Last week of January

Here are some highlights from the last week of January. I went into the office all week, riding the train like usual.  Thankfully I was able to come home early afternoon or lunch time, and then worked the rest of the time from home.

Steve continues to make great progress on the attic/Lego room.

Carter had another basketball game Monday night.  On Tuesday at Nyles' school for fun, they weren't supposed to use a backpack, so Nyles brought a suitcase instead.  Great quote.

Steve carried all the buckets of wheat up from Dave/Joann's basement, out onto our trailer.  Since they are going to be moving this year (building a new house), they're working on getting rid of things.  Later Dave drove the wheat over to a relative's place to give to their animals.

All the buckets of wheat on the trailer.  I took Carter and Hudson to the library while Nyles and Steve were at a combined Young Men/Women's Broadcast at the church.  Hudson playing at the library.

Our neighbor invited us over to look through his telescope.  We got to see Mars (the Red Planet), Venus (looked like a half moon upside down), and Jupiter.  Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System.  We could see the rings around it, along w/ its 4 most dominant moons.  It was awesome!

Great quote.  Nyles looking in the telescope.  Construction on the SLC temple.  Friday was 100 days at school, so they let the kids dress up like they were 100 years old.  Carter got to be Grandpa Carter, white hair and all (baby powder and dry shampoo for the win).  He thought it was really fun!

I made some more sour dough.  This one turned out the best so far :)

Steve and Nyles are enjoying the sour dough.

Friday afternoon after school (early out), Steve took the boys ice fishing again over to Rockport.  Rob, Dave, Phill and Conor went this time as well.  Unfortunately the fish didn't cooperate this time and it was SUPER windy.  They still had a fun time.

Steve won a new Nintendo Switch Oled from GameStop.  Last year they bought a Pokémon game from them and apparently were entered into a drawing.  And Steve won!!!  So awesome!  We also got some free ice cream (free perk on one of our credit cards).  We love FREE! :)

On Saturday, Steve went over to LuDean's place to build her a wheel chair ramp, so she can get in/out of her house easier.  He ended up working on it all day.  Nyles came to help as well.

Carter, Hudson and I ran some errands, then we got on the train to go up to the Jazz basketball game.  We met Steve/Nyles at 3300 South and dropped Hudson off w/ them.  Since Carter is playing Jr. Jazz, he got a free ticket to go watch a game.  They played the Orlando Magic and won!  It was a good game!

Carter and his friend Colin playing during a break at the basketball game.

Hudson played w/ blocks and toys while Steve was building the ramp.

On Sunday we had our family dinner.  After dinner we played a quick game drawing a Cootie Bug.

Cute Hudson working hard on drawing his bug.  He got a eye mask at Diane's the day before and brought it with him :)

We then sang Happy Birthday to me!  (Carrie wasn't feeling well so she didn't come).

Hudson was my big helper blowing out the candles.

Happy Birthday to Penny, help from Hudson.
