Kim has been training for her 1/2 since September. I knew when she was doing it in St George that I would love to go and support her. I called Nic and she was excited to do it as well so the plan started there. Kinner's birthday was the day before so Nic didn't want to leave her so we decided to take her and I took Hallie and Gracie. My big hang up is that I had never left Liam. In the past I couldn't even consider that but with this new emotional healing therapy/coaching I am doing it seemed achievable. Matt was more than willing to help and stay home with Liam and Emy and take them to do something special. Friday was also Brit's birthday so the family girls all got together for dinner. I didn't want to miss it so I caught dinner on our way out of town. Hallie and Gracie went to dinner down the street and had a great time. It was the first time I had given them my credit card but they did great. That gave the adults the chance to visit without little ears.
I Love You This Much...

Feb Random
I love when Hallie wants to be involved in the kitchen and I wish it happened more frequently. One night Matt and the kids were down watching a movie and I had started donuts so Hallie helped me. I really enjoyed it. It also helped because the next week she missed her lab for Foods class and needed this picture to get credit for missing.
During project time I had bought trim and Liam turned it into a marble track. He and the girls had a ballThursday, February 29, 2024
Hallie's Play
Hallie was excited to be part of the Jr High play again this year. This year they performed The Greek Mythology Olypiaganza. She played 7 different parts in the show that lasted 35 min total. All of her parts were in the last 10 minutes where she spoke most if that time. We went both nights they performed. Liam laughed so hard the first night he was insistent that we go again the next. Hallie had a part where she fought with one of her best friends with a bunch of rubber duckies and it was by far the show stopper. Hallie really loves theater and is looking forward to performing more as she moves to Weber High next year. We really enjoy getting her watch her do something she enjoys

Valentines' Day Dancing....Gracie's 6th Grade Dance/Daddy Daughter Dance
In the fall I was voluntold that I was in charge of the 6th grade dance. I didn't think much of it until we were in Mexico and I realized it was less than a month away. Luckily there were several great moms that had volunteered to be involved. Hallie's 6th grade dance was right after the covid shut down so they weren't allowed to do anything they normally would have done so I had no idea what to plan or expect. It all came together so well. They had some of the dance teachers from the valley come in for weeks before and taught the kids some line dances. I think this made it more fun and made it so there wasn't the awkward slow dance situation. The mom in charge of refreshments did slushies and they were a hit.

Ski Day
We finally got to the ski hill. It was the stake YM & YW ski night. I asked if it was ok if the rest of the kids and I came and they said of coarse. We packed up and headed over. The snow was super slushie but we had a fun night. The stake provided dinner for the kids and I had packed snacks for the rest of the time. We stayed way later than I thought we would because we were having so much fun. Liam is doing great in the harness and as the night went on had better and better control. I had a moment when I could see us just enjoying skiing together rather than continuing to teach kids year after year. Im looking forward to that and more ski days with my ski buddies.
