    March!

    Lots of dress up around here!

    Grandma babysit for an afternoon while Ben and I worked on our Will. (yes, we have one now).

    We had a free Friday night so the kids wanted to shop and eat! and watch Coco when we got home. On Saturday we rearranged furniture and did some chores:

    Benji had a court of honor on Sunday and then we went and hung out with Cousins at Pete and Amanda’s. The kids performed Little Red Riding Hood for us:

    Monday we had another day off from school so we got a few things done around the house and then EVERYONE came over to hang out. Hancock’s, Sam and Christian, Mia and Luca, Ellie and Anna. That night we went and visited Grandpa Becker 🙂 The kids did the 3 Little Pigs Play for him. He was in a good mood and enjoyed teasing the little kids.

    I hate “Egg Surprise” Shows on Utube! and of course the kids LOVE them. Tiago asks if he can watch but then he goes and hides so that I can’t tell him no! I like it a lot more when he plays the Pre school apps instead. And Rose got to draw herself at school. She is still our artsy girl.

    Dress up at the Hancock’s:

    I got to hold Cohen and some more artsy stuff:

      

    Getting ready for Ray’s birthday Party:

      

    Party time: Candy Tasting game!

    Gifts and cake and Ice Cream:

    Saturday, I got up early and went snowshoeing with Kelsey and LaNell! We went up the AF canyon again. 5 miles round trip

    Benji had a camp out that night/morning and we could see his Ice fishing tent from up above. I tried to go say hi to him at the bottom but he was off sledding.

    Saturday afternoon we went and watched Cali play Futsal:

     

    Kelsey stayed and hung out with us on Sunday:

     

    And Tiago did his Photo shoot again – always the same funny faces 🙂

    That night Sean and Jana and Shae and Tyler came for dinner!

    Packer got Mustang of the Month! Mr. Campbell had lots of nice things to say about him and his hard work. He also likes BUILDING and being goofy – probably working on a video:

      

    Winter months are hard – we have done way too much ELECTRONIC time this month:

    One of Tiago’s favorite games:

    Seventh Grade Job Shadow Day – Benji went with Ben! I’m pretty sure lunch was his favorite part.

    These kids love some good story time:

    And they love some good Mommy time:

    We went to the Blue and Gold Cub Scout Dinner. Lots of Fun. It was Packers last Blue and Gold. And the first one that I didn’t help plan in almost a decade 🙂 and PACKER WON The CAKE EATING CONTEST!

    AND that is how we did February this year 🙂

    The Third Week of February

    Ben got to go with the Teachers Quorum on their Klondike Campout:

    On Saturday we went to watch Cali play Soccer and then took everyone to the spinning park in Lehi. Joel and Megan and kids met us there and then we let the kids babysit the other kids and the adults went to get some Blaze Pizza.

    On Sunday Joel and Megan came over for dinner. Kel was going to come but the Storm was already starting:

    On Monday the kids didn’t have school so we went and watched Little Red at the Scera Theater. Then we WENT SLEDDING cause we finally got snow!

    Unfortunately Tiago was tired and grumpy the entire time. Fortunately the Falabellas came at the end and the big kids stayed with them.

    Tuesday SNOW cones:

    After school – chores and then chill time. Packer checking an app on the phone. Trying not to play electronics EVERY day. And loving Rose’s art:

    On Thursday Afternoon I went Snow shoeing for my first time! With LaNell and Michelle and Erica up Tibble Fork.

     

    On Friday Morning we finished reading the BOOK OF MORMON!  we read every morning from 7:30-7:45. It felt great to reach that accomplishment as a family.

    Ray is becoming a great reader.

    And USA won gold in Women’s hockey!
