Party Weekend

 We packed a lot in last weekend. Friday night I took Chloe and Ainsley to the David Archuleta concert on campus. We had seats on the third row and then I got a ticket up in the bleachers, so the girls could be in the closer seats. However, when we arrived, my friend Janel was on the front row and they had extra seats, so I sat there with her. Eventually, the girls complained that they were too short and couldn't see over the people in front of them, so we traded and let them sit on the front row. They loved it. He gave a great concert and he's got such a good voice. We got Blizzards on the way home.   The next morning, after Kory and I had helped clean the church, we piled into the car and headed to Utah. We listened to some Greatest Showman tunes and basically sang and ate sunflower seeds. Our first stop was the Surf-n-Swim in Layton, which is an indoor wave pool. We had so much fun playing in the waves for a couple of hours. After eating at In n'...

Happy Valeversary

So one thing I've learned as a step-mom is that Valentine's Day involves making Valentine Boxes and that it's very important that they are cute and awesome and etc. So usually I don't have to be involved with it, but because the kids were with us on Valentine's Day, it became a worry. Chloe found this Pinterest post of a hot air balloon Valentine box, so we went and bought the stuff and, fortunately, her mom helped her put it together. Unfortunately, one of her friends did the same thing and hers was cuter and won the awards. Fortunately, this is our last year in elementary school and we don't have to worry about it anymore.  Our anniversary falls on the day after Valentine's Day, hence the term "valeversary." It was funny because I was so busy getting the kids Valentine's stuff for class valentines and etc that I totally forgot I was supposed to get something for Kory. I told him I was single so long I really totally ignored Valen...

February Fun

January and February are always slow picture months for me, but here a few little snapshots. One night Kory took Caleb to watch an improv group at BYU-Idaho. Caleb loves watching stand-up and sketch comedy and has even performed some for the Primary talent show. He loved this show so much he waited in line to meet the performers.  Chloe did a great FHE lesson on pornography and online safety but wanted to round out the evening with some good old-fashioned sack races. Kory, Chloe, and I got some take-out to share with Austin and Leah and Andy one night. We had fun watching Andy show off her wobbly walking and knocking down blocks while watching Moana. Such a cute little family. Chloe went to a fun Olympics Opening Ceremonies party at her friend Mia's house. She even got a gold medal! Phoebe volunteered Kory to make dinner for her group for the Sweetheart Ball. Kory made his usual Sunday dinner and Lynette and Monica provided salad, rolls, and dessert. Phoebe...
