2nd week of March

Here are some highlights from the 2nd week of March. 

Monday, March 11th, Carter stayed home from school as he wasn't feeling well.  He developed a cough like I had, and Hudson.  My voice is still recovering from losing it the week before, plus the cough.  I didn't take anytime off work though, last week or this week.  I rearranged a few things and had help from my colleagues where needed, then mainly communicated via chat, and or I whispered when I needed to talk. 

Monday afternoon, we had our Primary Activity for the boys.  Carter stayed home.  We made St. Patrick's Day clovers w/ diamond dots.  Surprisingly the boys stayed focused the whole hour and worked really hard to complete their clover.

So many birds flying across the street.  The boys working on their clovers, then finished (Clay, Tristan, Jonah, Jacob and Ryder).  Sydney Evans w/ her son Taft, taking a nap.

Hudson stayed home from preschool on Tuesday, still not feeling the best.  But by Wednesday he was doing much better, so he went to his preschool class at the rec center.

Wednesday it also started snowing.  By noon we had 3 inches.

Steve hates having the driveway covered in snow, so he and Hudson went out and shoveled it.

Thursday, Nyles went to choir practice in the morning, then came home sick after Steve dropped off Carter.  Ironically the snow melted by the next day, and it looked more like Spring again.

Our first Daffodil blooming!  Awesome note from Carter's teachers.  Nyles made cinnamon rolls from a can!  Good work Nyles! 

Friday evening, Nyles and Carter had a martial arts phase test they had to complete in order to advance to their next belt rank this month.  We are now driving to the Riverton studio, as they closed the Draper one.  Definitely not what we want, but we're making it work.

Saturday, Carter went to play w/ his friend Colin, who lives in Riverton, before their soccer game.  After dropping him off, the rest of us went for a bike ride next to the Jordan River.  It was a beautiful day to go for a bike ride.  We went about 4 miles.  It was fun!

On our bike ride.  On our ride back, Hudson fell asleep :)

Our beautiful Crocus flowers in bloom and first daffodil!  We have more blooming this year than last year!  We have these new voluntary mixed one of white and half purple ones; so pretty!

We went home, dropped off our bikes, then met Carter/Colin over at Dimple Dell Rec Center for their soccer game.  They did awesome and won again (undefeated), though they don't keep track of score.  Carter got to play goalie for a little bit again.  He's really enjoying soccer.

Sunday was another beautiful day.  After church Steve and I took a nap.  Steve started feeling a little yucky earlier in the week as well.  Basically the whole family has been sick, but we're managing and slowly recovering.  That afternoon the neighborhood kids gathered in the circle to play.  Hudson wanted another bike ride, so Steve took him around the block while I was talking w/ neighbors.  We also met our new neighbors who moved in behind us.  It was a beautiful day.  We are looking forward to Spring and Summer coming up.  The boys are excited to go camping this summer.
