2nd Week of March

We had an eventful week.  Here are the highlights.

 Monday morning, getting the kids up, after Daylight Savings.  They were just a little tired, and apparently Piper also :)

More pretty Crocus and Daffodils in bloom in the front yard.

Monday night, Hudson in his karate class, learning to use a bow staff.  Pretty sunset.

For YM's on Tuesday night,  they learned how to build fires.  Hudson also wanted to go.  

Carter stayed home w/ me, working on his school project, drawing a hawk.

Wednesday night, Carter had another hockey game.  He got to try being the goalie this time.

Thursday after preschool, Hudson went to the Hogle zoo w/ his friend Brandon from his class.  They had a great time!  That afternoon, Nyles and his friend Lincoln presented their project called, "The 18 day miracle" about the first heart transplant, for a District competition.  They did well and are now going to State!

After Nyles competition, we all jumped on the trax and headed downtown for the Utah Mammoth Hockey game.  I worked downtown all week, so it was my 3rd time on the train for the day.  Hudson was tired from the zoo, so he fell asleep on the way up to the Delta Center.  Carter got 2 free tickets for playing in the hockey city league, so we got 3 more tickets so we could all go as a family.

At the game.  It was a little cool in the arena, so we were glad we brought coats and hats.

Since it was a school night, we didn't stay the whole game.  Unfortunately, they lost by 1 point in over time.  Hudson fell asleep again on the way home.  The boys standing in the middle of the train, as the trax train turns the corner.

Friday night, we dropped the boys off at Dave/Joann's place to spend the night, then drove out to Rose's place.  She was singing in the choir for the Lamb of God performance at the Tooele High School and we wanted to support her.  We met at her house first for dinner w/ Pauline and Chris.  Rose went over after dinner, then we came just before it started.  It was a wonderful performance.

Lynsie came over a little later as well, and stayed the night also.

Hudson at the chiropractor earlier on Friday.  Steve hurt is back the week before and is still trying to get it feeling better.  A quick picture w/ Rose and Pauline after the performance.

Saturday morning, we had a Stake Primary Activity for children ages 7-11.  Steve went and picked up the boys and brought them back while I was setting up.  Hudson wanted to attend, so he came w/ Carter.  We discussed our theme of standing in holy places.  As the kids came in, they could build a temple out of paper, blocks, or magnets.  After our opening song and prayer, we discussed our theme and Kelly (our stake Primary President) discussed David and Goliath.  We then separated into 2 groups.  One came w/ me, and one went in Marsha's group.  We played "The Floor is Lava" in the gym for my group, and learned more about temples in Marsha's group.

The children building temples.

Awesome Temples!

Learning about Goliath and more about temples.

Singing Holy Places song.

We went swimming that afternoon at the rec center.

I made another loaf of sourdough bread.

Sunday, we went to Diane's place to celebrate Joann's 71st birthday.  We had Papa Murphy's pizza, then cake and ice cream.  We also played a few rounds of Blank Slate.
