Here are some highlights from the 2nd week of February.
Hudson having fun at Scheels. I went into the office 3 days last week (still making up time from the week before). Passing the SLC temple while on the train. I hurried home on the train Monday, so we could do activity days w/ the boys. Our neighbor Ethan Gatherum and Carter both lost their front teeth. We played Valentine's games during activity days.
Tuesday after work, we drove up to Melanie/Brandon's place to hear Ethan open/read his mission call. He got called to the Boston, Massachusetts mission. He'll leave April 15th. We're super excited for him! After reading his mission call we had dinner together.
Wednesday was Valentine's Day. The boys had fun activities at school.
Here are activities that Carter's class did that day.
My ministering sisters brought over yummy cupcakes for us! Nyles competing at martial arts against the instruction w/ their numb chucks. He said he bet him once. Good work Nyles! The next day the boys went to the dentist. Surprisingly Hudson let them clean his whole mouth and didn't fight it!
My beautiful birthday Tulips coming in bloom. My Lego flowers came in the mail (the boys bought me for my birthday), so I stopped putting my puzzle together and worked on putting the flowers together. The flowers are SUPER cool. Making progress on the puzzles.
Saturday morning Steve took Nyles up to a math activity w/ Conor. While they were gone, Hudson, Carter and I went to the library and the park.
That afternoon Carter had another soccer game. He played goalie again at times and did awesome! After his game, we met Phill/Conor/Nyles to take Carter and have a sleep over at their place.
We had Stake Conference on Sunday. With Nyles and Carter up w/ Conor, we just had Hudson w/ us. We played w/ Plus Plus and drew on the white board to stay busy/quiet during conference. A few of our Crocus are coming out to bloom. Made more progress on the puzzle. The colors are really dark, so sometimes we used a flashlight to see the colors better.
Steve smoked a beef roast for dinner Sunday night. Super yummy! Hudson getting a back massage.
We went over to Joann's place to have dinner. Stacie/Phill met us there to get the boys. Diane joined us as well. Diane put together a pinata, which was super fun! Thanks Diane!
Getting candy! After we got home, Steve and I finally finished the puzzle, yeah!! It was definitely one of the hardest puzzles we've done (though we helped complete a 100% black jigsaw puzzle before). This one was 1000 pieces, with a lot of really dark colors. It was a challenge, but fun!
We all had Monday off for President's Day. The sun was shinning so we decided to go on a hike to the suspension bridge. Steve was able to have Hudson on his back the whole time. He hasn't been able to do this for a LONG time, essentially due to his weight. He was pretty excited to be able to "fit" both around his waist and on his back. The hike was just over an hour for us, but we did it!
Taking a quick break. We made it to the bridge! Piper came along as well :)
Beautiful view of the valley from the bridge. Looking back at the bridge. Nyles and Carter decided to climb the rock formation after we got down the mountain.
Carter and Nyles w/ my Lego flowers they gave me for my birthday. Super awesome!
That night we made smoked chili, so yummy!
Great quotes on love from President Uchtdorf.
