Valentine Boxes

 These are the Valentine bags Aleeya and Serena made in "Neighborhood Preschool" and the box that Serena made for "Flowerbox" preschool.

 Carter spent four hours working on his Ute Valentine Box for his class.  NDPA has a no food policy, so all of the valentines were cards with prizes like pencils, magnets, erasers, stickers etc. 

Taylor's Birthday

 Taylor got LOTS of presents for his birthday.  He may have not done so well at Christmas, but he scored for his birthday.  Taylor was just called to serve as a YM advisor for the Teachers, so he needed lots of scouting stuff.  James McBride gave me a lots of ideas and showed me which brands and types to buy for frame packs, sleeping bags, water storage etc.

 Carter made Taylor many cards and then wrapped them he sure loves his Dad and the Utes.

 Serena always loves to help with the present opening.  We had a family dinner with Alan, Anela and Staci.  Carter had "Great to be Eight" that night and I had a ward conference and a New Beginnings and Taylor had two YM meetings, plus church, so it was a busy day.

My newest addiction!

I am in love with this Thai Chicken pizza from Papa Murphy's.  I love it so much that I took a picture and made a blog post, now that is love!

"Jamie" Preschool

 This year the girls call our neighborhood preschool "Jamie" preschool.  I assume this is because they love Jamie and she was the first teacher AND  it is held at her mom's house.  Here the girls are playing during free time.

 The lesson this week was about the alphabet and Elizabeth Maycock was the teacher and I was the co-teacher.  She made bread with the initial of their first names for snack.

Each child also received a packet of cards with each letter of the alphabet on it.  This has been great for us to keep in the car and review the letters when we are waiting for Carter to get out of school.

First Jr. Jazz Game

Carter had his first Jr. Jazz basketball game.  He made two baskets.  Sadly, those were the only points his team made.  Carter is really good at dribbling and the coach always has him take the ball down the court.  The people behind us were calling him a little John Stockton.  I told him that, but he doesn't know who that is.  He also loves to steal the ball.

Mudballs

Serena is my outside girl!  She often gets her snow stuff on and goes outside and will wander around playing by herself for a long time.  Even the lack of snow does not stop her. 

Cuddle Time

Aleeya is copying how Serena always lays with Spencer, so that I will take a picture.  They pretend to be asleep.  So precious!
