The Jason and Shelly Turpin Family: Our Week

Playing Telestrations and cuddling with her brother and a cat – about as good as life gets.

Monday I took down all of our snow flakes. I’m hoping the seasons notice and decide to warm up!

Becca wanted Pho, authentic Pho. So she looked it up and we drove across town to find a place. It was a teeny restaurant, but she loved it!

Monday morning Joy heard Jason and I talking about his upcoming birthday. When she got to school, she told teacher, “Today is Daddy’s birthday!” So teacher helped her make Daddy a painting. And since Joy was convinced it was indeed Daddy’s birthday, Becca picked up some cupcakes we had with FHE! Happy early birthday Jason!

OK, this was a little scary! I guess Joy wanted pancakes in the middle of the night. She got up and tried to make some. Fortunately, she doesn’t know how to turn on the stove, or this could have been bad! She’s determined, that’s for sure!

Tuesday Indian was being craved. So we found an good Indian buffet. Crazy girl is teaching me all about this city!

Becca can’t sit still or stay in the house too long. So as soon as Liz was home, it was off to Sonic!

That night Jason and I went to Parent Teacher Conference for Joy and Bella. I am grateful for how much their teacher does for them! She loves them. What a relief that is when sending off basically non verbal children!

Wednesday I was able to sub at VIPS. How I love doing that! Afterwards I ran over to watch Sammi’s Choir competition. They did so well! They got a Distinguished! Yea EHS!! They sang two songs and had a sightreading portion. These videos are from her practice concert the week before.

My sweet, crazy boy!

While I was gone, Jason and Becca went out to Blaze Pizza. She LOVED their GF pizza! Jason loved his with tons of cheese and artichoke hearts!

It was a beautiful day, so we enjoyed it! Jessi loves to read in the fort. Joy loves to swing! Bella and Lizzy love to jump!

We stopped and picked up some Graeter’s Blackberry and Chocolate Chunk ice cream. It was well received! And I found Bec some gluten free GS cookies – one happy girl!

Thursday I was supposed to sub again, but my boy screamed all night. So instead we went to the doctor. Always scary when he gets inconsolable, as that is a sign of possible shunt failure. Doctor and I decided to just continue to monitor him. He was fine the next day, so something was up, but it wasn’t his shunt!

Becca and I figured this was as good a day as any to finally walk the bridge. Bec has been wanting to do it since we moved here. We brought the stroller, made Bro comfortable, and walked. Two miles round trip. It was really nice. The bridge is beautiful. The day was lovely. We had a great time!

Friday, therapy day. Grateful for their good therapists!

I just love this! When he sleeps, he puts his binky on his finger and he knows where it is all night!

Jessi and Joy baking! Jessi stayed home with the kids so I could go with Jason and Lizzy to the temple. It was her first time doing Baptisms for the Dead. It was awesome!

That afternoon/evening the area had a six stake Seminary Conference for those 14 and up, so Jessi and Sammi got to go. They had a great time!

Meanwhile, as it was Pi Day (3/14/15), we went and had pizza pie! A whole pizza pie for $3.14, custom made. There was a bit of a wait, but it was fun and so yummy! And surprisingly, there weren’t many leftovers!
