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.

The kids learned a lot this season and despite us getting destroyed most games they seemed to have fun. I got to volunteer at Greyson's STEM day for the kindergarten on Monday which involved manning the bowling station. That meant setting up and re-setting up plastic bowling pins for 2 hours straight as groups of 10 kindergarteners cycled through the stations while gleefully knocking down pins. It was a workout!

He and I also went down the dark slide together. Addie was excited about practicing handstands and other strokes. They are all so eager to have me watch them do things, it is really cute.

Once we discovered the diver's brick that the lifeguards have in their office and allowed him to use he has really loved going swimming. Addie got her new songs for choir this week and is very excited about singing "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka and some other songs. She was eager to share that she may get to do a cartwheel in her next choir concert. She loves gymnastics and was very excited to point out to me how sweaty she got this week. <br /><br />Every day Greyson comes home from school and begins belting out the Scooby-Doo song and starts drawing. He just loves drawing “scary things” so much and is brimming with excitement to share with us. He worked on making another haunted house this week and allowed Addie and Hinckley to contribute gruesome pictures to the walls of the house. His morning and evening fits are a wonder to behold. I think I need to connect with him better. He always loves it when we have "wrestling" time together though he always protests my tickling him. <div><br />On Saturday Addie and Hinckley had their Bright Ideas workshop (STEM stuff at an elementary school on 1-2 Saturdays throughout the school year), so I took Greyson down to Provo. We hung out at the Bean Museum for a bit which was fun to do with just us, and then we went to a BYU community family show. It was bizarre because it was at the old Provo High which is now the Theater and Media Arts building. It was a collision of my worlds and so odd to be back in that building but with BYU stuff hanging on the walls. Greyson seemed to enjoy the show enough to sit through it which was great.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtot587R4oqRGulxtZqk6cCoEIvhe8RLC0bO3S4Dx4cHZLwS1q1C7jtztxGk9jmcZcEy9yFkt0Um9wqZFL__JdUasGQPI7PNJfl3cfa1bntbU7niOqH_URg5TTIioN-XNyZA-H7AWCsFXAGMNrrLB-Fs-7Vrt5KIS_ncVA-rOopBU5aBwt1bDzp7of/s4032/PXL_20240224_170317633.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtot587R4oqRGulxtZqk6cCoEIvhe8RLC0bO3S4Dx4cHZLwS1q1C7jtztxGk9jmcZcEy9yFkt0Um9wqZFL__JdUasGQPI7PNJfl3cfa1bntbU7niOqH_URg5TTIioN-XNyZA-H7AWCsFXAGMNrrLB-Fs-7Vrt5KIS_ncVA-rOopBU5aBwt1bDzp7of/s320/PXL_20240224_170317633.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bean museum play area with Greyson</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgDjco4luTyp51M2v8PGgbqtD5bS8mlSKbUdjzayufY99dW2C2ek-9EU3jwaZm49QabsIseRwaJzIfXC3eScRdYyKzWqTMnDIOtpZOnNc4AKW_6Txpy3FADvWNcBunRBEttfLZPVY99EyIJYjLX0KH5YoDL6Ke-oERLwgEMW-gwJW4BYxBa_jwY_Pf/s4032/PXL_20240224_195916945.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgDjco4luTyp51M2v8PGgbqtD5bS8mlSKbUdjzayufY99dW2C2ek-9EU3jwaZm49QabsIseRwaJzIfXC3eScRdYyKzWqTMnDIOtpZOnNc4AKW_6Txpy3FADvWNcBunRBEttfLZPVY99EyIJYjLX0KH5YoDL6Ke-oERLwgEMW-gwJW4BYxBa_jwY_Pf/s320/PXL_20240224_195916945.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Making sugar cookies with Mom</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFDx1I9hCgNnZPbVe_KR-WJphROPZoJD5Kdwfrqp6I4vVLVdfi8l1lcwUdgkNUPr6JwWUVZ98uxf-VsTENhlIofHIJGjM9bUdFukQ4xOMW-husj9ymjmmrhF8rlOeT_k4gzOeqVeKdWVOD8CgVVKQMe2PfBZZoq_ptol8MjS4fQ7RlD9kSVg0VQIu9/s4032/PXL_20240225_223236161.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFDx1I9hCgNnZPbVe_KR-WJphROPZoJD5Kdwfrqp6I4vVLVdfi8l1lcwUdgkNUPr6JwWUVZ98uxf-VsTENhlIofHIJGjM9bUdFukQ4xOMW-husj9ymjmmrhF8rlOeT_k4gzOeqVeKdWVOD8CgVVKQMe2PfBZZoq_ptol8MjS4fQ7RlD9kSVg0VQIu9/s320/PXL_20240225_223236161.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Visiting Grandma Dally in Provo</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Kassie got access to an online sugar cookie class for her birthday and on Saturday she made some amazing cookies.

In his game Saturday he had three baskets and some rebounds and passes, so despite our team getting beaten pretty soundly he felt good about his game and had a lot of fun.

She had a good parent/teacher conference this week and it was neat to see how far she has come. She loves her gymnastics and has begun to allow me to drop her off at the rec center (rather than come in with her to drop her off) because she "feels so grown up" doing it this way. She and Greyson will still take my hand sometimes when walking through crowded spaces, Hinckley too on rare occasions - all of which gives me a deep thrill and a pang of sadness all at once. We watched Harry Potter 3 on Saturday since she finished that a month or so ago and she was enthralled. <br /><br /><br />Hinckley and I went skiing at Brighton on Friday as the kids were out of school for a teacher prep day. We had some logistical adventures getting up to the resort as parking is a bit of a nightmare. We planned to use the bus system, but that wasn't going well as the buses were all full by the time they came by our stop. Fortunately, a couple from Montreal picked us up. They drove us most of the way up (to Solitude) and then we caught a bus from there. They asked us lots of questions about Utah and the church and it was great to have that conversation with Hinckley there as well. The snow was amazing and we had a great time.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE-8Z4MIVfeOEinY1kCks8DMoAXpCW0Y__j_9nubdFCfnXWBgrMxrKrSGuIrzNKYj8LyoqZj2FwBDKOlH9c9SnJPpqHXa__a38UqRUwA8rVBmxuQ-0QrHZHg4leosyki1kFK6jNfWXjxzAcIW2aa3B5Kru4-hIvGUHcjo51JN13YiUChJOlLDsNKYV/s4032/PXL_20240209_165112877.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE-8Z4MIVfeOEinY1kCks8DMoAXpCW0Y__j_9nubdFCfnXWBgrMxrKrSGuIrzNKYj8LyoqZj2FwBDKOlH9c9SnJPpqHXa__a38UqRUwA8rVBmxuQ-0QrHZHg4leosyki1kFK6jNfWXjxzAcIW2aa3B5Kru4-hIvGUHcjo51JN13YiUChJOlLDsNKYV/s320/PXL_20240209_165112877.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Waiting for the bus at Solitude</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifBENP_MYRvs6FTnyATvMZdi8pqiTvCgF019EGRj9c1UIJ5ky5ZHEZZdahhzgzl_YXd7n5onjoeRUrdGjWGakLb_VmiTjGu74YyNjzGjsntxovtfUzHc1y0AXX655tfdL5PzIRrWJkUzewyMvRXLblQF0Oj6PvRTqQiH_OPmzOmJWNhxJ5Aa0MdQ2z/s3264/PXL_20240209_190622659.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifBENP_MYRvs6FTnyATvMZdi8pqiTvCgF019EGRj9c1UIJ5ky5ZHEZZdahhzgzl_YXd7n5onjoeRUrdGjWGakLb_VmiTjGu74YyNjzGjsntxovtfUzHc1y0AXX655tfdL5PzIRrWJkUzewyMvRXLblQF0Oj6PvRTqQiH_OPmzOmJWNhxJ5Aa0MdQ2z/s320/PXL_20240209_190622659.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hitting the slopes</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilwdqpYq5_LTPalWyizNUX4rIxTF84kL1-GKR5x3kcbjZVtZ9eKkBAg7yVucQ7S_IzyUAZlUH6183XEFm1kUiJO7pF6tHkT5twjgivtw_eb37-lAFbEKTa6aC01mLDQPQx0u6dgIrJwui-2Wd4eeZPreqWBMFxjQc8cz4U1RGmDu0Dt9UXG1Oe5D0w/s4032/PXL_20240209_212644950.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilwdqpYq5_LTPalWyizNUX4rIxTF84kL1-GKR5x3kcbjZVtZ9eKkBAg7yVucQ7S_IzyUAZlUH6183XEFm1kUiJO7pF6tHkT5twjgivtw_eb37-lAFbEKTa6aC01mLDQPQx0u6dgIrJwui-2Wd4eeZPreqWBMFxjQc8cz4U1RGmDu0Dt9UXG1Oe5D0w/s320/PXL_20240209_212644950.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Staying positive while waiting for the bus to go home</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </div>Friday night the Kays kindly hosted our children while Kassie and I spent the night at the Hines Mansion (a B&B in Provo) to celebrate my birthday, Kassie's upcoming birthday, and Valentines, and anything else (the coming baby too haha).

He almost always immediately changes into it after he gets home from school and begins his multi-hour drawing sessions. He is SLOWLY coming around to the idea that we don’t want him surfing the Internet forever trying to find pictures to draw. This week we got some more books on drawing and he found a Halloween Drawing Book he was excited about, “And then I won’t need the computer!”. He still throws fits about it most days though. The basketball season is going ok, we got slaughtered yesterday as the other team had a set of twins that looked like they were 10 years old. It was sort of agonizing to watch them shoot and rebound and then shoot again for about 50% of the game. Greyson made a basket though and was very happy about that. He is likely one of the youngest in the league. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEWjgsixQtKD4Dw5tR0TVj0ggnfBSDVY_EAsAGj694GT2BcJmAR0Ga4ymyCOjuRatsZdmAI-X1YHi3LMJfWw2lbCEgI8EDfpY77y0Lp3vrt-6cUerOcd13pSWayI8T9GmsbIO88kCLOgPgEgux7Ox947_MIEHrLUwG0ESzd4Y95OZNDFyn7SB03Vys/s4032/PXL_20240203_162304682.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEWjgsixQtKD4Dw5tR0TVj0ggnfBSDVY_EAsAGj694GT2BcJmAR0Ga4ymyCOjuRatsZdmAI-X1YHi3LMJfWw2lbCEgI8EDfpY77y0Lp3vrt-6cUerOcd13pSWayI8T9GmsbIO88kCLOgPgEgux7Ox947_MIEHrLUwG0ESzd4Y95OZNDFyn7SB03Vys/s320/PXL_20240203_162304682.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Home Depot crafting Saturday morning</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>While swimming this week Hinckley asked how he could stay underwater longer at the base of the pool without having his lungs full of oxygen (since you float up).

He organized another friend's "battle game" at our house this Saturday and had 5 boys from school come over. They walk around the park having cerebral battles with mythical characters and such. They then came inside when it started raining/snowing and watched YouTube videos about an animated character fighting math problems.

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 Eggs and Ham to me this evening before getting tired out. It’s fun to see him progress, and much in part due to Kassie’s regular support of his learning.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ZsUDxF0LhtGyLPZCraT9WXdm9bXRWKE1Xb7m-q6fig4m-rG1NhTgormJSlPaCqPKhrLubRZzBy2F5rWaRnCzx-uCYNXMUAY1UbMt1ccthbYCp1CbXUzMTppWqSM5na5CxLy12JFGXYet4P-H380gVEMeYH5MovWIEim-VgieB8rOD3ARTY47uUI-/s4032/PXL_20240126_140619221.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9ZsUDxF0LhtGyLPZCraT9WXdm9bXRWKE1Xb7m-q6fig4m-rG1NhTgormJSlPaCqPKhrLubRZzBy2F5rWaRnCzx-uCYNXMUAY1UbMt1ccthbYCp1CbXUzMTppWqSM5na5CxLy12JFGXYet4P-H380gVEMeYH5MovWIEim-VgieB8rOD3ARTY47uUI-/s320/PXL_20240126_140619221.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">French toast in bed for birthday boy</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlvorZzOrh-Ow3_2bY3GIy44ojiNPThls44-u_o1LjOHz_GdmeBh3wE5Iodvuqk-OkKI1xO2BRXCbBlbehXUqiVIq2E4P_1EIz801TgouF0znQQubqoQQ8XRYXAb81KJGT4xvcy41SAAJCBExeTOzrOmdX24NQ0-V_AJWUljolNgEIGgLc7I5G46r/s4032/PXL_20240127_013347964.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlvorZzOrh-Ow3_2bY3GIy44ojiNPThls44-u_o1LjOHz_GdmeBh3wE5Iodvuqk-OkKI1xO2BRXCbBlbehXUqiVIq2E4P_1EIz801TgouF0znQQubqoQQ8XRYXAb81KJGT4xvcy41SAAJCBExeTOzrOmdX24NQ0-V_AJWUljolNgEIGgLc7I5G46r/s320/PXL_20240127_013347964.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Scooby boy</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_axMWAw_VaWOam3pHfBqcCA9UiGZ9MVgB7-dwEl023AHSxqFkFcEvCYYcEP3iSoteCuoTpHcdj9KCZQpj4mN0gI8jIDLDvRvKwPfeA7nadSCcwnh94jRT3pc4yAJObOwNI8UudCeWUzls6DAK2jZyTDZ23ULVswW0PP3TjhzDhxlNYiPL8iUdtEsa/s4032/PXL_20240127_011619508.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_axMWAw_VaWOam3pHfBqcCA9UiGZ9MVgB7-dwEl023AHSxqFkFcEvCYYcEP3iSoteCuoTpHcdj9KCZQpj4mN0gI8jIDLDvRvKwPfeA7nadSCcwnh94jRT3pc4yAJObOwNI8UudCeWUzls6DAK2jZyTDZ23ULVswW0PP3TjhzDhxlNYiPL8iUdtEsa/s320/PXL_20240127_011619508.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">6 years old!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh57qZ4t2ll57s6ECsFLAWLz_6b1-iYBBCPJ3unyq_4T2rsgmthZXWVHXF_-D_C7i5Z6GU6HbDYseL1SOS3doCTpiaK7BvOvBCfi0rbYn_GmFysiNA-6YtPzs_9WrbAQNlRtMYBjA-00f4qTVD3Qzxq_DZaPYw1k7NdTkv7SkSeVj1E3vix9F2F7YpF/s4032/PXL_20240127_011102083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh57qZ4t2ll57s6ECsFLAWLz_6b1-iYBBCPJ3unyq_4T2rsgmthZXWVHXF_-D_C7i5Z6GU6HbDYseL1SOS3doCTpiaK7BvOvBCfi0rbYn_GmFysiNA-6YtPzs_9WrbAQNlRtMYBjA-00f4qTVD3Qzxq_DZaPYw1k7NdTkv7SkSeVj1E3vix9F2F7YpF/s320/PXL_20240127_011102083.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Birthday with Nana and Grandpa</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />I went with Hinckley’s class to JA (Junior Achievement) city in Orem Friday, a field trip for the whole 5th grade focused on learning a “job” and how to manage being an adult in the workforce for a day. It was an amazing simulation of sorts and very interesting from a learning design perspective. It captured the kids’ imagination like nothing else (other than maybe the Alpine School District "space camp"). While I’m not sure they came away with any key performance or learning objectives met, they had a blast. It was fun to see them running around doing all sorts of things like putting on TV ads, running payroll, CEOs giving inspirational speeches, banks investing in businesses, and more.

Still no nightmares...so hopefully she'll be alright. She loves gymnastics and playing with friends, and enjoys wearing her boots everywhere (snow boots or cowgirl boots). For a "Dad Movie" this week I showed the kids Star Wars: A New Hope (the first one ever made) and Addie walked out of it and couldn't finish it. "Too boring," she said. Greyson was into it though. <p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>January 21, 2024</b></p>This week started with the MLK holiday and I took Addie on a date to the rec center walking around the track and some Crumbl cookie after. It was fun to walk laps as she talked to me about the books she is reading and the kids in her class. I always love listening to Addie's happy chirpings :) She started working with a math tutor this week and has already been more optimistic about her math skills. We hope it helps as she has been lagging behind a bit. She loves drawing and playing with friends and is half way through Harry Potter 3. She made her own wand using a stick she found outside, glue, and gold craft paint. <br /><br />Greyson has fallen into the habit of drawing for long periods and it is remarkable. He is into drawing Scooby-Doo things now and has mostly moved on from the Grinch (though he still pumps out a few a week for the Grinch). He just draws and draws and draws. Reminds me of when Addie would do that for big periods as well. He had his first B-Ball game of the new season with me as the coach and it went pretty well. He's not hesitant to get in there and take shots, even if they are from "downtown" haha. <br /><br /><br />I took Greyson and Hinckley for haircuts and Greyson insisted on getting his trim to look like "Fred from Scooby-Doo". Since then he wants me to help him gel and part his hair every day "to look like Fred". I'm grateful he isn't aiming to look like Shaggy! haha.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZLNsIFVJa8uommz0MZxDY5Klsgjaf9hc3Tgtydb-p-GTEgMuxIPLAXeJHQpcsMM2jBUmAnURhQjCj6ApntoIs8tRtX9UV3ZRtB4q6139OT8wArjZ0UBiI785mBi1p-qkaY_dJ_JTEB8DngdFJbS-UWdPOzoIn6EzfH5ypZ_LI7ADZyxG4rUuD_BAn/s4032/PXL_20240115_214700503.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZLNsIFVJa8uommz0MZxDY5Klsgjaf9hc3Tgtydb-p-GTEgMuxIPLAXeJHQpcsMM2jBUmAnURhQjCj6ApntoIs8tRtX9UV3ZRtB4q6139OT8wArjZ0UBiI785mBi1p-qkaY_dJ_JTEB8DngdFJbS-UWdPOzoIn6EzfH5ypZ_LI7ADZyxG4rUuD_BAn/s320/PXL_20240115_214700503.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fred boy</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQABJ9aMkS6A86X5t0jmGV9A7ic-fvMEw6p-rqOVpliw9Gt-dWQphCknNofuHwvrKsmJb2iGByTDk98X27ihhefK9F8Zk6CBEOOjBAabOqzfo9MJMltiRAAEVgowP6SnV9T2rbf2a6txs3Yp5QE8Cuc17P_v3bucZoFo7N3ZblXl8D1XMwXQ5IS0I9/s4032/PXL_20240115_214921317.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQABJ9aMkS6A86X5t0jmGV9A7ic-fvMEw6p-rqOVpliw9Gt-dWQphCknNofuHwvrKsmJb2iGByTDk98X27ihhefK9F8Zk6CBEOOjBAabOqzfo9MJMltiRAAEVgowP6SnV9T2rbf2a6txs3Yp5QE8Cuc17P_v3bucZoFo7N3ZblXl8D1XMwXQ5IS0I9/s320/PXL_20240115_214921317.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pre-teen</td></tr></tbody></table></div><br />Hinckley has set a personal goal this year to learn Trigonometry...sometimes I have to remind myself he is my son!

He wanted me to wear a suit and tie but I declined. I haven't gotten into the sport with as much enthusiasm haha.<br /><br />Hinckley and I finished Rings of Power this week. It has been fun to watch that with him, but has caused much tears with Addie who wants to stay up and watch stuff too. Trying to figure out a solution there. Hinckley also had an urge to "change the world" this week, so he ended up using AI to write an email to his principal requesting that the playground equipment be restored to the 5th grade, arguing that it wasn't fair that the whole grade be punished for the misdeeds of a few. She hasn't responded.<br /><br />Addie spent a lot of time in the snow this week, she loves to go out and play and sing alone and with her friend Brooke - and Greyson if she is in a great mood.

She has read the first two but continues to put off the third one as she enjoys the Wimpy Kid books and other graphic novels (Babysitters club) too much.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8xLs6yc8ezADEU91GVFjYkrf13Tg-A59EJFQpb-4qfdYMvGRslQ_7mvVN8iNvj0V2aYDzS6l3FM_lv8krYa3J5U-tGuJRE6UnblGKrm97a7PegYie49m-IZiqjKpyCNI2nCEkM2XFKG50UEA66hp6lppomc6O2xtfEkknFmoWU3DyaaHTn4NjeZhu/s4032/PXL_20240101_040000123.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8xLs6yc8ezADEU91GVFjYkrf13Tg-A59EJFQpb-4qfdYMvGRslQ_7mvVN8iNvj0V2aYDzS6l3FM_lv8krYa3J5U-tGuJRE6UnblGKrm97a7PegYie49m-IZiqjKpyCNI2nCEkM2XFKG50UEA66hp6lppomc6O2xtfEkknFmoWU3DyaaHTn4NjeZhu/s320/PXL_20240101_040000123.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">New years sparklers</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsXC1ciJYyhKySk8dpbSr9F4s2yEELcNS5jp8PCQ7l05ViB9rQd2v_40g78w1dAGQGshXqEMOuhzLxsh80FEUHtH7wPwh0jeQy7gAfXBkchFMFG43On8SdSPUOiOSdoV9KEZAqOsDu8fqWFpNGMJk0VBd3uLvuYqZxzDWc_PnxxxEXm-7mFufsiNEE/s4032/PXL_20240101_035440994.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsXC1ciJYyhKySk8dpbSr9F4s2yEELcNS5jp8PCQ7l05ViB9rQd2v_40g78w1dAGQGshXqEMOuhzLxsh80FEUHtH7wPwh0jeQy7gAfXBkchFMFG43On8SdSPUOiOSdoV9KEZAqOsDu8fqWFpNGMJk0VBd3uLvuYqZxzDWc_PnxxxEXm-7mFufsiNEE/s320/PXL_20240101_035440994.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">New calendars!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOLUKUM-BfO_B8ogd0wcaefire-nS_X6BEcEZDGiDx3_m6Lqt9YjZ3viDCu0gtptdqHAWm7uy4d3jPmski1Im97He7NX50iMMifNjGQGF4r-Bps04HPG9uq9ulbJ2tQFEevw-rZJ9ylDsTcptMU8KgGPFXQRzE-Og-PbMIwE4c-TiYaeVuZkwgbRKv/s4032/PXL_20240101_013748884.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOLUKUM-BfO_B8ogd0wcaefire-nS_X6BEcEZDGiDx3_m6Lqt9YjZ3viDCu0gtptdqHAWm7uy4d3jPmski1Im97He7NX50iMMifNjGQGF4r-Bps04HPG9uq9ulbJ2tQFEevw-rZJ9ylDsTcptMU8KgGPFXQRzE-Og-PbMIwE4c-TiYaeVuZkwgbRKv/s320/PXL_20240101_013748884.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Playing games on new years with Grandad and Grandma</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </div><br />We had a fun time sledding up the Big Cottonwood canyon on New Years day. Hinckley was very happy that we could find snow so he could try out his new tube he got for Christmas. There wasn't any snow in the valleys so we weren’t sure about it. It was a great trip. We found parking, everyone had fun sledding with no injuries, and there were no fits the entire time. Remarkable. The next day we had a really fun trip to SLC. We went through the buildings on Temple square including the Assembly Hall, the Tabernacle, and then the Conference Center. The temple construction is incredible and the kids enjoyed looking at that. The highlight for them was going on top of the Conference center and getting food at the City Creek food court. We then went to the Delta Center for the Jr Jazz night and Greyson got to shoot a free throw on the Jazz court and Addie got face paint. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We spent the rest of the break trying to get out of the house at least once a day as the kids didn't return to school till today. We went swimming at the rec center, ice skating at the temporary rink here in Lehi, played basketball in the gym at the rec center and walked around the track. Greyson woke up and crafted nearly every day to prepare for a movie. He spread out Legos on his floor and made a few other “Traps” and Hinckley woke up just in time to participate in the Home Alone movie along with Addie. They also did face paint to make a Tom and Jerry movie. And of course he drew about a million pictures of the Grinch. <br /><br /><br />Today everyone is back to school and work and we are getting used to the idea of returning to a routine. Love you all! </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA7x7pBVFSpfDQo7mM2PZQHAvpmEZCgxCO3yXY-3_PYgQI5d-t1h_Arb1-VxHIqql9FGOHHsSUUqrpc5Wh_XgctE_uYSfh8e3dnG5A-8MRFIRYGTMqmgh6excOcjZPstzX9fXvz2or__RUyfPnu8p3yEfYhZtItsKOE6B5NHmE1DjV19n46-Q12NIQ/s4032/PXL_20240106_164113371.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

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 <i>Space Jam</i>. 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. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

We've aimed to do one thing out of the house each day. We've been ice skating, and swimming, played at the church gym with another family in the neighborhood, went to a live animal show at the local Hutchings Museum, and also moved Hinckley's bedroom into my office as we will experiment with sharing that space. Hinckley had a bunch of friends over this week to play "the battle game". It is sort of an imaginary fighting game where they talk a lot about their characters and "the storyline". It is a thing they've been doing during recess and he wanted to host it at the park near our house and so last week he made invitations and scheduled it and everything! 4 friends came and they watched <i>The Princess Bride</i> after which went well.<div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

He and Addie have really enjoyed the "Grinch on the shelf" antics this week though he declared he knows "elves and Santa aren't real" but....are they?

Addie, Hinckley and I sang in the ward choir (Christmas Medley and First Noel), then I sang in a men's chorus (Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel) and then Kassie (flute) and myself (trombone) played in a ward orchestra (Joy to the world). That last one was arranged by a brother in our ward and we had a huge turn out! Maybe 10+ strings, two sisters on piano, a triangle/percussion, a bass, and 4 of us on brass, not to mention Kassie as the solo woodwind. She had a really good solo for a whole verse. It was wonderful. </div><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>December 17, 2023</b></p>We had a full week of things. Greyson had his Kindergarten "Christmas sing" on Monday and had a great time with his friends singing. He continues to love the Grinch and after a lot of persuasion a Grinch "elf on a shelf" showed up half way through this week to his and Addie's major delight. Greyson immediately set about plans to create a new Grinch movie, which is currently under development. On Saturday Hinckley had his violin concert. It was a somewhat stressful affair for him as he didn't feel he was ready. He also broke his violin on Tuesday, but we were able to get it repaired in time to practice another day or two before the performance. He did it anyway and it all worked out and he seemed happy after it was over. He and Addie also entered some artwork in the American Fork art contest and they both won second place in their age groups! That was a fun thing they did with their art teacher. They love creating. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHulINeBwtGZBQtZ1j904vj_QP-hVHV4y2SpCMAOVI-dyhGcl40xsMO77biDESh0gnG4unh5W8Vl_MhxpWoo2x6sDvTaZjoqoCmY6gF6pS0UoKUugKQTHLqLtEtuB35E8SJN3koVMgIsDXcjeJFrbvW4NegrHC3oNkNrVD14Nq-OKZ3YAYzoRltwKH/s4032/PXL_20231211_162723868.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

He had a great time with that this year! The only thing that is keeping him going is his love of the Grinch. On Friday he and some other students were rushing somewhere and in the scuffle he was accidentally pushed and smashed his face on the corner of a table. He developed quite the green hue across his nose and cheek and bled profusely from both nostrils. We don't think anything broke but may take him to the doctor in a few days if he still looks like he is a recovering boxer.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTNMlzEHgQ2PWGCsQ2u_EkQ9J78KGwnKAjDQo1Vc9UnuHui4POfecLUBUdTw63RXDLFiHGqd5X4cyGSopNCLnrU9WaEZp93jr9wYseDjpk-IuaEq-gZc-cKhCD8Ea2HMKJaqKAVJfGoZdVwKQi8fnu39AyqgtJ41ITOh_Cuyjiv8cP5mYBJvLYhpvz/s4032/PXL_20231209_165850948.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTNMlzEHgQ2PWGCsQ2u_EkQ9J78KGwnKAjDQo1Vc9UnuHui4POfecLUBUdTw63RXDLFiHGqd5X4cyGSopNCLnrU9WaEZp93jr9wYseDjpk-IuaEq-gZc-cKhCD8Ea2HMKJaqKAVJfGoZdVwKQi8fnu39AyqgtJ41ITOh_Cuyjiv8cP5mYBJvLYhpvz/s320/PXL_20231209_165850948.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson and team</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuj_Zn3RAs-tesB1_TPK-ChN8ZvKA33oo3OJssKIhcwpC6vjntGHNSGKGG4EL9QZTFu93LANqsF0hdqGrOC9YiQ8pIjmuAA1ujTcG9aw6w44lveRF_WSgxVCnkiNxEixrvIrAkYqXwURfmlk8HgWv2joFbsSxVKnyMXFXR3RgY-crazs4pVHF9lJ4P/s4032/PXL_20231209_170040697.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuj_Zn3RAs-tesB1_TPK-ChN8ZvKA33oo3OJssKIhcwpC6vjntGHNSGKGG4EL9QZTFu93LANqsF0hdqGrOC9YiQ8pIjmuAA1ujTcG9aw6w44lveRF_WSgxVCnkiNxEixrvIrAkYqXwURfmlk8HgWv2joFbsSxVKnyMXFXR3RgY-crazs4pVHF9lJ4P/s320/PXL_20231209_170040697.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Baller</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </div>Hinckley has been practicing violin in preparation for his concert next week.

We started the week with the ultrasound and it was fun to have Hinckley there too. Overall the kids seem happy with another boy. Kassie and I had hoped for a girl, but of course, we will love this fellow regardless. <br /><br /><br />I had a bunch of extra work this week and had to work overtime for my first time in this job which wasn't fun, but hopefully behind me now. As a family, we went to the Festival of Trees in Sandy and saw some incredible things people have made to donate to the auction. There was a basketball tree with an official Wilson NBA ball from each team in the league signed by the current roster of players! Greyson was amazed.

Hinckley and Kassie went on a field trip with his class to hear the Utah Symphony at Mountain View High School in Orem. He enjoyed it and Kassie said their class was very well behaved. On Tuesday both boys had Thanksgiving celebrations in class. At Hinckley's school the 5th grade combine to do an "amazing race" in which they break into teams and do a bunch of different activities mixed with taste testing food created by parents using original recipes from colonial times (apparently). He said it was really great! Kassie made the "hot Indian pudding". Greyson came home from school after his "feast" and was very eager to run upstairs to show me his "big belly". He told me all the things he loved, but the 14 Oreos was his favorite. Addie didn't have any special events but she was very excited about the Thanksgiving break and was eager to have a sleepover with her brothers. She and I had a very fun date at the new Lehi outdoor portable ice skating rink they set up on top of a baseball diamond here at a local park. It was great! We had a delightful time with Mom, Dad, and Trent and Abi's families at Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point. We've been before but I think the kids enjoyed everything even more by having cousins to stroll around with!<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Perhaps the peace and quiet of the home was just what she needed! I had fun with the kids making Thanksgiving placemats and exploring rocks up by Bonneville trail. We returned on Saturday to see Halvorsen cousins and the kids had too much fun roaming the halls of the Apple Chapel. Other fun things this week included Hinckley experiencing his first Turkey Bowl with his friend Tyler and other boys from Tyler's neighborhood, going to Wish with the family, putting up Christmas decorations, playing with friends in the first snow of the season and more. <br /><br /><br />A small miracle this week happened related to a project I'm doing in the garage. I've been stressing over building some shelves for weeks (months?) and finally chose some plans. After picking up Hinckley from a friend's house I thought we could just "swing by Home Depot" (famous last words). We loaded all the lumber up on a cart and I was feeling pretty proud of myself for getting everything and it adding up to my expected cost...until I realized it wouldn't all fit in the van! Hinckley and I began to play Tetris and just as I was about to give up, a man came up to us and asked if we needed help. Turns out he had done the same thing a month earlier and bought a truck last week so it wouldn't happen again. He saw our plight and carried all the lumber to our house! It was amazing and filled me with the spirit of gratitude. I then borrowed armfuls of equipment and supplies from one of our neighbors to begin cutting and assembling the shelves. I thank God for the kind people who have helped me at every big and small step of my life. <br /><br /><p><b>November 19, 2023</b></p><div>Lately Hinckley is really into trying to have lucid dreams. He has researched it online and is keeping a dream journal now and wears my old Bluetooth headphones with sleep music when he goes to bed. Not sure if it works, but he has been going to bed much easier lately which is a win in my book!

