To start here are a few random pictures/moments from January
My dear friend Brandi, got married this past month. I have been so happy for her, and loved going through this process with her...even if it means she's moving away:( Her friend Lizzy was so kind to host a bridal shower in her honor. So fun having most of our old YW there. These girls are getting married, going to college, and leaving on missions. Love them dearly, and the women I got to serve with!
Had to take a picture to prove it is possible for Brayden's room to be clean...really clean. He didn't quite believe it could happen cause his room's "so small."
One night walking around Target 3 girls came up to me and handed me a rose. They said they were spending the night doing random acts of service. I was a lucky recipient of their service and it totally made my night!
When we were little we spent hours and hours at the baseball field. My little brother Curtis would spend all his time in front of the snack shack. Because he was so stinkin' cute, they would eventually give him treats. He always had a snowcone or nacho's or candy. Well, we have been spending a lot of time at the indoor soccer facility by our house. When it's Brayden's turn to practice, this is usually where you can find Kade...camped out at the snack shack. I about died the first time I saw him sitting there. It took me way back to those days at the baseball field. He hasn't had any luck with free stuff yet, but I'm confident he will.
We were driving down the road one night and Kade hollered from way in the back, "Hey Mom! I pulled my tooth out!" This kid loves money so he is always twisting and pulling trying to get those teeth out. He was definitely successful this particular night.
Between Mike's work, good friends, and parents with tickets, we have had the rare opportunity to go to a lot of Jazz games this season. The kids LOVE them! They love dancing and trying to get on the jumbo tron (they are usually successful!) It's a fun date night for Mike and I, especially if we have his work tickets. We get to go to a nice dinner beforehand, great seats and all you can eat treats at half time. Let's be honest, nobody's really there for the game...right?
Kade and his buddy Jaxon got their picture taken with Gordon Hayward
Kaylee and Kyra with the Jazz bear
I am always in awe when we get to sit so close. It's a whole different game when you can hear the players banter back and forth.
Kade's class did a play called "Tacky the Penguin." He got to be a hunter in the play. It was so cute watching these little 1st graders and their acting skills. They really did a great job memorizing their lines. I've got to say, Kade was the best little hunter...even if he wouldn't wear his white circle on his tummy.
The hunters
For the super bowl we spent the night cuddled in our basement. It was low key and perfect. None of us were really that interested in the actual game. The kids got more amusement from Grandma snoring and folding socks, then from the game. Secretly I was really jealous she was able to fall asleep
You know the game was bad when the kids asked, "Mom, can we fold socks!?!" For some reason they think this is really fun (not sure why we don't do it more often???) I hate folding socks so they usually end up in a big basket. Kade's so excited in this pic, he's actually hugging the socks.
And PS. By the end of this post, I remember why I quit blogging in the first place. It. Takes. So. Long. Holy moly! I only got through about 1/4 of what I thought I would accomplish tonight.
