Half Marathon!

 Brandon likes to do the "hard" half marathons!
or the non-downhill races!
 This was the Riverton Half!




Brandon did awesome! 1hr 34mins!
Way to go B!!

St. Patricks Day

 The trap!
I forgot to take a pic before the leprechaun came!
 He got away!
 The long path he had to take to find trick gold!
The prizes for trying!!!

Knight of the Time Tables!

 Tyson was Knighted a Knight of the Times Tables when he passed off all his times tables!


It was really cute!
The principal was dressed up as a king and did a whole shpeal on conquering the times tables!
Then they sang and round rendition of Do Re Me!
Congrats Tyson!
You are one smart cookie!!!

Macy!

 Macy writing her name for the first time all by herself!!
 Macy is so easy while the kids are at school!
This is what she does...lays on the floor playing toys!! :)
And she sure loves her sister!!!

Candy Science!

 
 For doing so well in school and Parent Teacher Conferences I let the kids pick books from the book fair!
Tyson picked a Candy Science book!
Our friend Sam came over to experiment with us!
 They made pop rocks turn into pearls!
 Had peep wars!
 Made a sucker skeleton!
 and many other experiments!!
Fun!


Utah Tourists!

 
 I got the idea from a friend that asked about hiking the Y and the U. Brandon and I went to the U and never hiked to it so we packed up the kids and tried it out!
So, it turns out that the hike is not really a "hike" it is a walk down a cement path and you are there!
It was still fun to see it up close...
 and the view was amazing from it!!
 
 Since it really wasn't a hike we went to Ensign Peak!
That was a hike and our kids rocked it!
 The view from there was amazing too!
 We couldn't stay at the top for long because Macy had to go potty and wouldn't in the trees!


 After our hikes we visited the State Capital!


 We were Utah tourists for the day!
One thing to note! We realized that we should get drinks AFTER we are done, not before!
We had to make A LOT of potty stops!!

Lily had my phone on the way home! :)

Valentine's!

 We took to pinterest to find cute valentine's to hand out at school!
Tyson picked Minions!
 Lily picked wonder loom bracelets and of course we procrastinated so Lily didn't have time to make 24 bracelets so Mom got to conquer that! :)
 Tyson's idea for his valentine's box!
Too Cute!
 We went the store kit route for Lily!
 Nana and Papa dropped off a Valentine's surprise!
Supplies for Ice Cream Sundae's!
Yum!
Happy <3 br="" day="">

14 Years later!



 Well we have made it 14 years and counting!
Before we headed out on a date I asked Tyson to take some pics of us!
 Tyson insisted on a kissing pic!
We kept it simple and went to dinner and a movie while the kids enjoyed co-op at the Kjars!

Christmas Break fun!

 The week between Christmas and New Years the Arizona cousins were here to visit and since it was the only snow of the year the kids played a lot in the snow!
In Nana and Papa's backyard building a fort!

 Sledding on the front hill!












 Movie night!
 Cute Chase!
 We visited the aquarium!
Thanks Nana!

 Chase was adorable and walks around with his hands behind his back!
We also headed to the cabin for a day!
It is always fun to have cousins in town!!
 We were off track for 4 weeks with Christmas break, so we also headed to the Museum of Natural Curiosity with our friend Isabelle!


 Tyson had been working on typing and was pretty frustrated, he finally got a really high score and was super stoked!
 Lily lost yet another tooth!
She is now toothless!! but made a lot of $$
 This is my little buddy each day!
 She loves taking selfies!

 Nana decided to take us to Hardware ranch in Logan to see all the Elk!
 With it being such a warm winter there weren't as many Elk, but I felt like there were a ton!



 Petting the huge horses after our ride!



It was a long 4 weeks but we made it!