It was a little strange to go to Hinckley's Halloween parade at his school and Kassie went and saw the two others at the Dry Creek parade. Addie was in tears when she saw Kassie…we think the day was very stimulating for her. But she ended up having a great day. She was determined to go trick or treating till 7:30 (about 2 hours) and we nearly did. Greyson asked if I would dress as a basketball coach (wear a suit) so I did. He is so funny. Kassie made some fun Halloween food for dinner including witch fingers for breadsticks and meatball eyeballs. It was a memorable and fun holiday.

Addie got a fuzzy pink fanny pack though she informed me you don’t wear it around your fanny these days but on your shoulder…apparently it is the rage and many kids even wear them empty. Hinckley was super excited about getting Dungeons and Dragons D&D and was not daunted by the 65-page rule book. I had to turn to AI to help me begin to understand how to start. Apparently, the games are at least 3 hours long. <br /><br />The rest of the week was recovering from Halloween, including Greyson throwing up on the bus stairs poor guy. I went to Hinckley's maturation talk with the rest of the 5th grade boys which went well. Hinckley and Addie got haircuts that they were very excited about, and on Saturday they both went to a "bright ideas" camp in which they designed alien worlds and did other fun science things. Greyson was feeling better enough to play in his basketball game and sink some great shots! <p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;"><b>October 29, 2023</b></span></p>This week I went to New Jersey/New York for work for a "simulation boot camp." Basically, that means I got together with members of my design team to learn more about designing simulations. I've been on a simulation project this year which is the first of its kind on our team and we will be doing more of them this next year so I'm excited! It was a good trip and my first time in the NYC area since high school. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9hMqOKdJD72SCKjbkbWYMjrIpkMOXG5B3e5UfLlhBpIeGScIMKfmEb2rVDDnivXkRiV8yoZ4VG3SezCux_9Gka1YhZHIChY-CveLnm-Ztt_8l-VgneoNm-nh1jvy6OWUmICdJxB-vcRVytQtG1zUElvV8d1CZ3cX06CQV1LCsJQruZ4sLZUyP5rEJ/s4032/PXL_20231025_174908609.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9hMqOKdJD72SCKjbkbWYMjrIpkMOXG5B3e5UfLlhBpIeGScIMKfmEb2rVDDnivXkRiV8yoZ4VG3SezCux_9Gka1YhZHIChY-CveLnm-Ztt_8l-VgneoNm-nh1jvy6OWUmICdJxB-vcRVytQtG1zUElvV8d1CZ3cX06CQV1LCsJQruZ4sLZUyP5rEJ/s320/PXL_20231025_174908609.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ground zero</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiczWvdUIAanJyywwiz41j0K0bq8xyffII14cO107s4PEwgFXIahZzs53pz4sg3J2JAmcZ0RoGgvyK5kKfLDFH0NoKMfvcCYtYknQQYk1PtM5CCe3xSTQSGHcncim-5XnsHeim37CtFk61dSYbNkn9XxEQOpxAkJJ3P_1lMnDQSwMnUKcSrBrtj3-gY/s4032/PXL_20231028_204358883.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiczWvdUIAanJyywwiz41j0K0bq8xyffII14cO107s4PEwgFXIahZzs53pz4sg3J2JAmcZ0RoGgvyK5kKfLDFH0NoKMfvcCYtYknQQYk1PtM5CCe3xSTQSGHcncim-5XnsHeim37CtFk61dSYbNkn9XxEQOpxAkJJ3P_1lMnDQSwMnUKcSrBrtj3-gY/s320/PXL_20231028_204358883.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Playing in the leaves</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOlcbOPfeB5JtBTzJ37diIRC6PsiDju2FnGk8T6xDtK_aOKfMmwPTUgxtVqUxCeU2EjieupnAgK6bTvLxt_y3RdnExDpBbouWaJlvliRy4Wvm5YqIdmTTGzxi4jWU5Cmbyv1SKIIxV53A4Udde8Ri3LgVXjjcyoIUVb_pSsUuAmXfRP7uUlkgxGaK9/s4032/PXL_20231028_204330096.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOlcbOPfeB5JtBTzJ37diIRC6PsiDju2FnGk8T6xDtK_aOKfMmwPTUgxtVqUxCeU2EjieupnAgK6bTvLxt_y3RdnExDpBbouWaJlvliRy4Wvm5YqIdmTTGzxi4jWU5Cmbyv1SKIIxV53A4Udde8Ri3LgVXjjcyoIUVb_pSsUuAmXfRP7uUlkgxGaK9/s320/PXL_20231028_204330096.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Floating head</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcGCaQsxOHnVLlqPa1Opaton6JHwoctN9ivUx8dtP_D9hfqUkUvIcnlI73eXAGyR-LkyDS8BOQyBZXVWACojGARNyiNdg0gMhriVHKwxY8cIFIiTCiMWuvzzWV11eRr51qdeVhg2fuMRL5lLDnFyG8FGiszaoSSEk7ZpjB52cLG7DAQ49mtKEdTIYU/s4032/PXL_20231029_230950562.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcGCaQsxOHnVLlqPa1Opaton6JHwoctN9ivUx8dtP_D9hfqUkUvIcnlI73eXAGyR-LkyDS8BOQyBZXVWACojGARNyiNdg0gMhriVHKwxY8cIFIiTCiMWuvzzWV11eRr51qdeVhg2fuMRL5lLDnFyG8FGiszaoSSEk7ZpjB52cLG7DAQ49mtKEdTIYU/w400-h300/PXL_20231029_230950562.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Costumes with cousins</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>While I was out Kassie took the kids to a very fun ward activity the youth put on for everyone with fun games, a chili and pie cookoff, and lots of treats.

Also this week I put together a baptism for a woman from Columbia visiting her family in our ward. She doesn't speak English so it was tricky to figure out how to put the program together and get the pieces to align for the service on Saturday, but it all went really well and she seemed to feel the Spirit strongly.

It was great to have so much family there to support her (including Rach)! She did a really great job and seemed to enjoy it. She was disappointed she didn’t get a medal or a ribbon at the end, it was clear she thought she’d get one. But she took it really well and seemed to be eager to do this again next year. Addie and Kassie had a fun date to Corbelly's (pumpkin patch). They saw the light show, played lots of fun games, and enjoyed all the sights and sounds.

It was wonderful to see Rach before she left on Friday and Trent after his knee replacement surgery. The kids were in heaven running wild in the backyard. On Friday Hinckley presented his final state report and float (like a diorama) for school. He was assigned to Nevada and did lots of research and work on that! He seemed to feel good about it. He continues to love swimming at the rec center on Tuesdays and Thursdays for morning workout and that is going pretty well.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRWq4CNXhzEYCg6_Ky98uONA3h4vPPIvTm-zc5CN75HIe43aUQ8D48K9H2XEPm2GFQNBrIURs4B8PDBumE_g4KPfMu_NBxInsG0w2YTGncMMbBxpTmH67t3ZNgE46iPgENOtryJF5yvhJxFeQ28xs9kJfFUk2qq4xSZmxz7krleXut2mGQ5vcEwUy/s4032/PXL_20231012_140554939.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRWq4CNXhzEYCg6_Ky98uONA3h4vPPIvTm-zc5CN75HIe43aUQ8D48K9H2XEPm2GFQNBrIURs4B8PDBumE_g4KPfMu_NBxInsG0w2YTGncMMbBxpTmH67t3ZNgE46iPgENOtryJF5yvhJxFeQ28xs9kJfFUk2qq4xSZmxz7krleXut2mGQ5vcEwUy/s320/PXL_20231012_140554939.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley at his morning swim</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjljxN-_M6-gMEL8u_sP7-BKe9rA6lvSqb3NsJEwPs7wJpdx4tJN4j7Jtat3lLeE-fz_jVampofQG5HEJktWtTKCxYDOkh3iQuVZ9m7X7U6szQSmHfWYnLn1P0yi8xbjK3GeUbMSxFMAbw7MuJzjl_8PJkNOszIJ0pKUg1yOTsCbE3cBQReJ8ljnKbd/s4032/PXL_20231011_232042778.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjljxN-_M6-gMEL8u_sP7-BKe9rA6lvSqb3NsJEwPs7wJpdx4tJN4j7Jtat3lLeE-fz_jVampofQG5HEJktWtTKCxYDOkh3iQuVZ9m7X7U6szQSmHfWYnLn1P0yi8xbjK3GeUbMSxFMAbw7MuJzjl_8PJkNOszIJ0pKUg1yOTsCbE3cBQReJ8ljnKbd/s320/PXL_20231011_232042778.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pumping up a paper ball</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </div>Greyson has been having some major fits about wanting to build yet another hoop. But not just any hoop, one with a metal pole and a glass backboard. There has been much weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth over this. He also made a paper basketball with tape and "Wilson" designs. He really wanted me to fill it up with the pump and was pretty sad when that didn't work out. He and I had a really fun date on Saturday going to Shoot360. The place is a modern basketball gym with some crazy technology that has you doing basketball drills with a life size screen that you can throw the ball against, as well as hoops that track the arc, depth, and positioning of each shot. It tracks it all and sends your analytics to an app on your phone. We just tried it out for the free trial hour and what was Greyson's favorite part? Just playing a half court "game" with Dad on a plain no tech court. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9jIQiknbEo7qy2omqCcdTiNI8ijedrTYHX7RAQxPueM1hTGf3In8V3AFJeyTF8lYMlgrpJNUmfI5axFJ-fszR9urWtCiJxjy5HQovF4cWLdyJRmMPpz6WGuPbXygSz4ZgkX4ORQRPRl4LvxZot9lhY_lX23xzXnvIdARvdpznepOtnWFhI7Sm9c_0/s4032/PXL_20231014_210942144.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9jIQiknbEo7qy2omqCcdTiNI8ijedrTYHX7RAQxPueM1hTGf3In8V3AFJeyTF8lYMlgrpJNUmfI5axFJ-fszR9urWtCiJxjy5HQovF4cWLdyJRmMPpz6WGuPbXygSz4ZgkX4ORQRPRl4LvxZot9lhY_lX23xzXnvIdARvdpznepOtnWFhI7Sm9c_0/s320/PXL_20231014_210942144.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Drills at Shoot360</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPT2mv4GQUAF2eRZfY9jHKdiF6SxZggH4dUoO_xmj2fA2QkEbnXGWUUB-2nOWuR_Dxp4DfCu_0F9yekzY5NkKmHLRj1qUlSBRyvhw7HU5KtsF_CUTw1BjhZOW3-hPbw5e69TKxrwgKMZcn-1Nj_WqbFYahaeaKpNDtN2lNm3CheFO1YUgkc79xlsLa/s4032/PXL_20231015_203144394.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPT2mv4GQUAF2eRZfY9jHKdiF6SxZggH4dUoO_xmj2fA2QkEbnXGWUUB-2nOWuR_Dxp4DfCu_0F9yekzY5NkKmHLRj1qUlSBRyvhw7HU5KtsF_CUTw1BjhZOW3-hPbw5e69TKxrwgKMZcn-1Nj_WqbFYahaeaKpNDtN2lNm3CheFO1YUgkc79xlsLa/s320/PXL_20231015_203144394.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jungle trail </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvgaZILGLya5woidovcPOQlGvydsjnkJwihx_CXGUNGrpWJ7XcMUVXQVoUN6FMxYBacX1b_hdc6NR81XVaHM69hwCQswHEmxuojbYgrmhBmGHqEMtKhE8xcErtc6Ia-GbqNtInS1pBU_dcpplz1rWmVhX6AieIE3EEQzDxmldguIIEDL36IWgHcLdk/s4032/PXL_20231014_162753885.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvgaZILGLya5woidovcPOQlGvydsjnkJwihx_CXGUNGrpWJ7XcMUVXQVoUN6FMxYBacX1b_hdc6NR81XVaHM69hwCQswHEmxuojbYgrmhBmGHqEMtKhE8xcErtc6Ia-GbqNtInS1pBU_dcpplz1rWmVhX6AieIE3EEQzDxmldguIIEDL36IWgHcLdk/s320/PXL_20231014_162753885.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Eclipse! </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>On Saturday I invited a neighbor over to help me begin installing some garage storage shelves and we did 1 of 2 which feels good. Everyone enjoyed looking at the eclipse which was really neat! Kassie and I went on a double date with a couple in the ward and played Pickleball and went for Indian food after. We realized this is the first time we've gone to dinner with another non-family couple in....years. Maybe since before we had kids?! It was a lot of fun. Today (Sunday) we enjoyed some fall leaves at the Jungle Trail in Draper and the perfect fall time weather. Soaking it up as much as we can before it becomes brown and cold. <p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;"><b>October 8, 2023</b></span></p><br />October is off and running and we are enjoying the amazing colors all around including the snow capped peaks around Utah valley. Addie had her longest race (4k) of the season in Orem on Monday and did a great job pushing through on that! Greyson had his first basketball game of the season and was in heaven. He got to score a basket and snagged a few rebounds too. He was completely enchanted by it all. Hinckley supported both his sibling sporting events, and he and I enjoyed a date at Corbelly's (Thanksgiving point pumpkin patch). We got lost in the corn maze together and in an effort to get to a visiting circus act on time cut through the corn maze and stumbled out at a random place. We had a great time!

I enjoyed my book group on Wednesday where we discussed a book I picked called Project Hail Mary (Science fiction book). It was really fun! Also the missionary fair event I organized for our ward youth on Tuesday was a big success and the kids loved going around the different tables to try food and treats from different countries. We all enjoyed hearing Addie's choir concert which was at the American Fork Library atrium. She has really enjoyed the community choir and we are glad she has found something musical that she is happy to participate in.<div><br /></div><div>We had some cousins over on Friday night for a movie night. Hinckley has long been wanting to show Logan 'Interstellar' and so the older kids watched that. In between shouts of "MURPH!", some treats, and the youngers watching Narnia upstairs everyone seemed to have a good time <br /><br />Things seem to be as busy as ever, but the cooler and darker nights are helping some of us sleep better and longer. We'll take it! </div></div></div></div></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788639825518734443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692445828267763976.post-12273113456302919372023-10-02T05:00:00.001-07:002023-10-02T05:00:10.153-07:00September 2023<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>October 1, 2023</b></div>We had a good conference weekend with legos, basketball crafting, candy bribery, and uplifting messages! Overall the kids did pretty well. We also put up the Halloween decorations which is nearly as exciting for everyone as putting up Christmas decorations. They were extremely enthusiastic. It was great to take Hinckley and Addie to a session of Conference on Saturday, and fun to ride up with Trent and Hallie and see some other familiar faces at the conference center. It was a good time. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhve4xzzhRgaWhU4FTqpwVb2mnYv7pWum5eFlsrX53Oik4ATiqfZGIc3YHJz4xlQUPPuE8cuxKI0FdXLRniN2oJNyxLVXkldX8HCjLU25Zyc29zJ9YHAT2m24jp68Lh6xkp9VJimdZbzW6vf_gCqPkms3JUb7D3vfF6CrREXYEgU2gvUQGQjoAVzwMK/s640/IMG_20230930_134928.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

The kids enjoyed the games and activities and little prizes they earned. We shared our big news with you this week about another child coming to our family in April! The kids ask about something related to the baby on a daily basis. Greyson has already made many crafts "for the baby" including a basketball court made from a cardboard box that our new laundry hamper came in. He threw a HUGE fit when he was unable to get the materials needed to make a hoop that goes "up and down for the baby". That boy always wants to be crafting if he isn't actually playing basketball or watching it on the screen.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZ9IZ5XdgDtEqHenGApP9lMVIBmmSE5cGhEVSxkmnxWWheVCfF5FT-KPEuGbc81x3ZX_NoAwMc-ZlMBogA9c99UFNKQ7J58NTe3Fgrc4ScojM5QRCvFx4ePCF3zX7ZCyKW3JQvHaHuHuJCWD7xd1yl2xrfa_cNK-JBoX-l-laM7HTFMhe78mcBlGx/s4032/PXL_20230929_232320956.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZ9IZ5XdgDtEqHenGApP9lMVIBmmSE5cGhEVSxkmnxWWheVCfF5FT-KPEuGbc81x3ZX_NoAwMc-ZlMBogA9c99UFNKQ7J58NTe3Fgrc4ScojM5QRCvFx4ePCF3zX7ZCyKW3JQvHaHuHuJCWD7xd1yl2xrfa_cNK-JBoX-l-laM7HTFMhe78mcBlGx/s320/PXL_20230929_232320956.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fall festival dunk tank</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiera31Tz_IQE6Sd8sxf3h6v6GIgVcyQGJMiXG2o7Zwgo38rYUB1O-wq_uDCbILJzwbB3vqZQJddaog057MkY09NZG4CO9do0zGwGZaB93IBcfPqFbSgJNvuhbB9hyphenhyphenFbM62iisjpZjA6vZ09m4fA9_kxPXKWiPlt8zX4L6Qn46qOCB58KgUNvtFmdo6/s4032/PXL_20230930_003652474.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiera31Tz_IQE6Sd8sxf3h6v6GIgVcyQGJMiXG2o7Zwgo38rYUB1O-wq_uDCbILJzwbB3vqZQJddaog057MkY09NZG4CO9do0zGwGZaB93IBcfPqFbSgJNvuhbB9hyphenhyphenFbM62iisjpZjA6vZ09m4fA9_kxPXKWiPlt8zX4L6Qn46qOCB58KgUNvtFmdo6/s320/PXL_20230930_003652474.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Playing with "sticky guy"</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>We went for flu shots as a family and despite Addie's near anxiety attack the night before, everyone actually did really well when we went to the doctor's office.

Hopefully, the grass will grow. I'm grateful for our amazing neighbors Dick and Kathy Carter. He took me over to the sod place in his truck and helped me sharpen my lawn mower blade. He is so great! <br /><br /><br />The kids had a lot of fun with Nana on Wednesday when Kassie and I went to our first temple session at the Saratoga Springs temple. It was a success! <br /><br /><br />Addi was overjoyed to get her cast off this week and she can run free now without that extra weight. She did really well in her cross country meet on Monday, it was a 3K which felt much longer than a 2. She is working her way into being quite the runner and it is fun to see her sense of accomplishment at the end of a race. Greyson loved it too because the park she had her meet at had a "Jazz court" - a basketball court with a Jazz logo. He was in heaven.<div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />We've had our trip planned to Lagoon for a month or more and it finally happened on Saturday. Hinckley has really cooled towards scary roller coasters. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun and we even saw people from our neighborhood there including Addie's two best friends. It was a good time all around and everyone was very tired when we got home. On Sunday after church, we went up and saw some of the amazing leaves against the brilliant blue sky up at South Fork in Provo Canyon and on top of Squaw Peak. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Addie had another cross country meet and ran a full 2K! She was pretty tired after but felt accomplished. She is worried about a 3K tomorrow. The boys were happy at the event because there was a pond to throw rocks in. Also what a appeared to be a haunted farm house nearby which had them all excited. On Saturday I had a fun date with Addie swimming at the AF pool. She was finally able to try out her mermaid tail she got for her birthday and was really excited about that! She was very cute in showing off all the things she's learned from swim lessons and it was nice how empty the pool was. She's been very sensitive lately to "fashion" and what she is wearing and other girls are wearing. She has been "dying" for a jean jacket and we picked one up after swimming that she is pretty excited about.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrXWtE0bBWqR6iPV14ISaJ7el29JfUaRxjipqxwv7iaC5UDWcch5WGozbu17KgzgZLNtZO0acjsau3HL_e8o6FOI1VfmyLvMtr5NRUUcViMFYxc70awO2uBZEBItjpHNVqIrMLOIRBc6gFAEjG2qUtmGUZKfd2h-NXer6Ljdu4i35ZtLHO61uhcTd/s4032/PXL_20230916_203023913.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrXWtE0bBWqR6iPV14ISaJ7el29JfUaRxjipqxwv7iaC5UDWcch5WGozbu17KgzgZLNtZO0acjsau3HL_e8o6FOI1VfmyLvMtr5NRUUcViMFYxc70awO2uBZEBItjpHNVqIrMLOIRBc6gFAEjG2qUtmGUZKfd2h-NXer6Ljdu4i35ZtLHO61uhcTd/s320/PXL_20230916_203023913.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie mermaid</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />After some shuffling things around with my work schedule I tried something new with Hinckley. We went twice before school this week to the rec center where he swam laps. I came up with some basic workouts for him and as he swam I did my scripture/journal stuff. It worked out pretty well as I then took him to school right after. It just means I start work right after I wake up super early in the morning (instead of scriptures). He really enjoyed it and is excited to keep going, so we'll see if this works for now. He has refused to do any other sport or physical activity, so maybe this will stick. He had a couple of playdates with a new friend from class this week and seems to be really enjoying his class and new school. He also got a new Zelda game that he bought with his own money. He is over the moon about that.<br /><br />Greyson continues to craft a mile a minute, building sports things for every place in the house. Last night he was in the bath, shooting a small rubber basketball into a tinfoil and yarn hoop he had taped to the shower. It was leaking blue marker all over and he was in heaven. It is astounding how obsessed he is. He begged and begged us to let him paint soccer lines on our grass so he could have an official field in our backyard. He just keeps pushing for more. <br /><br />On Friday I went down to Sanpete county and camped with the TSL men's group (The Strenuous Life). It was great to get to know those guys better. They are some really good people. I tried out sleeping in a hammock and managed to stay warm (it was high 30s low 40s) and also took a Grandpa Halvorsen inspired skinny dip in the creek I found in the morning after watching the beavers swim around. It was a really wonderful time! It turned out that I had a flat tire, so the men there helped me get the back up on the car so I could drive it slowly back to Spanish Fork Discount tire to get it fixed up.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLWjWwUxCBLZwxeKbAvGfVQ7Y8brk-y5y617uutpHBgq2Bzmue-kZi_Y-pplQQHyz1yIPh4ucPmGI7qZ0xatJ8nIwIZ_XWpJQHI_zcq3huEsBz4tOmRi2Hw_U8y0jt8TN5RT7OXYaihIOl-4t1Zc0QO1naiHEGqa-SsMskrMwFE0WqJtial5JwoP0B/s3264/PXL_20230916_145651564.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLWjWwUxCBLZwxeKbAvGfVQ7Y8brk-y5y617uutpHBgq2Bzmue-kZi_Y-pplQQHyz1yIPh4ucPmGI7qZ0xatJ8nIwIZ_XWpJQHI_zcq3huEsBz4tOmRi2Hw_U8y0jt8TN5RT7OXYaihIOl-4t1Zc0QO1naiHEGqa-SsMskrMwFE0WqJtial5JwoP0B/s320/PXL_20230916_145651564.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hammock bed</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizcO5JhuwpMMmkv7Cxz1L_U3dFkkrFtbkVKhf2B8xTHQxcht_FqMSBuZ-26xRpeGtVixNpM3t7Lmg_ZYcsDJ8EbFJ99I-5-p4hIFQ_N0l0bYJC-LzduYYjQhLBZVa6n52bLRJVZ-YXlmex4lOgBGfS0faCbkj8fVswyPk8KOmwye0G-FTJxzBj7Jyv/s4032/PXL_20230916_154758416.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizcO5JhuwpMMmkv7Cxz1L_U3dFkkrFtbkVKhf2B8xTHQxcht_FqMSBuZ-26xRpeGtVixNpM3t7Lmg_ZYcsDJ8EbFJ99I-5-p4hIFQ_N0l0bYJC-LzduYYjQhLBZVa6n52bLRJVZ-YXlmex4lOgBGfS0faCbkj8fVswyPk8KOmwye0G-FTJxzBj7Jyv/s320/PXL_20230916_154758416.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gooseberry creek</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlHHdhhA8dmmeQZt6H-dXDIyh4LNZuiecLeXSVKXwcO7uNIgQvz42QT24fbnp23_k-QC_R1T-NvZpNwq6O8fepLX7R1pXFGAhzQYVGR_RU0qn8b0Uw7JSzhMmS3IRtLIT9UHnpYTwZAWUBKqSnoDTEg_6O3Y6ZSIYqkGnHqWQzYiV7Egf8sCeOhCgp/s2048/a5428265-de25-43e8-bd39-d3d25956ed68_1_102_o.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlHHdhhA8dmmeQZt6H-dXDIyh4LNZuiecLeXSVKXwcO7uNIgQvz42QT24fbnp23_k-QC_R1T-NvZpNwq6O8fepLX7R1pXFGAhzQYVGR_RU0qn8b0Uw7JSzhMmS3IRtLIT9UHnpYTwZAWUBKqSnoDTEg_6O3Y6ZSIYqkGnHqWQzYiV7Egf8sCeOhCgp/s320/a5428265-de25-43e8-bd39-d3d25956ed68_1_102_o.jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Shooting arrows</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUS0uDqOGpNMTNboBtsvlJdguHY5H_5oHqNjtvBnl2tWPp9GcTsTlijcXFRGwt4GlZcuc81uvNcunvU5_IbqxERX1bHCnzLrG1WvEACHNn7mxoUkVLgriB8jXNMvILEpFVsSO4u-pVeFjQIOpgBgOPrYqCiiEqPDsOutXUyWtW8HkWOt68ABgwTuUZ/s4032/PXL_20230916_155915763.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUS0uDqOGpNMTNboBtsvlJdguHY5H_5oHqNjtvBnl2tWPp9GcTsTlijcXFRGwt4GlZcuc81uvNcunvU5_IbqxERX1bHCnzLrG1WvEACHNn7mxoUkVLgriB8jXNMvILEpFVsSO4u-pVeFjQIOpgBgOPrYqCiiEqPDsOutXUyWtW8HkWOt68ABgwTuUZ/s320/PXL_20230916_155915763.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The culprit for the flat tire</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /></div>Kassie and the kids put on a wonderful primary program earlier today!

He was pretty upset when we told him not to use it given it had multiple staples and push pins in it. He also made a "basketball shoe" out of tin foil and we've been reading more books about basketball. We've had to institute a policy on how many times we will move the hoop location in our backyard, and the hoop height, and the mini trampoline at the base of the hoop that he likes to jump from in order to dunk. He is always on the move creating or doing basketball. However, he did take a break from these things to scatter (and shatter) the trash at the park with a friend which is having us re-think our willingness to let him be at the park without an adult. <br /><br /><br />Hinckley and I had a great adventure hiking Timp on Saturday. He has been wanting to do that this summer and despite some difficult moments on the glacier (SO slick) and the long journey back to the trailhead we had a really great time. The wildflowers were beautiful, and we saw a lot of mountain goats and amazing sweeping views of the mountains. He has been learning his states and capitals and we've been rehearsing those in our morning drives.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

He rides the bus home and is the last of 12 stops. Addie broke her arm this week when she slipped and fell on the kitchen floor. It is a minor break though and the cast should come off in a few weeks pending all goes well there. We had a campout behind Timp with M&D and enjoyed some good camping food, spooky stories around the campfire, and a morning hike to Stewart falls. Hinckley got stung by a bee as we sat by the falls which sort of dampened the mood, but overall everyone had a great time. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Before that however they ended the summer with a fun trip to the Utah State Capitol with Nan and Grandpa and some cousins which they seemed to enjoy quite a bit. Kassie took them for one last summer swim. Hinckley decided to go to North Point Elementary (about 15 minute drive) and so we had two back-to-school nights. Three days into the new school year they both seem to be pretty happy with their teachers and classes. It was tough to leave Hinckley that first day not knowing a soul at his new school, but he stuck with it and seems to be feeling more comfortable there now.

He really got busy making more basketball hoops and crafts, including a mini court complete with a Lego and tin foil pair of hoops and jerseys for the Lego characters. He later made a kid-sized hoop using a pool noodle, some wire, and cardboard. He seems to create a hoop, or duplicate a basketball library book on computer paper every single day. It is hard to keep up with. This week Greyson was very intent on watching Michael Jordan play basketball. I found some classic games like the Jazz vs the Bulls in 1997 are on YouTube and he watched nearly a full game. He also went on a hike with Kassie in Draper and got some wiggles out. On Saturday Greyson and Hinckley went with Kassie on a small hike in PG and they zipped up and back really quick! Addie started cross country but there was a huge thunderstorm and so she picked up her shirt and we went home. She is very excited to be doing that with a friend from the neighborhood.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

