My new favorite picture of these guys- we really are all just obsessed with Walt and think he's the funniest, best thing that has happened to our family! 

March 19

Annie and Walt

The minute Annie wakes up she goes looking or asking about Walt. If he's awake she demands to hold him and if the answer is no, watch out. It's like she can't live without holding him- she falls to ground, crying "why can't I hold him!"

I thought this obsession with him would wear off by now but it hasn't at all! He tolerates her, pretty well but she's getting braver and braver which means I really need to keep an eye on her whether he's awake or not.

More snow

March 6 we woke up to another huge snow storm! Of course, school was canceled for the week. Drew and the boys built an igloo, lots of sledding and lots of board games. 

I'll be honest, I've kind of loved this crazy snowy winter! Having the kids home, baking bread, making soup, it's slowed life down and kept us home all together. Almost makes me want to homeschool:) 

I flew in Saturday to more snow but the roads looked good but church was still canceled Sunday. The kids each taught a lesson. Annie told the story of Jesus and used the felt board. G taught a lesson on tithing. Mac taught about how we can be the Lord's hands by doing service.

Never put a baby above your head right after you feed them!

Surprise! Happy 29th to Nat!!!

While my parents were visits back in January my mom made a comment "how fun would it be to surprise Nat for her birthday" right then we looked up flight from Cincinnati, Houston and Provo. The tickets were super cheap- 60$ one way for direct flights. That night we called rio and Taylor and bought the tickets. 

Leaving snowy Lexington 

I flew out Wednesday den. 28 right in the middle of the massive snow storms. I felt bad leaving drew with the three older kids, snowed in but man it felt good to get away!!! 

Scotty picked me up (Scott now lives with Nat while he goes to ASU getting a masters in sports law) since I was the first to arrive. Got the yummiest Mexican food, and walked around the messa temple. 7o degree weather- amazing!!!! 

Then we picked up mom, Taylor, and Roo and went back to nat's place and waited for her to come back from her run. Scotty was sitting at the table with Walt while we were around the corner. Nat came in and asked whose baby are you holding, looked around the corner and started freaking out. We had pulled off the surprise!!! 

Pool time, eating out, hiking and shopping! 

It was so fun doing a girls (and Scotty) trip.  I didn't realize how much I needed a break from real life and snow until I got AZ.
