Field Trip

One thing that I love about the youngest child is that you can participate in field trips and help more in the classroom because there are no little ones still at home. I hurried and turned my paper in and was so happy to be one of two moms to get to go on this field trip to the Nature Center. It was so pretty because it snowed the day before and the animal tracks were fresh and easy to spot because of the snow. Livi was happy to be able to wear a hat and not have to do her hair...the problem is that she is always hot! I should have thought about this and at least put her hair on a pony tail. She was so hot that she had me carry her hat shortly after getting there. She ditched the gloves too, crazy girl!!

Snow angels!

Off to the bus.

Way fun field trip, sooo glad I got to go!

Balloon Hats and Lunch

Lunch was awesome! We ate in the Pope's room at Buca di Beppo, around the huge, round table. We thought it was hilarious as people would come up the stairs and see all these balloon hats and no kids!! As always, when we get together with the Brown's and the Gamble's it is fun, good food and plenty of laughs.

No...I don't think there is anything weird about us walking down the street in Salt Lake with ballon hats!!! What a fun day :)

An officer remembered

I woke up today and had the feeling that I would forever regret not going to the funeral procession for Officer Francom. I decided to let the kids make the decision of whether or not to be checked out of school for it. Livi was so excited, I had told her as much as I could on a 5 year old level and she was pumped! She got herself all fixed up in a dress and tights, she did her own hair and then she sat at the table and made a flag. There was a couple of hours that we sat in the cold and waited, but we will always remember this day!

So proud of her flag.

Flags everywhere!

Thanks for serving our community!

so proud...

We are so proud of Livi and the great job she did on her reflections picture! Although, the trophy didn't go home with us, she did awesome :)

I can't wait until we get it back so that we can show the family! She wanted the trophy so bad...maybe next year.