So we are figuring out how that will work with transportation and so forth. He is excited about it. We capped off deep room cleaning with a trip to shaved ice which was one of the final things the kids wanted to do before the summer ended. It's been a great time!<div><br /></div><div>Saturday was 12 years of marriage for Kassie and me. We had a fun anniversary date last week, so Saturday evening we went and saw <i>Barbie </i>in the theater. I laughed out loud many times and found it a thought-provoking movie. Many parts of it had me reflecting on the term <a fg_scanned="1" href="https://www.choosingtherapy.com/differentiation-of-self/">differentiation</a> and how that is really important to maturation, and also very different than individualism for which it might be mistaken. I think often in the culture of the church the concept of being differentiated from others can be viewed as selfish, especially for females who are often praised for sacrificing their desires and interests in place of others. It wasn't a perfect movie and had some pretty odd scenes, but I'm glad I saw it. <br /><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>August 6, 2023</b></p><br />We have one more week of summer and so we are trying to get in all the thing we had hoped to do before school starts! This week kicked off with a really fun movie night at T&N's house. Kate made all sorts of cute posters and other things and our kids had a wonderful time. It was fun to go out to a place to eat with T&N, A&B, and M&D during that time. Swim lessons started this week and despite rain the kids were able to go each day (though Greyson had what looked like pink eye one day so he didn't go). They are loving their lessons and enjoying the water. It is hard to believe the years past when swim lessons were so dramatic and horrible (Addie doing "bobs").<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglMsSKHCW8RnomKt4h3pSpQtM7Ml6W2vIpMJq3Em9lCikMIn6_eMdG0_WgGiEDBgtaMivjiISRibsAAYr3ol6DFeX1wkvmGzKJDQYC9EWABe7c9WJ9C34XBIyzDtxziephebETQM4Uzy59mKv54L-uqM7MpTLlkTeCt-XoS1goHKuiJ5mE7OEAzy-F/s2048/IMG_20230731_202446.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglMsSKHCW8RnomKt4h3pSpQtM7Ml6W2vIpMJq3Em9lCikMIn6_eMdG0_WgGiEDBgtaMivjiISRibsAAYr3ol6DFeX1wkvmGzKJDQYC9EWABe7c9WJ9C34XBIyzDtxziephebETQM4Uzy59mKv54L-uqM7MpTLlkTeCt-XoS1goHKuiJ5mE7OEAzy-F/w400-h300/IMG_20230731_202446.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Movie night</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR7f31F9Tjse-VF-34m9P0upoxadsTZ4_vqFhBaQWdeLyHza6a_qneQumPQ_J4sQtn3twM3MHGnzoTElGLfcllT7sCGQlHM8_8kv98y98285wYTIRGudB0dzH0woiNzNABmuLAJyMheY3_bUceMZjMT7Ymd00ilFZ8lcIAYdMqjmpGCzRqzed1fZ1q/s4032/PXL_20230805_200626298.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR7f31F9Tjse-VF-34m9P0upoxadsTZ4_vqFhBaQWdeLyHza6a_qneQumPQ_J4sQtn3twM3MHGnzoTElGLfcllT7sCGQlHM8_8kv98y98285wYTIRGudB0dzH0woiNzNABmuLAJyMheY3_bUceMZjMT7Ymd00ilFZ8lcIAYdMqjmpGCzRqzed1fZ1q/s320/PXL_20230805_200626298.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ninja playground</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUeBoK1S-2dYsH9ZwNqEMDlNXKgXuQP1Jz-KYFElszT4P23zrBYEFeSx9A4J_Sqpnp4qXUDxYus0EVJSBc6WwUBJf73R5FQsuxUrRTCo4ZL5UypmN-yv-LBiUiHj2m3Og3P8fuAB49TN6oMWvVlQAmqwTpdnSYNwdZHWJplfUjO0XkFgAElLyv3x5E/s3264/PXL_20230806_011910302.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUeBoK1S-2dYsH9ZwNqEMDlNXKgXuQP1Jz-KYFElszT4P23zrBYEFeSx9A4J_Sqpnp4qXUDxYus0EVJSBc6WwUBJf73R5FQsuxUrRTCo4ZL5UypmN-yv-LBiUiHj2m3Og3P8fuAB49TN6oMWvVlQAmqwTpdnSYNwdZHWJplfUjO0XkFgAElLyv3x5E/s320/PXL_20230806_011910302.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At Hale Center Theater</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigBYCNDc1G1m_O601kaJ-I3S4BAXoUbuB6iORug7empevD83RNRZ7FevZre7LUO4fNXuHVERxeDQr4-lr1KeU2T_4lppYKAYfLi4HW5Agdk2px9Isg-uEAC7xW5rRcLnQ3AP0hrWzK0VBcQKByyK7IMyo3gBq1-u13BANy5bHPEPGm2O9XUTGqoXAB/s4032/PXL_20230804_234415006.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigBYCNDc1G1m_O601kaJ-I3S4BAXoUbuB6iORug7empevD83RNRZ7FevZre7LUO4fNXuHVERxeDQr4-lr1KeU2T_4lppYKAYfLi4HW5Agdk2px9Isg-uEAC7xW5rRcLnQ3AP0hrWzK0VBcQKByyK7IMyo3gBq1-u13BANy5bHPEPGm2O9XUTGqoXAB/s320/PXL_20230804_234415006.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Progress on the massive jaw breaker</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Kassie's sisters Liana and Rochelle were in town for a concert and stayed with us for a night. We played some games and they took Addie to the Butterfly Biosphere to commemorate her 8th birthday coming up this week. Hinckley had a ton of fun watching Liana play Zelda and they talked video games for much of the day. On Friday I met with a few other Mckinsey employees at a work space in Lehi. They are hoping to have Utah employees get together more regularly (monthly maybe) and it was good to talk with some other people from work in person, though I don't work with any of them on my projects. <br /><br /><br />We received Hinckley's results from his advanced level testing and he got the highest possible score. So this weekend we are all reflecting on whether we should take him to the advanced 5th grade program which is at a different school. It is hard to think about leaving friends, driving many extra minutes a day, etc. but it also feels validating to see his results. <br /><br /><br />Kassie and I went on a fun date Saturday night to see a play at the Hale Center Theater in Sandy (mega huge newish facility) and it was really great! We are celebrating 12 years of marriage this coming week. I started my new calling this Sunday as the assistant ward clerk over membership. I'll be taking notes for Bishopric meeting and ward council and counting people etc. I'm looking forward to it and am feeling peaceful about hanging up the ward mission leader responsibilities.</div></div></div></div></div></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788639825518734443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692445828267763976.post-91141728858655139942023-07-30T14:10:00.001-07:002023-07-30T14:10:06.574-07:00July 2023<p><b>July 30, 2023</b></p><br />We started this week off with a fun visit to T&Ns with the Kays. The kids had a blast running around playing with water balloons, hose, and such. Trent found a miniature basketball hoop he let Greyson play with and then keep. He has been BEYOND excited about it and played every day for at least an hour slam dunking and shooting. He enjoys us turning on Space Jam music or tunes from Dude Perfect videos as he runs around with the ball. He only will break to draw/paint pictures of the NBA or to watch Scooby Doo or Tom and Jerry. Hinckley went to "space camp" on Wednesday. It sounds very much like when I went back in the olden times in which you are placed in a simulator with other kids and basically play out a full Star Trek episode. They have actors and special effects and everything. Hinckley came back with many stories of epic adventure and joy. Addie did a lot of playing with friends and declared that she loves to have a clean and organized room.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-yugV_S5FvB0IbI9iQGDbGvwIZskbRUo6W0nMYkjACZihsc4YOdU03ePNBnIAaGXRfScgECPfbACCzmPbFzQz6ikpgJTk0fEzD7XdiSssidcNNTHTfE6DwLzWyXI8pm79Z6bmXaZckcCYFad0BEOFfqq33eJdwFbNlOnVv-FuYbTZemU9T4C2DIhl/s4032/PXL_20230723_222728444.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-yugV_S5FvB0IbI9iQGDbGvwIZskbRUo6W0nMYkjACZihsc4YOdU03ePNBnIAaGXRfScgECPfbACCzmPbFzQz6ikpgJTk0fEzD7XdiSssidcNNTHTfE6DwLzWyXI8pm79Z6bmXaZckcCYFad0BEOFfqq33eJdwFbNlOnVv-FuYbTZemU9T4C2DIhl/w400-h300/PXL_20230723_222728444.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Building a dam at Tree Park on a Sunday afternoon</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAJl3UBPgOazhL2B7E1EEws8ozylKZbTr-cid1H_t9coqlwQSYR0lLlu2yvOpuDZBobNjiedebWWZzOu37lkzV2ymD1NkeJqC2CAlDN1ga4zN7dvYmxWyBPuq8YodaYZNkgBkhYzaqv-nBuUT1u0EhT8y1JZDYX12NVGMRdUAqRo3c98YsPvhKdEb/s4032/PXL_20230725_134719611.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAJl3UBPgOazhL2B7E1EEws8ozylKZbTr-cid1H_t9coqlwQSYR0lLlu2yvOpuDZBobNjiedebWWZzOu37lkzV2ymD1NkeJqC2CAlDN1ga4zN7dvYmxWyBPuq8YodaYZNkgBkhYzaqv-nBuUT1u0EhT8y1JZDYX12NVGMRdUAqRo3c98YsPvhKdEb/s320/PXL_20230725_134719611.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Alleyway basketball man</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8cVN5iD9KDGTtbwtzQGZcbvvmpoUuclLT4mOLKw1cmsmpCEwcvd3L5NBEUX07-gk4lpkFHrknm143I_GqL1WYcZm7QFuttwHyUG-z7ZGtXB-lfukcdKaA8FegltbGJ-oSus7rCW2_7q-spUJexDy5stSIXfdT056-TigQeAH4EIlv3luAswb7nLf/s4032/PXL_20230729_122558965.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8cVN5iD9KDGTtbwtzQGZcbvvmpoUuclLT4mOLKw1cmsmpCEwcvd3L5NBEUX07-gk4lpkFHrknm143I_GqL1WYcZm7QFuttwHyUG-z7ZGtXB-lfukcdKaA8FegltbGJ-oSus7rCW2_7q-spUJexDy5stSIXfdT056-TigQeAH4EIlv3luAswb7nLf/s320/PXL_20230729_122558965.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Backyard camping</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJ2OQXDuD0hMneEPxw_qk3_J1qGDCCi_A9C4AeKLhAwTwK3kAt9SFTA-x1y6JwPepz4sgyDeIcWTJI9DdF0d_1CPXkoAmyXkX4P72Cmq-hn9lDBrx25C6O-p6VYowgsJl6yqvkFzvb3H7g_jVY58K-MxRuWMTKijPGkOO6rmQE6yJb1XBpkucASMg/s4032/PXL_20230729_160528139.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJ2OQXDuD0hMneEPxw_qk3_J1qGDCCi_A9C4AeKLhAwTwK3kAt9SFTA-x1y6JwPepz4sgyDeIcWTJI9DdF0d_1CPXkoAmyXkX4P72Cmq-hn9lDBrx25C6O-p6VYowgsJl6yqvkFzvb3H7g_jVY58K-MxRuWMTKijPGkOO6rmQE6yJb1XBpkucASMg/s320/PXL_20230729_160528139.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Loaded up on treats for "Go West"</td></tr></tbody></table> </div><br />Friday night we watched a Buster Keaton silent movie called Steamboat Bill Jr. which is one of my favorites.

It went fairly well and then everyone was exhausted the next day. I finished shooting scenes of Greyson playing basketball for a "trick shot" movie he wanted to make.

Also they hiked to a waterfall on Pioneer day and made it through some tribulation before reaching the very beautiful and rewarding falls. Greyson and Addie made ice cream at an event at a park while Hinckley was at space camp. And on Saturday we went to the movie theater to watch Go West (old Studio C cast) and the kids spent nearly all their allowance on nachos and treats.

On Saturday they performed at a local park and did a great job! At first they were both a little unhappy with it all, but by the end they were asking if they could do it again last year.

On Saturday I took the kids swimming at the Lindon pool and Addie started complaining about stomach pain. After we got home she was screaming and crying so I took her to the emergency room at Timpanogos. After some tests and such they sent us home, just some tummy pain...maybe too much frozen pizza? Anyway, it was a memorable experience. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifjPxzqC9MBvBHeOLMB3EhVQNTSXtAoLlRz6svjjYHA_H5mlFNvSC691h6gaj3A8-Z1UrAPTTMuDIbcCAcz4MwtIkmMNHgzyEeFLQeIe4nbIbV3g3YoaHk04M-hwJCL5p7tPl5EQj2sx4JuXIgKxbhtfyhS7XLhKh1TLfQnCChmfaQzYwL6DCZRdwQ/s4032/PXL_20230721_003635890.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifjPxzqC9MBvBHeOLMB3EhVQNTSXtAoLlRz6svjjYHA_H5mlFNvSC691h6gaj3A8-Z1UrAPTTMuDIbcCAcz4MwtIkmMNHgzyEeFLQeIe4nbIbV3g3YoaHk04M-hwJCL5p7tPl5EQj2sx4JuXIgKxbhtfyhS7XLhKh1TLfQnCChmfaQzYwL6DCZRdwQ/w320-h240/PXL_20230721_003635890.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready to see Dude Perfect</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8LEemcekItV4pBh8e0I3NGQkjXiZnV_mmK8mN2myecmZJkCqh96RrZL6tmQImfzYaVuDG02_7Zsw3u59QO2bOgGbI_X5Zxwn3o3guD0VhWw1y1yXioyGfeZSmA06TTlGo7788a6Id9q3t6Ww-eB6bh0gd1HslkkCsOtx3zAoSiX5bsxAx4fBPwc3/s4032/PXL_20230721_005743517.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8LEemcekItV4pBh8e0I3NGQkjXiZnV_mmK8mN2myecmZJkCqh96RrZL6tmQImfzYaVuDG02_7Zsw3u59QO2bOgGbI_X5Zxwn3o3guD0VhWw1y1yXioyGfeZSmA06TTlGo7788a6Id9q3t6Ww-eB6bh0gd1HslkkCsOtx3zAoSiX5bsxAx4fBPwc3/s320/PXL_20230721_005743517.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In the nose bleeds</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgau8da9kGY44rDt0asDmj6hCpQcGjc762bSRlIRRR85zKlhtd4k-1jKvRHrzNov2ZUDWR7E8RTLs56JG_vD6GDwcZQjvwV7dVzH8mRUw7XSF_MQ-a6zrEIGsVbhFwKXAafp530De5-JCy81zijvDoG11zhxAOvVFmKDxNMF_pUQAFRkEIEd0xUt9wW/s4032/PXL_20230721_014707373.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgau8da9kGY44rDt0asDmj6hCpQcGjc762bSRlIRRR85zKlhtd4k-1jKvRHrzNov2ZUDWR7E8RTLs56JG_vD6GDwcZQjvwV7dVzH8mRUw7XSF_MQ-a6zrEIGsVbhFwKXAafp530De5-JCy81zijvDoG11zhxAOvVFmKDxNMF_pUQAFRkEIEd0xUt9wW/s320/PXL_20230721_014707373.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dude Perfect</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5l1PUsVpW4QtVYuYST8zGaLVU7FerGaM8jjeX4fXFXEOUwY45US0YwKPhaCDViHglfuQnFxvs8HHBFbi2IpUZRESXlMDzZloXrRn1b7hae-J_l6unRNvIHFdA4aF2p68xFgPSIyDas8nhXwgSZliE2ygix8sK3qkakAL-LjQi7PNDPr-pBsOTHwnF/s4032/PXL_20230723_003734323.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5l1PUsVpW4QtVYuYST8zGaLVU7FerGaM8jjeX4fXFXEOUwY45US0YwKPhaCDViHglfuQnFxvs8HHBFbi2IpUZRESXlMDzZloXrRn1b7hae-J_l6unRNvIHFdA4aF2p68xFgPSIyDas8nhXwgSZliE2ygix8sK3qkakAL-LjQi7PNDPr-pBsOTHwnF/s320/PXL_20230723_003734323.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Getting checked out that the ER</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><br /></div><div>I finished reading a few interesting books lately, including <i>How Minds Change. </i>It is amazing how complex the human brain is, especially when paired with social interactions and experiences. </div><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>July 16, 2023</b></p>We had a wonderful time with everyone in Bear Lake this past week!

Addie and I had a "Ties and Tiaras" dad/daughter dance for our date on Thursday night in Sandy. They had an artist there who drew a picture of us, a 360 degree photo booth, a DJ with mist, lasers, and lots of great music and games, and lots of amazing treats and a soda bar. We had a blast. Addie said many wonderful things like, “This is perfect” and “I’m so happy!” and “I love this so much!” I nearly cried while dancing with her on a few slow songs. I’m very grateful we could go. She is growing up so darn fast.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5WgTCzQnZo3gA2RfHuXbePfaEpRfa5pq72D-ccouWP5iH-4fumHR87KRp_cIgcc20P3I6S2IKuUrYklrTIby3YPq4woTUsi_IvSNC-3xLKoppuLRFTdB2Ag1-DUFH5lrDEcG97NwmtRXpipF3oTy1S4-YSvxOFTvcm2MRPGchagGHZ9fRo9ng3Qdu/s3264/PXL_20230715_011757479.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5WgTCzQnZo3gA2RfHuXbePfaEpRfa5pq72D-ccouWP5iH-4fumHR87KRp_cIgcc20P3I6S2IKuUrYklrTIby3YPq4woTUsi_IvSNC-3xLKoppuLRFTdB2Ag1-DUFH5lrDEcG97NwmtRXpipF3oTy1S4-YSvxOFTvcm2MRPGchagGHZ9fRo9ng3Qdu/s320/PXL_20230715_011757479.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">With our art work</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMsq9t2o-orPNG2G21grjh_kOwaPhalq4_wWEgLnrPVqrB_FHlFtjzef62s7BvEshQMabfqd188qbL7WpvD62rJCtOlVjwiR9-9lc4FW6ThARYVon2YZq3EJM-fMc1PF7p_P-IWUiWEW_lxCoHXMYedQHtwRfeF4ezwtYpk9az-OsSu-d3dN7k0_vk/s3264/PXL_20230715_002637498.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMsq9t2o-orPNG2G21grjh_kOwaPhalq4_wWEgLnrPVqrB_FHlFtjzef62s7BvEshQMabfqd188qbL7WpvD62rJCtOlVjwiR9-9lc4FW6ThARYVon2YZq3EJM-fMc1PF7p_P-IWUiWEW_lxCoHXMYedQHtwRfeF4ezwtYpk9az-OsSu-d3dN7k0_vk/s320/PXL_20230715_002637498.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Royalty</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_beyQ7KNulbis9lyHIClcFs8-Y0txr2lYeSvirazDtyfPwY9SPrj_RznLLgL2RTfGXlFi5HxBcNUi59V7DR3ldnIMSx6nC0-hbZqkMFetY5XLA0zgBJrtQTk4PnjDdHNK1ueTy-C8zGtj_AwRr6M39CsR24Vj3EIwkblEJzqNzcx1x3pdECP1t9rC/s4032/PXL_20230714_234400711.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_beyQ7KNulbis9lyHIClcFs8-Y0txr2lYeSvirazDtyfPwY9SPrj_RznLLgL2RTfGXlFi5HxBcNUi59V7DR3ldnIMSx6nC0-hbZqkMFetY5XLA0zgBJrtQTk4PnjDdHNK1ueTy-C8zGtj_AwRr6M39CsR24Vj3EIwkblEJzqNzcx1x3pdECP1t9rC/s320/PXL_20230714_234400711.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready to dance</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>On Saturday Kassie and I had a temple date with dinner at Aubergine afterwards. The kids did ok with the babysitter. We watched the final Harry Potter 7 movie with Hinckley in the evening and he is ready to move on to finishing the Star Wars movies. I went up to the Utah Capitol building for a tour with the Strenuous Life men's group which was a good experience. I've never had the time or space to just look around there and explore.<p><b>July 9, 2023</b></p>We had a very full and fun 4th of July week this week and enjoyed time with many of you. For the holiday we had a slow morning and enjoyed donuts from a local bakery. We then went to some of the Colonial Village at the Scera but were too late to watch Cries of Freedom (full) so we went to 1220 to prepare for swimming. Everyone seemed to have an enjoyable time at the Provo Rec Center, and then setting off fireworks with cousins afterward. Kassie made a tasty fruit pizza for dessert. We ended the evening with a neighborhood firework show that was the real deal. We literally had shrapnel and ash raining down on us as we strained our necks looking at the explosions overhead. The kids lost their minds with joy.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLYTaZwB2GTIIH2XsgMbzwS9NKWbflFM9aeDu1fQUgoOxUio76HclUa92an5a8NQNhd1yBP9SBPCNBzmeAVAjuBAsVRDAuHHhDHmBGP3MCUNuCBuHWU8jThanH_r-8-o9omnijylzcSCtsit2d1FsNK7b88sG0JeAw_tN5J9-3nCfNed36u8YAOuG4/s4032/PXL_20230704_133853679.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

Then we got some dip and dots and watched a few other competitions (throwing a heavy ball and dancing) and heard a ton of bagpipes.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9oGtBPBfFvEK5TGk6HwfAWRy0Dw50dFGAMp4110kQDslfN61PMazm95B8fz6Kn5ZntSYnHB1K6L5naYJYVXv5KCC9Szh6Ur2pt9s8ZBBiVdp-yJaLIDf9yWc2IxryyA4jGeKV8GJ0Ue7GFOWMBskBKEHrkWBpWuesIkR2sfolgJ7xn7t3FEmgnIC8/s4032/PXL_20230708_172110923.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9oGtBPBfFvEK5TGk6HwfAWRy0Dw50dFGAMp4110kQDslfN61PMazm95B8fz6Kn5ZntSYnHB1K6L5naYJYVXv5KCC9Szh6Ur2pt9s8ZBBiVdp-yJaLIDf9yWc2IxryyA4jGeKV8GJ0Ue7GFOWMBskBKEHrkWBpWuesIkR2sfolgJ7xn7t3FEmgnIC8/s320/PXL_20230708_172110923.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dip n Dots in the shade</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCdJzqUrlXi5By_uJyXNs20A9eJProjOG11gLrowt3TQCt_OMF0mmMYa2um_AEE9Kkb5-iZXaiz7BggjRk1BBbuFiKnnm2x0UrJKlCBj-I1PxK9aiQ9bz_L7o0YdYMicf4Pd63BFzm36rynkx_3tgO2oeVR4DtyNDCF-jg2zhsRyYEexT-6UNG0R8C/s4032/PXL_20230708_163459677.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCdJzqUrlXi5By_uJyXNs20A9eJProjOG11gLrowt3TQCt_OMF0mmMYa2um_AEE9Kkb5-iZXaiz7BggjRk1BBbuFiKnnm2x0UrJKlCBj-I1PxK9aiQ9bz_L7o0YdYMicf4Pd63BFzm36rynkx_3tgO2oeVR4DtyNDCF-jg2zhsRyYEexT-6UNG0R8C/s320/PXL_20230708_163459677.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie vanquishes her foe</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTGww2LTFRt78mRxNmae2clqtQHeiXNRcTm3UEaM8WcArTy5Xo7YzEsFgAh-nAa6L5ZywBKq0_Td5PVZ-LjwkNksnY3ZGQItWih8Y_pDPqksn_XpSnqgPtKIX6LVb4jscazRKG1z0v497aAIGRVvnEjoTQBBhS9HZd0qAuC7KpAWGrerVlNhpaJd0/s4032/PXL_20230708_163318740.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTGww2LTFRt78mRxNmae2clqtQHeiXNRcTm3UEaM8WcArTy5Xo7YzEsFgAh-nAa6L5ZywBKq0_Td5PVZ-LjwkNksnY3ZGQItWih8Y_pDPqksn_XpSnqgPtKIX6LVb4jscazRKG1z0v497aAIGRVvnEjoTQBBhS9HZd0qAuC7KpAWGrerVlNhpaJd0/s320/PXL_20230708_163318740.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley's victory</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5VJTo_JMI7IMw1YEnqrczVJC0fkIXec9UTSC4B1cosWxLsTA5S1YdWIOP8mADZbgEwf9QWqOo_oReiMyWmgJbnrauPlg93BBv1JOD0ocLBN5Bky-jBSdsJomoLLCqqVkf_e9IpIQUrMgJB4t9gf2viYCl3Vu25GOamVoi_M9gwmJxd0USNAUhowkZ/s4032/PXL_20230708_163208954.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5VJTo_JMI7IMw1YEnqrczVJC0fkIXec9UTSC4B1cosWxLsTA5S1YdWIOP8mADZbgEwf9QWqOo_oReiMyWmgJbnrauPlg93BBv1JOD0ocLBN5Bky-jBSdsJomoLLCqqVkf_e9IpIQUrMgJB4t9gf2viYCl3Vu25GOamVoi_M9gwmJxd0USNAUhowkZ/s320/PXL_20230708_163208954.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson accepts the enemy surrender</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Kassie and I went and played Pickleball Saturday evening after we put the two youngers to bed and while Hinckley was reading.

They used a program called Scratch to code actions for little lego robots. Pretty cool! He is also enjoying his "30 days lost in space" electrical unit challenge which is this month-long asynchronous learning program that helps kids discover basic coding and arduino development. I don't understand most of it so its fun to see him grow in that way." Seemingly out of the blue Hinckley declared he wanted to have his mullet removed. We don't know what came over him but after 2 days he still had the desire so the deed was done. He vowed to me on Sunday that he will never cut his hair again. So perhaps he will become as Samson. He had a wonderful time staying the night at 1220 with cousins and seeing the fireworks. It was heaven for him.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqTcZzX-S5F87fmf8BELP3T8M5I3JFR81JzdvglzPOR-kFhxIHvjJ4bJy8wUWb9M3hQH1WYdS5v5c4qMUW6rZKXx5FXlACHuEr3EEwC0mHkvLQwEpmsPSZ_RpXaoSPNTmbfVkPcUzQXuN0q8O3pOkKpoCIO5aNR381gXvgeo41Ko4r5U7R7y6Erc03/s4032/PXL_20230627_170306031.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqTcZzX-S5F87fmf8BELP3T8M5I3JFR81JzdvglzPOR-kFhxIHvjJ4bJy8wUWb9M3hQH1WYdS5v5c4qMUW6rZKXx5FXlACHuEr3EEwC0mHkvLQwEpmsPSZ_RpXaoSPNTmbfVkPcUzQXuN0q8O3pOkKpoCIO5aNR381gXvgeo41Ko4r5U7R7y6Erc03/s320/PXL_20230627_170306031.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Before</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr1_5NRbs_vWyyter8caF3dI7ZmZs2VdCpH6fwlSrOE0K2aVxxNQi7SVowtXcEIOeTam3yk1SxnXOvwgsKgXR_gJoQ1Mpv52wHm_J5karYSDxsNHXwaOXNgOiEUAWtW71Wm3zEYznuRMuRHJTB2nPcPmBpIODYDmaCcjewzk10o6fuoDzU72OWrsdt/s4032/PXL_20230627_183344358.PORTRAIT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr1_5NRbs_vWyyter8caF3dI7ZmZs2VdCpH6fwlSrOE0K2aVxxNQi7SVowtXcEIOeTam3yk1SxnXOvwgsKgXR_gJoQ1Mpv52wHm_J5karYSDxsNHXwaOXNgOiEUAWtW71Wm3zEYznuRMuRHJTB2nPcPmBpIODYDmaCcjewzk10o6fuoDzU72OWrsdt/s320/PXL_20230627_183344358.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh370NkgazIvw4PiwVj1rfOqlfkOU-mI84lY3YizI6lGumndv9uskd0y72tcdOZ1GoSXVJf4dSD_3ExS-cmIWSNMXvvZd-Tt-gwepnPM192_QMo7OCv5ViJVlvj01NDAdwS2CxCIOXyPCST5am0WbiiX0ySkp6m7CLaqmxIAIAP5MX3uW9ksJTgSBXP/s4032/PXL_20230628_155635869.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh370NkgazIvw4PiwVj1rfOqlfkOU-mI84lY3YizI6lGumndv9uskd0y72tcdOZ1GoSXVJf4dSD_3ExS-cmIWSNMXvvZd-Tt-gwepnPM192_QMo7OCv5ViJVlvj01NDAdwS2CxCIOXyPCST5am0WbiiX0ySkp6m7CLaqmxIAIAP5MX3uW9ksJTgSBXP/s320/PXL_20230628_155635869.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hike to silver lake with Mom</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgReUTTLdFg0qdHC0dekPFwvdvugsOCHYMgwwt7g_cCjiTia5B0zaXMFQ_MpLUDOF9eYsFN1ELK4PX90iVzKzOnUTqsKPNOseKWQvmcCGb5zLZCGCSEjZqSgWyctHlICXqojsHhss4ONl1hbekn58AtmsoT2lUoZX3ZUm6gd0MZ3rlYB87iMBky7JoT/s4032/PXL_20230628_211732873.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgReUTTLdFg0qdHC0dekPFwvdvugsOCHYMgwwt7g_cCjiTia5B0zaXMFQ_MpLUDOF9eYsFN1ELK4PX90iVzKzOnUTqsKPNOseKWQvmcCGb5zLZCGCSEjZqSgWyctHlICXqojsHhss4ONl1hbekn58AtmsoT2lUoZX3ZUm6gd0MZ3rlYB87iMBky7JoT/s320/PXL_20230628_211732873.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Scratch Robotics</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>Addie had a wonderful time with Sadie and Kate this weekend.

He constantly wants me to move the hoop, or higher and lower it. And his latest thing is he wants me to agree to make videos of him doing trick shots to put on YouTube for “strangers” to watch so he could be “popular”. Oh boy. That is what happens I suppose when your 5 year old watches too much Dude Perfect. He is extremely excited about doing basketball which will start in a month or two. He had a lot of fun running around with James and Henry in Provo and it was fun to see them bond a bit. We went to the Rush Funplex in Orem with Mom and Dad where there were things like bowling, laser tag, bumper cars and more, but his favorite was the rock wall and flying trapeze over the foam pit.

I don't have the space or patience to write it all out but here are a few highlights: <br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Kassie took the kids to the hot springs in Saratoga Springs and later to the dollar store. Most kids like most of both activities.</li><li>Sophie's wedding week we enjoyed lots of time with family. Kassie and Addie went down to Provo for the bridal shower and it sounded like a success. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone at other times in the week. It was a successful event from what we experienced!</li><li>Addie and Hinckley went to a primary day camp at This Is The Place monument in SLC. Despite some rain at the beginning they both had a really great time and were in very positive moods about it all.</li><li>We went to Yellowstone and stayed in an RV in Island Park. Everyone had a great time! Despite lots of rain on Sunday we were able to have a good trip seeing hot pots and wildlife and all sorts of other wonderful things. Overall the kids seemed to really enjoy the trip. A highlight for me was taking a dip in the Snake river with them …. So cold but memorable and fun. </li><li>Greyson used his money to pay half for a new small basketball hoop off of KSL and has been obsessed with basketball. He wanted to sleep with his basketball and says he will never part from it. It may be a new chapter turning post Ninja life...perhaps the key is whatever sport he watches on TV becomes his new obsession. We enjoyed watching the Nuggets win their first NBA title.</li><li>Celebrating James and Henry's birthdays and seeing them at our home and the BYU Botany pond (along with Trent and Kate). We fed ducks and floated tin foil boats in the stream there which was a big success. </li><li>Our garden continues to produce in much abundance thanks to Kassie's constant vigilance. The strawberries are SO GOOD. </li></ul><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNfp8QdaA7xkmxNx76wbORAn99KeZZXbtGG9_7g1hrE5qtragikhXMPyiundCoIfa-raG4Y9MMtIHm87wrgO1XIiCYUM-tmliLmJ9E3mke1-ZvdxMc789Znj3_l-S9q1stCfEkDw7udoe63SqOQeCuUmgHUCN3iPXz-dg55bcTgwEFwwStfSMJPwfF/s4032/PXL_20230611_174247446.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

Greyson was especially interested. A few days later he asked me, "Remember that sweaty guy?" I realized after further discussion he was talking about one of the players who had shot some free throws during that game. He was really thinking about that all through the week! He decided he loves basketball and vowed he would never part from his basketball. He did a lot of dribble practice on the back porch. And He and Hinckley played a basketball game against me on the park court near our house and they got really into it. <br /><br /><br />Kassie and I got to volunteer at the Saratoga Springs Temple open house (the 3rd temple we've been at during the dedication...!). The kids had a blast in Provo with their cousins. It was neat to see all the people coming through the temple and their various reactions to it. Also good to get to know some of the youth in our ward who came up with some extremely creative games/activities using discarded shoe coverings. Addie and I went and saw The Little Mermaid in the evening for a date. She held my hand for much of it, and wanted to sit on my lap during the loud and scary parts. I felt a pang of sorrow when Trident mourns the necessary "loss of his little one" at the end and thought a bit about Sophie this week. I also finished the first Anne of Green Gables this week and was nearly in tears! Reading about a kid growing up has a very different effect on me now than it did when I read this book back in college.<div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXNQOJ3XvH_0-zrVJDIvKcU4O6SI9HuqcBk6PKV5MCiPEQqNkoloUtt42kSGsAw8DyHZX5leQGqZ_F1jFBZCMjxAtxJSkFFyYpiU6td_Ga_CFdjYj6ro8rsRowyI9cWl6bO7aZumYzHhH-zEIt_ENi1P62qM1bYETYVakn9qt7rFZHAaZsfaEXQ/s4032/PXL_20230611_234118822.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPXNQOJ3XvH_0-zrVJDIvKcU4O6SI9HuqcBk6PKV5MCiPEQqNkoloUtt42kSGsAw8DyHZX5leQGqZ_F1jFBZCMjxAtxJSkFFyYpiU6td_Ga_CFdjYj6ro8rsRowyI9cWl6bO7aZumYzHhH-zEIt_ENi1P62qM1bYETYVakn9qt7rFZHAaZsfaEXQ/s320/PXL_20230611_234118822.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cousin Uno game</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /><p><b>June 4, 2023</b></p>We had a fun week in Colorado visiting the Burnsides. On Memorial Day Monday we went up into the mountains and took turns riding the UTV (sort of like a 4-wheeler), building stick houses, and had a picnic lunch. The rest of the week was filled with fun activities such as going to the zoo, building wooden boats with Grandad, hiking, arcade games and prizes, hot tubbing, treasure hunts at Fox Run Park, a fondue night, and much more. For the first few days of our visit, Dan and Sam were there with their kids. Greyson and Lilah really hit it off and enjoyed being "mischievous" together. Shepherd is a very affectionate kid and kept giving everyone big tight hugs. Kassie and I had a fun getaway to a bed and breakfast in downtown Colorado Springs one evening. The kids had a great time with their grandparents while we were away. We drove back to Utah on Saturday through lots of rain and everyone is ready to "start summer". <div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

He discovered the joy of building his own video game of sorts in Scratch and that fed his imagination in these last days. He and I had a really fun date going mountain biking at an instructional trailhead (that's a thing!) in Draper. It was a perfect day, a great trail for us beginners, and hardly a soul around.

