March Madness

Well, March was a ton of basketball, a little soccer, and lots of fun. We were loving watching the BYU Cougars battling in the NCAA tournament. I also had a church team I was playing on in our own regional tournament, and the kids all started soccer this month.





There were a few days, in between the snow storms that we finally raked all of our leaves. Carson worked really heard to make this HUGE leaf pile so he could jump in it. It is also finally warm enough to be back on the trampoline. Audrey is out there almost daily - even when it is cold!


Here is my Regions 2nd place team - we lost the championship in overtime! We had a fun season, and I have really grown to love these ladies!


Now, cute Kate. She has been so excited to start soccer. She has wanted to wear her cleats everyday for a week prior to her first game. She finally had a chance to play in her first game. She looks so cute in the Sandy City soccer uniform. I can't believe my little Kate is playing soccer.



Now for the cutest little bug, Graham. He is crazy - into everything. He climbs up and down the stairs all day long, and he has learned how to walk with his "walker" toy. He is getting more and more interested in trying to walk without holding on. It is fun to see him learn and grow.

Look Who's A One Year Old!


Happy Birthday to our cute baby!

Graham is One! We all LOVE our little Graham. The older kids found it hard to wait until his birthday! They were looking forward to him opening his birthday presents and watching him eat his cake. Audrey even planned party games for him to play. Good times!
He now cruises around and is totally crazy. He leaves a path of destruction behind by emptying all the drawers and cupboards he can, as quickly as he can. Torture for him is being held still. He is such a little sweetheart though. Love you, Graham!

In February we discovered two new places: Airborne Trampoline Area (awesome!), and the Topaz Mountain area. Airborne is only a few miles away - and the kids wore themselves out there. We had a blast.
Brad's family took us to Topaz Mountain - and we enjoyed looking for the topaz, obsidian, and exploring an abandoned mine. It was nice to be outside and let the kids run and look for rocks. THEY LOVED IT! Anyway, two new spots on our fun list.
Otherwise, we have been skiing, watched a lot of basketball - and ridden the emotional roller coaster that is BYU basketball. Chad and I are both playing church ball - so that has been fun. Also, the most recent snowy Saturday - we took the kids to the church gym and had a family sports day. VERY FUN. Winter sports are fun, but we are all getting anxious for spring.
