March 3, 2024 We've had a few seasons in this single week. On Leap Day it was over 50 degrees and I got in the garden to loosen up the soil and put in some fertilizer to get that prepped for later. Addie spent time outside singing her heart out. She was just prancing around on the trampoline lost in her world. Greyson walked Dick and Kathy’s dog for 50 cents and he, Opi (the dog), and Kas were all very tired after their long walk to the lake. On Saturday a winter storm moved in with blasting winds and ice!  The Purple Dragons Coach and boy Hinckley asked for the diving brick from the lifeguard himself this week when we did our swim sessions. He loves to drop it in the deep and dive down and push up to the top. His swimming is looking pretty good. He has been asking me where the term "o.k." comes from and we watched a cool YouTube video that breaks down the history. It is really interesting!

January 28, 2024 This week we celebrated Greyson's six years! He was a little under the weather but not enough to miss school or celebrations, he was just a little more subdued than normal. He got his requests for french toast in bed in the morning, mac and cheese in the bath for lunch, and nachos in the evening. It was fun to have Nana and Grandpa come over and hear of their MTC reflections as they prepare to leave for Germany on Monday. Greyson was excited about a Scooby-Doo shirt and costume he got, a Grinch card game (and cake), and a Michael Jordan poster too. He and I are going to see the Jazz play in a couple of weeks as well so he had a great day. Greyson went with Kassie to her check in with the midwives and did really well. He helped find the baby’s heart beat and got to feel the baby’s feet/leg kicking. Kassie said it was really good to have him there so I’m glad that worked out. He is reading up a storm and progressing to 1st grade books. He read nearly half of Green Eg

December 30, 2023 We had a memorable Christmas in Lehi. On Christmas Eve the kids and I went down to Provo and enjoyed a walk/hike in the rocks and trails at the foot of Y Mountain. We had a delicious southern breakfast feast Kassie made in commemoration of our trip to Charleston earlier this year. It included Pimento cheese on biscuits with eggs and grits. We watched The Shepherd and opened ornament gifts. Going to bed that night we caught Greyson trying to sneak down to see if the gifts were out. Christmas morning everyone was happy with their various gifts and candy for breakfast. They immediately set about working on Lego creations, playing basketball, and watching Space Jam . We enjoyed having Mom and Dad over for Christmas dinner, and we played one of the new games we received with them which was really fun.
