school walks

Majestic Mountaineers. What a cool school mascot. can't wait to actually explore the mountains here.

We walk to pick up Stori from School everyday, and i'm pretty sure it is the highlight of Georgias day. The second she sees her fluffy bunny suit, she starts squeezing and laughing. She knows it means a walk outside is coming!

We get to pet horses on our way home, and the girls love walking "the secret pathway" home. All it is, is a little drainage pipe that goes across a pretty little stream. But they take that path while I walk on the sidewalk haha. they like to think they are independent, and don't need me i guess.

They kinda still love that little girl a little bit.

^^this pic makes me laugh for how straight up Georgia is sitting. haha

^^tight-rope walking.

a couple of weeks ago, Stori got to dress up like one of her favorite characters from a book... She chose Fancy Nancy. which is hilarious to me, because you can't even tell she is dressed up. She has 2 skirts and a dress on, 3 necklaces, 4 sparkly hair pieces, and a little red lipstick. Honestly, this is how she dresses daily. But she loved it, and told me she looked felt just like Fancy Nancy all day. soooo WIN!

evenings outside.

We found the coolest park a couple of evenings ago. It is right by Smith and Edwards, and the highlight was the kids zipline (that dan and I also got to enjoy). the weather has been great these last 2 weeks, so we have been outside every single day until bedtime. It's  kinda tricky because 65* weather feels super hot, right up until it doesn't haha. If the sun goes behind a cloud, or a tiny breeze picks up, then it feels pretty chilly. So i have to keep Georgias bunny suit ready. 

We went to get some street tacos in downtown Ogden on monday night for FHE, and once the sun started to go down, we realized that it still isn't quite spring yet. It was so fun to walk to streets of downtown Ogden and see where the show "Everwood" was filmed. (my current hulu show). (My mom and I have this thought...the same guy who did Everwood, also does Riverdale---so we are thinking that he probably lived in Riverdale for the 5 years of filming Everwood, so he used the name of that city to name his new TV show. Just a thought).  I also discovered that Dumb and Dumber, Sandlot, and Fletch were also filmed here. I guess we walk among the stars here in Harrisville. ;)

 Swinging with mama... Loved it!!

I'm only 70% positive that dan ins't using the bathroom on this spinning ride.

^^dan really enjoys parks. haha

you should see our sidewalk and driveway. As of right now, there isn't an inch not covered in glorious artwork. I really love it! It's suppose to rain today though, so we may need to create more tomorrow.

my statues at the old police station in downtown. right next to the amazing street tacos.

just at the little park by our house

^^the most flattering family picture.

^^i'm also confused. And Georgia likes Diet Coke a lot. I started putting it in her bottle at nights.... JOKES! don't turn me in. She's never even tasted the stuff.

3 blessed nephews

I became an aunt at the age of 9, and have been hooked from day one. My little nieces and nephews are just the cutest.  The first week of march, I had 3 nephews blessed on the same day. in total, I have 38 nieces and nephews + 1 great nephew.

All the way in California, Radford and James got blessed. look at their little outfits! 😍 They belong to dan's sister Kristen. The poor kids have to grow up in beautiful SoCal. ha

A bit closer to home, little (BIG) Theodore got a sweet blessing. See the tie-matching daddy-baby duo? 😍. Emmy was my very first niece, and it's so crazy that we are having babies at the same time. And crazy that theodore is my GREAT nephew. Man that makes me sound sooo old!  ha.
They live in downtown SLC, so we made the short drive there. The roads were AWFUL, and we saw so many accidents on our way there. Once we got there, the congregation was pretty much just my family. turns out that they had actually canceled the rest of church that day because of the snow. so that's why it was just my family ha.

this little georgia belle is almost the same size as little Theodore. I wanted a picture of them together, but didn't get a chance. I bet he towers over her in no time. ;)

cousins

We got to meet baby Evelyn (Jon and Joss's baby), and my kids were in heaven! Dan took her newborn pictures up in our bedroom, and they turned out so cute!!

my baby is HUGE compared to 1.5 week old Evie!

We had Josh's family come and stay a night at our house, and again... our kids were in heaven playing with them. All the kids played dress ups, hide n seek, cards, art, movie night, and a bunk bed sleepover!

^^I'm sure i took a better picture than this of them all dressed up haha. But little Georgia is even in a little mermaid dress up... and lexi in a 5T mermaid outfit. :)

^^notice how many feet are piled on poor Avary! haha

A very christmasy scene in March.

hanging with papa on one of our day trips to idaho

a bit outside

We took a quick day trip to Provo to hang out with friends and to also run a few errands. Well Dan ended up having the car for A LOT longer than planned, so I hauled these 3 (carrier included because we were at a friends house and they needed to head out of town, so I had that and no stroller) to the park and around the streets where we used to hang out. It was so sad seeing our cute little house! Stori cried about it, and Sylvie was angry that someone had stolen our house and demanded we go talk to them to get it back. :) 

Luckily it was almost 60* that day because I was outside for about 2 hours waiting for dan.

then the very next day we had 2 inches of snow fall in our current backyard. We made the "Greatest Snowman," for the radford family snowman. They were apx. 3" tall.

Sadly that was the best snowman we could make this year. I shouldn't say "sadly," though, because we have loved not having snow haha.
