March 2018

March is always a busy time.  We have family birthdays and an anniversary as well as the kids' many activities.  

JJ put together a group of friends for a potluck and to play our "vintage" How to Host A Murder game.  

Hannah has LOVED that our ward has a young women's basketball team and that the stake has a tournament.  Of course, our ward won the whole stake for another year! Back row: Tessa Chaney, Elise Johnson. Middle row: Mia Jensen, Emma Miller, Lexi Sampson, ? Foess, Mckenzie Olson. Bottom: ?, Hannah.

These weirdos have fun playing board games together.  I'm glad they have found something like that to do instead of sitting watching TV or video games. (Brady Bender, Hannah, JJ and Asher)

Don't let this sweet innocent face fool you.  He chewed up my favorite recipe book!!!

Hannah's been doing volleyball through Saratoga Springs this season as well.  She had a very good team which always makes the games a bit more fun.

Certain things remind me of my mom.  Using her recipe to make banana bread always brings her to my mind.  I love that I have her recipe in her handwriting.

JJ has been struggling with breathing issues this year.  He has asthma that is only induced when he gets sick.  This time it was a bit scary since his oxygen level was so low.  He was given a breathing treatment at the pediatrician that helped. 

Youth conference this year was in Moab. Lance, JJ and Hannah all were able to attend. Asher was SUPER bummed that he wasn't old enough to go.  As the group hiked they would stop at different scenic spots and have a short devotional.

While Lance and the older kids were at youth conference Asher and I went to see Peter Rabbit.  He loved it.

I take more photos of the dogs than I do of my children.

I had a great afternoon hanging out with my good friend Karen Smith at the Holy Cow Boutique.  Delicious big buns and conversation did not disappoint!

To celebrate our 19th anniversary we tried an Eagle Mountain production of Pride and Prejudice.  The seats were terrible because they were trying to make do with a wedding venue location for the production.  Some aspects of the production were good but some were really corny. 

He's so adorable when he has a fresh hair cut!

Not sure why we had the party hats out but of course we had to try and put them on the doggos.  Spirit would have none of it though! Jax was our only party animal.

Basketball is drawing to a close. The kids all really love it. We tried Saratoga Springs Jr. Jazz this year. It had its pros and cons.  I'm just glad to see the season wind down. One less thing in our busy lives.

On the way home after picking up Hannah at basketball practice I tried to capture the view of the moon. The phone just doesn't do it justice.

Despite multiple other events and car trouble I made it to Hannah's "Grand Concert".  She is in the highest level of Choir and is so grateful for her awesome teacher Mr. Johnasen who has made choir such a wonderful experiance these last two years.
