Not A Match & small family update

So the last week of school was spirit week and I took pictures of the crazy hair and this was almost as equally funny....miss matching clothes was the theme and I'd say my two angels got it right. It's only 102 degrees outside guess you still need a sweater!???!

(Gotta love the multi-colored skirt Kenna is sporting which is really a shawl that my sister gave her a few years ago and McKenna wore it every day for months!! ugh I can't wait to pass it down to Adia and Kyah as I'm sure they'll love it as much as Kenna! paybacks baby hee hee)

I know I've been a total slacker on the blogging but I collected a ton of pictures today for a special blog post about my sweet baby girl who turned 11 on May 21st which I hope to compile and post in the next couple of days. We went to a Taylor Swift concert the night of her birthday and it was awesome! :o)

We are still alive and kicking. Will got his cast off and has a brace now and is doing physical therapy. He still has no movement in his wrist & thumb; he still has a lot of swelling and it still is painful especially after the pt . He has scout camp this week but I'm not sure that with one hand he'll be a whole lot of help but he's in Young Mens and needs to go to provide leadership & supervision. Kids are out of school now for summer. I wish I had summer off but I don't. :o( Otherwise all is well here at the Wright home.

Crazy Hair Day

So today was crazy hair day at school. McKenna did her own hair and I have to admit it looks pretty crazy! Good job sissy!!!

Calvin on the other hand argued with his Daddy that he should have puffy hair when his Dad suggested a mohawk. It looks like puffy won out. :o)

X-Ray pictures of Will's Metal

This is Will's wrist....pictures of the x-ray pictures.....look at all of that metal!!!

The doctor says he will more than likely have at least one more surgery. The original pictures of the break were crazy....but we have to order those.

My 11th Mother's Day

Ok I know McKenna is not 11 years old yet but she will be on the 21st. Eleven years ago I was big fat and pregnant her Daddy got me a necklace and made me a card to make for a wonderful first Mother's Day. Eleven years later I had a fantastic, super duper, best ever Mother's Day yet!!! I was really spoiled this year by McKenna, Calvin and Will! I woke up to a dozen roses and a nice card from Will and the kids....along with that Calvin had several items for me as well....he painted me a picture with q-tips that is very pretty, he made me a really cute hand prints card with a cute hand poem and he also made me the cutest card ever at school. I will have to write what it says in it tomorrow but it cracked me up and had lots of cute pictures he colored of he and I.

We then hurried off to church where we heard 6 wonderful men give sweet talks about their Mother & Wife in between those the primary children sang a Mother's Day song that was very sweet and then they were given a very pretty paper flower each to give to their Mom's as they returned to their seats (I got two a red & a yellow one but ended up giving one away to a friend in the ward whose children are grown Calvin wasn't very happy about that!), then for 3rd hour all of the women 18 and older got their classes covered by the men so they could go and enjoy a special Relief Society where we were given chocolate candy bars and listened to 3 great women speakers. It was awesome!

We came home, I tried calling my Mom but she was at church, Will bbq'd us a hamburger, we took a nap and then polished our nails. McKenna needed to finish her cards for me so she hurried after lunch and then gave me 3 handmade cards, a bookmark she made and then a jewelry heart box that she made herself while on a field trip a couple of weeks ago. (she hid it well and never slipped a word about it...they didn't get to use any tools just their hands to mold it etc) Calvin came in while we were polishing nails and did a good job polishing my finger nails as another gift for Mother's Day. :o) Finally got a hold of my Mom and talked to her for a little bit she liked the perfume and semi homemade card I sent...the cards are what matter the most to my Mom so they have to be good. Later for dinner Will had planned a special dinner for us at a friends house and the husbands did all of the cooking! We had Hawaiian haystacks with all of the fixings and homemade sauce which was so yummy! Topped it off with a dessert that I made but was easy brownie smores.

See what I mean....the best Mother's Day thus far in my Mothering career. :o) It is such an honor and privilege to be Calvin & McKenna's Momma and Will's wife!!! Thank you Thank you!

Happy 79th Birthday Grandma Dear

Glenna Rose Crandell Hathcock Devine

One of my absolute most favorite ladies is turning 79 years young today and I just wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday! My Grandma Glenna has been such an inspiration to me in my life and such a wonderful lady. I think every single one of her 50+ grandkids feels like they are her favorite...impressive! She has 10 living children and 3 that passed away. She unfortunately has been widowed 3 times...the first was my Grandpa Leslie who is the man of her dreams who is the Father of all 13 children who was tragically killed in a semi-truck accident 3 weeks before I was born; then she re-married a neat man who I slightly recall but he had a severe stroke and later died after only 5 years of marriage to Grandma; later she married Charlie Bob the only Grandpa that I ever really knew and was married to him for 27 years until he recently passed away at age 82.



Grandma Glenna has so many wonderful talents and abilities including:

1. Cooking/Baking wow is all I can say she is such a great cook & baker!

2. Sewing she is excellent and has made many of her granddaughter's wedding dresses including mine

3. Singing she has an excellent alto voice

4. Whistling funny enough my Granny can whistle like a bird and makes a variety of different sounds whistling we all love it

5. Dancing watch out because she can dance with the best of them and loves honky tonk music

6. Athletic she has always been very athletic and I think that is why she has remained so healthy for all of these years she is hard working physically and very strong

7. Beautiful inside and out! (a little fact about her is that in 40's my Grandma Glenna Rose Crandell at that time OK OK I am so sorry she was NOT Miss New Mexico I was mistaken she was a beauty queen for a high school pageant and all of these years I thought that picture was her being Miss New Mexico....she could have been in my opinion and is still beautiful!

8. Loves everyone...she seriously loves everyone and will hug and kiss any person she meets she can't walk past a baby without stopping either, she is just a sweet sweet lady.

And so many more!



I admire and love my Grandma more than she will ever know! She has always been there for me, always made me feel important and has always loved me. I cherish every moment with her whether it's watching Jeopardy & Wheel-a-fortune her two fav's or baking her famous holiday candies she is a joy to be around!



I love you Grandma & hope you have a fantastic year!!!
