Meet Hermit Cheetah

16th Wedding Anniversary

Kurt and I went out to dinner and then for a {cold} walk around the temple. 

And we came home to this:

Adventures of Olivia

Olivia has been begging to play soccer. It finally worked with our schedule for her to play indoor at the rec center. She had a great first game!

Adventures of Jolie

Conquering the diving boards in one day

Adventures of Sophie

I'm being eaten by a grizzly bear!

Cupid's Undie Run. Lots of fun with great friends. 

I am wearing underwear. 

And my awkward adult onesie pajamas. 

Deer

We have had so many deer in our yard the last month. Maybe it's all the same deer. I don't know. But, as a result my kids have taken so many pictures of deer in our yard this month and I find them on my phone. Do I really want to save hundreds of pictures of deer? No.

This last week the snow melted, our backyard is a marsh, and covered in piles of deer poop. Yuck. BUT! The sun is shining. The birds are back too! So that's awesome. 

Valentine's Party

I like to host a Valentine's Party every year. The kids (and some parents) recite a poem of their choice and then the kids exchange valentines. It's my favorite activity each year.

Dog Adventure

Austin & Nyah have a job walking a neighbor's dog a couple mornings each week. One day they had the opportunity to go climbing with friends, but what to do about Rugby? Olivia, Jolie, & Sophie volunteered to walk Rugby, so they could go play. Everyone had fun.

Someone approves of the new pencil sharpener. 

Homeschool Days: Pets

Utah Business Top Forty Under 40

Kurt received a huge award this week when he was named as one of the recipients of Utah Business top Forty Under 40 for his work as the executive vice president at ASEA.

Mrs. Tweet

With Sophie's help, Mrs. Tweet has taken up residence on top of the fridge. 

Soon there will be a Little Tweet.

George's Grand Adventure

Our windows are set at the perfect height for George to see out. He watches (and barks at) cats and dogs and neighbors and and deer, of course, he always wants to go out and play with them all. 

Pretty please let me out??? 

A couple days after the above pictures, one of the girls let him out and there were some deer in the yard we didn't know about and he did take off after them. So he got his wish. And they apparently didn't feel he was too much of a threat because we found him a few streets away safe and sound.  

Homeschool Days

Doesn't everyone play dress up during math? 

We were trying to get some character shots in the middle of a blizzard, but I refused to go outside. Austin is never happy when we get "Let it Go" stuck in his head. 

Homeschool Days

I love how Olivia & Sophie are playing on the counter in the background. I only told them a dozen-or-so times to "Get off the counter!" I'm not in charge here. Not at all. 

Field Tripping- Provo City Center Temple Open House

The Provo City Center Temple open house goes until March 20th. If you've ever been curious about the inside of LDS Temples this is a wonderful opportunity to see inside. You don't have to reserve tickets ahead of time - standby website - or there is a wonderful online exhibit.
