These past few months have been so crazy. It's hard to know how to catch up.
This was Lydia's first time wearing curlers! I remember my mom putting the same type of curler in my hair every Saturday night when I was little. Lydia loved it. I thought they'd be hard for her to sleep in but it wasn't too bad.
They worked so great! Lydia's hair is really fine and thin so I was skeptical but I give these curlers 5 stars out of 5.
Allie gave me this face after I told her it was time to put her helmet back on.
Having our scripture time before bed.
Morning snuggles. Loren is the best and gets up with the girls early in the morning so I can sleep in a little.
Another cold, snowy day called for fruit loop necklaces.
Sarah came down to watch a trial with Loren at the Court. She stopped by for awhile afterwards, much to Lydia's delight. They had fun dancing to Moana.
Lydia was being really quiet in her room for a long time one morning so I snuck in to see what she was doing. She had read almost all the books on her shelf! Lydia absolutely loves reading. We could read for hours and hours. One of the highlights of the week is going to the library to pick new stories. Lately she especially looks forward to more Thomas the Train stories.
A couple weeks ago it was 50 degrees! We decided it was a good time to stop by the park. While we were there we ran into our friend, Isabel. We've watched Isabel a few times while her mom has class. She's a cutie.
Lydia's new thing is ignoring me or pretending like she doesn't hear me. It's been driving me bonkers! One day I made her a "good listener" chart. It's worked wonders! She's much more obedient which makes me a happy momma. Lydia filled up all the boxes on her chart which meant we got to go get chicken nuggets! What a happy day.
For Aaron's birthday Lindsay made these AMAZING tarts. They were as delicious as they looked.
Oh the Bar. For the past 10 months it's been on our minds, stressing us to no end. The past two months have been especially brutal with Loren locked in the room downstairs, and me trying to keep the girls quiet and out of his hair. It's been a long, lonely, stressful and mind-numbing ride. Thankfully the court gave Loren two weeks off work to majorly study. I'm not sure he could have done it without that. The night before the Bar, Loren needed a break so we went to Pei Wei for dinner. It was delicious!
Even Lydia loved it.
We thought Loren's fortune was right on the money.
The girls were so happy to finally get some quality daddy time. Loren and Lydia played "train tracks" in the snow.
They built our first snowman of the season.
Since Loren had a date with his books on Valentines Day, he told me we'd be really celebrating the day after the Bar. So when he came home after the Bar, he came bearing gifts! I'm quite the lucky girl. Flowers, bath bombs and dry shampoo. He knows me well.
Happy people!
I got some huge news from my mom a couple weeks ago. My parents are moving! They've decided to build a home in Nibley next to my grandparents and three uncles. It's been kind of a shock since it's all happening so fast but I'm so excited for them. We made some wonderful memories in our home of 16 years, but change is good too. It's already shaping out to be quite an adventure for them, trying to fix up and sell the house while making plans and building their new one. It's going to be a very busy next few months.
I signed Lydia up for swimming lessons and soccer. Swimming starts March 13th and soccer starts the middle of April into May. I'm so excited! It should be fun.
Thank you all for supporting Loren and I through these past few months. We've felt strength through your prayers and thoughts. We have the most wonderful family and friends.
