Field trip

The 4th graders went on an awesome field trip in Salt Lake.  It started with the Natural History museum, then to the Pioneer Museum, and ended at the State Capitol.  Even though I went two years ago with Luke, I learned so much.  Abigail and I especially enjoyed the pioneer museum.

 Abi and her best friend, Kate, were the only two in our group, it was so fun.  These two girls are the sweetest!



 Abi's favorite part of the Capitol was the dome with the paintings inside.

First of February


Ike likes to be read to after lunch.  Usually it puts him to sleep, and then I carry him to his bed. Sometimes, it puts me to sleep too.   But on this day, I just held him the whole time, it won't be long                                             before he's too old for this,  and I am cherishing it.

 my kids have loved having a new baby cousin. If they're not holding him, they're standing extremely close to the person who is holding him. My kids are baby crazy, and it's been a while since we've had a little baby around.

 my banister started out that terrible honey oak color. I stained it a really dark color, and I ended up hating it.  Now,  a year later, I decided to re-stain it.  Carly helped for a minute with the sanding.  It ended up being terrible to sand all the spindels, so I changed my mind during the process to painting it white.  It lightened up my foyer so much.

 We dog sat Lola for Larry and Sharla.  Ike loves the dog so much.  He asked if we could walk him to his friend's house to show Ben the dog. 

 Isaac and I are the popcorn ticket people every other Wednesday at the elementary.  When Carly's class goes to the lunch room, Isaac would go eat with her.  Then the Carly and Hailey would help me hand out tickets after their lunch.
Isaac wasn't much of a helper, and I usually had to send Carly to go look for him.  His favorite place to go was the library and the teacher's lounge.

Family Jazz game

Eli works for Larry H. Miller company, so he hooks us up with his tickets when he's not going.  We took the kids, and they loved it.  Isaac got a little crazy towards the end, but a nice lady gave him licorice and more popcorn to keep him entertained.

Environmental Center


I was able to go to the Environmental Center with Luke for a field trip.  We went snow shoeing, ate lunch, and then did some cross country skiing.  It was so fun to hang out with Luke and his friends.  We had a great group and had a good time together.

 Luke played Helios, the god of the sun, in a classroom play. 
 He made his own props and did a great job.

 Hailey lost another tooth.

 Ben turned 35! We went to the Jazz game with his parents to celebrate.

Umbrella fort!
