New Store Opening

We got to attend the party for the new store opening in Denton.  Free In-N-Out and we got to see a lot of people we know.  We took all the kids.  Caleb was off getting more to eat when this photo was snapped.

Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day at school, the kids were allowed to take a decorated box.  In Utah, it's a huge deal and practically a competition for the most unique and original one.  Here, my kids were some of the few who brought a decorated box from home.  Jonah's kindergarten class did not allow for home-brought boxes because they decorated paper sacks together at school.  But Eliza (3rd grade) took hers decorated with Ever After High decorations (a book series she enjoys) and Travis made his to look like a football field and painted the players to look like the Dallas Cowboys.  Thankfully, I had the football decorations already for a cake I had made for Caleb several years ago.  They were both happy with their boxes and glad that they had made them.

Fun Park Day

We didn't have a lot going on, so when Paige and Kaori invited me to go to the park with them, I decided, why not?  So we met them at Olde City Park.  It was only us three moms plus Autumn, who is almost two, Annmarie and Nathan, and Nozomi, who is about eight months old.  So not a lot of activity.  Autumn and Annmarie played a little bit.  Nathan loved the swings. 

Mom Has Fun Too!

Every once in a while, Mom has a fun idea.  This time, while Dad was out of town, we pushed the table into the living room and I let the kids watch TV while they ate.  What were they watching?  Why, Home Improvement!  A favorite show of mine from the 90's.  Sometimes Mom can be fun too!

Band Concert

Westley had a band concert.  Corey was out of town and I didn't want to leave Caleb in charge for so long, plus I thought it would be good for him to watch the concert, since he is also in band.  So I hauled all of the kids to the concert with me.  It wasn't the greatest experience, and, as you can see, I didn't even get any pictures of Westley playing his trumpet (or even holding his trumpet).  But I can now say that I have taken all of the kids to a school band concert for their sibling. 

Eating Lunch at Daddy's Work

Eating lunch at Daddy's work is always fun.  We love to go visit him at work and grab a bite to eat and show off the cuteness of our kids.  Nathan loves In-N-Out fries.

Fowles Girls Trip 2017

I got to escape for a few days and go to Arizona to meet up with the Fowles girls.  Unfortunately, Eve got sick and couldn't come, but Paige, Kaori, Allison, Mom and I had a blast.  Dad joined in on the fun.  I was able to meet my friend Lindsey for breakfast and my friend Shar drove me to the airport.  We had a great time all together.  We went out to Tortilla Flats, had a spa day, played cards (Phase Ten), and celebrated Allison's fortieth birthday.  I can't wait to do it again and hope that we can make it a yearly activity.
