March

We got to meet up with Jon & Jaime and their older kids, and Tom & Lorna to see Les Miserables in SLC. It was a great show!

We also took another trip down to Utah for a BYU basketball game. First we met up with Matt & Melissa at Gourmandisse for dinner:

Some more beautiful pictures from Madiera:

More preschool pics from getting to practicing milking:

We got see Eli in another Youth Orchestra concert:

I loved this beautiful selfie Natalie took:

I also got to go to Natalie's voice recital which she did amazing at:

Eve got to go on a field trip to see some animals:

I got to go in to Eve's preschool to do some Pi Day activities. Some of them were a little rough with pre-schoolers but it was fun to be there with the kids:

Eli had his middle school musical performances. They did awesome! I loved their version of the Lion King:

Evidence of our Pi Day pie:

Eve went through the rite of passage of cutting her own hair. Somehow, she did it amazingly well and just gave herself some sideswept bangs:

Pretty cute, right?

I like her cute drawings: 

Also her signs, like this one:

"No More Youtube" :)

She got to see the puppies at my RS Presidency meeting at the Widmans house:

We got out to Top Golf for spring break:

It was a great month!

We went to a fun gathering at the Doughty's hosue with some karaoke and Eve had fun dancing with the little Lee boy:

We had a fun day at Magic Mountain snow tubing. The kids had fun making chains to go down:
We finished off the day with dinner at Scooter's in Twin that was really delicious. I loved this picture of Eve's curly hair after we took her braids out:
Eve loves putting on puppet shows at the library:
Eve had another fun exhibition:

January

We started off the New Year with a snow storm and a canyon hike with Eve before the other kids woke up:
Joe and I got to get away for a night in Boise for our anniversary. We had some really delicious food and got to go to the Boise temple.
We went to the Afghan restaurant of a client of Joe's that was also delicious:
Then we had what I had been craving--Ruth's Chris. It was actually underwhelming so I'm not sure we'll be back. I loved talking about some of memories about the last 21 years.
Making a snowman:
Nate passed his driving test! I rode along and I got a little nervous at parts but he did great. 
Eve loves preschool and playing with her friend Magnus:
Pancake face:
I loved this BeReal from the dentist:
Lizzie got to go on a beautiful hike and I loved the pictures:
Eve got her first hair cut and they made it extra curly and added some sparkle:
Eve started gymnastics class!
Eve fell asleep in the car:
We all love Facetiming Lizzie:
Of course the month finished off with Lizzie turning 20! Thankfully I was able to doordash her some ice cream for her roommates. We missed celebrating with her but loved getting this picture:
