Look at me, another blog post in the same year in which the events occurred! How amazing. Before you die of shock, let's look at some fun pics, shall we?
We had so, so, so much snow this year! This picture doesn't really show well enough how deep this snow was. It was easily up to my knee, and anytime it melted a bit below that, more snow dumped to replenish it. This was also the first winter that I had a metal plate in my foot. It was strange to realize that the pain I was feeling when it got really cold was the plate getting cold inside my foot. So weird!
The girls got new (to us) beds! Since we moved in to our house we had a gigantic bunk bed/dresser/bookcase/desk combo. It was massive and neither girl liked sleeping on top, so it was time for it to go.
We were excited to meet baby Charlie! (Daughter of the girls' cousin Josh)
The girls also have been getting more and more excited about being super healthy. They love to get dressed in their exercise clothes and do Cosmic Kids Yoga, and they were also excited when we got a new, shiny blender so we can do lots more healthy smoothies.
And create beautiful smoothie bowls!
I was lucky enough to go on the 3rd grade field trip to the Museum of Natural Curiosity. So exhausting, but so fun!
Some silliness...
Princess was able to start a parkour class this year. She had a ton of fun learning to do cartwheels, handstands, and flips. She's also super good at it!
Marquis got a new ride! This sweet man let us sell his last motorcycle a few years ago to help get us in to our house. We promised that the next year he would get to have another one, but then we sent me back to school instead for my health coach certification. Each year since there has been something else get in the way, and this selfless man let us keep putting it off, even though he really, really, really wanted another bike. Then finally! This isn't the best pic of the bike, but his smile says it all!
Princess's animal report in school was on zebras, and she was excited to read it to us.
We went back to see the Alton Brown Live Show again. Best date night ever!
Crepes with family for LDS General Conference:
Mommy daughter date to the movies:
I was able to teach some classes at the Utah Home Show this year. It was super fun, I loved it!
More baby Charlie:
And then the Easter Bunny came!
We got this for Christmas, it's called a raclette grill and it's so super fun! You cut up a bunch of veggies and potatoes and cook them with some lunch meats on the top, and then melt cheese in the little trays below to put over the top. It's a super yummy, fun, easy meal!
First grade field trip was more exhausting than the third grade one, but it was very worth it to be with this cute face! The zoo was a ton of fun.
I keep getting better and better at this whole garden thing, and the rewards are awesome. I love that my girlies will walk through the garden and graze on lettuce, kale, cherry tomatoes, etc.
We also got an upgraded chicken coop. For anyone thinking of getting chickens, it is worth it to make your coop and not buy it! Just go for that, don't waste time like we did!
Sweetheart had a dance recital in May and did an absolutely beautiful job. She also got a trophy that she loved so much that she just might have slept with it for a few nights.
I love these people so much. Life is incredibly good!