I suppose this is the last time we’ll be doing that, or maybe next to last time actually as she is finishing that up this week. Hinckley has really improved his frisbee throwing and it was a lot of fun throwing that back and forth together! We've been doing that a lot lately. <br /><br /><br />Greyson has been asking for a tank top lately. He wants to have one for his exercise and to be a true ninja. So early this week Kassie took him to Kid-to-Kid and he was extremely excited to come home and put it on. It is a bright yellow-green color and he wore it basically all week. He has LOVED the outside weather and has been going to a park in the mornings, playing outside much of the day (he even turned the TV off himself) and then playing at the park this evenings if he can convince people to go with him. He has been falling asleep nearly as soon as his head hits the pillow and only wakes up when he has bloody noses in the wee hours of the morning. He loved spending time with Grandpa and Nana and was a good friend with Kelli at the Tulip Festival in Thanksgiving Point.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I took the boys for the evening activities but decided to not camp since Saturday was so packed. We drove way over on the west side of Utah like directly behind West mountain. I’ve never been there before and it was pretty neat to get that perspective of the valley. Hinckley had some friends from school there and he had a good time doing things with them. Greyson and I tried badminton, a fun frisbee throwing game, and then writing/drawing in the dirt. We also saw some lizards in a wood pile that he liked, and also “explored the wilderness” for a little before the mosquitos began eating my head. Hinckley’s other highlight was we discovered an old tall wooden tower of sorts. Working together we engineered a way for him to climb up to the top which made him very happy (he couldn’t imagine doing anything else until he conquered that).</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg73E48hLMbXFt3CXhJEbkQt38TSm0CudQX2sBqI6-MxFamCsyE7ajmCEyIIVBdDvS5lOsA60PEZoRtKg8VCFa1gM4UobaRq__UZyDGEbRJ_kn_ydKKWA_ShU2NwYBs6rkxDWFgutOf04bVP7cZ5tIJNMYehCNffGQsDtrSTKJtnY7t2R6hyrOx2w/s4032/PXL_20230520_003625475.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg73E48hLMbXFt3CXhJEbkQt38TSm0CudQX2sBqI6-MxFamCsyE7ajmCEyIIVBdDvS5lOsA60PEZoRtKg8VCFa1gM4UobaRq__UZyDGEbRJ_kn_ydKKWA_ShU2NwYBs6rkxDWFgutOf04bVP7cZ5tIJNMYehCNffGQsDtrSTKJtnY7t2R6hyrOx2w/s320/PXL_20230520_003625475.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Tower (with our Gatorade)</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNCcP2gOVJm7TudTpbsFgy6PoF5-tZoMPGCddlrz0OI6QJuvApuAGTLlly5mfs7Zcc3-kmZQm-X6sRrAZvxBqmsHQ3u7w_9pJ219HsIlvZIM4GoCPIZmHItTr_I1lgXVYHxnpxJfiuG2Ljepxajbfutptts6_RGzkyioNqajr7JgSKeyo_95ZOTw/s3264/PXL_20230520_003717484.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNCcP2gOVJm7TudTpbsFgy6PoF5-tZoMPGCddlrz0OI6QJuvApuAGTLlly5mfs7Zcc3-kmZQm-X6sRrAZvxBqmsHQ3u7w_9pJ219HsIlvZIM4GoCPIZmHItTr_I1lgXVYHxnpxJfiuG2Ljepxajbfutptts6_RGzkyioNqajr7JgSKeyo_95ZOTw/s320/PXL_20230520_003717484.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Father's and Son's</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizN1ZZJMyWJQftH6Id7miHSJGBBD7fTEPqNnrhsyJEvTcechOdAizfKpjOZ8FjiytNT6vEeSga29WHWjSA2-Oqnzv2lQTH-IVVHPnhj80c3spctPJYXzShOt-qKx-rbybiCrMn10qr0IP2ZAORdr5aM2Xhebdwu6tW_IXVZltVyF3YrgPrITnzrw/s4032/PXL_20230520_005738624.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizN1ZZJMyWJQftH6Id7miHSJGBBD7fTEPqNnrhsyJEvTcechOdAizfKpjOZ8FjiytNT6vEeSga29WHWjSA2-Oqnzv2lQTH-IVVHPnhj80c3spctPJYXzShOt-qKx-rbybiCrMn10qr0IP2ZAORdr5aM2Xhebdwu6tW_IXVZltVyF3YrgPrITnzrw/s320/PXL_20230520_005738624.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley waiting to play 9 Square</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaVIs75dc22mNkZX3foPYS7xmr0wR8Qb00n68zyUoW0tYsRH7nsu59jT3kHePqKYBAVgby7UrQNTfsxErCwtQcnbWMuG9cMzBIQdbqZOHAQbhjwMe94dZn7QyQ_JtYnGbIHO-yBWoyixNBuxsKl-gKBCHJmjNasiYTXKX-ohdrQY_CZowfb_DEfg/s4032/PXL_20230520_011811650.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaVIs75dc22mNkZX3foPYS7xmr0wR8Qb00n68zyUoW0tYsRH7nsu59jT3kHePqKYBAVgby7UrQNTfsxErCwtQcnbWMuG9cMzBIQdbqZOHAQbhjwMe94dZn7QyQ_JtYnGbIHO-yBWoyixNBuxsKl-gKBCHJmjNasiYTXKX-ohdrQY_CZowfb_DEfg/s320/PXL_20230520_011811650.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson joy in the dirt</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </div><div>Addie and Kassie had a really fun girls night while we were out.

Greyson had his Ninja showcase this morning and was very excited about getting a medal and showing our whole family all he could do. It was really cute to see him up there doing his different activities. Hinckley had his second annual BBQ piano recital, and it likely will be his last. He has been voicing a desire to quit and given he has gone 2 years beyond Lets Play Music we are calling it a victory. He is interested in violin at the moment so perhaps we’ll give that a try. He was excited to have Nana and Grandpa come, along with Logan. Logan came home with us to play Zelda with Hinckley and they were very excited to do that together for a few hours. Addie’s concert this evening was her last Let’s Play Music event and she played her own composition “My Friend- Snowman”. I’m glad she made it to the end, and it looks like she won’t continue with piano. It has been very very difficult these last few months just to go to the lessons. She is interested in choir though so perhaps she will sing and enjoy that.

They can be redeemed for a custom “toy” that he creates. I got a little bottle cap glued to a paper which is supposed to hold flipped coins. He also has been writing little love notes to Kassie and others that say “I luv u”. Very cute. Greyson and Kassie had a fun date hiking the Y on Monday. He got a ton of hiking/outside time in this week as he spent Tuesday and Thursday morning with Grandpa going on multiple hikes and attending a couple different parks as well. He really soaked it all in! He has been begging for scrap wood and metal to "make stuff" and so we got some more scrap from Lowe's on Saturday. He joyously set to hammering away as soon as we got home.

She told me about a game at recess where she has been pretending to be a little English girl with French friends (they make up the French language as well) haha. It was really cute overhearing Addie and her friend Brooke playing here at home while I was working. They were playing “Little House on the Prairie” wearing bonnets and even pretending to be blind like Laura's sister Mary. On Saturday Addie got her ears pierced on a date with Kassie after ice skating lessons and then they had a picnic afterward. I was a little surprised she faced the fear of the pain but she did and has been elated about it. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSrPZko8C6jIj_v_8mBmqL_wqp-xzr6-3CZacdy8Ll0xr-FhfycSqGBAHHMAhAcENyXN9taG6rSsVx5BckEky_ZnNlWEwYp3GwT0oRYzUIQWnf3OOJTHQnxBWuCRQubV8AfL-HF1luSlduvXPHdA_C7ZKq6rh7ODPrhmEUYB2Yq82dJ-yY6Q_owQ/s4032/PXL_20230513_184405765.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSrPZko8C6jIj_v_8mBmqL_wqp-xzr6-3CZacdy8Ll0xr-FhfycSqGBAHHMAhAcENyXN9taG6rSsVx5BckEky_ZnNlWEwYp3GwT0oRYzUIQWnf3OOJTHQnxBWuCRQubV8AfL-HF1luSlduvXPHdA_C7ZKq6rh7ODPrhmEUYB2Yq82dJ-yY6Q_owQ/s320/PXL_20230513_184405765.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Surviving getting ears pierced</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br />Hinckley is ready for school to end and had some tough moments this week wishing this were the case here and now. That said, all was made right on Saturday when he was able to trade in two of his Switch games and all his money to get the newest Zelda game which he has been anticipating for about 2 years now. He was so excited to dive in and discover that there are seemingly infinite possibilities to create and explore in the game. It is really quite remarkable. He read The Hobbit for the third time and we got some books about electrical engineering from the library he is pretty interested in. So here's to hoping he can continue being curious.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UdNV5bgwSYozHlYEsbzw1izfHQ3JY_xy9xoh8VRFoN2lbZTVpEX4ckfo-1TW10ey2VWiDU4dGOsE9OFNS2kMNTaU6s9XRKMr8g0YwcbMPAz9sKOZNNl-mqZXLJPc6kOIGYiWVOVMsKfjZ_CyARjoNxfa6X2tbyWhsmA3ig-ofhl-cQiEgY4bcQ/s4032/PXL_20230513_173853973.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UdNV5bgwSYozHlYEsbzw1izfHQ3JY_xy9xoh8VRFoN2lbZTVpEX4ckfo-1TW10ey2VWiDU4dGOsE9OFNS2kMNTaU6s9XRKMr8g0YwcbMPAz9sKOZNNl-mqZXLJPc6kOIGYiWVOVMsKfjZ_CyARjoNxfa6X2tbyWhsmA3ig-ofhl-cQiEgY4bcQ/s320/PXL_20230513_173853973.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tears of the Kingdom</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUXw8aMTMZGlvF0XSLRdSSupy5sKXFtxVzpFIrWwNyiuIoJQzFrqp1YrJnfV14VV0gLUzUTLXUHGvlqzPoFU7jOovFj0anUiH3L7c4DUOHsTBXJaLLckObmwCf3IVcYa6ugRusnAqJknXBNInNZy4WsRlfzb3kABlIA4NqLY79QnwyRfvgZoPoA/s4032/PXL_20230508_011509539.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUXw8aMTMZGlvF0XSLRdSSupy5sKXFtxVzpFIrWwNyiuIoJQzFrqp1YrJnfV14VV0gLUzUTLXUHGvlqzPoFU7jOovFj0anUiH3L7c4DUOHsTBXJaLLckObmwCf3IVcYa6ugRusnAqJknXBNInNZy4WsRlfzb3kABlIA4NqLY79QnwyRfvgZoPoA/s320/PXL_20230508_011509539.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Reading and sketching Ball-O</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVpk84lb6nXckwcTXsl613cUpsPBm3P_cvdpvU7r6j_OZp50Vdx8q3Vhdrkto7reOWYajwhLX4pK4CuYemErIPM7JTYaHLSh8_Ksu4P98AnQ051Ot5FS-kPvptvF22UG-SUB7YeUJtlWlhspf6mXnFvEjwzx8tgSEjtxUhwnjEU6ZViX5JC_XTvg/s4032/PXL_20230507_184304698.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVpk84lb6nXckwcTXsl613cUpsPBm3P_cvdpvU7r6j_OZp50Vdx8q3Vhdrkto7reOWYajwhLX4pK4CuYemErIPM7JTYaHLSh8_Ksu4P98AnQ051Ot5FS-kPvptvF22UG-SUB7YeUJtlWlhspf6mXnFvEjwzx8tgSEjtxUhwnjEU6ZViX5JC_XTvg/s320/PXL_20230507_184304698.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Doing some coding with the Raspberry Pi</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><p><b>May 7</b></p><p>This week Addie got to bring her white fox diorama to school and share that.

It has truly spung here in Lehi. The highlight this week was attending the Saratoga Springs Temple open house with our family. The kids did really well and enjoyed it a lot. They had a lot of questions after and it was great to talk through things with them. Hinckley was eager to sit down in the celestial room and later asked if there was a time limit for how long people could sit in there when you attend the temple. Addie asked if you had to pay to get into the temple which prompted a discussion about temple recommends and tithing. Greyson’s favorite part was all the nice looking drinking fountains, he stopped at least 4 times to slurp up some water as we continued the tour. They really enjoyed it and felt the warmth and peace that comes from that remarkable place. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu1K9Ihkm7fE8bEjfUcXYQzyT_wGR0AWin-xJDCupY2PoAubBQrxUjJAbkc_h354_JvaPmBINyQNyi58Ss5aaLXe6m0DgpoDQOug28Ztb_y7vWx0jAgohkrV7q0qS7Ydh3QemTsiVu2BWLfEdvL4teFjtCbArCmGIMbfkNDoJ0fsuOuV5ViuRjbQ/s4032/PXL_20230426_004002252.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu1K9Ihkm7fE8bEjfUcXYQzyT_wGR0AWin-xJDCupY2PoAubBQrxUjJAbkc_h354_JvaPmBINyQNyi58Ss5aaLXe6m0DgpoDQOug28Ztb_y7vWx0jAgohkrV7q0qS7Ydh3QemTsiVu2BWLfEdvL4teFjtCbArCmGIMbfkNDoJ0fsuOuV5ViuRjbQ/s320/PXL_20230426_004002252.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Saratoga Springs Temple Open House</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdsqRB4FVJkm5X05XTpEaO-CHpKNux4OqpU2lnfCeagbDXw1xGvFQ91wcUg0Pc1SBgMwRJAhPd-zOX7x0DxYdvZ4CM_V-oLntIntmJSSbU3iTNu9-dWB850bVrhVXl8-chJqG-kpIDdX2hjMe6OxYoqu13-_HFI77XK4yieqKA-Wt1ylW-c-uCg/s4032/PXL_20230426_003952198.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdsqRB4FVJkm5X05XTpEaO-CHpKNux4OqpU2lnfCeagbDXw1xGvFQ91wcUg0Pc1SBgMwRJAhPd-zOX7x0DxYdvZ4CM_V-oLntIntmJSSbU3iTNu9-dWB850bVrhVXl8-chJqG-kpIDdX2hjMe6OxYoqu13-_HFI77XK4yieqKA-Wt1ylW-c-uCg/s320/PXL_20230426_003952198.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Saratoga Springs Temple Open House<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div>On Monday there was no school due to a Teacher Work day so I took Addie to Chick-Fil-A for a date for lunch and for donuts at the Lehi Bakery. She was pretty happy with that! She had two birthday parties on Saturday and was in heaven with those. We had some of the boys in our neighborhood over on Saturday night to watch Holes and are hoping Hinckley can connect with them more often. Hinckley's recent excitement this week is about coding Python and has started learning that coding language at home. From what he has been able to figure out from quizzing his primary teacher he can get a small micro computer called a Raspberry Pi Pica that he can code using Python so it will power his creation he's been envisioning for a few months. He's been pestering us now to buy his own computer. He and I took some really nice bike rides this weekend and enjoyed the blossoms, snow-capped mountains, and the amazing view of the lake as we rode through the perfect breeze and sunshine. So great! </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguVs1MN31ibSdK3rTUtIMZmBjz71OY4eHAW4jnjNi8P05BXQxiM0sn4PbJNBfjrvTAAwmbor8_Xym1DwAi3dBe4O6wv--DtRss7yKEhRVXcoLkrwMaMtaNQrKJcR8eeg2dzAb1VKhAI-2HUsG62svP7A8MdgGu1EdBTttYItkszrk8nds3cRJNeg/s4032/PXL_20230429_145849225.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguVs1MN31ibSdK3rTUtIMZmBjz71OY4eHAW4jnjNi8P05BXQxiM0sn4PbJNBfjrvTAAwmbor8_Xym1DwAi3dBe4O6wv--DtRss7yKEhRVXcoLkrwMaMtaNQrKJcR8eeg2dzAb1VKhAI-2HUsG62svP7A8MdgGu1EdBTttYItkszrk8nds3cRJNeg/s320/PXL_20230429_145849225.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson at Ninja class</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdYjyjUbdDE72vWOGpDu-ZDM6AYmKIgD33SX5-nIzhDrI268_oN-2MH3lIwIIZ82-pM8boOThMZ62suAMw-qHG70nyyrz1VWaRGlxrVUTgmP3b8k9EEA3lQeQjMWvgv0RAHO1ZvazGHYPpq7bVzhchdOBqsQXlLj4AYkpk2grwhzBh311FnRcFg/s4032/PXL_20230429_213614603.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdYjyjUbdDE72vWOGpDu-ZDM6AYmKIgD33SX5-nIzhDrI268_oN-2MH3lIwIIZ82-pM8boOThMZ62suAMw-qHG70nyyrz1VWaRGlxrVUTgmP3b8k9EEA3lQeQjMWvgv0RAHO1ZvazGHYPpq7bVzhchdOBqsQXlLj4AYkpk2grwhzBh311FnRcFg/w400-h300/PXL_20230429_213614603.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">On the Ninja line </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSdza4mvkFIXAVqDt_fkLoDEXZszMdRXTGrpBWIdNBKlVhadK585v5ncaqiDaCS2yflALItqgEb4pLPjvPaa-umWcPiHQZGVI-ycjrZ2RuvOHS_5FVUHTedm0uOv9EgXJ9VYKQUPop2_rVQsoGSsrG_4cpUVdq30V_j4E8fCygcL8gtimfEA9dEA/s4032/PXL_20230429_213626666.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSdza4mvkFIXAVqDt_fkLoDEXZszMdRXTGrpBWIdNBKlVhadK585v5ncaqiDaCS2yflALItqgEb4pLPjvPaa-umWcPiHQZGVI-ycjrZ2RuvOHS_5FVUHTedm0uOv9EgXJ9VYKQUPop2_rVQsoGSsrG_4cpUVdq30V_j4E8fCygcL8gtimfEA9dEA/s320/PXL_20230429_213626666.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley's electrical engineering projects</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Greyson caught me about to recycle a giant box.

Hinckley has become very taken with it and is even more happy that he dominates all of us (including me) in it. He is really soaking in the power trip haha. It is fun playing with him despite my getting destroyed every time. Hinckley has finished up his black hole report he's been working on after school and reacted really positively to my feedback on his first draft. He continues to have endlessly complex and interesting questions about the universe and physics and more that even with AI/google I'm pretty useless in answering. He and Kassie has a fun date this week making a cake Hinckley really wanted called "Everything but the kitchen sink". It has potato chips and pretzels crushed up with lots of chocolate, frosting and something like 6 sticks of butter.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVe5Zs8dlJWG9G-jDv5BaFCN7ZEalVppv_VS0bm2YqqOvFpTCtEPoDZSs6ifXdyLP5adNoBWPqfXm7tgt-vyQhFmIPVownSoTkFu5KgQkboQX18vijNOlOYL5uPz3aCNvraTSexu6jwoJ19lSBEJwHlbjf0iGLAEej2plnm-uPhR6FK7U-xerOSw/s4032/PXL_20230422_231908720.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVe5Zs8dlJWG9G-jDv5BaFCN7ZEalVppv_VS0bm2YqqOvFpTCtEPoDZSs6ifXdyLP5adNoBWPqfXm7tgt-vyQhFmIPVownSoTkFu5KgQkboQX18vijNOlOYL5uPz3aCNvraTSexu6jwoJ19lSBEJwHlbjf0iGLAEej2plnm-uPhR6FK7U-xerOSw/w400-h300/PXL_20230422_231908720.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bonding over Super Smash Bros</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYqHxjG2Lt71Q2rO6djI_HrChf8mOtyanOPZTQoPjpdtvUqFliuanV4F2w4tIfoT_z6DMijvNOlc8chDptPmpKu35VNChaTLlRud34yRWpbl89GohoWDYHJOk_yQKZdcriyREpZKDVXMln6POjbPDWjMdldh3ra8fwuGusKoeMa-GICSNO8RDVsg/s4032/PXL_20230422_014744022.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYqHxjG2Lt71Q2rO6djI_HrChf8mOtyanOPZTQoPjpdtvUqFliuanV4F2w4tIfoT_z6DMijvNOlc8chDptPmpKu35VNChaTLlRud34yRWpbl89GohoWDYHJOk_yQKZdcriyREpZKDVXMln6POjbPDWjMdldh3ra8fwuGusKoeMa-GICSNO8RDVsg/s320/PXL_20230422_014744022.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mom and Hinckley making cake</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0a2KrAHe6IzsOaEnuksc4LZVcKMvaTtPV-omZfU2tvGnLc92edhXvIHpT7Y2oghY9gEEeKFhg43HdW5Huuu5xVmEzIRSosKRg_yfkiNl-fO8SZeIfnODFBY5Z-9jEm2EuyuKPLNTbXfL7U1qtCPv4XCx-foF52CgTo3g-CfhRY3CBe4EUA6f65A/s4032/PXL_20230422_235008257.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0a2KrAHe6IzsOaEnuksc4LZVcKMvaTtPV-omZfU2tvGnLc92edhXvIHpT7Y2oghY9gEEeKFhg43HdW5Huuu5xVmEzIRSosKRg_yfkiNl-fO8SZeIfnODFBY5Z-9jEm2EuyuKPLNTbXfL7U1qtCPv4XCx-foF52CgTo3g-CfhRY3CBe4EUA6f65A/s320/PXL_20230422_235008257.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stuffy birthday party with cake</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </div>Another indulgence for me this week is a pair of outdoor soccer cleats. I found a group that plays near our home twice a week mid day which is when I exercise anyway! So I played twice outside this week, which is the most outdoor soccer I've played since I was about 16 years old! It is so much fun, and extremely tiring.<br /><br />On Saturday I took the kids down to Provo for Addie’s ice skating class and afterwards we went to BYU campus. The art activity I thought was happening at the MOA actually wasn’t…but the kids were content to do the sculpture garden scavenger hunt and look at the modern art exhibit again. They had a ball so that was good. We also explored the new Music Building which was memorable as we found our way onto the stage of one of the smaller recital halls and then later got stuck in the dark for a second. It brought tears and screaming but we found our way out! We also spent a few minutes looking at the HFAC destruction and it was interesting to think about all the memories from the bosom of that old building such as my film lectures/tests and many practicing sessions by the musicians of our family. </div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNvlYXX9rjhEJG-rrlEtN3gFNnLy9ssksFhMTI6gcaHmQE79VfC7Bw-t3E8JLszlboCUhzDpQLmfdKSac1OmaKO3PGtS_62vF-czGWF8GK4Mc1II55NxsYoJw9P1DIHTfhF72a2D7GjDJ7Pak7jR0V_Wf-vLZkXgbucsICU4QThHq8qiE2pI0u6g/s4032/PXL_20230422_173726986.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNvlYXX9rjhEJG-rrlEtN3gFNnLy9ssksFhMTI6gcaHmQE79VfC7Bw-t3E8JLszlboCUhzDpQLmfdKSac1OmaKO3PGtS_62vF-czGWF8GK4Mc1II55NxsYoJw9P1DIHTfhF72a2D7GjDJ7Pak7jR0V_Wf-vLZkXgbucsICU4QThHq8qiE2pI0u6g/s320/PXL_20230422_173726986.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">MOA scavenger hunt</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Ub_YohjJ8JwOgc3_scLAB6Ea7SALvS6Y9BZyDYLCjscQQKcD9G8lsipQTU2J_CV18CPjsUdRFwjUish33KsAluIf4bE6l5nAjCHjCPgjwNpcSjR8ZM1Vt21GeklhljV31ik8_JQIgNKgg7G6Z5SDxri7i3FD5abesNGzHrcZdpINW4JNQIha7w/s4032/PXL_20230422_171504666.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Ub_YohjJ8JwOgc3_scLAB6Ea7SALvS6Y9BZyDYLCjscQQKcD9G8lsipQTU2J_CV18CPjsUdRFwjUish33KsAluIf4bE6l5nAjCHjCPgjwNpcSjR8ZM1Vt21GeklhljV31ik8_JQIgNKgg7G6Z5SDxri7i3FD5abesNGzHrcZdpINW4JNQIha7w/s320/PXL_20230422_171504666.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">HFAC remains</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div> <div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>April 16</b></span></div>This week we had our "mocktail" party in which we invited about 12 people over for some drinks, snacks, and simple icebreaker activities.

The kids watched <i>Big Hero 6</i> up in my office and did a really good job staying quiet. Addie read Greyson some books and Hinckley took a group picture for the whole group.

They were unable to get me hooked up properly and after lots of pain my body went totally rigid and I couldn't move for about 30 minutes. I stayed conscious and eventually after drinking lots of juice and tons of deep raspy breathing all feeling was restored and I was able to get up and leave.

Greyson got a scooter so he can catch up with his friend who is always flying around the park nearby, and we finally got Hinckley a new bike that fits his growing stature. I got a walking treadmill for my desk and am hoping that helps me live a less sedentary life and so far I'm enjoying it a lot! Addie started her ice skating level 2 lessons this Saturday and despite her dreading/fearing, it was happy afterward. She has been working on her animal report diorama for the Artic Fox this week which she is really excited about. I started the "Learning Challenge" with Hinckley which is basically me assigning him homework. He is hoping to earn an engineering online course if he can complete the learning challenge by the end of the school year. He continues to be obsessed with black holes and the movie Interstellar.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

He has made a number of Nike wristbands out of paper and marker, and also made a tape ball that he colored blue and wrote “Nike” on. It is pretty cute. His arm seems to be doing well, and it is hard to hold him back from things he is dying to do (jump on tramp with multiple people etc.) The doctors just don't want him to risk hurting it again so soon after the break. He loved having his siblings around more this week with no school. Hinckley’s little motors arrived in the mail this week and he was excited to experiment with those. His main wish in life now is to meet Mark Rober (YouTube engineer sensation and BYU alumni) and ask him all his questions. He built a fort for all the kids to sleep in this week which was memorable for them, including Addie who got the 10lb weight on her toe the next morning during a fight with Greyson. Addie continues to enjoy the Little House books and was eager to wear a dress with flower print and have french braids so she could look like Laura and Carrie. She continues to express every thought and idea to use in many words and had a lot to say during Spring Break and Easter.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Greyson got his cast off Thursday morning and his arm has been pretty stiff. The doctors are actually worried that it is not totally healed yet so he isn't allowed to do Ninja class or jump on the tramp with other people at the same time. He will check back in with them in 2 weeks to see how things are going. We had the Saturday sessions of the conference yesterday and I was reminded that the kids really are getting older. Hinckley and Addie sat through pretty much all sessions and either took notes or just watched. It really surprised me. Even Greyson stayed on the couch (or in his fort) for most of the time and only got extra squirrely a handful of times. Greyson loved his Reese’s (treats were provided) so much that he taped the wrapper over his nose so he could enjoy the smell for the long term. Then he mashed up some leftover fruit and poured lemon juice into a jug of water (an old vinegar container) to make his “soda”. “Only me and my friends can drink my soda without asking, but everyone else has to ask to drink my soda.” <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxNqGB0MuwV5hR1lTvqqEJi-cJ-WuPA2hJuqp25rtPyri3rGPonLT-kR1EQ6nl4FbiWjXuG5yK-m5zc_FEuJK5eLIHSSEZ6WKa9YMbt0i-i4__pt6vXRBUmygZV25pYIJArCEGhAVLDnB6X39rpsI-sbs8nRuOmLzoGQhr4532BQfa0gEhR_eGQ/s4032/PXL_20230401_171447424.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxNqGB0MuwV5hR1lTvqqEJi-cJ-WuPA2hJuqp25rtPyri3rGPonLT-kR1EQ6nl4FbiWjXuG5yK-m5zc_FEuJK5eLIHSSEZ6WKa9YMbt0i-i4__pt6vXRBUmygZV25pYIJArCEGhAVLDnB6X39rpsI-sbs8nRuOmLzoGQhr4532BQfa0gEhR_eGQ/s320/PXL_20230401_171447424.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson's Reese's smeller invention</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Earlier this week I did the final challenge of the 12 week Strenuous Life challenge.

Some women in the ward are starting one that she attended, and I had my 2nd one with our former bishop which was enjoyable. It's taken some time but it feels like we are starting to get to know people in this neighborhood at a better level at last. <br /><br /> Addie had her last ice skating class for level 1 and was excited about all the things she was able to pass off. She thinks she’d like to do level 2. She is nearly done with the "Little House" books and really enjoys those every night. She often will gather a set of words she didn't recognize and ask us about them before getting into bed. At school she was selected with just a couple other kids from all second graders to tell a story at the arts fair. She practiced telling her story many times here at home and was really excited to be selected.

It's pretty amazing. We had a fun day on Saturday down at BYU campus with the Kays and Nana/Grandpa. The kids had way more fun than I anticipated playing with the various objects available in the Eyring Science Center and we spent a lot of time there. We went into the JFSB to see Mitch Warner's paintings in the "Education in Zion" exhibit .... and apparently set off some kind of security alarm. That was memorable! haha. After a lunch at the Cougar eat the kids and I discovered a really neat "church and games" exhibit in the special collections of the library.

He has all sorts of questions he is constantly thinking about such as how many permutations are there of a set of 4? And “why do bubbles rise?” and “how does a set of two pendulums go forever without losing energy?” While it is frustrating I have no answers, it is also exciting to see him asking and yearning and I just hope he can get enough answers to keep him going. We went over to a neighbor's house on Saturday who used to be an electrician so Hinckley could ask him all his questions. That was pretty great. <br /><br />Greyson continues to “Craft” every spare moment. Pulling things from our recycling box to tape together, dump glue on, and cut. It is both infuriating and very cute. The other day he taped a chip bag to his nose as a part of his craft, and wore it like that throughout his TV time even. He and Kassie went to Fat Cats to do the arcade games for a date and he scored a jackpot which enabled him to get a Minecraft sword and other trinkets.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7EbC5xuDCCRRxAdBDhDuADP4G6_CmfsCZYEhrk56XNZrTHFxamidQTWnVtmXAh0eTYbVp2dVcux_MrzJCYWDrqBVYwN5CsHf2F7bjKHUOsQUECzJeEcnZUffF3WvA9IxxZF2Ls96BUEw6QrCMhsdwCjaET796d5kh2qWizi3x6qXBYUaismyhuw/s4032/PXL_20230317_002942935.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7EbC5xuDCCRRxAdBDhDuADP4G6_CmfsCZYEhrk56XNZrTHFxamidQTWnVtmXAh0eTYbVp2dVcux_MrzJCYWDrqBVYwN5CsHf2F7bjKHUOsQUECzJeEcnZUffF3WvA9IxxZF2Ls96BUEw6QrCMhsdwCjaET796d5kh2qWizi3x6qXBYUaismyhuw/s320/PXL_20230317_002942935.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hair dryer blowing off cast after bath</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi257qUyDfNgY0bUHxLTvWh4FPOgOez1NZRkGMvUqBBHF3tv8QVp3GoYxuKpNdrmhhLgBbFrQB5ynC_L3BzIY6-VmA_KuN8VOqHgqVr3hFzc2Oxfs5GhzrL1TkCMmWcF7wHnm-g1cCOProir2vD1zYZ5QgTscT3kILzyIwefrIzETjuk4LBRbZ4Zw/s4032/PXL_20230316_134247585.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi257qUyDfNgY0bUHxLTvWh4FPOgOez1NZRkGMvUqBBHF3tv8QVp3GoYxuKpNdrmhhLgBbFrQB5ynC_L3BzIY6-VmA_KuN8VOqHgqVr3hFzc2Oxfs5GhzrL1TkCMmWcF7wHnm-g1cCOProir2vD1zYZ5QgTscT3kILzyIwefrIzETjuk4LBRbZ4Zw/s320/PXL_20230316_134247585.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Using half a roll of TP for a runny nose</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </div>Addie had a lot of play time with her friend Brook and with slightly warmer weather this week they have been out on the trampoline much more which is exciting. I pruned some more of our trees on Saturday while the kids ran around outside and it was nice to feel some sunshine again. I also had a TSL (The Strenuous Life) activity Saturday morning where we learned about welding which was fun. Addie and Hinckley went with me to the big "Elijah Quest" challenge kickoff which is a multi-ward family history, temple, and missionary work challenge that I get to be a part of as the ward mission leader. We ate sweets and got pumped up about doing that work. They were good sports. <p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>March 12, 2023</b></p>This week Hinckley had his first Ninja competition and was pretty nervous about it. He did really well! And I think he felt great about the experience despite all his worries beforehand. He had lots of people cheering for him including Nana and Grandpa as he finished up the last rope climb. It was really neat seeing him push through the difficulty to finish strong.Overall it was a positive experience. He and Greyson and I enjoyed going to McDonald's with Nana and Grandpa afterward. Greyson had a hard time sitting still while we watched and even with his broken arm in a cast he managed to find some pads and a small spring he could go do front flips off. He has figured out how to use his cast as a club, on humans and on our house. We are all finding ways to cope with his high energy. He also continues to enjoy doing "experiments" which involve things like filling up old snack/chip bags with glue and then taping closed the top. He moves nearly nonstop until he zonks out at bedtime. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd57mbMlvbXx_GA-CvvznwTmwLzlf24d1e4ABqFQH4J60jGxGqIyBn2f8mZsoZWqi83AsNePrQq18S5x8Q9DUcMTyPAYL4y_Xj1s2fihUOJcqESXYIztfvLNfz8d_TbNYIyNwqTBZ-rnfEFSdr1UaIPLn63lUa1O0cGbmbRXGjOc9L1zPlK5VB6A/s4032/PXL_20230311_204818416.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd57mbMlvbXx_GA-CvvznwTmwLzlf24d1e4ABqFQH4J60jGxGqIyBn2f8mZsoZWqi83AsNePrQq18S5x8Q9DUcMTyPAYL4y_Xj1s2fihUOJcqESXYIztfvLNfz8d_TbNYIyNwqTBZ-rnfEFSdr1UaIPLn63lUa1O0cGbmbRXGjOc9L1zPlK5VB6A/s320/PXL_20230311_204818416.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley and the Ninjas</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQCkK9ot_sOUy_7RvjbbuKfEsRfw2K6PUPahCGFlE0yfyD9k7646SDZ0fHETVqAvycua-awvp1OE9sS0_G1FIWy1d4GOc0xxuWDyT1IkY9LNr71XnWSQ-RodJLWqYYsDDPAkNFcuj7h0xHJzYQYEPUwPfemAY0TaGeFbRb_CPmtanA3AO63m8-VQ/s4032/PXL_20230311_210034256.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQCkK9ot_sOUy_7RvjbbuKfEsRfw2K6PUPahCGFlE0yfyD9k7646SDZ0fHETVqAvycua-awvp1OE9sS0_G1FIWy1d4GOc0xxuWDyT1IkY9LNr71XnWSQ-RodJLWqYYsDDPAkNFcuj7h0xHJzYQYEPUwPfemAY0TaGeFbRb_CPmtanA3AO63m8-VQ/s320/PXL_20230311_210034256.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Micky Ds with Nana and Grandpa</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHYUT55PFs3C6KmwYdOHEzERigTWI68puDhvaMNod12Xo1uTd0ZN-084ES4E-oCGBWDedMb3qmJDzjD-pyCpqP2SRXSt-sjL3n_seL96FDLJgIa5r1_gGrb8-dNLkftaB6U3wexcZ0vIgOvrmkGr24wd7RdgglPqI4ISwfWxAE-9rW9JMTArIg4Q/s4032/PXL_20230311_201140332.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHYUT55PFs3C6KmwYdOHEzERigTWI68puDhvaMNod12Xo1uTd0ZN-084ES4E-oCGBWDedMb3qmJDzjD-pyCpqP2SRXSt-sjL3n_seL96FDLJgIa5r1_gGrb8-dNLkftaB6U3wexcZ0vIgOvrmkGr24wd7RdgglPqI4ISwfWxAE-9rW9JMTArIg4Q/s320/PXL_20230311_201140332.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready to compete</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Addie had a fun date with Kassie going to Pizza Pie Cafe where she was overwhelmed with joy at all the pizza choices.

