Saturday Olympic adventure-ice skating

Out of order pic to prove I went ice skating. 

All the kids enjoy ice skating (miracle!!!) so each winter we try and go a couple of times. Since the Olympics are this month, we decided to do ice skating to "prep" for it ha ha. We went to the one in West Valley. 
 

Compared to when we went in Idaho Falls after Christmas, MUCH less people which was really really nice. 

Liam learned how to skate backwards so that was pretty cool. He and Collin are definitely the best ice skaters in our family. But I got significantly fast at my "mom" speed before we left. 

Look! Sibling helping! Another miracle!

Adeline is getting pretty good too. 

It was a fun hour and a half of adventure. Then we came home and watched Olympics instead of a family movie night. I LOVE watching Olympics. 
 

Boomerang's new cage, therapy, temple, art, and more

 Collin and Liam started setting up the table and Boomerang's new cage. 

Evelyn went to therapy and worked on how to hold a jump rope.

Evelyn and I started going once a month to do baptisms before school. She really wants to go every week, but I told her twice a month will have to work for now. I'm so happy she loves going to the temple already. 

Adeline's class sang in the roar assembly. 

Adeline's art class the first Tuesday in February. 

We were ALL super EXCITED for this great news for Sadee and Adam. Baby coming in August!

And Adeline was SO loaded up after her Valentine party at school. Seriously, it was almost as bad as Halloween ha ha. 

Saturday adventure Great Big Game Show!

The last Saturday in January we did a new adventure and went to the Great Big Game Show. It's a place at the Fashion Place Mall and you do a bunch of little games and compete in teams. 

This is a big turnstile they have outside the game rooms. It was fun to spin.

I thought originally we would be our family against other people, but since it was just the six of us at our time slot we just divided our family into teams. In hindsight, I think we would have had a little less intensity with some members of our family if we were all combined against the other team, but it was what it was. 

Blue team! Or if I remember right we were blue. 

Red team!

This was a fun game with these huge pencils you had to write with.

We liked this guessing game a lot. And they had fun big dice you had to roll. 

There was also a game where you had to guess certain categories like "name an animal" and it was the most popular answers. 

There was a game where you had to spin the wheel.

This was a fun "plinko" game. It reminded me of the price is right ha ha.

Red team won. But we all had fun, even though some family members were ultra competitive :)

 Thanks Great Big Game Show! Hopefully we can come again and play the other games. 

Adeline art, Hale theater, ward party and spring break reveal

Out of order pic. This was Adeline's most recent art project at art class. I was SO impressed with her drawing skills. She told me she does NOT like to draw flowers though :(

Her new pink glasses came and it was so exciting! No more scratches!

For Christmas, the padres gave our family tickets to the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang youth production at Hale. It was in their new Beehive theatre which was so pretty. It was a fun show. We all agreed not our favorite, but the casting and scenes were excellent. I love how they put so so much into the youth productions.

Books and buddies at Vista last week. 

Adeline's self portrait from art class. 

We started back up piano again. She was so frustrated that we took a couple months break over the holidays. We have some catching up to do but maybe she will be more excited about it.

Reveal for our fun Orlando spring break trip.

We had a ward party of game night and treats. They had this fun bubble area for kids. Adeline blew some REALLY big bubbles!

Hard to see, but this was huge!

Liam won his board game. 

From Christmas 2024, the padres got us and Sade and Adam tickets to Frozen at the Hale. It was AMAZING! The production and stage design and technology was the best I have ever seen. They did SO much with the scenery and props. WOW! I think this was one of the best shows I have ever seen there, if not the best. 

Adeline and her most recent favorite dress. 

Evelyn has been putting her hair up again all by herself. I thought this was impressive for her!
