to the family.  Go Loyd!


With Loyd moving on to more formal work, the big boys decided Maeve needed to learn how to mow lawns to help Xavier with his budding lawn mowing business (Okay, it's just his grandparents and one of Grandma P's friends, but still!).  
Xavier coached Maeve on her first ever attempt to mow the lawn.  I think she did pretty well and worked hard, but she might need one more summer before she has the muscle to control the lawn mowing beast.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
