Procrastination + infectious disease x technical difficulties = over a month without checking in here on the blog.
To sum up the past month: We've been busy with projects & accomplishments, rest and rejuvination and germs running amok.
Projects and Accomplishments
 |
| On a rainy MLK Day Mike and Noble put together this SWEET sk8 and long board rack. |
 |
| We shoveled lots of snow this spring |
 |
| Abner was pretty proud of this this Lego ship with a Star Wars windshield, pizzas and a Christmas tree on top. And that is the party hat he made a preschool. |
 |
| Grace made the honor roll at Providence Hall |
 |
| Sully and Abner built this space ship and space helmets |
 |
| Our desktop computer finally breathed its last (after 7 years of diligent service). The U.S. Army (Sean) swooped in to diagnose the problem, back up our hard drive, help us choose a new computer, and then load all our info onto the new computer (remotely from Logan. like magic. while putting baby Mae to sleep. Sean has super powers.) - this took him two lengthy house calls, and another evening from home. |
 |
| The kids had fun with baby Mae when Sean and Kim came to call. |
 |
| Webcam pic of Sean the man. Fixing computers and putting babies to sleep with his SKILLS. |
Rest and Rejuvenation
 |
| Sully leading an afternoon yoga class in his room. |
 |
| We took the 4 day Valentines/Presidents Day weekend and went south - spending a day skiing / snowboarding at Eagle Point, east of Beaver, a day at Zion and chilling at the Melton's (our cold weather get away destination) in St. George. Here is the at Eagle Point. |
 |
| ALL SIX KIDS on the slopes (Eagle Point has great week day deals - which makes taking 6 kids skiing possible). |
 |
This is how Sully nd Abner finished the day.
 |
| Zion was really crowded - but cleared out as the afternoon went by. The weather was absolutely beautiful. |
|
|
 |
| Walking the river at the Temple of Sinawava |
 |
| Weeping Rock |
 |
| Hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa's |
 |
| Oldest and youngest - at the Costa Vida in Fillmore |
 |
| As soon as we got back home from our trip Abner wanted to get straight back up to the slopes. |
Germs Running Amok
 |
| With all the other stuff going on - we have also been fighting one infectious disease after another - for about 3 months. I AM SO DONE WITH SICKNESS. After a couple of rounds of strep, I got on Amazon and bought a box of rapid strep tests. Between strep, the most potent cold virus in history, strep again, and now hand, foot and mouth., I have really had enough. Sometimes that's how it goes. I'm going to go disinfect some more stuff. |
