Alice in Wonderland
On Monday we got to go to the Scera and watch Alice in Wonderland. It was a great play: we all loved it.
Day: February 22, 2017
Millie
Millie has been falling asleep every afternoon and just being totally tired out. I hope it’s a growth spurt but it seems like she’s sick, maybe still trying to get over the flu? anyway, she’s had me worried and she’s been a grouchy little lady but hopefully it’s nothing:
BYU basketball
We got to go to a BYU basketball game with Than and Erica!
We watch all of the games at home but it was fun to be there and see them up close and personal. It was a pretty sad season after all of our hopefulness and expectations but we love the Cougars!
February! SLOW DOWN
OK Father Time – Please Slow Down! The weeks, months, and years seem to be speeding by uncontrollably. I would like to stop and enjoy the ride.

another snow camp out:
Walking Rose to school
And Shannon likes spicy chips so we all should
Acting out Moana
The Race Track has been a big hit
Rose can draw Sofia the First
Still nothing better than playing with a big box
Aunt Karen turned 60:
look how big TIAGO is
No wonder I can’t keep a high score
Ray had a Bday Party
Ray had a Ninja Turtle theme:
The Falabellas stopped by before the party!
And then cousins: Wrights and Matt’s younger kids, and the Hancocks came over for a party!
We had fun dressing up and dancing. Then We gave everyone Nunchucks and Ben taught them how to use them with some nunchuck training. After the training they got to find out who their Ninja Turtle Master was and do all of their new skills.
We had cake and ice cream and opened gifts and watched the Ninja Turtles movie.
Valentines Day
The night before Valentines Day the kids all made their boxes. Cali got help from Grandma, Packer got help from me, and Ben helped Benji:
We had a fun red dinner and played Pez Guess Who, then Ben and I snuck out and went to the movie at 8:30! I LOVE these people!
Ray had a Bday!
Monday February 13th!! Ray turned 5! Crazy Right? Ray is pretty chill. He likes to do whatever his older siblings are doing. He loves when Rose plays with him. He is already learning to read with the Upstart Preschool program that he does for 30 minutes every day. He is quiet and sucks his thumb a lot. Ray likes to read at bedtime, especially I Spy books. He is a mama’s boy and will choose to stay with me rather than go play some of the time. We love this little dude!
Ray opened presents first thing in the morning:
Around 11am we went to McDonalds with Tracie and Grandma, Bren, Cedar and Hadley. We let the kids play and got ice cream cones!
Grandma and Grandpa Robertson gave Ray a Car Track and Candy. Then Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim stopped by to wish him a happy birthday and gave him a baseball glove.
We sang and had cake before bed.
and he went to bed wearing his glove 🙂
OROVILLE DAM
Oroville has had crazy amounts of rain. The lake got super full and then the spillway at the dam got a huge crack in it! No one knew what to do with the crack so they stopped the spillway to try and figure it out and then the lake filled up and they couldn’t let it out fast enough and the water started coming over the emergency spillway! That had never happened since the dam was built in the 60’s. They finally got the water below the lake level and then started freaking out that the emergency spillway was eroding and could give way at anytime which would flood the entire town and everything down the feather river! They ordered everyone to evacuate on February 12th! Kevin and Ryan both left their homes! It was pretty crazy and chaotic. Obviously we weren’t there but we were watching and waiting all weekend. Everything seems to be fine now – there is still lots of water but most of it is further south in California. Grateful that everyone is able to go back home and hope the rain can slow down a little.
