Waiting for Spring!

After our sunny getaway, we just tried to make ourselves as busy as possible to get through the winter! The boys stayed pretty healthy for the most part, and we were able to have some fun!

We visited Stevo down at BYU and got to see an awesome exhibit of sculptures made our of willows at the MOA!

 My dear mission compy and friend came to visit us with her hubby Michael and their boys. Love any chance to see Angie during their med school adventure!

Angie and her boys!

 Bennett started swim lessons! We had a good time doing lessons at Murray Rec Center with buddy Everett. It was something very fun to look forward to a few times a week!

Practicing good swim form!

 Weekends with Daddy often included a gelato run to Sweetaly. Yes, its freezing outside, but ice cream is always yummy!

What's yo flava? 

We also passed the time with trips to Discovery Gateway! So fun!

We also hit up the petting zoo with Jess, Missy, and Kimmee and all their kiddos! had to redeem that one time the llama chomped on my hair bun. It was much better this time around and the boys had a blast!

 We had a few dinner dates at Daddy's office during the rough work weeks. J and B always love visiting Andy at work!

 Had a fun birthday dinner for Stevo at Famous Daves! We love Stevo's birthday because it means yummy meat and spring is almost here!

Being able to go to the park is a good sign!

My good friend Alese held a forest preschool! Bennett loved it! They would go to a different forest site each week, learn about God's creations, and then work together to build things using things from nature, like shelters! So awesome. Any chance for my boys to be outside enjoying nature, I will gladly take!