The break doesn't seem to be very bad, actually still not noticeable in the x-rays. But given he couldn't move his arm a certain way and the swelling they determined to give him the cast for a month. Hinckley and Addie were excited to write their names on the cast and Hinckley even many days later is now hoping to break his arm. Fortunately he hasn't been making any serious attempts that we can tell. The kids are really into the YouTube channel <i>Dude Perfect</i> these days. It was funny for all of us for the first week or two, and now we are looking forward to a new media obsession if possible. Hinckley has ben really interested in the YouTube videos by Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer who makes some pretty incredible engineering contraptions. Hinckley saw an ad for an engineering online course from Mark Rober that he is really interested in and today (Sunday) he's been busy going through the steps of the design process in making a pen that won't get lost. Beyond chemistry and engineering Hinckley is really taken with the science of the body and he really enjoyed looking in a body book he got from the book fair. I'm glad he has all these interests despite my being utterly unable to help other than pointing him to YouTube or Kassie. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyi2XMRIHZL28SqTGvWl2zFVr1frAqcLeDeqHSswBCHrEahNobo2sz02WSNbHCe7-asZc1s78s0hOo8bjo3I5eHKEkl7aZYl7LuXLLxYrV-MtNXNh64ZPFbVom-uVv4yOeyRQGCwqtydjjCdmE5nxVT0HJfaNujGtjbGkfUBcb2BhwnAbpY7tV6g/s4032/PXL_20230227_230641181.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyi2XMRIHZL28SqTGvWl2zFVr1frAqcLeDeqHSswBCHrEahNobo2sz02WSNbHCe7-asZc1s78s0hOo8bjo3I5eHKEkl7aZYl7LuXLLxYrV-MtNXNh64ZPFbVom-uVv4yOeyRQGCwqtydjjCdmE5nxVT0HJfaNujGtjbGkfUBcb2BhwnAbpY7tV6g/s320/PXL_20230227_230641181.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The new red cast</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgouAjTBLbpbA-8VsQVxhjqBjrR41n-7khoMhNkRM4WbL2di1GnLlnMxz2eup0J5AHJTYHuWoTzUtm2WVxbJFMC0ZF2Xbrlp8DrMm8JCNIOrXkMicnSmedGOlq71FV_eH8HiCPTFjjJp3mWsCRhKKwvR9szQ1CRPq3VDOX9eObD0mF_x2y9HmSZpA/s4032/PXL_20230228_013227859.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgouAjTBLbpbA-8VsQVxhjqBjrR41n-7khoMhNkRM4WbL2di1GnLlnMxz2eup0J5AHJTYHuWoTzUtm2WVxbJFMC0ZF2Xbrlp8DrMm8JCNIOrXkMicnSmedGOlq71FV_eH8HiCPTFjjJp3mWsCRhKKwvR9szQ1CRPq3VDOX9eObD0mF_x2y9HmSZpA/s320/PXL_20230228_013227859.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Signing Greyson's cast</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Addie had a fun ice skating lesson in Provo and afterwards we met with Nana and Grandpa at the Creamery for lunch.

He continues to explore boundaries by throwing incredible fits and expanding his vocabulary to words that can get the biggest reaction from the rest of us. Let's just say our house would likely be PG-13 pushing R if the MPAA just had a soundtrack to the things he says. It is a time of growth for everyone. He can also be incredibly sweet. He wanted to spend some time "Breakdancing" outside in the yard, citing lessons he has had in preschool. He is still willing to sit on Kassie's lap for storytime, though he won't sit on me since he "hates me" and I'm "too hard, and not soft like Mama". He and I went for a bike ride with him in the bike trailer on Saturday. We went out and discovered the Saratoga Springs natural hot springs which is actually pretty near our home! We decided it would be fun to come back sometime and get in them. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRVuaQ-EP4Lo3wDIgP859FQRXZRNshDQIpBj5KBnCgZuJGToWuPsOxK2FZplEPr2rbzCSunCHh-qJBEjptWAHriC1BA4mAxlOjI_fSdueYKUqbEC0ckRV6bOlStWUeWF4vvQHKxkmm5FGqfPIT7pKQM-Z-PVTTKB_zFpZjDnbUym_D811LhVAsGw/s3264/PXL_20230304_211738956.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRVuaQ-EP4Lo3wDIgP859FQRXZRNshDQIpBj5KBnCgZuJGToWuPsOxK2FZplEPr2rbzCSunCHh-qJBEjptWAHriC1BA4mAxlOjI_fSdueYKUqbEC0ckRV6bOlStWUeWF4vvQHKxkmm5FGqfPIT7pKQM-Z-PVTTKB_zFpZjDnbUym_D811LhVAsGw/s320/PXL_20230304_211738956.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Biking with Dad and Greyson</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9qmjl8HT2RLYLQXDXZeG06D2msyJmjyq08w2i9uxSue07dauWXA-eVZSq276DdbqDciOA1RujC6Og_WOCUjHZj4OBXsPjQx5Rx0qAvNUUiw18O1liYmJnjp17wdb07QXzG_lz6NbEOQ_E1qtYPokSWxsl4rKQWyoN076yoNnbvch8vGFFYpUTFg/s4032/PXL_20230304_211500769.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9qmjl8HT2RLYLQXDXZeG06D2msyJmjyq08w2i9uxSue07dauWXA-eVZSq276DdbqDciOA1RujC6Og_WOCUjHZj4OBXsPjQx5Rx0qAvNUUiw18O1liYmJnjp17wdb07QXzG_lz6NbEOQ_E1qtYPokSWxsl4rKQWyoN076yoNnbvch8vGFFYpUTFg/s320/PXL_20230304_211500769.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Saratoga Springs hot springs</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR62UsPz1rl3bfuRus22EZ4SNd-0D9uAu56vXeb62AKx3rb98tCOZJ-_kBlrfvmJAqW0_TBK9cENOmkxjUbHrXWuJJ3Vx_iHPCM-ocK6pZ_IXNpSS28GbXMCV-fUxxzZW63l9UrUqHundvwFK69hKtlJ1ue38QwjteGExIvDUbtrufkUk0mI4lvA/s4032/PXL_20230304_014008865.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR62UsPz1rl3bfuRus22EZ4SNd-0D9uAu56vXeb62AKx3rb98tCOZJ-_kBlrfvmJAqW0_TBK9cENOmkxjUbHrXWuJJ3Vx_iHPCM-ocK6pZ_IXNpSS28GbXMCV-fUxxzZW63l9UrUqHundvwFK69hKtlJ1ue38QwjteGExIvDUbtrufkUk0mI4lvA/s320/PXL_20230304_014008865.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley's growing mullet pony tale</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXN5PF3hMQgSMUBfk9zWY6chUsnghRbtbzDW-nKtyMP-feaFOeXo6__vt5VadZLbVH_o47JiqGEth5r49g0l_XBJvABRxpN7Nn8q1YGgIvH8GFCYDMzlSeX40baipw3rL9knU42m_HKyvx_zazHL39DY-xXLKGmqsIc4eXrVtSMlohF1GioSY_Q/s4032/PXL_20230301_152958611.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXN5PF3hMQgSMUBfk9zWY6chUsnghRbtbzDW-nKtyMP-feaFOeXo6__vt5VadZLbVH_o47JiqGEth5r49g0l_XBJvABRxpN7Nn8q1YGgIvH8GFCYDMzlSeX40baipw3rL9knU42m_HKyvx_zazHL39DY-xXLKGmqsIc4eXrVtSMlohF1GioSY_Q/s320/PXL_20230301_152958611.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Office companion</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788639825518734443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692445828267763976.post-51753770956187946152023-02-26T12:39:00.000-08:002023-02-26T12:39:18.050-08:00February 2023<div><b>February 26, 2023</b></div>Monday being a holiday started out with me painting our new door and door frame in our master bedroom that goes to the bathroom while Kassie and the kids went to the Children's museum up in SLC. I finished listening to Dracula while doing the work and successfully installed a new door knob on Addie's door (with a lock) that she bought with her own money. She is pretty excited about locking her brothers out. Kassie and I were both sick with colds and remarkably none of the kids really seemed to get it. I've been seeing a chiropractor since I often get "tweaks in my neck" and that has been pretty good this week. I am hoping to implement some exercises so my body isn't totally ruined by 8 hours of computer sitting each day for years on end.<div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8SH3JwRzfkbcVUSwPCt13vmGfcL3xP8JJGZJcJgY1F2PbWRvpmRnd7Y6OweHiQDQc3BtEX1qrwPvE-_B7grzXoMJBKGVUnmZ3UnrZbafNNaVv7pGQ1lrrB8Bp2Ym1rxabzJs26BE3B5q61RGtERLs_Tk4FbMVyZDN7Q9_Zy6jhYUUHQZ502K9g/s4032/PXL_20230220_172858639.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW8SH3JwRzfkbcVUSwPCt13vmGfcL3xP8JJGZJcJgY1F2PbWRvpmRnd7Y6OweHiQDQc3BtEX1qrwPvE-_B7grzXoMJBKGVUnmZ3UnrZbafNNaVv7pGQ1lrrB8Bp2Ym1rxabzJs26BE3B5q61RGtERLs_Tk4FbMVyZDN7Q9_Zy6jhYUUHQZ502K9g/s320/PXL_20230220_172858639.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">SLC Children's Museum</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>We had a ton of snow this week and that included a "school from home" day (aka "snow day") for the kids which they loved.

The kids also had fun making little "sledding hill" mounds in our backyard and sliding down those on their sleds. It is wonderful to get so much snow, despite it being quite a lot of work to shovel. We are grateful. Kassie and I were able to go to the temple on Saturday at last after being thwarted the last few times we've tried to go.

What happened is that leadership has been working on this for a few months now, but someone leaked the news to the press despite the re-structure not being complete. That means we all know changes are coming, but nobody yet knows exactly what is going to happen. It was pretty troubling initially to hear that. That said, I feel beyond fortunate to even have had this job. If I were asked to leave I am ready to start the search again. Things will be ok, though I know they could get really tough. We’ve been through worse and it is times like this I am even more grateful for those hard times as they give us needed perspective now that we wouldn’t have had. There is a lot of value in adversity that is unimaginable in the moments of difficulty and yet almost redemptive many years after the event.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUCZMGQf5XsgdlBpgw9b1x8PgfN2lNCFa0fgpDJv8NEDn8RsDZ0UtdYF2acHJ2prik-9LMT-ZWm2TcgEw7-fX11KURHySgJH-I_FzcnHahZ_pJ--nZIUGYmoQB65aEAOVKSzYGqFVAXtOiDNA-ilL8FimDXJAF8obljH5i5xx0q6Ot2VVtsfPdnw/s4032/PXL_20230223_003504747.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUCZMGQf5XsgdlBpgw9b1x8PgfN2lNCFa0fgpDJv8NEDn8RsDZ0UtdYF2acHJ2prik-9LMT-ZWm2TcgEw7-fX11KURHySgJH-I_FzcnHahZ_pJ--nZIUGYmoQB65aEAOVKSzYGqFVAXtOiDNA-ilL8FimDXJAF8obljH5i5xx0q6Ot2VVtsfPdnw/s320/PXL_20230223_003504747.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The "sledding hill" in the front</td></tr></tbody></table><div></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDLhKf-Qq6Kr25O8md4ZJgpgDujgrCN9SvZsv4HAx4nGRwbpMiqSGXFK29_xKChRvcZimsE7ciE0VOHQcxBgaoYp6pPJ3tkGCLxISOgl-Gd1vNb_wa0x5b-B7TcMiTErioQnBWkhFPiUlzr4CMfSNWBbytFMt5duQKQdxVEPyKmFLTXC8ZJiGk2Q/s4032/PXL_20230224_010439056.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDLhKf-Qq6Kr25O8md4ZJgpgDujgrCN9SvZsv4HAx4nGRwbpMiqSGXFK29_xKChRvcZimsE7ciE0VOHQcxBgaoYp6pPJ3tkGCLxISOgl-Gd1vNb_wa0x5b-B7TcMiTErioQnBWkhFPiUlzr4CMfSNWBbytFMt5duQKQdxVEPyKmFLTXC8ZJiGk2Q/w400-h300/PXL_20230224_010439056.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The "sledding hill" in the back</td></tr></tbody></table><div></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_NdRXs3cpqCXTxeu62LOpuUnNgMI9-mH-4q_Ko9oavLGlawm0PuVEyFk3voF-LJyER3p_pDn8agXTwYtGtog8UnOI_QoR9UtUUq_mVREFZvJLFAgLZGVkvvxQTR99Uq0TPh7dN2yIw6WCo4-zGYLGoPj1ZnhuHbEKZ1sVzPYPKZpLFRbkJ8Y1XQ/s4032/PXL_20230225_172730636.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_NdRXs3cpqCXTxeu62LOpuUnNgMI9-mH-4q_Ko9oavLGlawm0PuVEyFk3voF-LJyER3p_pDn8agXTwYtGtog8UnOI_QoR9UtUUq_mVREFZvJLFAgLZGVkvvxQTR99Uq0TPh7dN2yIw6WCo4-zGYLGoPj1ZnhuHbEKZ1sVzPYPKZpLFRbkJ8Y1XQ/w400-h300/PXL_20230225_172730636.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie's first ice skating lesson (she is in the pink at the back)</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /><br />Some other news this week - Greyson may have broken his arm. When at his Ninja Class at the Lehi Rec Center he said he fell off a ladder which Kassie estimated to be about 6 feet tall. He was pretty upset that the pads didn't "work" like he thought they would when he landed and that he was so hurt. He is also sad that he can't really play in the snow. On Monday we'll get the bone doctor to check it out and get a final verdict on how serious it is as the 4 doctors who saw the x-ray on Saturday weren't super confident about whether it was broken or not. Addie had "books and buddies" at school this week and Kassie went in and read with her which they both enjoyed. Addie has been really enjoying the "Little House on the Prairie" books and is always chattering about what Laura, Mary, and the others are up to. I think Hinckley secretly is interested but when pressed he looked disgusted, "Nobody important even dies in there." Which may or may not be true! He is rereading Harry Potter and is on Book 6 already. We watched The Phantom of the Opera with Hinckley on Friday night and he seemed to stick with it most of the time. Addie wanted to listen to the music the next day while cleaning her room, we let her stay up for the first 30 min or so of the movie which she loved...but then she said she was afraid the Phantom was waiting outside the bathroom to get her.

I like Almond Milk, Tofu, and other plant-based foods that have become staples in our home over the last 10 years, but I want to get away from any sense of "good or bad" foods and rather have a peaceful relationship with the food I eat. We'll see how that goes. <div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>February 19, 2023</b></div>We had a happy Valentines day this week followed closely by Kassie's birthday. There was a lot of sweets and delicious food involved throughout the week an it culminated with the kids having a blast with Nana and Grandpa and the Kay kids on Saturday in Provo. Addie threw up in the night earlier this week and she missed some more school including her Valentines day party which was the second year in a row, poor girl. Later in the week we all went ice skating which was a growing experience for all of us. Addie likes it so much we decided to sign her up for some lessons that start soon. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-y8NPf2MPmkPnF_8AsafvvhZxmpJLNZ8-MIlz7Y8gOkUoBBkMW-mMMq1e2kndTFMFZS0uNh_PnfeLjHVtSflLh1XFGAC5zKdcZH_yAnl1X06AYiR5PfnhNJaFUakLt8X47Rfag-Vxl-Uqus78H_m6L_f_h7h0qHYKWYegO1tt02vjc8t3-t_rOg/s4032/PXL_20230217_185154782.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-y8NPf2MPmkPnF_8AsafvvhZxmpJLNZ8-MIlz7Y8gOkUoBBkMW-mMMq1e2kndTFMFZS0uNh_PnfeLjHVtSflLh1XFGAC5zKdcZH_yAnl1X06AYiR5PfnhNJaFUakLt8X47Rfag-Vxl-Uqus78H_m6L_f_h7h0qHYKWYegO1tt02vjc8t3-t_rOg/s320/PXL_20230217_185154782.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready for the ice</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimt8seDyA5RuXivO1nr9_53wJ_VEcLKjRRTXJEhPEJc2ldbq1zfHmIEQkQ6AiBTQ1BgPrnjubze--O-dToccVi1LlokiNxYa3bUPou2jVAuZfEuQTgSLt4m2ynRf-tFy8tU-3l16ifg42BZJfi88Z9qlqST4OEkxDhRpnnrrxX_t2zT6kdcsH9tQ/s4032/PXL_20230217_195334557.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimt8seDyA5RuXivO1nr9_53wJ_VEcLKjRRTXJEhPEJc2ldbq1zfHmIEQkQ6AiBTQ1BgPrnjubze--O-dToccVi1LlokiNxYa3bUPou2jVAuZfEuQTgSLt4m2ynRf-tFy8tU-3l16ifg42BZJfi88Z9qlqST4OEkxDhRpnnrrxX_t2zT6kdcsH9tQ/s320/PXL_20230217_195334557.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Post skating pic</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix5bHn4a8Npr5hlZGWTvCl2B4UnLh2qQg7-_zgmGrECQYnMO_fbvTZF1qEzdoRQ_U8xz9OmmkTzCGMMv2oBVokJSQiU93rg5n6vv5UJP4Bgtez7D5qKT2gf_AEH_BBeszBG5z3nKhkXVxGSwnJin_QsfExXgSgH_PBaUIC3NfJt9uukdLF2BQHOg/s4032/PXL_20230217_004943065.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix5bHn4a8Npr5hlZGWTvCl2B4UnLh2qQg7-_zgmGrECQYnMO_fbvTZF1qEzdoRQ_U8xz9OmmkTzCGMMv2oBVokJSQiU93rg5n6vv5UJP4Bgtez7D5qKT2gf_AEH_BBeszBG5z3nKhkXVxGSwnJin_QsfExXgSgH_PBaUIC3NfJt9uukdLF2BQHOg/s320/PXL_20230217_004943065.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">35 years! </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Greyson got really used to having infinite candy available at all times of the day.

It reminded me a bit of being pummeled by Trent or Mike Ellis in the olden times. We went up to a cabin East of Heber and did a variety of fun challenges in the very deep snow.

He won the “hanging challenge” which was really excited about (all the kids hang from various bars until there is a last kid hanging). As we drove home he made a few comments about how one area he struggles with is the psychology of the sport which I thought was very perceptive. He seems to be cluing in that he has lots of capability but often falls short of it because of his attitude or fears. I've finished reading <i>Good Inside </i>which Lucy gave me for Christmas and am now listening to it as a review. I think it is the best parenting book I've read and it has really helped me view myself and my kids in a more Christlike light. One quote in there I love is "Anxiety is the inability to tolerate discomfort. It's the experience of not wanting to be in your body , the idea that you should be feeling differently in that specific moment." I've been working with Hinckley and the other kids (and myself) in learning to be more reliant in leaning into tolerating discomfort more regularly. <br /><br />Greyson and Addie had a pretty good week as well doing their various activities. Greyson continues to tie ropes around the house and Addie is excited to have finished another <i>Little House on the Prairie</i> book. She's really been enjoying those. Greyson enjoyed a few gatherings Kassie attended with women in the area including a "galantines brunch" which sounded like a fun time. The kids are counting down the days to valentines! <br /><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>February 5, 2023</b><br /><br />We began the week finishing off some sickness and by mid week everyone was back in school. Addie had some hard moments returning after being out with sickness a lot. She gets pretty anxious. Hopefully we have that as figured out as needed for now as it can be exasperating sometimes. She and I had a fun date on Saturday going to eat pizza and then watching "The Bad Guys" in her room. It is her favorite movie and since I'd never seen it she was eager to watch for "my 8th time!" She fell asleep a few times. I think a dark room with a tummy full of pizza and arm in arm with my daughter is one of the best moments of the year so far. <div><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidtFvJKtRllOfqN1s302ogqQQfF2hTK-t7bABW5gxWpIfmkQOiVyN1EbGXN8zYRHXB5WAa7ioV7U-hsxKXe9OwN9lWlY0B5lUXaAHC0OiQNStmx_sF38Qxz8VZp1_WA8529_frtN2iA85C7fgoq30WbHR50mrJOkvloMUK_uT-2Zs9KlAQ06OBSQ/s4032/PXL_20230204_192225321.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidtFvJKtRllOfqN1s302ogqQQfF2hTK-t7bABW5gxWpIfmkQOiVyN1EbGXN8zYRHXB5WAa7ioV7U-hsxKXe9OwN9lWlY0B5lUXaAHC0OiQNStmx_sF38Qxz8VZp1_WA8529_frtN2iA85C7fgoq30WbHR50mrJOkvloMUK_uT-2Zs9KlAQ06OBSQ/s320/PXL_20230204_192225321.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pizza girl</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>For the first time in three years I took the kids to the Saturday Home Depot craft day and they loved it. They were all much better with the hammer and paints then they were last time! It makes a difference. I can't believe how quickly time has gone by as my last memories doing these outings was basically creating the entire craft for Hinckley and Addie and then watching them paint their hands and everything else in the process. Pretty wild. Hinckley and Kassie went to see the Peking Chinese Acrobats at UVU and had lots of things to tell us about. It sounded like an incredible performance with spinning plates, tight-rope walking/rolling, roller skating in circles with people holding on to other people's head just with their feet, and more. <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95AHMJKIc1Urjg_V9F2bNVuEkscIwgHhZDuTtvCD9lVFCZnvlfs1a9ulH8WqrsLpmbMVWkCpW40WsAFWDPl0xzH4_mWIzABCQJ-LYcwcY3IVxdJPcEaBw7BNLXdR_Rw_a4zWLEArmNFQuODhCw3iwWeL370R8WY16E0nszF0cj1l2ewlERB4G0A/s4032/PXL_20230204_170357464.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj95AHMJKIc1Urjg_V9F2bNVuEkscIwgHhZDuTtvCD9lVFCZnvlfs1a9ulH8WqrsLpmbMVWkCpW40WsAFWDPl0xzH4_mWIzABCQJ-LYcwcY3IVxdJPcEaBw7BNLXdR_Rw_a4zWLEArmNFQuODhCw3iwWeL370R8WY16E0nszF0cj1l2ewlERB4G0A/s320/PXL_20230204_170357464.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Home Depot February Crafting</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVre_kjc6m6zntAWe5axN2TsiuMbGOMt9t9XBrAggtC_iOK5wE9hesZMxMPu5JdCDBzBcSA0g1x2XkU-DEsyJokiQBQ5nCA7a2KyAwyksfDw1EN2uQhst7XABXJjdnSfWyZGFvBoXbsBQ5XoXWyBvMXVQxB8NaRudH_Z20gN3yzgdH_dxoyDAOhQ/s3264/PXL_20230202_013352975.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVre_kjc6m6zntAWe5axN2TsiuMbGOMt9t9XBrAggtC_iOK5wE9hesZMxMPu5JdCDBzBcSA0g1x2XkU-DEsyJokiQBQ5nCA7a2KyAwyksfDw1EN2uQhst7XABXJjdnSfWyZGFvBoXbsBQ5XoXWyBvMXVQxB8NaRudH_Z20gN3yzgdH_dxoyDAOhQ/s320/PXL_20230202_013352975.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready to see the Peking Acrobats</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br />Lately Greyson has been really into tying knots with yarn. So in addition to his "glue art" (dumping glue over a bunch of items and then sticking other items to it to make his "craft") he has enjoyed tying random objects to stationary items using yarn. He loves to be busy with his hands haha. On Saturday we had the Matthews over (friends from BYU days) who we enjoy seeing about once a month. The kids were out playing night games in the cold and having a blast and it was hard to pull them back in. It is so great when they can all decide to try new activities and not mope around chanting "I'm bored". </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmdt0-K2XwRognEHYPOOniQtcJiKNeB8z3iIEk1puDND3loyCnziKz5c0EfSG3vu3js0UxH1k5H5KuK-oXkNuZT87We8AS3ZX3l6l8H1Ls6oRxbc_FcgZ5Giy-UxRzo9L1g50dpDsh1zCNztFRoxFZPGhLuW6NX7sBRvU84X8ScnrjnVG0WQZNA/s4032/PXL_20230205_195524951.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmdt0-K2XwRognEHYPOOniQtcJiKNeB8z3iIEk1puDND3loyCnziKz5c0EfSG3vu3js0UxH1k5H5KuK-oXkNuZT87We8AS3ZX3l6l8H1Ls6oRxbc_FcgZ5Giy-UxRzo9L1g50dpDsh1zCNztFRoxFZPGhLuW6NX7sBRvU84X8ScnrjnVG0WQZNA/s320/PXL_20230205_195524951.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson string tying inventions</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPPIL60J_ByDIwX16CbNhcgk_IWY9WxbqBXl3dDxuUSarN3rFv512L36IgDAy-sA7r_KgKWdnWmf9KwCa6CSfCQFzyFJeJXeUzhmH3Jh6CvL3khsnIJILeAWpsIlevOg3I_v63DFDA7FhTEDBeE8_gaIJPU4X9jIWnC4_qfa3K4F3fIw4uEFLckg/s4032/PXL_20230205_003504716.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPPIL60J_ByDIwX16CbNhcgk_IWY9WxbqBXl3dDxuUSarN3rFv512L36IgDAy-sA7r_KgKWdnWmf9KwCa6CSfCQFzyFJeJXeUzhmH3Jh6CvL3khsnIJILeAWpsIlevOg3I_v63DFDA7FhTEDBeE8_gaIJPU4X9jIWnC4_qfa3K4F3fIw4uEFLckg/w400-h300/PXL_20230205_003504716.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dinner with the Matthews</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div></div></div></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788639825518734443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692445828267763976.post-18848597301799352812023-01-29T13:20:00.012-08:002023-01-29T13:22:22.801-08:00January 2023<p><b>January 29, 2023</b></p><p>Last Sunday I was brave and took the kids out on a "daddy adventure".

He turned 5 on Thursday and celebrated with both sets of grandparents here. Pretty neat! He was sick for much of the week so we were happy he was feeling well enough to go to school and enjoy a friend birthday party on Saturday at an indoor play place called Coconut Cove. There were 9 little boys there plus Hinckley who was there for the cake and candy bag. Addie was sick and unable to attend but enjoyed staying home with Grandma to watch a movie and recover. It is hard to believe Greyson has been with us already for 5 years. He has so much energy and keeps us all actively moving on to new things every few minutes. He was inspired by a picture book we have about birthdays and asked to eat macaroni and cheese in the bath, which we let him try. He really enjoyed that haha.<div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDOSFsTuEZCM8dg_jKOv0vZ4YwrGk26dqxuofWZMYm2HFmCPAoL9kjhPFcbg5emDYo_iPeI6KXSqKi9U4pS64p_HKdyJ3uL75O684YN_IIJNsWcn71mKzYznwAgmQqEfglLIaW7Tfna_Xm06omENG--xsUSjBguV6dAWcLtKBRtjnfmRdbUr7kUg/s4032/PXL_20230126_182313689.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

I was terrified of the former but it turned out to be a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to going back again next week. <br /><br /><p><b>January 22, 2023</b></p>The week started off with MLK day break on Monday. After some dental and ortho appointments in the morning we went to a school in Orem to do a service project (quilt tying) which was almost already done when we arrived. Luckily there was a little we could do and Addie and Hinckley both really liked it. Greyson was entertained by a pull-up bar the entire time so that was a blessing. We enjoyed the new Puss in Boots movie at the theater afterwards and though the personification of death as a wolf was a little much for Addie we all had a pretty good time!<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmtRjzgaIAynVu5bOn5Pci0gC9CmfdCnm_OpGiRiK11I_hpaHKpzVFu8PdZyEOfJd3Y9VQoPBeLzvNgaJl46JOhxAYrYZQ0To8UQRkXhXzOiJ44aMRkcCUDShlSLgkJiIJSg8reWqC6NhYNpQs8p4U78iOSbBL3U4f26AjZ67krZxhMNy0aWew-Q/s4032/PXL_20230116_172804479.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmtRjzgaIAynVu5bOn5Pci0gC9CmfdCnm_OpGiRiK11I_hpaHKpzVFu8PdZyEOfJd3Y9VQoPBeLzvNgaJl46JOhxAYrYZQ0To8UQRkXhXzOiJ44aMRkcCUDShlSLgkJiIJSg8reWqC6NhYNpQs8p4U78iOSbBL3U4f26AjZ67krZxhMNy0aWew-Q/s320/PXL_20230116_172804479.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cuddle time</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiskSbJd6TtJipV-7vmACD_9foyhQPodKE7Sa2UxPohJsFhC15HUartfNG4L7iDvI_i_P6KyocKLDt8m8Sekdg_cFwLhWD9OpeY3f8smqX543LAR_2efWW9S89YKIBvDZiVAx0UEchKmdE2DxapfBztzFpVV8vd2yZ3zQWtXqDeh0pDlFrrj9Jhiw/s4032/PXL_20230116_204039588.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiskSbJd6TtJipV-7vmACD_9foyhQPodKE7Sa2UxPohJsFhC15HUartfNG4L7iDvI_i_P6KyocKLDt8m8Sekdg_cFwLhWD9OpeY3f8smqX543LAR_2efWW9S89YKIBvDZiVAx0UEchKmdE2DxapfBztzFpVV8vd2yZ3zQWtXqDeh0pDlFrrj9Jhiw/s320/PXL_20230116_204039588.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sewing quilts on MLK day</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilrtTINsOu9V-3twIPpp3wpjJYLagdhuku3RFgshcbflB6_BuGJ3by8aqf1AbS_OGdObJTTbFIsmgu784SRSDDFi17WzUXCLgzpt8UB2gCGASwZdwX7hk04ofJ3NZDh3vtw6IMyip_sQmrPQzVc16dGETqp5-dxcdWz4vZAtFRcpeulBYrr8uTqA/s4032/PXL_20230116_203447672.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilrtTINsOu9V-3twIPpp3wpjJYLagdhuku3RFgshcbflB6_BuGJ3by8aqf1AbS_OGdObJTTbFIsmgu784SRSDDFi17WzUXCLgzpt8UB2gCGASwZdwX7hk04ofJ3NZDh3vtw6IMyip_sQmrPQzVc16dGETqp5-dxcdWz4vZAtFRcpeulBYrr8uTqA/s320/PXL_20230116_203447672.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pull-up service</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>We had some sickness throughout the week starting with Kassie which was a carry over, and then a quick cycle through all the kids. Addie threw up at school one day and by Saturday Hinckley had thrown up in his room. Greyson seemed fine until we arrived at church and he suddenly started coughing every few seconds...so we put a mask on and made it through haha. Sickness is always a great reminder of the blessing of good health. Addie had her first experience with girl's activities at church since she will be turning 8 in August. I can't believe it! She had so much fun, and could hardly talk fast enough to tell us all about exactly what happened at the activity.

I've been enjoying it and so far don't have much buyer's remorse. One thing I've learned about in this group is the concept of "rucking" (walking with weight on your back). One evening this week I took the kids to do a 1 mile ruck in our neighborhood and we all got back packs on with some weight added and walked around the block a few times. We all had a lot of fun!

There were crafts, a big program, and some fortune cookies we could enjoy. Addie and Greyson had a blast! Kassie and I were blown away by the size of the high school and all the things that the students were doing to put the event on.

Their family lost his 4-year-old sister due to complications in a routine tonsil surgery. She had Down's Syndrome and was of course a huge part of their family's identity and life. Hinckley struggled with all the big feelings this news brought and he grew a lot this week. On Thursday his friend was back at school and Hinckley was able to give him a hug and use his "sit by a buddy" ticket he had won before the holiday break in order to be with him. He seemed to be feeling really good with how things went in coming together as he had been pretty worried about what to say and how to show up as a good friend. Going to his second session at the Ninja Playground on Wednesday night helped though! He had a blast and on the way home he said that it was really helping him with his confidence. He's doing great on those obstacles!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Addie really caught the reading bug this week. Thanks to those hilarious "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books she has become quite the book worm. We experimented giving ground in the evening and letting her read for an extra 15-20 min beyond the time we usually read with her and she is excited about how big that feels to "stay up late and read". So far it has gone pretty good and she's read about 4 books this week!<br /><br />All the kids had a blast when Nana picked them up to take them to the Provo Rec center on Friday (out of school for teacher work day). They had a wonderful time swimming and diving and all sorts of things. Greyson was so excited about it that for our Dad/Greyson date on Saturday he wanted me to take him back to the Rec center there to play in the jungle gym area and on the outdoor park. He continues to explore ways to assert his power as the youngest. His techniques of swearing and using physical force are quite effective. This week I tried doing more physical things with him and now he is always asking "can we box?" in which he literally tries punching me in the face with his fists. Haha, keeps me on my toes.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQoFF-pnlmIJCH6KEcGqSyezVZhByszgepJG3etddijk0E0cWeH2FV9sdkDZ9c4DxuxtSbzjmyDOXCEXe56HAUwbvlf2hT7hEuAHSwYiWYChyL94jyfSuKc8dtLbVlzUB4IzFozAQOsKutxHBQXKU4OJuvcnswwEYII_MXdoaFUp9255iFX_BOsA/s4032/PXL_20230114_203933407.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQoFF-pnlmIJCH6KEcGqSyezVZhByszgepJG3etddijk0E0cWeH2FV9sdkDZ9c4DxuxtSbzjmyDOXCEXe56HAUwbvlf2hT7hEuAHSwYiWYChyL94jyfSuKc8dtLbVlzUB4IzFozAQOsKutxHBQXKU4OJuvcnswwEYII_MXdoaFUp9255iFX_BOsA/s320/PXL_20230114_203933407.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson/Dad date at Provo Rec Center</td></tr></tbody></table> <p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>January 8, 2023</b></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;">We finished off the holiday break with sledding at the bowl in Provo with the Kays which was a lot of fun! They hosted us back at their house with some pizza and cousin play time which was a wonderful way to conclude a long vacation. Kellie talked and talked! She sure opens up when in the comfort of her own home! The next day (Tuesday) we all returned to our various routines and bedtimes which has been positive for the most part. Hinckley had his first Ninja Playground class on Wednesday (think American Ninja Warrior classes for kids) and he had a blast. The coaches were kind and the other kids weren’t too annoying and he seemed to be in his element. He was able to see immediate improvement after trying a few obstacles and getting feedback. I’m glad it was so positive. He is now begging for us to go every day instead of weekly. Hinckley and Kassie had a fun date on Saturday doing a scavenger hunt at DI in Saratoga Springs.

I think that question is actually really valuable for all the info coming at us these days, and it is interesting she is so honed in on that and wondering about that. She wants to know who is acting, what is in a real place, what is “movie magic” and so forth. It is really something. She was able to get in a lot of friend time this week which was her priority after such a long vacation time with family. Addie and I had a really fun date going up Provo canyon to play in the snow on Saturday. It was frozen over so we were able to explore that in some fun ways, and it was some good connection time. She read out loud from her book the whole way up and back and we stopped at Blox (Like Crumbl but brownies) for a treat. Dates are some of my favorite things about being a parent.</span></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqrYNAS1RZlKP64Sgu2DTdbJrVlkfjCw7ZrfVvQyKXWPbAVxobqBqFKb6-KpH4hCVhC115DvmuhJ5hhT-FChO6L1iWYrQEY2WrQtbbTUNhzvLU6U0u6MQmlf9H32yXYXnDunyQV96JfZ1nhyrlsEbZjmWSGfaZrOeLjZK5sKpsu5yKwu3O6Z18NA/s4032/PXL_20230102_181210504.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqrYNAS1RZlKP64Sgu2DTdbJrVlkfjCw7ZrfVvQyKXWPbAVxobqBqFKb6-KpH4hCVhC115DvmuhJ5hhT-FChO6L1iWYrQEY2WrQtbbTUNhzvLU6U0u6MQmlf9H32yXYXnDunyQV96JfZ1nhyrlsEbZjmWSGfaZrOeLjZK5sKpsu5yKwu3O6Z18NA/s320/PXL_20230102_181210504.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley, Logan, and Kelli</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8TeRdfF6N0Meudx6rvhEUvQygAxvT35VX0W7zoQ_K0StBTUAvaoqmCFSEXBrtZ3zppTgqR3xGYBGzSLGQPA371B5Ma-VaFTJCwf0rxcVShfSTQ96JVt6JH3boQI-QwFpzPYlnAc8ytagqrQyJzQ99edJm10mN2V1xJHJiBmGJQeQ2wXCWnbGRg/s4032/PXL_20230104_153815399.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj8TeRdfF6N0Meudx6rvhEUvQygAxvT35VX0W7zoQ_K0StBTUAvaoqmCFSEXBrtZ3zppTgqR3xGYBGzSLGQPA371B5Ma-VaFTJCwf0rxcVShfSTQ96JVt6JH3boQI-QwFpzPYlnAc8ytagqrQyJzQ99edJm10mN2V1xJHJiBmGJQeQ2wXCWnbGRg/s320/PXL_20230104_153815399.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie having an ortho "consult"</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglaSlxwvJn2ujrDN8D7rWnr9QbFDjnaD7csN18G3X-K95ihXyzy6rAVcyAg6gSI6VOY5vOp9qM2rvyAdBTv6r34U7UGVH4GS7LeruO3LELYdUU4nHsDWwd8uiB4kArICAOWqRM5L1-sadtRrlX61Vom0UbUX7RkTfoC0o-XHFH8mOOxbvy3_kOxw/s4032/PXL_20230104_222539245.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglaSlxwvJn2ujrDN8D7rWnr9QbFDjnaD7csN18G3X-K95ihXyzy6rAVcyAg6gSI6VOY5vOp9qM2rvyAdBTv6r34U7UGVH4GS7LeruO3LELYdUU4nHsDWwd8uiB4kArICAOWqRM5L1-sadtRrlX61Vom0UbUX7RkTfoC0o-XHFH8mOOxbvy3_kOxw/s320/PXL_20230104_222539245.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rebuilding the snowman</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh69F74Qlya40Eb3blqc6WDn5brU47PfXBGYcA2iRyDsYA_12-IcByxBXMbrb4im-X56gQh4331v7MSEn4lfykjjUDnP8CbVifNKyXt78eogk3BBMqJk8LbyLVlRVxR0_jt1tORxn7rLuv5NpiRlS3CvEjrmyK8zZIUZfOEkjqWFLDp_52Iu1T1fw/s4032/PXL_20230106_174452939.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh69F74Qlya40Eb3blqc6WDn5brU47PfXBGYcA2iRyDsYA_12-IcByxBXMbrb4im-X56gQh4331v7MSEn4lfykjjUDnP8CbVifNKyXt78eogk3BBMqJk8LbyLVlRVxR0_jt1tORxn7rLuv5NpiRlS3CvEjrmyK8zZIUZfOEkjqWFLDp_52Iu1T1fw/s320/PXL_20230106_174452939.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Science experiments with Mom</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;">Greyson has been working on earning his "check mark" each day to get another obstacle for the Ninja Line we have in our backyard. To earn that he can't pull off the couch cushions and jump on them, his favorite activity. This week he did really well! And managed to find other ways to build obstacle courses without damaging the house. He continues to explore ways to assert power and influence on all of us including loud screams, physical outbursts, and swearing. We are all getting a little better about supporting him in healthy ways without losing our minds. He has lots of ideas and is very sweet, especially when he gets a full rest. </span><p></p></div></div></div></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788639825518734443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692445828267763976.post-11644892785904076912023-01-01T10:47:00.004-08:002023-01-01T10:47:43.129-08:00December 2022<p><b>January 1, 2023</b></p><p>We've had a lot of adventures at the tail end of December! </p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Driving to CO, flying to MX, many adventures in Cancun, and then the return to CO (adventure in itself) and finally driving through the snow back to UT.

Kassie lost her mind about Greyson getting out couch cushions and so we came up with a plan to try and avoid that. We’ll see how that goes. Greyson is right at the age where he gets that we aren’t happy, but he can’t fully comprehend why and what to do about it. Lots of learning. They were ecstatic about the line being set up though and between that and Ninja classes and so forth they have more than enough opportunities to jump around on stuff without having to get out the cushions and everything. </span></p><div><br /></div></span><p><b>December 11, 2022</b></p>This week Addie's long awaited class store took place at school and it was a smashing success. She "sold" many items she had worked on with Kassie's help and "bought" lots of things from her classmates. She was really excited about that and had lots to say on the subject. At the dentist she learned that she may be a likely candidate for braces in the future and was both excited and scared about that. Hinckley had a cavity and was very interested in that process including how the laughing gas and other numbing agents work. Kassie took the two youngers and I took Hinckley to the store so they could get gifts for one another and they are all filled with the buzz of Christmas anticipation. <br /><br /><br />Each day Greyson created another house-filled obstacle course. But one time he extended it to the kitchen and dining room. It is fun at the moment but a huge pain later as he often refuses to clean it up. There were couch cushions stacked up by the sink and blocking cupboards, and he was in heaven. After a sibling exchange in the kitchen one of the cupboards cracked and there was much sorrow and gnashing of teeth. Fortunately with the help of a neighbor who has every kind of equipment imaginable I was able to fix it with some wood glue and clamps while following a YouTube video. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSgh-9zCiftAgv331bM18IYv4bKuD8teOwyURZzdu97jmZosgTcHogR1EnpqgNOEfzEgTpTKeJZqkXhEG-vjCIO873nQvrHUbuaG2WdZG__z6OTug5tSwpdYOhI5qiF8qp58yZDZDyAxgnQPYcAzD3Qhpiru_SKqEET6l1lptCk-w0b-01Uk4N2g/s4032/PXL_20221207_140254437.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSgh-9zCiftAgv331bM18IYv4bKuD8teOwyURZzdu97jmZosgTcHogR1EnpqgNOEfzEgTpTKeJZqkXhEG-vjCIO873nQvrHUbuaG2WdZG__z6OTug5tSwpdYOhI5qiF8qp58yZDZDyAxgnQPYcAzD3Qhpiru_SKqEET6l1lptCk-w0b-01Uk4N2g/s320/PXL_20221207_140254437.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie waking up in the morning with her coat on</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />We had a fun family visit to the Butterfly Biosphere.

We all held a butterfly on our fingers and Greyson seemed very proud of himself with that. Hinckley overcame some old phobias and held two butterflies, something he has refused to try since being pooped on by one a couple years ago.

I went to Addie's music class this week and we went real slow as there was a very strong blasting wind on the way with lots of snow flurries. She had fun counting Christmas trees inside the homes that we passed. Greyson broke one of Addie's ornaments and made a replacement one out of construction paper and tape to demonstrate his contrition. On Monday we started yet another family challenge: no more put-downs (name calling, etc.) I created a chart and some rules inspired by cooperative game design and thus far it is going really well. On that note, we celebrated 1 month of "level 3" which means the kids wash off their own dishes and put them in the dishwasher. I'm really proud of them for doing that and it has become a habit! We had lunch at Chuck-a-rama on Saturday as the prize. It was the first buffet experience for Addie and Greyson and it was funny to see them follow the predictable pattern of curiosity, excitement, total delight, and food coma pain. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Kol279z_qgpbQLdcIRsjzWtt35ZvMClQCWO2zWzOnAu5WudpidNBJX28ja6m7zmKersFQg6a-jWVX68k8e-WQWbcQdnU81VOLoINhZNxTGyF7bMS1IszvbU9OWakELH-lATSnuSIH96j8rwA26hST7G4nJU0_2TEmH-ZhCARsglBE_dlQOBthw/s3264/PXL_20221203_195648275.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Kol279z_qgpbQLdcIRsjzWtt35ZvMClQCWO2zWzOnAu5WudpidNBJX28ja6m7zmKersFQg6a-jWVX68k8e-WQWbcQdnU81VOLoINhZNxTGyF7bMS1IszvbU9OWakELH-lATSnuSIH96j8rwA26hST7G4nJU0_2TEmH-ZhCARsglBE_dlQOBthw/s320/PXL_20221203_195648275.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Getting started at Upchucks</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIzXP6DjJEs9Y4MzIpHGpjCCZpaRS7oOdxxSaylTKGHTe7PQmPhCtS6VOzhWL-p1ZK9cvz3xbuE7_aMBcB7KUr6HcIxJpylpPwyWi9mB9UvyGoeRMLq8H09pikzm1fAkg_IFfcpa6cP6T4QqR1Bys6Q3xKB0fqwyr9TAwSPt2fmK_ILGINjamGjA/s4032/PXL_20221203_204055213.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIzXP6DjJEs9Y4MzIpHGpjCCZpaRS7oOdxxSaylTKGHTe7PQmPhCtS6VOzhWL-p1ZK9cvz3xbuE7_aMBcB7KUr6HcIxJpylpPwyWi9mB9UvyGoeRMLq8H09pikzm1fAkg_IFfcpa6cP6T4QqR1Bys6Q3xKB0fqwyr9TAwSPt2fmK_ILGINjamGjA/s320/PXL_20221203_204055213.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Finishing up at Upchucks</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6QdE_y1AbpRvt70LL-zWwTcz7G6WhCBC0m3cL4kuTpOmq9ZZ_xfDMdEYqhY4jMGG_XvP_azUN8RYQEnS-8eWXGmr5F7GlJ-WHKV-zCZbKbSBjLxW0VfjdyibjcuzqdpzSoh3lM7Yn1r06fFitfeqq3z4LBYwpAS_Um2Iu3B5-ELrC26-P9OuVw/s4032/PXL_20221203_185514379.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6QdE_y1AbpRvt70LL-zWwTcz7G6WhCBC0m3cL4kuTpOmq9ZZ_xfDMdEYqhY4jMGG_XvP_azUN8RYQEnS-8eWXGmr5F7GlJ-WHKV-zCZbKbSBjLxW0VfjdyibjcuzqdpzSoh3lM7Yn1r06fFitfeqq3z4LBYwpAS_Um2Iu3B5-ELrC26-P9OuVw/s320/PXL_20221203_185514379.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie's new desk</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>We had a really good time at the Thanksgiving Point Luminaria event this week as well. At the Ashton Gardens they have loads of Christmas lights and also some really beautiful lanterns set up in the Christ statue area that chronicles his life. Everyone stayed warm and had fun. We had some good discussions about Jesus too and Greyson learned that Jesus is the baby in the nativity, not the grown man haha. On Saturday we spent some time with Brandon Hofheins and family and learned how to be good house guests. Lots more to learn there but that is the way of things. Kassie and I saw <i>Devotion</i> for a date and reflected on the sacrifice and courage of those who have gone before.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUNFl87FYui72IYac8PrHlNMkpBGR3gO2eJEs1mLCNnEsjxldByfZfmlIYjWKbiR9E_67zVdhwVm8PdC4m1DEYoQKVTz8MED49hUb3riox2rB_kzTrWLMEJb0BhFqnc6g3ReGQEnZQhgm7bUkVjPhhGYIekTmDyDuUeUARydLT75r3rsl0YGt2-A/s4032/PXL_20221201_005345416.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUNFl87FYui72IYac8PrHlNMkpBGR3gO2eJEs1mLCNnEsjxldByfZfmlIYjWKbiR9E_67zVdhwVm8PdC4m1DEYoQKVTz8MED49hUb3riox2rB_kzTrWLMEJb0BhFqnc6g3ReGQEnZQhgm7bUkVjPhhGYIekTmDyDuUeUARydLT75r3rsl0YGt2-A/w400-h300/PXL_20221201_005345416.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At Luminaria</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xj-mxgsCXwMygnFclhQXZZNvtJji8RjU0fWpfOMvR-B8dYsCY2VVeAvOXA4mxpP30w3Xh2zjvSKrZpe_7EiZShExRP93PUIwSS7kLJ6jOclHG-1XFoc4Ii83Em31gCe-xUFQd-3w9EASpOv9O_latfZR6zEiA9sOUJE1B_x7FgzBZOOHPM0BHQ/s4032/PXL_20221127_233902762.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xj-mxgsCXwMygnFclhQXZZNvtJji8RjU0fWpfOMvR-B8dYsCY2VVeAvOXA4mxpP30w3Xh2zjvSKrZpe_7EiZShExRP93PUIwSS7kLJ6jOclHG-1XFoc4Ii83Em31gCe-xUFQd-3w9EASpOv9O_latfZR6zEiA9sOUJE1B_x7FgzBZOOHPM0BHQ/s320/PXL_20221127_233902762.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Boy doing homemade obstacle courses</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5XpWPOCDxhDnvrIi-xfDSuMCspLg66Tpvi6P3DBF4VyBtU5J260kh2SxUUgpYZxuQ33Iajki9jHCLkRXZLwrFKF2eLgmv6_dKxudFEQZ2CY8B7-3smittwplq4gVE_1vfIF8KqwNGYO3IUR52mIq87h2zHsIEn4WwIav6bgTcxYjQh6iNU8t49g/s4032/PXL_20221128_214228272.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5XpWPOCDxhDnvrIi-xfDSuMCspLg66Tpvi6P3DBF4VyBtU5J260kh2SxUUgpYZxuQ33Iajki9jHCLkRXZLwrFKF2eLgmv6_dKxudFEQZ2CY8B7-3smittwplq4gVE_1vfIF8KqwNGYO3IUR52mIq87h2zHsIEn4WwIav6bgTcxYjQh6iNU8t49g/w300-h400/PXL_20221128_214228272.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson's ornament replacement</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgox6DzO8dI8DTjD9SV8BCvxVepYWakv5Ymj83N2wfnFIQGhPFiXUCP2sZx8SXDdb1zh1ci92lD8FSb2sdlva_IqONRK8R8S_tPqzZQVYrO8GtAJ2SUb_xiOdrI9UlQ-AtTE7Y4TE2eE3Of7pxe-wTJFn13VqK9UHz4JYRcZWgerwmB1n-xaF9AA/s4032/PXL_20221201_021023353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgox6DzO8dI8DTjD9SV8BCvxVepYWakv5Ymj83N2wfnFIQGhPFiXUCP2sZx8SXDdb1zh1ci92lD8FSb2sdlva_IqONRK8R8S_tPqzZQVYrO8GtAJ2SUb_xiOdrI9UlQ-AtTE7Y4TE2eE3Of7pxe-wTJFn13VqK9UHz4JYRcZWgerwmB1n-xaF9AA/w400-h300/PXL_20221201_021023353.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Family at Luminaria</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><b>November 27, 2022</b></p>We had a happy Thanksgiving week here in Lehi and had Kassie's parents and sister for much of the time. Early in the week the kids had some pie parties and "feasts" which they enjoyed. We have much to be thankful for! It was a pretty laid back time off. We went swimming at the Lehi Rec Center, watched the new Disney movie Strange World, played some games, made another "Spook Explorers Movie" written and directed by Hinckley, and ate a lot of food. Greyson and I went to the Ninja Playground which he has been anticipating for quite some time. It is basically everything he's ever dreamed of after watching American Ninja Warrior Kids over and over again. We were there for 3 hours! He was jumping and swinging and full of energy the whole time. He and Hinckley were both pretty excited to show their grandparents how they like to hang on the pull up bar I put in the garage and Addie had many notes and pictures to present to them as well.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

We finished our "family class" on Tuesday, it has been an 8 week thing we've done down in Orem where we go with our whole family in the evening to learn more about communication skills and other things to help our family. They had a little graduation ceremony and some cake which everyone was pretty jazzed about. It has been a good experience. I got to do Books and Buddies with Hinckley this week which means I went to school and read with him for about 45 minutes along with an army of parents. On Saturday we went to Hangtime (a trampoline park) and the kids had a blast jumping all over the place and practicing obstacles. Hinckley hurt his foot but hopefully it mends well soon with minor bruising. We watched <i>A Little Princess</i> and everyone enjoyed it! <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigMYs12gU678_SWrnTtivoXW76taAqBLZLDZDAyJSeXMuSshasR3jDxWhcvSSS0EN_TIIWZOoFjeIHKffzSrvr4fbLWAN4mgw6hV_tgRg0nP9vCs1Bh7VDT3J6-id7Qa4atJHTt5ZF4k7S4M4UcaAgiU_I9x2s3-mRNY7w6FUyMsgAn-ekrOUY8w/s4032/PXL_20221120_183537369.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigMYs12gU678_SWrnTtivoXW76taAqBLZLDZDAyJSeXMuSshasR3jDxWhcvSSS0EN_TIIWZOoFjeIHKffzSrvr4fbLWAN4mgw6hV_tgRg0nP9vCs1Bh7VDT3J6-id7Qa4atJHTt5ZF4k7S4M4UcaAgiU_I9x2s3-mRNY7w6FUyMsgAn-ekrOUY8w/w400-h300/PXL_20221120_183537369.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Family "Come Follow Me" about following prophets</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlO_SOVJjMw3uZH2YXVgXc0PG8UFf_8Fnf2wA1FYa4hrq7EZIBdvTtoHYavbS8KnvJfcccsn0ZfBRLEZcoEGX1U5LGHjgSmFEDr_Ev72plWX-NtUY05WHUSaJV-tNNEHYlPPF2R1AnNsW0pOKK5rvEMKKM6swtRx_OzfukdVnzs0c9A_8pHF470Q/s4032/PXL_20221116_031634235.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlO_SOVJjMw3uZH2YXVgXc0PG8UFf_8Fnf2wA1FYa4hrq7EZIBdvTtoHYavbS8KnvJfcccsn0ZfBRLEZcoEGX1U5LGHjgSmFEDr_Ev72plWX-NtUY05WHUSaJV-tNNEHYlPPF2R1AnNsW0pOKK5rvEMKKM6swtRx_OzfukdVnzs0c9A_8pHF470Q/w400-h300/PXL_20221116_031634235.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Family Class Graduation!

I made 6 gallons of hot chocolate for a neighborhood get-together as a part of the ward mission efforts to help neighbors speak to one another. Not very many people ended up coming, but it was a good try. Some friends came over in the evening and enjoyed the hot chocolate very much so it all ended up ok.<div> <p><b>November 6, 2022</b></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;">We had a great Halloween and the kids all went nuts. Addie and Greyson sacrificed to the Great Pumpkin. Nevertheless, Greyson has had some major meltdowns this week in his fruitless search for more candy. The Halloween hangover is real, and the kids were like zombies the morning after. Kassie, Greyson, and I were able to go see the other two march in a parade at school in their costumes (a Utah thing?) and they were all pretty happy about that. </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The boys are over the moon about it as they see it as their next step toward American Ninja Warrior. They figured out some “stations” in the garage and did exercises together for nearly 30 minutes two nights in a row. They even took off their shirts to "get buff"...! They are pretty motivated right now. Meanwhile, Addie chattered with me for the whole time about her class at school and she was happy to be able to talk for a long time without interruptions.

She did a bunch of school work one day and drew for over 2 hours straight on another, so all in all she did pretty well with that. It was Red Ribbon week (no drugs) and she was sad to miss PJ day and other special dress up days. Hinckley enjoyed crazy hair day and “retro day”. He wore a 50s outfit with a white shirt and jeans. He couldn’t find his regular jacket so last minute I suggested he wear his suit coat…which he did. He was called “Mr. President” most of the day at school and actually reveled in the attention from what I can tell. Greyson also enjoyed getting some crazy hair for one of the days.

I went with Hinckley to the “Spook Alley” which he managed pretty well, and I enjoyed his holding my hand the whole time and for about 20 minutes after. I’m very glad I didn’t allow Addie and Greyson to go through with us on that. Phew. Addie was over the moon about all the costumes and chatted non-stop through the event.

On Saturday Kassie and Addie met up with Abi and the Kay girls for some treats which sounded like a lot of fun. We enjoyed carving pumpkins when they got back! This year was the smoothest operation on that front than what we've had in a long while. Pretty exciting! We had some snow at the beginning of the week and everyone was nuts about that. Hard to believe we are entering November this week!</div><p><b>October 23, 2022</b></p>The kids finished up Fall Break on Monday and Kassie took them to Ninja Playground in Lehi. The boys were ecstatic and Addie wanted to go home early, though later she changed her mind about it. On Tuesday they were back in school and are now very deep into the Halloween spirit. Kassie was accepted to the UVU nursing program! It starts in January and though there are still many questions about how that would work we are moving forward with that as the plan for now.

Friday night I took the kids camping at Utah Lake on the last warmish day/night for the foreseeable future. They had fun exploring, jumping on rocks, waving glow sticks, and eating dough boys. The next morning I achieved the remarkable feat of folding up the tent and getting it back into the tent bag on my first try.

He looks so grown up.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1HvGpxns9Txb4ou57A_ViKIKesUBqsb54c8LSRCntwi3O6WgCYZlpz1LQj06NsNRKcp8NJ1YXjKAqxK1daLUlYgHYk4CZFwUhCKfRfdVzuoOglPHT0MvBHjo04J3AZieQMN1fUidv2NUomTv3_cJ3Q4iyk0KzbLj4o7fGxdLpyn88AwccMDDINA/s4032/PXL_20221010_193047441.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1HvGpxns9Txb4ou57A_ViKIKesUBqsb54c8LSRCntwi3O6WgCYZlpz1LQj06NsNRKcp8NJ1YXjKAqxK1daLUlYgHYk4CZFwUhCKfRfdVzuoOglPHT0MvBHjo04J3AZieQMN1fUidv2NUomTv3_cJ3Q4iyk0KzbLj4o7fGxdLpyn88AwccMDDINA/w400-h300/PXL_20221010_193047441.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Surprise pumpkin patch outing</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAuHnf9d52_sgsiZ-UhQw6j_KHCHeg-IvDWYB8ttRV7NawFDgaO_wr_8QErxIlNCewy9nD9Q4gwIP4JMI5GcZ6YEPRmoCBA7i5hVEYA6QFZsC0U_zKnBu1yYVKj5IipaH63fZFaeCQO1QF6I-PNjr-R6E4FcGd3tKyerPxqAPk0bWqH-OD-xV7iQ/s4032/PXL_20221010_210229408.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAuHnf9d52_sgsiZ-UhQw6j_KHCHeg-IvDWYB8ttRV7NawFDgaO_wr_8QErxIlNCewy9nD9Q4gwIP4JMI5GcZ6YEPRmoCBA7i5hVEYA6QFZsC0U_zKnBu1yYVKj5IipaH63fZFaeCQO1QF6I-PNjr-R6E4FcGd3tKyerPxqAPk0bWqH-OD-xV7iQ/w300-h400/PXL_20221010_210229408.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pumpkin smiles</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8UDJKdM239XYHtwm8n65uwSPzTItmeKC4FeFrzmsaPlaqhwteQo4XFhmUAUk0hM1A_t7GSbdFEaA9dDcR-BlhxKEuG56wgjrHRqOPSXU2VEhwLLqXfFQuPKos2v3vaahk4cJHd0qms3nWn5qQcBGdeQXvso2vrbQ9uvk_9GYqkYUD7YpYB8GqkA/s4032/PXL_20221014_160521822.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8UDJKdM239XYHtwm8n65uwSPzTItmeKC4FeFrzmsaPlaqhwteQo4XFhmUAUk0hM1A_t7GSbdFEaA9dDcR-BlhxKEuG56wgjrHRqOPSXU2VEhwLLqXfFQuPKos2v3vaahk4cJHd0qms3nWn5qQcBGdeQXvso2vrbQ9uvk_9GYqkYUD7YpYB8GqkA/s320/PXL_20221014_160521822.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">From Mullet Man to Tron Tech Dude</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV87riAMp3ckJHS2egxkF9q0tBbduZObzmrhQDY6KFhDGXv5QH_cv3tCI9LYvKYYfvlV0vGKogmnV96INKjYVJp-b-e4BkFt8rjIIhJ_J8DICCA_YRqop3H74t_rsxbXUQHTAkzESFOV31s3F2SNfjikzrmQHPwcg5sSiyBGSGVSOSRpJn0cQeFw/s4032/PXL_20221014_192853528.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV87riAMp3ckJHS2egxkF9q0tBbduZObzmrhQDY6KFhDGXv5QH_cv3tCI9LYvKYYfvlV0vGKogmnV96INKjYVJp-b-e4BkFt8rjIIhJ_J8DICCA_YRqop3H74t_rsxbXUQHTAkzESFOV31s3F2SNfjikzrmQHPwcg5sSiyBGSGVSOSRpJn0cQeFw/w400-h300/PXL_20221014_192853528.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Halloween sugar cookies!

