March 8-14: Parties and Birds

March 8.  Saturday was busy.  Abby emptied the bathroom drawers into the sink.

We went to my friend's house for a birthday party for her husband.

Then we had a ward party in the evening.  It was an adults only party.  They had the kids in another room with pizza.  The adults played getting to know you games.  My favorite was the giant version of Jenga.

March 12.  Abby continues to be fascinated with the bathroom sink.

We went shopping for Easter outfits to wear at the family pictures in April.

March 13.  With Kimball at preschool and Abby taking a nap, Stan and I had some much needed Mommy and me time.

We made a "project": paper rockets.

March 14.  Friday was another fun outing with Grandma Hansen.  We went to Tracy Aviary and enjoyed nice weather.

I can't keep Abby out of the bathroom.

March 1-7: Cabbage Heads and Good Weather

Mar 1.  Early Saturday morning I picked up a Bountiful Basket.  The kids turned the cabbage into hats.  Dad joined in the fun too!

Later that afternoon I met my parents and Luke at Burger King for a little fun.

Mar 2.  Sunday morning the kids had a bath before church.

Abby tried on the Burger King crown.

March 3.  On Monday, we had a fun outing to the zoo with Grandma Hansen.  It was such a lovely day with not too many people there.  Abby pointed and giggled at the animals.  It was so fun to see her excitement.  My mom joined us a little later with Emme and Rigby.  We all had a good time.

March 5.  Waning to keep the TV off we made rainbow chains and pots of gold with glitter.  I learned the hard way that you should not hang anything with glitter directly above where you eat.

We also made it to the park for play group--albeit 45 minutes late.  So we enjoyed the sunshine and Abby explored the play ground.

I tried to get Abby to walk to me in this video, I got this instead:

March 6.  The boys started a new basketball class this week.  Bryce is so excited for them that he has taken off work so he can be the one to go with them to class.  They are pretty lucky boys.

February 22-28: Cabin Fever

This was a bit of a slow week.  The boys had colds and fevers so we spent most days cooped up and avoiding other people.  Abby is learning to be as busy as the boys.  She placed a number of magnetic dinosaurs in the drawer under the stove and she found her way into the cupboard with the toilet paper.

February 15-21: Ice Castles and a Baby

February 17.  We were lucky enough to visit the ice castles in Midway on the last day they were open.  The unseasonably warm weather had begun to melt the ice and caused them to close before the end of the month.  Bryce's class got cancelled and he was able to join us at the last minute.  We were so happy daddy could make it.

February 20.  Charlotte's and family welcomed Tilda Beth this week.  Such a sweet baby.
