Feels like Spring

Today Scott rode his scooter to work, We walked the girls home from school, and each got a scooter ride. Don't worry, we didn't just expect Jack to hang on, as it appears in this picture. When he gets his ride he is wedged between Scott and I! We loved this little taste of Spring today...I want more!

Just some cute kids

On Sunday night the kids were just being goofy (like always). Its nice to see them all getting along and loving each other. So of course you need to capture those moments with a picture. Sometimes you drive me crazzzzy, but I sure love you guys.

Valentine Boxes

Yesterday was our day to make Valentine boxes for Emma and Lauren. They are having their Valentine parties today, because they don't have school on Friday. I love that they are both completely different, uniquely portraying their personalities! I think they turned out pretty cute, now its off to go help with their class parties! I told Lauren about my class party when I was in first grade, because I'll never forget it. I got sick. I remember just when it was time to hand out our Valentines, I knew I was not feeling well. My mom came and picked me up from school, and I missed the party. But just like me today, she had to help with something for one of our class parties. So she had to take me to Smith's to buy some heart candy, if I remember right. Well right there in the middle of the isle I was going to throw up, but my mother came prepared. She whipped that throw up pot out of her purse just in the nick of time, and caught it all! (do you remember that mom??? Oh how could you ever forget??) Lauren assured me she did not plan on getting sick and missing her first grade party, I was so relived! Love you mom, you were then, and still are always prepared.

Romp to Stomp

Today I tried something new....Snowshoeing! My friend Melissa told us about the Susan G. Komen, Romp to Stomp out breast cancer event. Sounds fun, and new, I'm In! My great friend Tekarri and I, met Melissa up at Mountain
Dell golf course. We registered, got all our gear on and we were off. I loved being outdoors. It felt so good to be out and active. Scott and I have talked about wanting to get outdoors with the family more this year. I guess this wasn't a family event but I was glad for the opportunity. We did the 3k (well Tekarri and I), Melissa( a more experienced snowshoer)did the 5k. It was just perfect. Afterwards we had a delicious lunch at the Citrus grill. I had a cup of sweet potato corn chowder, and a Cobb salad, yummy! It was a great experience, for a good cause, and a beautiful day.

Emma's Pet Bob

So The kids really wanted a dog, but this is about all I felt like I could handle!
Meet Bob the fish. Emma got a Walmart gift card for Christmas, from her Grandma Julie, and Grandpa Richard. She Knew just what she wanted to spend it on... a Fish! She budgeted it all out, bowl..decoration (no fishing sign)... food and fish. She was so excited to go and get him on Saturday, she loves him! And I think I can handle a Fish... Compromise!

Jack's Haircut

I just thought Jack looked so handsome with his cute new haircut that I had to share! I Love you, my Sunshine boy!

Ute's Parade

On Friday the girls didn't have school, and Scott took the day off. We headed into Salt Lake for the The University of Utah Football parade. It started at 3:00 pm and we arrived about 30 mins. early and had perfect seats (well you know... standing seats) all was well except that Scott forgot his coat...I guess in the loading of the van, and making sure everyone else had a coat, he forgot his own??? The weather was great though, a great day for a parade! Until the parade took a route down the opposite side of the divided street and everyone ran to stand in the median and we couldn't see much of anything. But we got to hear the band, and be part of the celebration. They even had donuts shaped like U's and hot cider. We had a good time. After we decided to go to The Old Spagetti Factory, at Trolley Square. We saw several other Ute families, and enjoyed our salad, spagetti, and spumoni Ice cream! Go Utes!
