January Happenings

 

We have been having a pretty good January.  We got some popcorn from the movie theater and Allie was eating it while watching a show on her tablet.  She was definitely living her best life that afternoon.  I thought it was adorable.  

Tony and I were invited to go to a Jazz game with one of his vendors from work, and his wife.  We met them for dinner first at Los Garcia and then we went to the game with them.  The seats were on the 9th row from the court.  They were the best seats we have ever had, and it was so awesome.  They were a fun couple to go with and we had a great time!

Tyler has been officiating indoor soccer and last Saturday I took a picture of him helping the little kids.  I was there with Allie for her tumbling, and it was fun to watch Tyler with the little kids.  He has really enjoyed this job and it has been perfect for him.

I snapped a picture of all the kids on the couch playing their computers.  It was a funny site.  The kids like to be in the front room with mom and dad and they enjoy playing their computers together.  It is always so nice to spend quality time together as a family, even if the kids are on their computers.  Family time is the best time!

Hair Cuts

I have been wanting to get the girls hair cut for the longest time, so I finally took them in and got it done.

Megan really wanted to go even shorter than she did, but I told her we needed to leave it a little longer so that we can still pull it back into a ponytail.  

We mainly just wanted to trim Allie's hair and keep it looking healthy.  They both did a good job and look amazing.

Dog Days of Winter

 

Josh and Allie have been getting a lot of doggie snuggles lately.  I think that Koda totally looks annoyed in the picture with Josh.  The kids loved putting a blanket on Koda and snuggling with him.  After Josh got up, Koda got right up too.  He is such a silly grandpa dog.

Because of my fractured foot, I am not supposed to walk too much.  That means no walking for exercising.  I was looking for an exercise bike to use for my workouts, and Margie offered to let me use her bike.  Tony took the boys and picked it up and it is now down in the office by the treadmill.  I have used it a handful of times, and it has been really good.  I do feel better when I get a workout in.

I am also supposed to exercise my shoulder to help with my arthritis and needed to find our exercise band to do some of the exercises.  Megan found it and we showed her how to use it.  She wanted me to take her picture of her flexing her big muscles.  So silly.

Volleyball at the Church

Josh wanted to try out for the volleyball team at the Jr. High, so we all went over to the church on Saturday to help him work on some volleyball skills.  He slowly started to figure it out and seemed to have fun.  Megan and Tyler also enjoyed playing some volleyball.  Megan did pretty good.  Maybe she'll want to play in Jr. High too.  Me and Allie kicked around the other volleyball and played with the toys that Allie brought.  It was fun and we all had a good time.  Josh started his try-outs today after school and said that he had a good time.  I guess they'll "practice" for a few weeks before he finds out if he makes the team.

Snow Fun

We have been getting a lot of rain and snow this season.  The kids have been enjoying playing in the snow.  Allie made a sweet snowman.  Tyler and Megan worked on making an igloo, but they made it really big so all they had was a large circle.  They did go sledding at the elementary school and had fun, but I didn't go with them.  I stayed back with Allie so that she could finish her snowman.  I love the snow and I am so glad that we are finally getting a good amount here.
