Winter activities

Winter is always kind of boring being stuck inside. We tried to take the kids to do a few fun things to feel like they got out and about. We went swimming, to movies, rock climbing, the Children's museum, and the Museum of Natural History.

Valentines Day

Nate and Aspen eating fondue.

We had a really fun Valentines Day. I was super sick being pregnant. But I pushed through it and went a little crazy this year. I heart attacked the kids door with hearts everywhere. On each heart I wrote something I loved about them. They were so excited. We spent forever reading every ones hearts. It was so fun. Then they ran to the table to see what cupid had left for them. They were spoiled. I made them a huge breakfast. Pancakes died red and eggs and juice. Then we had a wonderful lunch. And last we had a fancy dinner ending in fondue. The kids loved it. We had all kinds of fruit, angel food cake, and marshmallows. It was so yummy. Then I had to spend the next two days in bed from working so hard. But it was worth it.



Grandma also came a few days before Valentines and helped them decorate cookies and make Valentine cards. They were so into it.

The Holidays, fostering, college, mission, and trips

 The Holidays are approaching fast, and here we are again facing them with 4 extra precious girls. I have been pretty emotional the last two...
