Having fun with SDR

We love having so much time with Daddy! When he isn't at school, work, or mutual, we try to get out of the house as a family as much as possible. 

Took a snowy drive up through Sundance at Provo Canyon. It was unbelievably beautiful. I love taking pictures of Dan taking pictures.

We were pretty content to have no more snow after Christmas, but this winter decided to be the snowiest in over 30 years (it's finally all gone now), but we still managed to enjoy it as much as we could. 

We spent one day making this suuuuuper creepy family of snowmen. Little tiny baby rad was a favorite for the kids to make. (And that giant black bar is not part of dans snowman, it is part of our house haha)

How cute is Dan? This is how he has decorated his side of the bed. With all of Stori and Sylvie's card/crafts for him. The girls color him probably 3 new cards a day, but we try to filter out the more meaningful ones. The one with the house is an "I'm Sorry" card Stori made for Dan after she didn't pick up her toys when he asked her. The little card by it was her Christmas present to him--she wrote and illustrated a story for him. Top and bottom left are birthday pictures, and the shark is just a shark. :) 

I let Dan sleep in one Saturday morning, and Stori had climbed up in bed with him and fell back asleep as the little spoon haha. She was probably mid-scratching his back when she fell asleep. She usually wakes us up in the mornings by scratching our backs and asking to check the weather on my phone.

Dan plays slap-jack and memory with Stori every night, and one day I walked in on Stori teaching Sylvie slap-jack and letting her slap all of the jacks followed by, "Sylvie you are such a smart little girl! You are so great at slapping the jacks!" :)

this last Saturday was Sunny AND 55* so we took to the Provo River trail for a little 3 mile walk. We parked over by our old condo (that our kids still talk about as their favorite place to live) and did the trail that we did daily 2 years ago. It was fun not having to push them in a stroller because they are big enough to do it all on their own. We packed a picnic, and let the kids go at their own pace. They stopped to climb a few different trees along the way.

It's really fun to climb those trees.....

...until you realize you have no idea how to get down haha

Stori as a cheetah

^Stori wanted to take a picture of us by the waterfall, but didn't get the actual waterfall l in the picture. she looked at this picture right after she took it and said, "hmmm well that's not a great picture of you guys." Haha she is so right, it is an awful picture.

Stori and Sylvie were so excited to see the ducks that we used to feed all the time. They even gave them half of their lunch. 

After the walk, we headed to Macey's for some ice cream cones, and then Dan and I had Cafe Rio for dinner after the littles were asleep. It was such a fun day together.
