3rd week of February

 Here are some highlights from the 3rd week of February.

On Monday, February 14th, the boys woke up to a scavenger hunt to find some treats before school.  They thought it was pretty fun.  The next day we played outside a little.  Nyles decided to multi-task by jumping on the trampoline while driving his monster car.  Silly kid!  Hudson throwing the ball for Piper, then playing in the sandbox.  He likes to pour the sand on him as much as put it in the truck.

Then we got a little snow the next day.

We have our first flowers this Spring; cute Crocuses!  Silly Hudson likes to take my water bottles and straws.  Hudson also wanted to climb on the bench after dinner, so we turned it around so he couldn't fall off.  Nyles and Carter joined him as well.

Thursday, after the boys were done w/ Martial Arts, we grabbed some dinner then went over to Scheels for a free ride on the Ferris Wheel.

They also got to shoot the laser guns for free!

Friday, I worked a half day and Nyles and Carter had school in the morning.  Then we packed up and headed up to my parent's place in Idaho.  We left around 2pm and got up there just before 7pm.  Thankfully Hudson took a nap and did great the whole way up.  Carter did a puzzle w/ my dad before going to bed as well.  Good work!

The next morning the boys had to see and hold the cute little puppies!  They are so precious!

Hudson liked to swing on my mom's walking bars as well.

Hudson then hanging on the railing outside.  Cute puppies playing.  Carter loves to snuggle w/ them!

Steve and the boys went out fishing that morning w/ my dad.  Though it was calm at the house, when they got over to the lake it was windy and cold.  They tried catching fish, but didn't get any.  The boys hid under the blanket to stay warm on the way out and back.

Later Steve taking Hudson on a walk around the place.  Playing w/ the puppies more.

Going for a motorcycle ride w/ Grandpa.  Cute puppies playing.  Hudson LOVES to sweep!

The boys went back to the lake, this time at the Dam side, and met Mark Gasper to fish again.  

Nyles caught one fish, but they lost it while netting it.  They had a good time though.

Hudson taking a nap in his car seat in the pack-n-play.

Carter getting loved by the puppies!

We had Stake Conference, so we watched it at my parent's place while they went to church.  Hudson took a nap as well.  The boys and I listened to the Friend to Friend broadcast before Stake Conference started.  Carter drew a picture during it.  Hudson sweeping more.  That afternoon Barbara and her whole family came over to visit.  She brought some Oreos, which Hudson thought were great!  Thanks for sharing Barb!  It was great to spend time w/ Barb and her family.  It's been a while for sure.

Barbara brought their new puppy Coco, which Carter of course had to hold.  Me trying to get Hudson to walk to me, but he picked his nose instead, haha.  Me holding a cute puppy.

Monday morning we headed out after breakfast.  My dad left earlier that morning to go to the chiropractor, so we told him "see ya later" the night before.  We had a wonderful time visiting w/ Mom and Dad.  We of course played a few games and had a few good laughs.  Thanks for everything!

We stopped by Grandma and Dan Crane's place in Burley on our way home.  Grandma had a lot of mail piling up back on the farm, so we brought it to her as well.  It was great to see her and Dan and visit for a little while.

Rob was nice and stayed at our place w/ Piper while we were gone over the weekend.  Piper was so excited to see us when we got home though!  We got some snow, but thankfully the roads were good.  My Tulips, that the boys and Steve got for me for my birthday, are starting to bloom!  They're so pretty!

Great quotes.
