Sledding, Toby's potty success, and High School Musical Jr.

Alice was in the same High School Musical cast as some of her best friends.
Grace and her friend Talise went to the Ogden temple on their day off school.
Grace and Paul had to go to a drivers ed presentation on Zero Fatalities.
Cozy Charlie.
Just the girls. And a photobomber.
There we go.
Charlie wants to grow his hair big.


It snowed more this week.

Alice cashed in a coupon from Grace to borrow her clothes one day.
Attempting the 300-piece puzzle Toby requested. They didn't get very far before he lost interest.
Sending Grace encouragement at her choir concert.
We played in the snow at the church.
Toby was finally willing to wear snow pants and boots, and enjoy the snow with us!









He LOVED sledding!


Alice and I went to Grace's second choir concert of the night.

I helped out at the dress rehearsal for the school musical. Alice was the science teacher and Charlie was a basketball player.


At the eye doctor with Grace.
It snowed again, and Toby wanted to play in the backyard.





I went on a birding drive with Toby. The swans are back!

We got out the Easter stuff.


After a traumatic 11 hours of holding it, he finally let it go and got his potty prizes!
