Wrapping up February with a slam into March!

February went out with two very busy weeks! After we got back from Hawaii, we had weeks filled with Parent/Teacher conferences (both as parents and teacher), Grandpa Hatch's funeral, sending mom and dad back out into the mission field, family in town, UVU meetings for my concurrent enrollment classes, visiting teaching etc. Busy is good, except that I needed to be home on the weekend to get caught up with the household and family needs. Here are some pictures!

Austin and his projects

Austin is fortunate to have the world's best ladies who watch him each morning while I teach! Julie and her daughters, Chantelle and Tiffany, put together a cool pre-school for the kids where they study different themes each month. Here is one of his projects that I just loved: a goat with its udders to feed the baby!

On his head, is his church ears to listen. Too cute! Thanks to his primary teachers too!

Jeff's Birthday

Since we were all up in Idaho for Grandpa's funeral, we celebrated Jeff's birthday with a dinner at our home the night before my parents flew back out to the mission field in New Jersey. Brandon and his family were there too. We enjoyed great food and conversation. Happy Birthday, Jeff!

Look at that Black Forest Cherry Cake!

March Betrayal

This is how March came in! On my last day off until Spring break in April, it snowed. And snowed. And snowed. I was upset at first, but we ended up having some fun in the snow with the kids. Here are some pictures of our yard.

Do we even have front steps?

The kids insisted on Abelskivers for breakfast and boy, were they delicious (as always!) Next time, I'm calling cousin Doug to cook some for me!
