Lion King

 Danny and Charlie with the giraffe statues at the zoo.

 And the elephant statue.

 The creek running through the zoo was raging.

 Bear statue. The boys just love climbing on things:)

 Carousel: ladybug and lion cub.

 Letter x day for joy school: x-ray hands.

 Danny really wanted to try on the cat costume. What a sweet little kitten!

 Healthy dinner on Thursday. Around 500 calories.

 All dolled up for Lion King.

 Alice and Grandpa.

 Grace and Grandpa.

 We were so excited to see Lion King!

 The new Eccles theater is really cool.

 Danny's new puddle jumper floatie we bought for going to the beach with the Ruiz.

 Watching the General Women's session with my girls. I really like conference at home!

 Paul being silly taking a selfie in bed.

 The awesome old photo Justin found of us swimming in the trash cans. Justin/Haley, Joel/Whitney, and me.

 Before the Lion King show.

 Matching boys before church last week. Paul ended up changing his tie so he wouldn't look like he was going to play in the symphony.

 Paul helped the boys play up in our apricot on one of the warm days this week.

 The warmth didn't last. This is the view of the snow falling from Paul's office.

 Healthy dinner one night, trying to get the kids excited about fruits and vegetables.

 Our rec center has an ice rink, so Danny got to watch hockey while the other kids were in swim lessons:)

 Pretty girls all ready for Lion King.

 Such lovely sisters:)

 On the top balcony of the Eccles theater with my boyfriend. I love him a LOT and think he is SO handsome!!

 Alice on the balcony glowing over a light:)

 We went through some of Paul's old boxes last night and found this gem: his high school letter sweater from when he was vice president of the drama club. He says he wore it all the time. It still fits, but I told him to go ahead and put it back in the box...

An old mission photo. I've been facebooking with one of our old ward missionaries, so I found this pic of us sitting by each other in the Philippines.

My 35th birthday

 A healthy 200-calorie lunch.

 Homemade chocolate raspberry birthday cake - yum!

Grace and me at her school for Parents and Pastries.

 Charlie LOVES the cushy new bath mats Grandma Terisa got me for my birthday!

 Grandpa Gabe and Alice at her school for the Grand Event grandparent breakfast.

 My 35th birthday.

 Delicious breakfast at Gourmandise: ham/cheese croissant and chocolate mousse cake.

 Birthday cake. Leave it to Paul to put my age in Roman numerals;)

 "Happy birthday to you!"

 Alice's St. Patrick's Day get-up she made at school, as well as the pinch pot she made.

Cozy boy after swimming yesterday.

Nice weather

 Yummy creamy mushroom chicken to break our fast on Monday. (I hadn't added the cream yet.)

 For some reason, these boys were really into the Frozen costumes on Tuesday.

 They finally convinced Ty to be Anna.

 Elsa got a little grumpy after a while;)

 Playing at the big field by the church. Charlie's running up the hill while Grace is rolling down it.

 Baking soda volcano for letter V day at joy school. (And you can see Danny's vegetable page too.)

 Paul went to the temple one night. We have such a pretty one!

 I was SO sick on Friday. I had chills and a fever, so I was wrapped in a bunch of blankets with a cold rag on my head while the boys watched a movie by me. (Paul was doing a skype interview in the next room.)

Moana at the $2 theater in Kaysville! (If you look behind us, you can see Paul's cousins, Kylee and Lexi.)

"Meant to Invent"

 Selfie at our date to Grace's performance of "Meant to Invent".

 Dancing to the California song.

 Grace's teacher is amazing!

 Heading out on our date to the show.

 Paul and Charlie had their date for the next performance.

 Grace as a cowgirl in a vest.

 She came to the lobby to find us during intermission every performance so she could get a little treat to keep her going.

 Grace kneeling in the center, playing an investor. She was in 6 scenes as 4 different characters!

 Charlie getting his energy out after the play.

Cool kids.
