March

March was a busy month that went very quickly.  I'm not sure what we did though because we didn't take very many pictures. But here are a few...

Both Mia and Alex love to help in the kitchen.

They also both love to make us take pictures of things they think are cool while eating.  Apparently this chip and grape were picture worthy.  I have tons of these pictures on my phone. 

I can hardly believe it but we took Mia to Kindergarten orientation this month. She is very excited to start!

On one of the few good weather days this month Mia and her friend Ari rode bikes around the neighborhood.  Ari is far ahead in the distance. 

We had super hero day at preschool.  It was so fun!

Sadly this is the only picture I took at Mikah and Max's birthday party. 

I'm not sure what is happening here but I am sure it needs to be documented. 

We had a fun park day with some friends.  It was spring break for some schools so it was a very busy day at the park. 

Mindi took our preschool pictures again this year and again they turned out so cute! 

This month we took the kids to Disney on Ice. Mia loved it ... 

Alex was excited about the snow cone. 

Apparently this is the only picture I took on St. Patricks Day.  This year it was on a Sunday.  I was in the kitchen doing Mia's hair when out came Brandon and said he was ready for church.  I laughed so hard but sadly he really changed before going to church.  

After her cousins got their ears pierced this month Mia decided she wanted to too and wouldn't stop bugging me until we finally took her to Grandpa's to get it done.  This is the before picture... 

and the after.  She was not happy but settled down pretty quickly.  She also loved going to the store to pick out earrings that she will get to wear in six weeks. 

Here is the video of the first ear.  She held it together for just a second and then burst into tears.  

Jr. Jazz

Alex completed another season of Jr. Jazz this winter.  He had fun and got better every game.  It didn't hurt that he was on a great team. Despite the early start times he had a great time! 

February

February was a snowy, cold but fun month.  Alex spent most of the month off track so we tried to do lots of fun things.

We went with some friends to try Dave and Busters.  It was a lot of fun!  Brandon tried out the virtual reality game. 

Early in the month we went with Brandon's family to the Ice Castles in Midway.  First, we stopped at the Dairy Keen for dinner.  

The Ice Castles were very cool all lit up at night.  It was pretty busy but the kids had a lot of fun!

We got so much snow this month.  One of the days it snowed so much that they even cancelled school.  It was awesome because I got to cancel preschool too but Alex was already off track so it wasn't as cool for him.  Brandon didn't go to work so we had a good time hunkering in for the day.  

The next day I took the kids sledding.  It was almost too powdery to sled but it was fun!

Also, this month Brandon and Alex went ice fishing up in Logan with Trevor, Mikah and Max.  Alex had so much fun!

Proof of the good time he had!

We celebrated a great Valentines Day this month.  Brandon nailed it with donuts, clothes, flowers and even an amazing homemade card.  

The kids and I spent the day at High Jump having a lot of fun!

A few days later Brandon and I went out to eat to celebrate.  We had to document our booth at the Cheesecake Factory.  It was the only time we haven't been squished up against someone else there. 

Alex's last Blue and Gold Banquet was this month. They did a carnival.  Our kids thought it was very cool!

Alex and Mia wanted to do one more fun thing before Alex went back on track so we headed downtown to Discovery Gateway.  They loved it! 

At the end of the month Alex and Brandon went with friends to a Jazz game for Jr. Jazz.  They even won!
