March Odds and Ends 2

 The third week of the month Laura was out of town so Camille was in charge of the flower studio.  I had told her I was happy to come help if she needed anything.  I ended up putting in more hours than I have in one week in quite a while.  I enjoyed helping Camille take care of everything.  We had a pre-bridal, a wedding, sympathy flowers, birthday flowers, many dance flowers and a bunch of other misc bouquets go out :)  Here are a few of my favorites that I made...



The corsage/boutonniere duo on the left was a special effort because the girl asked for orchids instead of roses.  Since many of my orchids were in bloom I offered to use some...(we usually don't accommodate a request for orchids)  She had a cream dress and wanted all purple/pink accents to go with the orchids she chose from the 8 pictures I sent her.  And then the pic on the right is one that I made that a customer sent to Laura and then our social media lady used on Instagram.

While Abby was here for spring break we went to her friend's family's rock shop here in town and I chose several fun stones to go in a terrarium for which I had been collecting succulents recently.



For a few years now my workout lady friends have been sending memes to each other of women doing bungee workouts.  I think the exchange of the memes was always a little bit on the jesting side because it looks kind of comical, but when a bungee workout place came to our valley earlier this year we got excited and wanted to give it a try.
These pics were of the second time some of us had gone and we are still missing one of our members but we are hoping to get everyone there very soon!  Since our last gym closed almost 2 years ago and we haven't been able to find a good replacement for everyone, we are fractured and don't get together consistently like we used to.  It is sad and we miss each other so the plan is to do the bungee thing together once a month!  It was super fun and honestly, a much harder workout than I had anticipated!


Matt on Stage Again

 Matt and some of his buddies brought the boys band 'The Other Direction' back together that they had created last year for the talent show at school.

Again, I didn't get great pictures since I was far back in the audience but they added a lot more choreography this time and also had a ton of fun with it!















(stole this one from an instagram reel)



Also, he and Maggie Liddle chose to do a contemporary scene for theater competition.  They made it to state and then at state, got 4th out of 47.  They struggled keeping it under the 6 minute limit since their scene required a lot of emotional pauses :)  Lynch had all the kids that competed perform at the school one evening between region and state.  It was fun to see it since I had heard it being practiced in our basement many times...(there was a fair amount of yelling since it is a scene between a husband and wife who are talking about getting a divorce).











The Rocket Garden, The Golden Spike and The Spiral Jetty

 In early March the two oldest kids plus Andy had their spring break.

Nothing big was planned and Josh had forgotten to ask for work off so they just did a few small excursions to fill up their week.

One evening Andy took Abby and Matt (Josh was working) on a jaunt to the Spiral Jetty.  On the way they stopped at the Rocket Garden and the Golden Spike.










    






Abby and Matt enjoyed a photo shoot at the jetty at sunset.