So how it works is you go in and get your feet washed and then you stick them into a fish tank. The fish suck off the dead skin from your feet! It is supposed to be like a pedicure but done by fish. Apparently the owners discovered the concept while serving as missionaries in Indonesia, and they have places like this in other parts of the world. It was a pretty fun experience and felt funky. We walked around BYU campus a bit to see the new music building (it is huge!) and looked at some really modern art at the Art Museum. Kassie still hasn't heard from the UVU nursing program but should by the end of Tuesday so we aren't sure yet what we'll do on that front.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2PtOLRXpxIgqVAgfzXcDMJIS43j2mB6zL4syhz4p4S-TVYEyYrRv6LxrRXd9sJuLhEQ-Tsdvr9CAaBtJZcX-5hbhHxTgkPQrCzbjN7LpklkvVpuBoZaysoJGSq5o8-G2YJGMosK-f-Ebx9O5Z0bUxMAVd1VlHo6cp01J9znG51l03cwxFaWN6g/s4032/PXL_20221014_223947904.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2PtOLRXpxIgqVAgfzXcDMJIS43j2mB6zL4syhz4p4S-TVYEyYrRv6LxrRXd9sJuLhEQ-Tsdvr9CAaBtJZcX-5hbhHxTgkPQrCzbjN7LpklkvVpuBoZaysoJGSq5o8-G2YJGMosK-f-Ebx9O5Z0bUxMAVd1VlHo6cp01J9znG51l03cwxFaWN6g/s320/PXL_20221014_223947904.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fish Kiss </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZTkouET8qi8xcMRgNYDRA0luJgye2AekACRps9rwInzKIcM8kPxKE3-gQUqrEzFBwXzcuskvzjKut7uVsuCMAe9OSdPIXWKec4fIpliUkB8YmXV06BcPgTQs7oPhJWpf9PK3UzWzhIxsQxjpz5KkOkWqqqPhUiAyDlkB-FWXAjhQh27q0Onrl9g/s3264/PXL_20221015_003811608.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZTkouET8qi8xcMRgNYDRA0luJgye2AekACRps9rwInzKIcM8kPxKE3-gQUqrEzFBwXzcuskvzjKut7uVsuCMAe9OSdPIXWKec4fIpliUkB8YmXV06BcPgTQs7oPhJWpf9PK3UzWzhIxsQxjpz5KkOkWqqqPhUiAyDlkB-FWXAjhQh27q0Onrl9g/s320/PXL_20221015_003811608.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Walking on campus with the famous fall-time sunlight</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </div>Things are going well at work for me as I am getting used to being in my new role. I got to volunteer as a co-facilitator for two 3 hour training sessions this week where we did a workshop for young professionals across the Middle East and Africa about Design Thinking and Agile problem solving which was really cool. There are so many neat opportunities available in this job and I'm very grateful to be here. <p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>October 9, 2022</b></p>This week Hinckley finished his tennis lessons and we went out to celebrate at IHOP together. That was a hit for everyone and we realized we haven't gone to a sit down restaurant in many years as a family. We also had family pictures near Utah Lake and another week of the "family class" with UVU which was good. Hinckley went to a friend's birthday party while the rest of us went to a Halloween party at the library which the 2 youngers enjoyed quite a bit. The weather has been absolutely perfect this whole week and I got a few games of Pickleball in during my lunch breaks throughout the week including with Kassie on Wednesday which was lots of fun. The colors are coming out everywhere and the sun is just right. It is perfect.

text-align: center;"><br /></div>Both Hinckley and Greyson are really fired about Beastmaster (show on Netflix) and American Ninja Warrior - both obstacle related shows where people jump from thing to thing in amazing physical feats. On Sunday night Hinckley wanted to look up the diet and exercise routine of the athletes and wrote a training plan out for himself. He seems to be slightly more open to the fact we are trying to help him (not poison him) by providing various nutritionally rich options to eat at mealtimes. A few days this week after I got off work I gave the kids some "exercises" to do in the backyard which they were all excited about. Hinckley and Greyson spent nearly 1.5 hours on Saturday practicing different exercises at two parks while I read in the shade and gave the occasional "Nice job!"</div><div><br />Addie celebrated the end of her soccer season with her team by having a pizza party. They played Red Rover, had "bridge" contents (make a bridge with your body, and other fun things. She seemed to really enjoy her soccer season and wants to do it again next year. She continues to draw and write lots of cute notes which she delivers in secret and end with "write back!"</div><div><br /></div><div>Kassie had her UVU nursing program interview this week and has mixed feelings about it. Regardless it feels good to be done! She'll hear back by next week whether she got in or not. </div><div><br />I've been thinking a lot about Fowler's stages of faith, the concept of <a href="https://www.choosingtherapy.com/differentiation-of-self/">Differentiation</a>, and how it ties into some of the things I heard in conference and the reading from Isaiah this week. Lots of interesting things to consider, but what has me most interested is in how I can and am to apply it to how I approach my daily choices. I've been experimenting for the last month or so in giving myself a simple score for each day on things like "self-regulated myself today" and "was present today". That simple reflection has really helped me consider areas I need to repent in, or just adjust my environment and/or mindset too. I re-listened to Pres Nelson's talk about overcoming the world and what that means and saw a lot of great connections there too!<div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>October 2, 2022</b></div>This week I was struck down with a stomach bug or food poisoning, a few other family members had hints of it as well including Addie throwing up in the middle of the night.

We had our first one this past week and it seemed to be fairly positive for everyone. Greyson really liked it because for his age group he just played games and activities the whole time. They split us up into groups for the first part (adults, teens, 10-12 yr, 8-9 yr, 5-7 yr, and 5 below) and then the second part we are all together.

He got mixed up and didn’t have enough money for what he wanted to buy, and the cashier actually bought everything for him with his own money. Hinckley was really confused and upset about it all, thinking maybe he did something wrong. Hopefully he won't be too traumatized to try and continue learning how to do things on his own. He seems to really be enjoying the newfound freedom of bike riding. We finished the final Lord of the Rings movie with him and I enjoyed rewatching all of those very much! Hinckley started tennis this week and despite some frustration seemed to enjoy it. He and Kassie went and hit a bunch of forehand shots on Saturday to get some extra practice in.<br /><br />Addie loves playing many imaginary games and has really gotten into her book about unicorns. She continues to draw pictures everyday and writes notes to her friends. Soccer is going well and adds to her load by the end of the week leaving her very tired and unstable. That said, she had a great time playing with Greyson and her friend Brooke this Saturday outside. She picked strawberries and washed and cut them for everyone for their outside tea party.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2VtY8BsfGpp4y20--eGcGrKoRKMb2DiVEwooxKeVmUoetGVYsyCP5isoPDISPUMnbt3DGIran-D-jv7P529KCCsSoijSpfu0Q2y7CyT74t-dC5G0narPxEaqk4OYTZOEkoeV15uuiu6jilyKEGWPIzM_dsgJBQnrVDupsPzMFMwKcwTP_24R9ag/s4032/PXL_20220910_003542180.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2VtY8BsfGpp4y20--eGcGrKoRKMb2DiVEwooxKeVmUoetGVYsyCP5isoPDISPUMnbt3DGIran-D-jv7P529KCCsSoijSpfu0Q2y7CyT74t-dC5G0narPxEaqk4OYTZOEkoeV15uuiu6jilyKEGWPIzM_dsgJBQnrVDupsPzMFMwKcwTP_24R9ag/s320/PXL_20220910_003542180.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie's bridge</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Greyson is really interested in swear words which he has been eagerly trying to learn from Addie or anyone else.

He has built up quite the mental model of parks in the area and is often requesting specific parks in order to hone his obstacle-climbing abilities.

We still have some pressure issues with the irrigation system but if we can get that resolved this week it will just be the rock left before we can be done with this. It has been a ton of work, and though I am happy we are doing it...I don't know if I would have done it had I known what would have been required. I think much of life is like that though haha.<b><br /><br /></b><div><b>September 4, 2022</b><br /><br />It is hard to believe that August is over! This week was dominated by the quest to get rid of our ripped up sod. After getting some insanely high quotes we decided to rent a truck from Uhaul and get it done. As of Saturday night we got it all hauled away. Phew! The kids kept busy this week with soccer, climbing on things, fighting with each other, playing with friends and school. We said goodbye to Darth Vader - Hincklely’s fish, who, after 2 weeks of steady decline, finally kicked the bucket. Greyson and Hincklely helped shovel a small hole where Hinckley’s pit used to be and we buried him with a few words of respect and love. I had my final Improv class of Improv 101 and am debating whether I should take the next one (102). It has been really fun and enjoyable. <div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJSaqv65FyMaREVpz_mTksnKbpchjMRSAFLF4sf_Wmg_bTjgVoV4LCsz0CzAJgQQe_80KxULUX3MV7tNPZtcmcU6KU19GBRkOK5AKde-i1pPpLuMeHVrZR8Epq6XYg8F8VXOrKH69dhEg-FKn17n1gFkBboOszxGubQawY2Z05W9wHmF-IfNt3Q/s4032/PXL_20220903_180234856.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJSaqv65FyMaREVpz_mTksnKbpchjMRSAFLF4sf_Wmg_bTjgVoV4LCsz0CzAJgQQe_80KxULUX3MV7tNPZtcmcU6KU19GBRkOK5AKde-i1pPpLuMeHVrZR8Epq6XYg8F8VXOrKH69dhEg-FKn17n1gFkBboOszxGubQawY2Z05W9wHmF-IfNt3Q/s320/PXL_20220903_180234856.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Swimmer Addie - we had a fun date to the AF pool! </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfa9dQGYfIm48jHpBI-KgoIDnXoGbMrofhIyoIVVJdb37zfxx80ryOY1m_Wec4BPJ4Zir_jepSD1gJPl_9rHmFbU9IAy7qYofU5szcj_N1hi5_BFT5M0NJ96IFSfcJtQAc0yP1kVlKO3PXgem-TILtLMAM_Uyde12wljV0okX2tqNqd8Mwss-1qA/s4032/PXL_20220828_155028148.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfa9dQGYfIm48jHpBI-KgoIDnXoGbMrofhIyoIVVJdb37zfxx80ryOY1m_Wec4BPJ4Zir_jepSD1gJPl_9rHmFbU9IAy7qYofU5szcj_N1hi5_BFT5M0NJ96IFSfcJtQAc0yP1kVlKO3PXgem-TILtLMAM_Uyde12wljV0okX2tqNqd8Mwss-1qA/w300-h400/PXL_20220828_155028148.MP.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tree climbing boys</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVG3pdMg2kLI-Wekv7P8r3s_9xwDc0MBxh9lLVPoCQFs57wEPrAt675fX-kGG62I_pVVc031-tslNbjSc8FVc45n2ifwi0VzlrnaikqaddETqav-ZlJW30TUtwHwxcJgXh3p6R5BTkoPBWxRDDHgergiJ3nzaNJ3K4JgLuKCCMK6-aWZLNGdUDUQ/s4032/PXL_20220828_154021445.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVG3pdMg2kLI-Wekv7P8r3s_9xwDc0MBxh9lLVPoCQFs57wEPrAt675fX-kGG62I_pVVc031-tslNbjSc8FVc45n2ifwi0VzlrnaikqaddETqav-ZlJW30TUtwHwxcJgXh3p6R5BTkoPBWxRDDHgergiJ3nzaNJ3K4JgLuKCCMK6-aWZLNGdUDUQ/w300-h400/PXL_20220828_154021445.MP.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Climbing Addie</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788639825518734443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692445828267763976.post-25334243996063220172022-08-28T07:59:00.000-07:002022-08-28T07:59:06.569-07:00August 2022<p><b>August 28, 2022</b></p>We are full swing into the new school/fall schedule! From soccer with Addie, to Greyson's swimming lessons, and Kassie's Anatomy class at UVU to my Improv class that wraps up this coming Monday we are moving a mile a minute it seems. But we are enjoying the variety of things that keep us moving. The kids are enjoying their classes at school and Greyson was excited to start PreK this week at the elementary school Hinckley and Addie are at. He was also very excited to be starting the 15 minute online portion of school he has each day which is helping him learn his letters and such through online kid games.

In keeping with the deal, we watched<i> The Fellowship of the Ring</i> since he finished all the books. He was quite enthralled, and it brought back a lot of memories of my own. So far it appears his teacher will not be assigning homework, which has caused much glee on Hinckley's part and much sorry and envy from Addie who has quite a lot. <br /><br />Addie is still enjoying soccer and had a game in the rain on Wednesday. I watched Greyson do "obstacles" throughout most of the game at a nearby playground where he lived out his dreams of being the "beastmaster" (from a Netflix show similar to American Ninja). Addie was really resistant to going to soccer practice the next day, but once I was able to actually get her to go over by her team and start she had a blast. She has made another really good friend in her class and now has a couple girls in the neighborhood and a couple girls at school that she enjoys playing with. In between meltdown fits and silly moods where she tries to push all the buttons of her brothers (and parents), she is constantly pumping out artwork and tender notes on behalf of her friends.<br /><br />Greyson is loving his school, and seems to be soaking it up. When we dug up all the yard strips on Saturday he was eager to play on the "obstacles" (the sod piles) and is always finding ways to try and turn something into an obstacle game. He can climb around the entire exterior of the play structure in the backyard (including the slide) and is especially happy if we watch.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizoFi8aBROP0ZGYzu8dJoiolS1MY0UPgSkzLijXxH6vYlWd-D6q8Z4FVM4M_4kAyctIrFl6vZsfMvLoefGwEt2bilQmo8n6SfEHKFGb1iVIi5cq-aGZSwlirRMHBc4YS9Om9MiNcpX8gJBn2ys-PXeT02_XaxYjsWERRsNArKDZXDunSXZKHeELQ/s4032/PXL_20220827_004247444.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizoFi8aBROP0ZGYzu8dJoiolS1MY0UPgSkzLijXxH6vYlWd-D6q8Z4FVM4M_4kAyctIrFl6vZsfMvLoefGwEt2bilQmo8n6SfEHKFGb1iVIi5cq-aGZSwlirRMHBc4YS9Om9MiNcpX8gJBn2ys-PXeT02_XaxYjsWERRsNArKDZXDunSXZKHeELQ/s320/PXL_20220827_004247444.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Beastmaster</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS3wuy_bjq4iKLgVUBXudSUFy2lM_YiaDxxSq-UZgXW3dnRTp5l2RvTOvTFImU98cfbhuseOm_Vx4SqZ_AsDY-iy3mvWBZxGZLB-F_1gB5tBckvVSFaHhz_jEisIFBnV0hAEuVeT2byKuBqjO9hzZPFHCcAQC1zy1fnIZHCkmPF6c8UCazhIBKmQ/s4032/PXL_20220827_180712028.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS3wuy_bjq4iKLgVUBXudSUFy2lM_YiaDxxSq-UZgXW3dnRTp5l2RvTOvTFImU98cfbhuseOm_Vx4SqZ_AsDY-iy3mvWBZxGZLB-F_1gB5tBckvVSFaHhz_jEisIFBnV0hAEuVeT2byKuBqjO9hzZPFHCcAQC1zy1fnIZHCkmPF6c8UCazhIBKmQ/s320/PXL_20220827_180712028.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Summer relaxing</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9LhIF-m4CxuP_ImGA1pZN8p9W2bghIwUeD0gzpZGibdTCiFht_d9_pr634AA0zkE5_hL84pL4zupz-XZiVJUqPbeaN2Np8BY_6L19ws1P7_Qi9EWFGvKNsj1uh4SxtdkjVDxAjaOp3_IfVcd0k6MCVSBGex_eep4m7SRRzA86o42N0ZFmhEs9fA/s4032/PXL_20220823_212008719.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9LhIF-m4CxuP_ImGA1pZN8p9W2bghIwUeD0gzpZGibdTCiFht_d9_pr634AA0zkE5_hL84pL4zupz-XZiVJUqPbeaN2Np8BY_6L19ws1P7_Qi9EWFGvKNsj1uh4SxtdkjVDxAjaOp3_IfVcd0k6MCVSBGex_eep4m7SRRzA86o42N0ZFmhEs9fA/s320/PXL_20220823_212008719.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Grown up work</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ6d6u4pJHkNX8WFOYIS-3D-dCy_hF4Oy15Q6zmKcjkVJzJHI0iyYWwbIoWDyWrHBrq5QY5pvHvByu8GYZ66ngq48Xc3ULdwsdccCeWTm7vhtetBuqHg7eY0q0G7Zg4RDJbkBBjvHcQKwpJTvzNriLQnHnhzyYFZEpTkdzfWchQQ-THcUJQziCeg/s4032/PXL_20220827_162841544.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ6d6u4pJHkNX8WFOYIS-3D-dCy_hF4Oy15Q6zmKcjkVJzJHI0iyYWwbIoWDyWrHBrq5QY5pvHvByu8GYZ66ngq48Xc3ULdwsdccCeWTm7vhtetBuqHg7eY0q0G7Zg4RDJbkBBjvHcQKwpJTvzNriLQnHnhzyYFZEpTkdzfWchQQ-THcUJQziCeg/s320/PXL_20220827_162841544.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ripping 'em up!

I enjoy hearing what she is learning about and am reminded just how incredible our bodies are! Ripping out the yard strips was a reminder about my own mortal body and how quickly it can get completely exhausted. Phew! We are hoping to get a little more out this week and the next job is figuring out the sprinklers. I accidentally broke one of our neighbor's sprinkler heads which was not fun to see early Sunday morning as water shot way up into the sky. I've loved my Improv class and consider it a highlight of my week. We laugh so hard together, and it's been a great way to learn how to break through some of my social anxieties I feel like. I've also had a ton of fun the last couple weeks meeting with a couple guys who work from home in the neighborhood to play pickleball during my lunch break. All of these things have been inspired by reading <i>The Power of Fun</i> which talks about looking for activities that combine connection, play, and flow. Pretty great! <br /><br /><p><b>August 21, 2022</b></p>We've finished up the first week of school for the two olders. They are both really excited about their teachers and classes and have friends already which is wonderful. Addie found a nice friend in her class that helped her calm down on the first day when Addie was quite distraught at saying goodbye to me before going in. Hinckley rode his bike to school twice this week and is pretty excited about that. One of the days he rode to his friends after school to play and both he and Addie are getting more confident either calling friends or just running over there to see if they can play.

She loves "running around" though which had me thinking maybe she wants to try a sport where that is all you do (cross-country). Haha.

He seemed ok with that and not too upset. He has had a fun summer out there with the shovel and his imagination! His fish Darth Vader is still somehow clinging to life and we wish there were more we could do to help him in his old age. A neighbor suggested putting him in the freezer as the most humane way to "put him down"...? Not sure. Hinckley finished The Return of the King, the final Lord of the Rings books and is very eager to see the movies. Following Trent and Tristan's precedent I have agreed to the deal and though I know he didn't understand maybe 40% of what he read I am impressed he stuck with those books all the way to the end. Reading those with Hinckley has reminded me just how amazing they are!</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiuaw7Zmx5JIlPEWfqQVHMOmmWgGwpkzqcaLk_nchaC10sZZbX-RYOkbcnPlrPikZnHsZ9thecLSqyORkPiXOZuoSYSzZd5Y94rH9mKj_HfZ2LDSQVnvpUNCppvnLug3sjng5I1ApHA9foTjXcvawBCnDXbaYYZ70Fbu09rw7JlLw7zhYtLwm8uBg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiuaw7Zmx5JIlPEWfqQVHMOmmWgGwpkzqcaLk_nchaC10sZZbX-RYOkbcnPlrPikZnHsZ9thecLSqyORkPiXOZuoSYSzZd5Y94rH9mKj_HfZ2LDSQVnvpUNCppvnLug3sjng5I1ApHA9foTjXcvawBCnDXbaYYZ70Fbu09rw7JlLw7zhYtLwm8uBg=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A final playtime before filling in the pit</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcV0prKFRkXXtDMIYdgFncrmco_oy3W81PVgTC6-Zap_AQ2Uh9ULABQiU0os3tIIoRQg41N5i0eKt23q1GH8rxPBu5nn-zDO0Z9MrVHKyRlHblb9uKqMprUs9dddYdEjj5Jzer5OKRGxeXWo5P4DZh-C2fo51aNQmSMozfcbzRSMWW7iyp04BDZg/s4032/PXL_20220817_135432719.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcV0prKFRkXXtDMIYdgFncrmco_oy3W81PVgTC6-Zap_AQ2Uh9ULABQiU0os3tIIoRQg41N5i0eKt23q1GH8rxPBu5nn-zDO0Z9MrVHKyRlHblb9uKqMprUs9dddYdEjj5Jzer5OKRGxeXWo5P4DZh-C2fo51aNQmSMozfcbzRSMWW7iyp04BDZg/s320/PXL_20220817_135432719.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First day of school, ready to go into the trailer!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div>Greyson has enjoyed some of the extra time for himself this week with siblings gone at school. He has started building elaborate structures with colored blocks including "spook houses", water slides, and structures inspired by his new favorite TV genre: obstacle course game shows. He loves to see how people jump and swing from things and often fall into water or "lava" with lots of cheering and chanting. It's pretty funny actually. He was excited to meet his new PreK teacher at the same school Hinckley and Addie are attending and he starts next week.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTKGoZ7zUKT_FCUwQ_ggOkJCyPu-XCZbbD7ifAAqd9BoPZ48h-Xn-zIY5Bh8wmbiXE-1J_NwIi7td00vQvadj7sC73aFv_MHtFI-sGc0chLb9jecOwxRUJzafNFsngIoLFi0tLSmpSI3CpoXKa5XMcw15XFxHGWEb9_WQWrTJTe5wFnU6XBjmsGw/s4032/PXL_20220818_235655283.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTKGoZ7zUKT_FCUwQ_ggOkJCyPu-XCZbbD7ifAAqd9BoPZ48h-Xn-zIY5Bh8wmbiXE-1J_NwIi7td00vQvadj7sC73aFv_MHtFI-sGc0chLb9jecOwxRUJzafNFsngIoLFi0tLSmpSI3CpoXKa5XMcw15XFxHGWEb9_WQWrTJTe5wFnU6XBjmsGw/s320/PXL_20220818_235655283.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Giant "waterslide" from blocks</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig7oFf8NstK2o1yca1BqgQpRPwmeGPuRyQPgNBkImcmkTjtQoYOoCxgHNi3IiiQofDxR0KRNRfMw3LTEwCVZUTX-QkuacW24W1dZJ7OmU4juH6Z2cx9oCVS1AK87fUZYjRSpqLGd6XVnetsTwxZaH_KSIUzWiFxoH7puZWijl11b5jFN3ZQ2Mxeg/s4032/PXL_20220819_002611823.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig7oFf8NstK2o1yca1BqgQpRPwmeGPuRyQPgNBkImcmkTjtQoYOoCxgHNi3IiiQofDxR0KRNRfMw3LTEwCVZUTX-QkuacW24W1dZJ7OmU4juH6Z2cx9oCVS1AK87fUZYjRSpqLGd6XVnetsTwxZaH_KSIUzWiFxoH7puZWijl11b5jFN3ZQ2Mxeg/s320/PXL_20220819_002611823.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">a block "toilet" </td></tr></tbody></table></div><br />Kassie will also start school next week!

I took the kids to the Curiosity museum in the morning. The kids had so much fun doing a puppet show, hanging from the “sloth rope” challenge, and making up a bear/hunter game outside in the maze while it rained on them. Addie discovered a baby snail near the large snail I was observing and we had fun seeing them slither along together. Afterwards we came home shivering from the rain and everyone got "cozy" and we watched Daddy Movie which today was Newsies. The kids didn’t seem to love it a ton, but they watched it nonetheless and I think it was good for them. Kassie also took the kids on a final summer bike ride to Maverick for slushies earlier this week before school started again and they enjoyed that! It is amazing to be able to go places like that now as they are all getting more and more self-sufficient.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

They all improved a bunch and were so excited about it.

Hinckley is interested in the swim team next year and Greyson just loved everything about the water. We had some final summer activities this week with Kassie taking the kids berry picking in Mapleton, Greyson attended a couple days of a "summer camp" with the neighbor just behind us, and we took a few strolls to nearby parks and around the neighborhood. Hinckley and I had a really fun date at the AF pool where we “swam laps” and dove to the bottom of the deep end. We also played “transformer horse” where he had to stay on my shoulders/back as I dove around the shallow end. That was really fun until the lifeguard told us to stop.

It is fun to see her learning and growing so much and it is hard to believe she'll be 8 next year. <br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2V-ptpHxYeyI5dif0dBSQ9MRyVVHWUg9rJdnUH4vlyo_pfWbRi7q6VvjHTX_2jHXuwcHaI5Pp53aJ5p_hbdAtXqVLb2Luh85zhIUgnt3JQsVhiHtfMYr_Ou9TbrTl7OLSIl6Eg9TIyzKJ895EPkw_8ylmB9U3Bc8suEQ1sx8wmNedm3RiUaUXEQ/s4032/PXL_20220810_000120292.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2V-ptpHxYeyI5dif0dBSQ9MRyVVHWUg9rJdnUH4vlyo_pfWbRi7q6VvjHTX_2jHXuwcHaI5Pp53aJ5p_hbdAtXqVLb2Luh85zhIUgnt3JQsVhiHtfMYr_Ou9TbrTl7OLSIl6Eg9TIyzKJ895EPkw_8ylmB9U3Bc8suEQ1sx8wmNedm3RiUaUXEQ/s320/PXL_20220810_000120292.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Birthday girl and Mom</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKXwqDDar5xvGGBREnPdFvrsHmBDT5kpTxupHhr_PvQGqpqgoDV8dH7qevxxQBuGP1nbf5VlMA1NSd7jcF5E5FzlQBPkNhEieMW5GLm5yYyWYF3Q8Os9gZZyVBz2Be8Y55PktdsqiIzjjgSwLmfw9MPdtL3uf73tqXW8qg33ofg0twQAZRqlvMfg/s4032/PXL_20220810_000951206.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKXwqDDar5xvGGBREnPdFvrsHmBDT5kpTxupHhr_PvQGqpqgoDV8dH7qevxxQBuGP1nbf5VlMA1NSd7jcF5E5FzlQBPkNhEieMW5GLm5yYyWYF3Q8Os9gZZyVBz2Be8Y55PktdsqiIzjjgSwLmfw9MPdtL3uf73tqXW8qg33ofg0twQAZRqlvMfg/w400-h300/PXL_20220810_000951206.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Eating cake with Kay cousins and Nana</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaO2DkFvEiJ2dl5Ca6FqjLjaug6ohd1HsTc9AzQv0TiG6geg77T-0WtkSirBf7s6iV4LFQeT6uBbw4fvP5DcYf7L6mi57dh8Gyt08J3WJZTukW2IgJkWZPHsGytoHCM8j998hfLD8TZ6h4gAZyHopA1aOMCdUFvBGu4ZBqGIsJMzGqRz7l3xTLQA/s4032/PXL_20220810_004231382.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaO2DkFvEiJ2dl5Ca6FqjLjaug6ohd1HsTc9AzQv0TiG6geg77T-0WtkSirBf7s6iV4LFQeT6uBbw4fvP5DcYf7L6mi57dh8Gyt08J3WJZTukW2IgJkWZPHsGytoHCM8j998hfLD8TZ6h4gAZyHopA1aOMCdUFvBGu4ZBqGIsJMzGqRz7l3xTLQA/s320/PXL_20220810_004231382.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Playing with dollies and Kelli</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkLYMzHjbg4mqURmqQgWkvdFJNo6Xa0Fls5Hzs3l1e3wwTzW9yD-1JnRheTu1HNbaKhBhP7tDZgeQVC46j4CdEHxfHd4oI0sgn1_GOWtRJXIID06I2hMjfX8PoxdL4MOPrs-N47y4KrgqctUs3BZawZm_Zx0SB_dShpL7LSaF35T-wlvvCGqIXng/s4032/PXL_20220809_234842052.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkLYMzHjbg4mqURmqQgWkvdFJNo6Xa0Fls5Hzs3l1e3wwTzW9yD-1JnRheTu1HNbaKhBhP7tDZgeQVC46j4CdEHxfHd4oI0sgn1_GOWtRJXIID06I2hMjfX8PoxdL4MOPrs-N47y4KrgqctUs3BZawZm_Zx0SB_dShpL7LSaF35T-wlvvCGqIXng/w400-h300/PXL_20220809_234842052.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready for presents!

I am extremely impressed and excited about the role and company, and am eager to get going on my projects. Kassie found a desk addition item that will allow me to raise up my desk and stand when I want to so my home setup is feeling really good! I'm very grateful for how this is all shaking out. Kassie and I celebrated 11 years of marriage this week. Unfortunately Greyson was burning with a fever so we cancelled our plans for dinner and Western Dancing at the rec center on Saturday. Mom came and watched the kids earlier in the week so we were able to go play games with some friends in Saratoga Springs which was fun. <p><b>August 7, 2022</b></p>This week the kids started swimming lessons and that has been a hit! Every day they get ready with lots of enthusiasm and come back beaming and with many stories to tell. Greyson is really into it and loves splashing around and doing "bobs" (no talking of being drowned this year). Addie has also improved a huge amount and is not scared to dive off the edge of the pool. Hinckley is thinking he may want to do swim team next year and is enjoying learning the stroke techniques better. On Monday night we went to the Lehi outdoor pool to celebrate achieving their summer Lehi Library accomplishments but thunder and lightning ended the event after just 15 minutes which was distressing.<br /><br />As this was my last chunk of time between jobs we did our best to make the most out of it. On Tuesday we went up and got a tour of Welfare Square and then visited the Church History Museum. The kids really loved seeing some strawberry jam being bottled by machines at the Square and they were over the moon about getting some BYU Creamery chocolate milk at the end of the tour. The Museum was really neat and they have a new section there that is interactive for kids (as shown on the latest Friend to Friend broadcast). I also had fun taking the kids to the Dino museum at Thanksgiving Point on Thursday where we ran through the exhibit and also watched a 3D IMAX movie about the Artic. It was pretty fun to see them constantly reaching out to grab an eagle or polar bear and looking confused at being empty-handed.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

We had had the conversation about where I'd work for many weeks but never landed on anything that looked like it would work. But this might be it! We did an ultra-deep clean of Hinckley's room and got rid of 2 trash bags worth of stuff. There were many tender moments where he made the tough choice to say goodbye to various itty bitty items and knick-knacks. His fish Darth Vadar still lives but looks like he is ailing. I moved into that room as my office in time for my first day of work on Friday at the new job. The first day was purely set up and compliance meetings so I am looking forward to the coming weeks where I'll learn more specifically about my role.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5m0LcBosspF9SB2z_h2A_yZasZzmO3bXYcJBTZE3UZSMqEVZY7dGppUFr6Ch1iVI84eUjXQKyUhAeuKfQok1zMXph92dgWNpwQucx1jpyCLFNwugbqASDt7lcEDZkCSohvDjgjO1CSrGNMTuCBEnPSmCUj2qm63IyDVLQhi7kMD1uJhxiq_nQA/s4032/PXL_20220804_150720863.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5m0LcBosspF9SB2z_h2A_yZasZzmO3bXYcJBTZE3UZSMqEVZY7dGppUFr6Ch1iVI84eUjXQKyUhAeuKfQok1zMXph92dgWNpwQucx1jpyCLFNwugbqASDt7lcEDZkCSohvDjgjO1CSrGNMTuCBEnPSmCUj2qm63IyDVLQhi7kMD1uJhxiq_nQA/s320/PXL_20220804_150720863.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley's last hurrah in his old room</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY6ZXQT5OGw0BPE6b81BjJSwIEA1LRndS9h3AE9p7iBzciwwIlkqNIQKEXQ6rFrbjEpCj98zzyT4SJUnxiLhjjSxMyFxfJTIb4esskxXm68du1XHo1J-_CryxwWhaY0y_ExTqLm4xXblLAccDj4jtIIoIgCJ8hEyZwz-w5yfGTRvuuGGEOkBy5sQ/s4032/PXL_20220804_142307153.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY6ZXQT5OGw0BPE6b81BjJSwIEA1LRndS9h3AE9p7iBzciwwIlkqNIQKEXQ6rFrbjEpCj98zzyT4SJUnxiLhjjSxMyFxfJTIb4esskxXm68du1XHo1J-_CryxwWhaY0y_ExTqLm4xXblLAccDj4jtIIoIgCJ8hEyZwz-w5yfGTRvuuGGEOkBy5sQ/s320/PXL_20220804_142307153.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The room before the transition</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>On Saturday the boys and I hiked Stewart Falls and Nana came along. It was a beautiful day with overcast clouds flying by quickly and the wind rushing through the trees. The boys were very lively on the way up, commenting on everything including the discovery of a vampire log (a hollow log with shapes like teeth and horns) and all the funny-shaped trees that looked like "L"s and "J"s. Greyson made it all the way up and back the 3.4-mile hike without complaining! It was a win. Addie and Kassie had a shopping and Kneaders date while we were out. Addie was full of things to say about the dressing room (her first experience with that) and all her new back-to-school clothes. It's really feeling like the end of the summer with just one more full week before the kids return! </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

On Monday we went to a lake with Burnside cousins and grandparents and the kids had a blast going out on the kayaks and paddle boards. But the most fun came from fishing and playing "lifeguard". Hinckley caught a couple of fish and the kids took turns touching the scales (and the worms that were used as bait) and were all excited/grossed out. Then Hinckley caught a crawdad!

