The Freezing Continues

 It was gorgeous weather all week, and then it's like Mother Nature knew we had a late soccer game.  The sun set and the temperature plummeted.  I couldn't feel my toes by the end of it, but Little Guy had a great game.  He seems to have found his stride in midfield.  

Busy Day!

The boys had overlapping soccer games this morning.  Nothing quite like a freezing first game of the season.  They're excited to be back at it again, but the spectators are significantly less thrilled. BB then had the Brain Blizzard competition.  His team came in 3rd place which is even more impressive considering they're 6th graders competing against 7th and 8th graders.  We had 8th grade friends win 1st place, so it was a lot of fun.

He went straight to KCSM for a mini-recital.  

After that we went out to dinner with Uncle Daniel.  He visited for 24 hours, and it was fun to catch up.

Playing Companions

 The cats like to relax in the music room when the kiddos are practicing.  

Sweetheart Dance

 Little Man went with a bunch of his church friends to the Sweetheart Dance this past weekend.  He missed the formal pictures, because he headed to the wrong location, but they got it figured out and he met them at the restaurant.  He sent me these pictures from the dance.  

Baby Kai

Karen and I put together a baby shower over the weekend for Kara.  Karen hosted at her beautiful new home.  It was so much fun to celebrate Kara and her baby boy!

We can't wait to meet him!

Wilderness Quilt

My sweet friend Kara is having her very first baby boy!  She loves giraffes, so I put together a quilt using Kona Wilderness solids with safari animals on the back.  I'm not gonna lie, this is one of my recent favorites.  I'm loving these solids!

Valentine's Party...a Little Late

 We FINALLY went back to school today.  Little Guy had his Valentine's Day Party today, so they didn't learn much, but at least they're all out of the house for a little bit.  

MORE Snow Days

 I'm convinced the kiddos aren't meant to go to school this Winter.  After a long weekend we've had 2 more snow days.  This weather has been crazy.  We've had some sickness with the youngest two as well.  We've spent some time introducing the children to the delights of Jane Austen on these lazy, snow days.  The boys have been ranking the men.  Colonel Brandon has officially been ranked as the best leading man followed by Mr. Darcy.  The cats even joined us in our Austen marathon.

He chose to lay on top of the heating vent when he wasn't feeling well.
