Snow on the 25th. Addison's Birthday.

 We got a little bit of snow on Monday night while we were getting ready for Addison's basketball games.  It was coming down really good and fast.  The boys wanted to go out and play in it, but we were heading to basketball so I  told them tomorrow morning they could.  It snowed a little through the night and was so cold the next day it stuck around. By the second day our side of the street was all melted.  It was fun while it lasted.  Also, the boys didn't last to long in it.  They do not care for the cold nad didn't have the proper gear to last to long anyway.

Keeping Landon busy...

Landon loves to play.  He, however does not like to play alone or without an adult or older sibling.  Since it's just him and me for most of the day I get to come up with a lot of things to keep him busy.  Or really he comes up with the stuff and I  just have to go along with it. He has gotten into playing guns since most of his sports are outside and it's too cold to go out there for to long.  I  got sick of playing build forts and shoot the darts at mom, so we try and make targets to practice on.  We've used paper plates, magnet blocks, paper, and my personal favorite pans.  This keeps him busy for quite some time.  Man I  can't wait for it to get warmer so we can last a little longer outside.

 

Brecken and Addison's Rec Basketball comes to an END!

Brecken and Addison Finished out there rec season strong.  Breckens team kept getting better as well as Brecken.  He had a great year and played amazing.  He was a great shooter and defender.  Loved watching him grow and learn the game.  Addison's team struggled with enough players becasue of covid.  We were always down a player it seemed like, but they held their own and lost by 2 in the semi final championship tournament.  She has loved basketbnall and still has her club sesason left.  Then she will have to decided if she want to put forth the effort to get better to play high school.  

 

MLK Day!

Dean had MLK day off as well as the kids so we went out shopping and hanging out as a family.  The girls could shop for hours just like their dad...I'm more of a hour type shopper.  Addison might be more like me too, but when she is with Shaylee she tends to get more excited about things.  We found this cute HOPE sign in the mall and the girls wanted me to take their picture by it.  After we hit up the mall, target, TJ maxx, Old Navy, and Dicks we got Durangos and Chick fil a for dinner and meet Preston at home for a movie and dinner.  Preston had golf or something so he couldn't go with us. I  took these pictures of Preston because he was in the fetal position apparently cold.  He's always cold. It was a fun relaxing day just spending it with family. My favorite.

 

Great Weather means Park day.

We had some beautiful 60 degree weather in January.  We took advantage of it and went and let the boys play at the park with a friend.  Brecken was trying to make it through all the monkey bars without falling.  I  took some pictures on his last monkey bar.  He made it through 4 of them.  Love Southern Utah weather.

 

High School Basketball

Shaylee has had a great basketball season so far, and it getting some good playing time.  Which makes it fun to watch.  She usually plays wing, but has had to step down for post a few times because one of their posts got hurt. So it's been a good learning experience for her.  She has a great looking shot and is loving playing with her friends.  We are halfway through the season and they have only lost 2.  We are hoping to get both of those back because one we lost on a last minute shot.  Its so fun to watch Shaylee play at a high school level.

 

Landon dentist trip

This kid is one in a million.  He keep us on our toes and never stops from sunup to sundown.  He loves being my little sidekick during the day, but as soon as dad is home he goes running...and doesn't leave his side all evening.  He had a dentist apt this last month and did great.  I  didn't have to go back with him and I  could hear him talking to the cleaning lady about how he hates brushing his teeth, and he continues to tell her his mom makes him do it and then my mom has a turn to do it as well.  The cleaning lady told him that was awesome and to keep up the good work. Landon then said ya my mom will always make me do it, I  cant handle it.  lol.  This kid cracks us up with the stuff he comes up with.
