Misc February

Can't have too many pictures of this cute face. 


I took the kids to the Chinese Circus through On Stage Ogden. Oh my gosh. Mind blowing and so dang much fun. The kids were enthralled the whole time. They did the coolest balancing and juggling and roller skating and all the things. Lottie and Greta (Greta especially) were gasping every 10 seconds every time they did something new or more amazing. 


100 days at school! The funniest thing about this is when she looked at this picture, she said "I look like Caroline's dad!" (Eric Smith). So funny. I definitely shared that with Jenny. He was flattered ;)
I can't get over all the sweet notes and pictures I find on the back of Lottie's school work.


We were able to get my brother and dad a ski pass one day and went and had a KILLER day. It was so much fun. 


Went to the top of the tram for my first time.








Ok it doesn't get any cuter than this. But I was skiing with these girls myself today and they were actually pills. Adorable but man they kept yelling at each other and crying if someone was in front of them and it was really rough and annoying. 









FINALLY got my birthday cross country ski in with Brooke. And it was an icy mess. So we only skied a little bit up and then walked the rest of the way. The trail was awful. 

I am so proud of myself for finally getting my mantle put together and doing it all myself and I'm not even an interior designer and it looks awesome and I love it. So happy. 
The dreaded holiday pancakes. Not sure why I even try with these things. 

She was pretty excited to go in again. I saw blood in the toilet again and thought maybe her UTI was back. But urine was clean. Maybe it was blood from the stupid ugly rash she has on her bum and keeps scratching.
Helping in her class for V-day.

And I got to go on this field trip with Harvey. I was a little nervous about if it was going to be cool. It was AWESOME. We walked about a mile from the parking lot to the building and then the guy gave a demonstration about how to use everything. 

Our group went out on skis first. Harvey actually did really good. It was so pretty, the snow was amazing. I was in heaven. I saw Harvey go off road a little and it just made me happy and want to do more adventures. 








Then we switched and went snowshoeing. Also amazing and fun and beautiful. I ate snow for the first time in who knows how many years and it was delicious and I felt like a kid and I was so happy. 








Niederhauser ski day! And Harvey rocked Lone Tree for the first time, twice! 







I took my friend Candice back up to the area I had gone skiing with the field trip. They have all manner of a cool trail system up there that I didn't even know. It was so fun. We went in the evening and it got dusky and dark and it was quiet and they had solar lights and we talked and laughed and laughed and laughed and she peed her pants and I cried and it filled my soul to the brim. 







Heather came in late and my flight left late and so we got to cross paths in the airport! Her coming from her tropical getaway and me going to work. Always a happy time seeing her. 
Tried a new restaurant down in Arizone - Dog Haus. Holy. This blew my mind. 
My mom kept the kids overnight when I left because it was a holiday they didn't have school and Tanner had to work. She was the best grammy. They had such a fun time!










They roped her into taking them to Kidstopia!















Post ski worn out.
More amazing notes and drawings from Lottie. 
Me too, Lottie. Me too.
