March

March is always one of our busiest months of the year and this year was no exception.  We made it through though! 

I just had to document Mia looking like a teenager one day before school.  She is on the countdown until Middle School. 

One day for school they had a "Bring anything but a back pack" day at school.  Alex brought this garbage can and it made me laugh.  

Our camera rolls are still filled with pictures of Ripley! We love her! 

This is the only picture I got from Mikah's birthday party.  Mia and I couldn't make it but Brandon and Alex had a good time. 

It was time for Mia to get her first set of braces and her spacer off.  She was very excited! 

She is so happy to have her mouth back for awhile! Now we just need more of her teeth to grow in.  

Mia got to go to a Utah Gymnastics meet with her friend Charli.  She had lots of fun! 

Ripley loves the Yankess!

Alex is Ripley's favorite.  One day when Alex was gone for the morning Ripley went to nap by his door. 

Track started up for Alex again this month.  It is so hard to get good pictures of it but he is having a good time. 

This year he is running a 4x1 with some friends. 

The first competition/convention of the year was NRG.  It was a long busy weekend but Mia had lots of fun!

Touch ups in the car. 

While we were off at dance all weekend Brandon held down the fort at home. Alex had prom.  We hosted their lunch part of the day.  Alex went with his friend Livy again.  They went bowling, ate pizza at our house, did pictures, dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, Prom at the Capital and then went to a friends house after.  Alex had a ton of fun! 

Mindi was kind enough to take their pictures and did an amazing job! 

The next weekend was time for another solo competition.  This one was Gotta Move.  Mia had lots of family come watch her.  She did amazing and ended up getting first in her category and 3rd overall.  

St. Patrick's day meant some fun treats from the Leprechaun.  Mia tried to wrestle some green onto Ripley but she wasn't having it. 

Another weekend, another solo comp.  This time it was Dare to Dance.  Mia did amazing! 

Next up was Hollywood Dance Jamz.  The first morning she only had one dance so Brandon was able to take her while I taught school.  After she danced they got some lunch and then I was able to join them. 

So many meals eaten on the floor! 

The last Sunday of the month we celebrated Easter at church since Easter Sunday fell on General Conference Sunday.  Mia had a new Easter dress so we had to document it. 

Alex also spoke that week.  He did a great job!
