Salt Lake Trip
Overlooking the SLC temple at Sunset. Isn't this just a beautiful view!?
This is "Al-gator"....a huge stuffed alligator that a blind woman knitted for my Grandpa. (Yes, he does recieve some pretty interesting gifts). "Al-gator" has been well used and loved over the past 10 years, and so my grandparents recently decided to have him re-stuffed! He's as good as new! :)
James and Uncle Brent in one of their many amazingly cool boy toys. James absolutely adores Tag and Talmage and loves staying with Brent and Ang.
In between conference sessions.
Emi's first time attending General Conference. She came with Jim and I to the Saturday morning session. She did really well and had a great experience!
While in SLC we celebrated my birthday! The kids made this cute display out of pom-poms. Look closely, it says "happy birthday mom".
While in SLC we also celebrated Easter. Here are the kids getting ready for their Easter egg hunt. Between the egg hunt with cousins and three adoring sets of grandparents, we probably brought home about 20 pounds of chocolate!

Kiddos
Nothing too exciting is happening around here. No news is good news, right? I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, so I feel obligated to post a few pics of the kiddos!
James has the most amazing sunbeam teacher. Every week she goes above and beyond with her lesson and craft/handouts. James is always so eager to tell us about what he learned in Sunbeams. A couple of weeks ago, James proudly marched out of primary with a cup filled with dirt and seeds. He had learned that Heavenly Father created seeds and grass. Each day he dutifully watered and checked on his seeds.
James was thrilled when grass started to grow, and even more excited when "grass man's" hair grew so long it needed a haircut!
At least a couple times each week, James digs through his closet and pulls out his monkey halloween costume. He wears it around the house pretending to be a monkey, a bear or a puppy. On this day, all of his pretending wore him out, and he climbed into bed all on his own and fell asleep. Super cute!
Clara was one of two kindergartners honored at a town art show last week. She was so excited to receive her certificate and eat punch and cookies at the reception!
I really need to post an "art show" of some of her work. She'd love that!

In rewind
Thankfully there is no longer snow in my front yard! (However, there has been several inches of cold rain this weekend.) This pic is from a couple of weeks ago. Jim and the kids had a great time building a snowman family in our front yard. Every day afterward we'd check the 'status' of our snowman and sing either "once there was a snowman tall, tall, tall" or "in the sun he melted small, small, small."
Emi celebrated her ninth birthday with an ice skating party. The girls had so much fun decorating olympic gold medals, showing off their twirls on the ice and of course eating cupcakes and drinking hot chocolate!

Kids Say the Cutest Things
The other day we were at a playgroup. I was holding my friends adorable 5 month old daughter. Clara came over to me and said "Ohhhhh, she's soooo cute!!! Can I pet her?"

Happy Valentines Day
This week has been winter vacation. The kids have had lots of fun at playdates, sledding, playing in the snow, attending library classes, going swimming etc. I'm happy to say that I survived winter vacation...and I'm looking forward to a return in schedules come Monday! =)
Below are a couple pics from Valentines Day. My favorite is the giant crepe paper heart that Jim and the Kids created on my bedroom wall. Very cute!

Teddy Bear Birthday Party
Saturday was Clara's sixth birthday party. The party was a huge success! We came up with the idea of having an "adopt a teddy bear" party......at home. The girls loved getting their own teddy bears! Everything was bear themed. We had a bear treasure hunt, we made collars and personalized 'bear' tags, we took our bears to the 'vet', we played pet bear bingo and had bear story time. The kids had a great time!

In addition the the bears & collars, the girls received these teddy goodies in their bags.
