Wrestling, a visit from Grace, and the 12 days of Valentines


Charlie's finished lego creation.
And Toby's.
Partially frozen pond in Farmington Bay.
Our herons are back!
He made a lego vase for his lego flowers.
And a holder for all his lego instruction manuals.
Toby wanted to be in charge of FHE, so he made us a worksheet.
Mexican Sprite in glass bottles.
Grace and her friends went to an anti-ICE protest across the street from the temple.
I really liked the poster she made.
This is the other side. I used her designs on the postcards I wrote to our representatives at a Mormon Women for Ethical Government event I went to that same day.
Grace's instagram.

Alice got glasses for eye strain. She says they really help.


Toby wants us to buy some babies in Boston. The girl is named "Girls".



Charlie's interests.

Wood burning fire on Sunday night.






Quiddler.
I helped at Danny's play practice.
Adobo after her long play practice.
Charlie is loving wrestling, and has tried to teach us some basics. He loves to practice on anyone who's willing.


The theme of the 12 Days of Valentine's this year is: "This is what you married". Paul sends me gems like this everyday, and I LOVE it!!
Initiatories.
Badminton. Danny would play all day everyday if he could talk someone into it.

Toby's been into Just Dance lately. He earns 3 butterscotch chips per song, since we're always trying to wear him out.

Another gem - such a snapshot of an era!
Charlie has to wear sweat pants for wrestling, so we bought some that could match his Well-Dressed Wednesdays look.
Danny's basketball game.


Alice's orientation night at Bountiful High.
Go Redhawks!

Danny at play practice as Mr. Mayor.
I went on Danny's class field trip to the capitol building.



It is just SO gorgeous!











Picture with our state senator, Todd Weiler.
Danny answered some of his government trivia questions correctly:)


This is how you eat a strawberry when you have a loose tooth you're avoiding pulling out.
Temple baptisms.
Playing with Alice's stuff while she was gone to a youth service project.
They helped box up a million meals for the needy. Danny and Charlie came too.


Alice also loved dissecting a rat this week. Yuck!
Little Paul!
Alice and friends at the school Valentine's dance.

Charlie's wrestling gear came - now he's ready!


Meanwhile, Danny was ready to go to a costume fitting.
And Toby wanted to dress up too.





Grace came home for a day! She wanted in on the wrestling action too.








They had a sleepover while Alice was at her YW overnighter.
I have never seen Paul with that much beard before - what a hottie!




Making Toby's Valentines box. He wants it to be an A&W root beer can for some reason?

Alice came back from her overnighter!
Just Dance.
Pics from Alice's YW party in Mantua.



Backyard sibling time.
Paul taught CFM on zion and lifting where you stand. Everyone lifted Toby!

Making mini pizzas.


A few more pics from Alice's party.

Cub scout Paul:)