We had a great trip but it also feels good to come home again. The kids all had friends over the next day and we've been aiming to find things to keep everyone busy and going strong, but it is hard to compete with a fun 2-week vacation! They weren't too excited about having chores to do again. While grocery shopping Hinckley took up my dare to ask an employee for help finding coconut milk and I took his dare to use the word "because" any time I talked to an employee. It was fun! <br /><br />We had a really fun time at Splash Summit on Thursday and Greyson had his first experience on tube rides (Cave In, Mud Slide). Hinckley and I had fun on some of the big ones and Addie loved her time in the lazy river and the wave pool. She turned around right at the key moment on the Mud Slide tube ride for the second year in a row. I had a fun date with her on Saturday getting a pizza at Mod Pizza and then watching the live-action <i>Cinderella</i> (2015) in her room. I really enjoyed it! The message of living the values of being courageous and kind was really positive I thought. Addie also baked some cookies along with Kassie to bring to her school friend who has been unresponsive this whole summer despite phone calls, texts, and even a snail mail card. The cookies worked! And she has a playdate set for next week.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5z2mXvQCilWR0y8iZ7A-JSvulO3tX-vNTrQVvW-fsFoc4AE6_7RCPwVRjX1Klnq52k-yIew8JpRfTvMd5QJWyTebPIXYX7DQG8eNrKi4SBl3cqH-JQvTYq5YUpBAR--EmNK-oiKfwbIc6Mj2in8cyjXH__Om5DBYklAW4kfjS7W17kRRebbvifw/s3264/PXL_20220728_193214017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5z2mXvQCilWR0y8iZ7A-JSvulO3tX-vNTrQVvW-fsFoc4AE6_7RCPwVRjX1Klnq52k-yIew8JpRfTvMd5QJWyTebPIXYX7DQG8eNrKi4SBl3cqH-JQvTYq5YUpBAR--EmNK-oiKfwbIc6Mj2in8cyjXH__Om5DBYklAW4kfjS7W17kRRebbvifw/s320/PXL_20220728_193214017.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We did it! </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlflXGsx2EmXg7I-6KnH-TLI1PgFlK9nPJ0A25caGnWML6_xpBlJ7ZDdMFFqnDG9l96x8t5zTv4pE36ifMiZlJ0_yZh4zB3GcA6WmY_AVj_DKTquAycB_SQn8jaewsJg6eWE3z0YW1sTe_CBQBdLnGsUrm6OV_SRU4w2kvVsNgkYHyy2SNWBmGTQ/s4032/PXL_20220728_225013042.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlflXGsx2EmXg7I-6KnH-TLI1PgFlK9nPJ0A25caGnWML6_xpBlJ7ZDdMFFqnDG9l96x8t5zTv4pE36ifMiZlJ0_yZh4zB3GcA6WmY_AVj_DKTquAycB_SQn8jaewsJg6eWE3z0YW1sTe_CBQBdLnGsUrm6OV_SRU4w2kvVsNgkYHyy2SNWBmGTQ/s320/PXL_20220728_225013042.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stuffies and blankets</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Hinckley immediately threw himself into projects when we returned. He pumped out 4 new lego creation videos he wanted to upload to YouTube, made a new website on Google Sites about his favorite TV shows/characters, and completed a complex mask/helmet out of paper mache based on a character costume from the show Amphibia that he loves right now. It can be tough to keep up! And his younger brother is not a wit behind him. <br /><br />Greyson loves creating "Guuby traps" in the kitchen, which means pulling out all the drawers to annoy and trap anyone else in the kitchen at that time.

We went on some hikes, played in the water, earned some Jr. National Park Ranger badges, saw lots of wildlife, explored "spooky forests" and climbed on many rocks. The kids also really loved the hammocks that the Burnsides had brought and there were many fun times and bitter battles over those. Hinckley was overjoyed with a small hike we did up in the Alpine Tundra and kept commenting "I just love this so much" as he inspected little tundra wildflowers and plant life. Greyson kept wanting to do more hikes, especially ones that would take us "higher".

We have a couple more days here before we head back to Utah. <p><b>July 17, 2022 </b></p>This week Hinckely turned 9 years old! It is hard to believe how big he is getting. He seemed extra mature on his big day. Patiently reading cards before opening presents, giving hugs and gratitude to gift givers, being patient with himself on his new roller blades (“I’ll learn!”), and more. They went swimming at the Lindon pool which was a new experience for everyone. He got his hair cut into a mullet! Hahaha, it will be hard not to laugh when looking at him now. He certainly looks older with it. We had the Kay kids and Nana and Grandpa over, and Naomi (Kassie's mom) flew in the night before so it was a good little group for the dinner, ice cream cake, and presents. Addie was very excited to give Hinckley her gift which included a very sweet card and picture along with orange Fanta. Both she and Greyson did better than in years past with not being too jealous or throwing fits during the present time, so that was pretty incredible!<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicvm3UVM_hDFFvmbXqOWOT1n_Q4AsqKEIM2TBLSBa42ozpJ8p6iCeVdJOLqVCR1HIUOWofc0Tk8iHUYw4G2Ae1NosEagWVtLXSErOzGkfd7l6ZFQSYFgcTZPf4kFSXXjhlHahdkA7dyr3ytWaRH0VIBnanMNYwxpLsbPhRZXYMiVFo3ZUYgvglfg/s4032/PXL_20220712_155507039.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicvm3UVM_hDFFvmbXqOWOT1n_Q4AsqKEIM2TBLSBa42ozpJ8p6iCeVdJOLqVCR1HIUOWofc0Tk8iHUYw4G2Ae1NosEagWVtLXSErOzGkfd7l6ZFQSYFgcTZPf4kFSXXjhlHahdkA7dyr3ytWaRH0VIBnanMNYwxpLsbPhRZXYMiVFo3ZUYgvglfg/s320/PXL_20220712_155507039.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley's new birthday haircut</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrThCF-9ZZThAur6AledCgpqFFK4iPDWsQUiFF6AvYhsK5J-41TrHpZ-ZcjcIU-Mhh2ByntPtyiDHYbBNJUFgPbFdrZxbPsuASv-ov040QmjXSpSLWfyLbr-EFJ1eFVeww0mPT4OS6B5-DdMELZ74_I6uvoQzrhobulFSesvar0zi1GLcTR494g/s4032/PXL_20220713_004759282.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrThCF-9ZZThAur6AledCgpqFFK4iPDWsQUiFF6AvYhsK5J-41TrHpZ-ZcjcIU-Mhh2ByntPtyiDHYbBNJUFgPbFdrZxbPsuASv-ov040QmjXSpSLWfyLbr-EFJ1eFVeww0mPT4OS6B5-DdMELZ74_I6uvoQzrhobulFSesvar0zi1GLcTR494g/s320/PXL_20220713_004759282.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Birthday!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqa1get5u-SB3Y5h5v6GWcNxpbHK3c90VMuM4KnJFLzhb8rVYfNtwVofuu2-fExG3aSFgNZpC6qFyv7Vj7t2c9g3JLFid_GA_jM7qRdOXVUBfJBtuFJbHpHUDXbzaeGSnTbyxcXgkQjSLA0eVmKayTO81fxhWDXSOousMkxqd0VZ8CtJgDCJgmlg/s4032/PXL_20220713_011225106.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqa1get5u-SB3Y5h5v6GWcNxpbHK3c90VMuM4KnJFLzhb8rVYfNtwVofuu2-fExG3aSFgNZpC6qFyv7Vj7t2c9g3JLFid_GA_jM7qRdOXVUBfJBtuFJbHpHUDXbzaeGSnTbyxcXgkQjSLA0eVmKayTO81fxhWDXSOousMkxqd0VZ8CtJgDCJgmlg/s320/PXL_20220713_011225106.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready to roller blade</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_YP7ZfNa4TuHESLZfEDfPG-uyAH_3TjtquHKfFBk2dSUYf_UYYPTvMBoDzb0bCTm5Lj3T438NfW-X7Trw6MdSclAWNDanAxzhAB7cHfeMc2K-c3xxpmvzNFzNhcoiAXpOek0tZmIh44o2Dy4fL7AVLWFb0mQmSp1TY13UWB-RChSRnKYZjGyvoQ/s4032/PXL_20220713_004300077.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_YP7ZfNa4TuHESLZfEDfPG-uyAH_3TjtquHKfFBk2dSUYf_UYYPTvMBoDzb0bCTm5Lj3T438NfW-X7Trw6MdSclAWNDanAxzhAB7cHfeMc2K-c3xxpmvzNFzNhcoiAXpOek0tZmIh44o2Dy4fL7AVLWFb0mQmSp1TY13UWB-RChSRnKYZjGyvoQ/w300-h400/PXL_20220713_004300077.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Reading Addie's card</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Sunday night kicked off the fun Cousin camp that Hinckley and Addie attended with Nana and Grandpa and some of the Kays.

Those boys are a joy to see how they explore and mimic one another. Peter's cheeks command attention and demand respect! It was good to go up to the Grand America Hotel with Mom and Dad to commemorate Grandpa's being awarded the Legacy Award from the Days of 47 folks. There were some cousins there and also neat to learn about some other community members earning awards for all their contributions. <br /><br /><br />Also this week I hiked Mt. Nebo with Steph. It was epic! It took us about 3.5 hours to get to the top, and there were some amazing wildflowers out. It rained on us a bit but it was perfectly overcast and just right for hiking. We lost the trail a few times among the rocks but luckily found it again before straying too far.

We woke the kids up around 5:45 to go down and see the hot air balloons in Provo. Unfortunately due to weather, the balloons didn’t launch and everyone was pretty let down. The next adventure was to obtain donuts from Provo Bakery. We found a temporary spot to park about 10 blocks away and Greyson and Addie walked with me. We had to run through the Freedom Runners but we made it. Inside the bakery, it was mass chaos (think Black Friday Walmart videos from years gone by). We managed to snag 16 donuts and get out of there and walk back successfully without any major meltdowns…until we were about half a block away from the car I noticed Greyson no longer had Perplexus (his stuffed valentines bear Addie gave him for his birthday). So as he fell apart into tears and Hinckley ripped into the boxes of donuts, I ran back and luckily found the bear inside the bakery. Phew. We then made it to the Parade and the kids enjoyed that a lot. This year they had a pre-parade and they threw out candy which everyone loved. Thanks to Mom and Dad saving us seats, we even had some shade and a small breeze! <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqSrLM6Ei09077BABG3NW9uyF32vOn1Sh3FymX9lc0vCZdSvTrrczUzrQlKGe1wYnZ2k2iAs7DL1dS1NLu3DxZQ4pACV17c4XVdPtqtdQeV_39jC3azb4cMu8eLnsjHsFPXByx7zrD7jJYP-YfHjDSvfdRHN5cnWukThpPkiHNL9uam_bmNiAVQ/s4032/PXL_20220704_133501177.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkqSrLM6Ei09077BABG3NW9uyF32vOn1Sh3FymX9lc0vCZdSvTrrczUzrQlKGe1wYnZ2k2iAs7DL1dS1NLu3DxZQ4pACV17c4XVdPtqtdQeV_39jC3azb4cMu8eLnsjHsFPXByx7zrD7jJYP-YfHjDSvfdRHN5cnWukThpPkiHNL9uam_bmNiAVQ/w400-h300/PXL_20220704_133501177.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Victorious at Provo Bakery</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib72bV7uohhU2oygmoxNI3z_sM1xyLFNTQsX2m45ZAeL_wz7ZMJfpopxRxRFoiNAMkZUyQdHMoKWULQF0LYdMxaaffF1v38Ji5EUkq-JYdWnIOqy5EzG9FaDIGK2dlj2KLd0hjq1jxBR2HQ3EjTcMYGi7X5X1TrYHHfKPxdCek9mwQA0pSvCiPSg/s4032/PXL_20220704_143645927.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib72bV7uohhU2oygmoxNI3z_sM1xyLFNTQsX2m45ZAeL_wz7ZMJfpopxRxRFoiNAMkZUyQdHMoKWULQF0LYdMxaaffF1v38Ji5EUkq-JYdWnIOqy5EzG9FaDIGK2dlj2KLd0hjq1jxBR2HQ3EjTcMYGi7X5X1TrYHHfKPxdCek9mwQA0pSvCiPSg/w400-h300/PXL_20220704_143645927.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At the parade with the Kays</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8M8jiGf1Nh3e-ZurA5DiugdQVLb8fMqa-FywVsoPQL58tKTvhPeUr5ayY6jwWkUSH05yfq2os7uMxBvZ4VVGsPwQ-eDJnHBf8cH-wB1asw8nM0n4mCNbuShWMQJJkZuc7cSxoBSHJ7SH24Ba3vpV5ZO0rHBNzeTVwtcjtCZQqNZF_b4WpelerCQ/s4032/PXL_20220704_145627046.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8M8jiGf1Nh3e-ZurA5DiugdQVLb8fMqa-FywVsoPQL58tKTvhPeUr5ayY6jwWkUSH05yfq2os7uMxBvZ4VVGsPwQ-eDJnHBf8cH-wB1asw8nM0n4mCNbuShWMQJJkZuc7cSxoBSHJ7SH24Ba3vpV5ZO0rHBNzeTVwtcjtCZQqNZF_b4WpelerCQ/w400-h300/PXL_20220704_145627046.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready for the parade to begin</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7ugbkScPtLcr5JzRjfnBHq7ytj-ShlMRG-nvkL0QfDihR4tkFjLCj-my8faCEGhnJLDGslP46AnaMk3adZwUzEsxD68p1UrF2dJyNm-lWHU41h6psLcUSEOvwD1Nh8icaH-xjsrdl07oMxrbSApzeA-P7ichUsQQlV1wi_4CPu6QpdijCirI6w/s4032/PXL_20220708_222034764.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7ugbkScPtLcr5JzRjfnBHq7ytj-ShlMRG-nvkL0QfDihR4tkFjLCj-my8faCEGhnJLDGslP46AnaMk3adZwUzEsxD68p1UrF2dJyNm-lWHU41h6psLcUSEOvwD1Nh8icaH-xjsrdl07oMxrbSApzeA-P7ichUsQQlV1wi_4CPu6QpdijCirI6w/s320/PXL_20220708_222034764.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie's block temple</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>The rest of this week flowed by in a combination of swimming, hot weather, errands, friends coming over, tears, and more. Friday Nana and Grandpa came and took Greyson for a special grandparent date and he was in heaven! They went to a jump park and Mcdonald's where he put down a ton of nuggets and soda. The next day I took him on a Dad/Greyson date to hike the Y. I loved watching him take it all in as we went up the Y. He was excited about sticks, “dark forests” (some trees off to the side of the path), and finding the “big rock” that he recalled seeing a picture of me on when I was a kid hiking the Y. His greatest excitement came from seeing “chip and dale” on the Y itself. We could see a few squirrels scampering around down near the middle of the Y when we sat at the top. We got a “Y” donut at the Creamery after and he only took a break in stuffing his face in order to sneak up behind a trash can and chase a crow. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfPlxadzUQxLW3WHoIZnS658k_LDrr2wf9uxIlQ-EWF6rhoeC2_YrHXdi_rTi2h-GWtolwc6lwQ5eeDyQj5zbd2ThFl-yWMC2WA07uTKuEe4KGWTj7pmAiIaEohsvN4kTCj2Ez2wY15j3zAlA_HPtgu1_B3RreppKaplBuTFuEwCXWyV0DPnJgg/s4032/PXL_20220709_145914483.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfPlxadzUQxLW3WHoIZnS658k_LDrr2wf9uxIlQ-EWF6rhoeC2_YrHXdi_rTi2h-GWtolwc6lwQ5eeDyQj5zbd2ThFl-yWMC2WA07uTKuEe4KGWTj7pmAiIaEohsvN4kTCj2Ez2wY15j3zAlA_HPtgu1_B3RreppKaplBuTFuEwCXWyV0DPnJgg/s320/PXL_20220709_145914483.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At the "big rock" for the second time</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwtRrMuL1MDLfnWAW1Pe6eLr_PcpGmEvIJxd3EKK_qzHtIPh69pW26O6TkX1JyH-5NbhKQCOhT_5PDjkBlimHxkRaxWpM9gPeVT2PmVqXRkrGWdTVLkXzJqk8Zr9k0o3OBPswxnd_XAwAWQfkOYjuDLKVuuOV90IfqYwnU1LXkefL8jd3p_FYpug/s4032/PXL_20220709_143722961.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwtRrMuL1MDLfnWAW1Pe6eLr_PcpGmEvIJxd3EKK_qzHtIPh69pW26O6TkX1JyH-5NbhKQCOhT_5PDjkBlimHxkRaxWpM9gPeVT2PmVqXRkrGWdTVLkXzJqk8Zr9k0o3OBPswxnd_XAwAWQfkOYjuDLKVuuOV90IfqYwnU1LXkefL8jd3p_FYpug/w300-h400/PXL_20220709_143722961.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Spying Chip and Dale on the Y</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaDYFrNOWtTDmUTi2qiT982K0Y1VkEIDQhK-bxGKG31m5H2v_k6KRQ1DffjEXHgE_gOGevEJmyz1URTzqIhqj6MgjgmqxGfhXtBgFr33RVYwAdQTiq82tX6AenV3joDHJ1fk4juIGXm0p69NxSdPujopikgyzz3_MjAcEm9i5t1x3gb35xipjxYA/s3264/PXL_20220709_134723735.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaDYFrNOWtTDmUTi2qiT982K0Y1VkEIDQhK-bxGKG31m5H2v_k6KRQ1DffjEXHgE_gOGevEJmyz1URTzqIhqj6MgjgmqxGfhXtBgFr33RVYwAdQTiq82tX6AenV3joDHJ1fk4juIGXm0p69NxSdPujopikgyzz3_MjAcEm9i5t1x3gb35xipjxYA/s320/PXL_20220709_134723735.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ready to hike! </td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Saturday afternoon we finished lunch and faced the prospect of 2 more hours with the kids before a babysitter came and Kassie and I went to the temple.

Kassie and Greyson weren't feeling well at the beginning of the week so they didn’t participate in our first neighborhood "cookie walk" that we did on Tuesday evening. A cookie walk is something this neighborhood used to do but hasn't done much of since the Pandemic. I helped organize it as a part of the Ward Mission and we had lots of people out and walking around the block visiting with each other and eating treats. Addie and Hinckley filled up on treats and their tummies were hurting by the end. It was neat to see neighbors out and about, and I am hopeful that next month’s will be equally successful. Kassie was unable to do the Nursing school interview with UVU on Wednesday and they gave her the option to do it in a few months as a part of applying to the Spring semester. She feels better about that anyway as she considers other options and directions outside of nursing. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

They were gone from 10-4 each day and were assigned a small part in the show and learned some basic songs and dances. At the end of each day, they went across the street to the Lehi Rec center and swam for an hour. Pretty cool format and they loved it! On Friday we went up to Midvale at an outdoor venue and saw their performance which they did really great in. They got to wear two different costumes and were really excited about it all. It was a very positive experience for them both! Greyson was pretty patient as well with the nearly 2-hour performance, though he desperately wanted to climb the trees next to some other people and he went and peed in a bush nearby before we learned of some bathrooms available. It was fun to have Dad along for the performance. <br /><br /><br />Greyson had a lot of time with Kassie this week because of the camp. As they got feeling better they went to the Lehi Splash Pad, Farm Country, and also hiked the G (Greyson's been wanting to do this for months now). He has a lot of energy and emotions and has been extra tired lately, though he always wakes up as early as he is able.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNMG8SuHG6OMCUhotTTUFnET8OH4f-9fZnu6cdAKjzxOmNsOY1cTTsZKzAkNZZl4-JtSv5cm5Mnr6i3hNbRfrCcOSJnNGDGan1Jn-KIl_SqsfDPZTjch9x9IheVbd1H6Cuuv7oOfuagGSFU3m72vB1WuTcoBQx3a_tMIXALVnqCz9ptnMcOo6P_Q/s4032/PXL_20220617_131706211.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNMG8SuHG6OMCUhotTTUFnET8OH4f-9fZnu6cdAKjzxOmNsOY1cTTsZKzAkNZZl4-JtSv5cm5Mnr6i3hNbRfrCcOSJnNGDGan1Jn-KIl_SqsfDPZTjch9x9IheVbd1H6Cuuv7oOfuagGSFU3m72vB1WuTcoBQx3a_tMIXALVnqCz9ptnMcOo6P_Q/s320/PXL_20220617_131706211.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Daily ritual this week, eating breakfast in hiking gear</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOcfw1-xubfg4er9MRR7CaLiP4QnVsxSRlvHsC25S3m3r0WENvnob3HdMsQM-cJOJBRUovyzDYtFfRXFnflsWqF5lo3CrgKvEIiLbw8V6i7hC4Mm1MCVaxXJNP-4XeWvh1eHKM2y0LKftay7EM2u2utG3i29hZW3e5kcH6dDaX2GQzsBFJzr4eQ/s4032/PXL_20220614_210447919.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOcfw1-xubfg4er9MRR7CaLiP4QnVsxSRlvHsC25S3m3r0WENvnob3HdMsQM-cJOJBRUovyzDYtFfRXFnflsWqF5lo3CrgKvEIiLbw8V6i7hC4Mm1MCVaxXJNP-4XeWvh1eHKM2y0LKftay7EM2u2utG3i29hZW3e5kcH6dDaX2GQzsBFJzr4eQ/w400-h300/PXL_20220614_210447919.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Riding on Elvis the pony</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSUxONZ3MkxkrNkNm1i5jxRPEcfp14tZMfztZ3hOHKFmJ83D_-nCh3RSzyUJ-BBGfZ2wPz0gVrPpWC4MdGcrrpqQOB5uBBryMzP8EZ7iHcSiZahIz2HXJu9rwJyPYecycfVRPLHIpfXgo-p-CCoo9NuVKZ7kfKnOlD26M3i0J8oSI-auRskr1-SA/s3264/PXL_20220617_170644876.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSUxONZ3MkxkrNkNm1i5jxRPEcfp14tZMfztZ3hOHKFmJ83D_-nCh3RSzyUJ-BBGfZ2wPz0gVrPpWC4MdGcrrpqQOB5uBBryMzP8EZ7iHcSiZahIz2HXJu9rwJyPYecycfVRPLHIpfXgo-p-CCoo9NuVKZ7kfKnOlD26M3i0J8oSI-auRskr1-SA/s320/PXL_20220617_170644876.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At "The G" </td></tr></tbody></table></div><br />We had a full Saturday.

It is a remote position and I'm really excited about it. I accepted the job on Friday and we are discussing options now for where I will be working (e.g. rent office space, build office space in our garage). I don't start until August 5 so there will be some time of transition at Weave. It has been a bit of a roller coaster week with that but we are feeling excited about it! <br /><br /><b>June 12, 2022</b></div>This week Addie and Hinckley started some art classes at a neighbor's house and really enjoyed that! They learned to simplify images and objects to their basic shapes and then add detail later. They also did some fun painting projects. Kassie worked with them this week on doing some paper mache too, and Addie and Greyson made ice cream cones and Hinckley made three Jelly Fish that he has hung from his ceiling. Pretty fun summer activity! They also did the Draper Bridge hike that Kassie and I had done on a date the previous week. They all made it up and back again without complaining.

The guy said that it was one of the hardest jobs he’s done. Not only were the cracks so huge in the floor, but the concrete was the softest he’d seen - they got about 5 bags full of concrete dust out of there. It looks so good! And so different. It was a lot of work to empty the garage, sand, and putty the walls, and then put it all back again (yay for food storage! haha) but we are feeling really happy about it.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilbhUx2jCzvYGtwnd785PsoMqMimTI3pguUm_JnfY6Ar6A4EavlvOo6aUtPBaBg-HUa8601183xviRS217pFP25hS1Li0yszVdOWn2T9kuZMsH-AfFg5I_kQk5nRHsS16YC3XIFy_mk9OHXVSNq91ZTxJvgyTicfPZjmbsv6lu8vDXB4dW6YZ4hw/s4032/PXL_20220608_024918551.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilbhUx2jCzvYGtwnd785PsoMqMimTI3pguUm_JnfY6Ar6A4EavlvOo6aUtPBaBg-HUa8601183xviRS217pFP25hS1Li0yszVdOWn2T9kuZMsH-AfFg5I_kQk5nRHsS16YC3XIFy_mk9OHXVSNq91ZTxJvgyTicfPZjmbsv6lu8vDXB4dW6YZ4hw/s320/PXL_20220608_024918551.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Before - full garage</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNjyta6s9Xp4XjmPzKrEvSLAM7L_d2sMq5mmNy3r9XZBBPZ7CQ4jcxDQtqxAzobhjxvzXTXmKiJ55-WbGgv7vcpUytz7K9w73zRs_C0UsSjuhFVtqpuN68U0q7ww6B7FyJz0uu1KaU4Hp8Q3Zmq02q1Ksl7z9XqHbwxp69A1e4P7uDNut-tLy32g/s4032/PXL_20220608_024930628.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNjyta6s9Xp4XjmPzKrEvSLAM7L_d2sMq5mmNy3r9XZBBPZ7CQ4jcxDQtqxAzobhjxvzXTXmKiJ55-WbGgv7vcpUytz7K9w73zRs_C0UsSjuhFVtqpuN68U0q7ww6B7FyJz0uu1KaU4Hp8Q3Zmq02q1Ksl7z9XqHbwxp69A1e4P7uDNut-tLy32g/s320/PXL_20220608_024930628.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Before - deep shot</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-BujPM2A8jtoYbac1NZZLjprPYmXCqPJlD-GJ_st6TElCWpObKqtQa2Rh4nRaXDWTLrI4XCIYw1gQR3013hJqP2z8JbkWSb88FvBIvy7kG3Wvlm6bi295bLYzWCbxB5sHS1067C1QK4UtCgC-AjJE4wvO2AAsiU8UOOQRSk44Xaql9Ic2UNL_Bg/s4032/PXL_20220610_013830932.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-BujPM2A8jtoYbac1NZZLjprPYmXCqPJlD-GJ_st6TElCWpObKqtQa2Rh4nRaXDWTLrI4XCIYw1gQR3013hJqP2z8JbkWSb88FvBIvy7kG3Wvlm6bi295bLYzWCbxB5sHS1067C1QK4UtCgC-AjJE4wvO2AAsiU8UOOQRSk44Xaql9Ic2UNL_Bg/s320/PXL_20220610_013830932.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After - full garage</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdlU5D-gT6L9YpN6Hdnb54elfdsF--4I3m3ux0Yu59lecQbO2T7rIri2xzsQr8pQ5IP34OI_EdcB-LAe7XHBjuT2BYMzy8ooN0WHaLIF51QYar-pMOYeCuULDxm4hojqLxhg0xTRcjC-DUrH2AOOlkcsKlxMt9SgwO_deBSzlkemLzhtaulzAdQ/s4032/PXL_20220610_013916680.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdlU5D-gT6L9YpN6Hdnb54elfdsF--4I3m3ux0Yu59lecQbO2T7rIri2xzsQr8pQ5IP34OI_EdcB-LAe7XHBjuT2BYMzy8ooN0WHaLIF51QYar-pMOYeCuULDxm4hojqLxhg0xTRcjC-DUrH2AOOlkcsKlxMt9SgwO_deBSzlkemLzhtaulzAdQ/s320/PXL_20220610_013916680.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After - deep shot</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hinckley had a piano recital of sorts on Saturday. It was quite different than any piano concert I’ve been to! It was outside in a pavilion in Lehi and was proceeded by a BBQ picnic. Only 3 students (counting Hinckley) showed up so I’m glad we attended. He played his song and then later went back up to play the Gravity Falls theme song which he was excited about. After we left he said, “That was fun!” which for him and our goals for music in his life is about as good as it gets.

When we go there Greyson said, “Let’s break in!” and “we are thieves”.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBVx1HSKGyHVDVejdpztBxYW3B3tqaC2VAaLQzpo9-TaJ6Vgu4Xbi3JEkbhAUOwPI7fMeo2_LGkwk_E1xYAPh3HDOrCkNn4_BPV-46FQOQ60POqyVjpY_97aokBK6J615YR8CiXXTa9Db4UiOWxXz2TIcrDv6slp3x9f4hsNiybMkbN4T_zc8KhA/s3264/PXL_20220529_155109071.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBVx1HSKGyHVDVejdpztBxYW3B3tqaC2VAaLQzpo9-TaJ6Vgu4Xbi3JEkbhAUOwPI7fMeo2_LGkwk_E1xYAPh3HDOrCkNn4_BPV-46FQOQ60POqyVjpY_97aokBK6J615YR8CiXXTa9Db4UiOWxXz2TIcrDv6slp3x9f4hsNiybMkbN4T_zc8KhA/s320/PXL_20220529_155109071.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Daddy bread</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7eyN3eeDcagdsiPXv6w9goi7CLm295mmmZzP71TmC0pS6wj65cTAWZBZxlHDscAkPMCqPplg2x34Xf8Gqp9jBM9EhpYQH7M_-dJcPfPPSd6102lFQoAtteyHA_Q3GYzgqhuvIb59hy1PeIHY6fAdSsyUBeA2RbbYIDdOEHTctky9XCNgTNDuR3Q/s4032/PXL_20220529_172201546.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7eyN3eeDcagdsiPXv6w9goi7CLm295mmmZzP71TmC0pS6wj65cTAWZBZxlHDscAkPMCqPplg2x34Xf8Gqp9jBM9EhpYQH7M_-dJcPfPPSd6102lFQoAtteyHA_Q3GYzgqhuvIb59hy1PeIHY6fAdSsyUBeA2RbbYIDdOEHTctky9XCNgTNDuR3Q/s320/PXL_20220529_172201546.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tea party</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlrKxcG0mOefHie95DgpAW3andg06y3MbWebhKKi3G4cqCvJv8leZPeoHUp3pWz_F1odiLvayl2T1JToz-z4TKKd00rEa9AD9HRdYmkeLLnvD0n4bMKHupeeBpYqTLPhCoV4-QhL0h2w3nPn5Bg-ZpsOwNavkaO0gIUMQbme7408wR9Jmax7NupQ/s4032/PXL_20220529_171937201.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlrKxcG0mOefHie95DgpAW3andg06y3MbWebhKKi3G4cqCvJv8leZPeoHUp3pWz_F1odiLvayl2T1JToz-z4TKKd00rEa9AD9HRdYmkeLLnvD0n4bMKHupeeBpYqTLPhCoV4-QhL0h2w3nPn5Bg-ZpsOwNavkaO0gIUMQbme7408wR9Jmax7NupQ/s320/PXL_20220529_171937201.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The composer writing out "Gravity Falls" theme song</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Addie drew a Duck Tales picture and was very proud of her work there.

It is both exciting and a little frightening as we try to determine if this is the right time and thing to be doing right now.<br /><br />We had a really fun camping trip at the end of this week up at Nunn’s park in Provo Canyon. The weather was perfect. Thursday after we set up camp we walked up to Bridal Veil Falls and the two youngers played in the water while Hinckley and I hiked up to the falls itself. It was beautiful! We enjoyed splashing our faces with the ice-cold water and looking at the view all around. Everything is so green thanks to the late rain and snowfall. After that, we drove up to Squaw Peak and when we got to the top there were a bunch of paragliders preparing to take off! So we watched them fly off the mountain and ride the air currents up far above us.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcLRcHykOC4wVDUM6tj3DlZinLvLOfjsiDDpV0zAycCFcQmc-a_p-cXMHMD4ouEOewUUV1J-Q0GTzlTjnSaAzqScGtangHHGtAK2G3pf_XqBxyuoFvnnphXEW-54AO9wawjsG78aAWJW5_j6C17j6laWBSaGl73hcq15MYDordJ4bFXBO4lrSHgA/s4032/PXL_20220602_222213696.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcLRcHykOC4wVDUM6tj3DlZinLvLOfjsiDDpV0zAycCFcQmc-a_p-cXMHMD4ouEOewUUV1J-Q0GTzlTjnSaAzqScGtangHHGtAK2G3pf_XqBxyuoFvnnphXEW-54AO9wawjsG78aAWJW5_j6C17j6laWBSaGl73hcq15MYDordJ4bFXBO4lrSHgA/s320/PXL_20220602_222213696.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie and Greyson at Bridal Viel</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguoyqpIkCAl5m4E4mKOx9aAKoyudZ4T4nK57eZ5sVURtrCJfOtsfdUh5JnBv0YVbCWqyUH-r3cYICIN0PQ0Cls1e_Lm00crON_j6lKLTQG9PbsA-tdXeuYEsYRfwjw9sjk17-LMAC5_b4Ml24uoCogmANcyl1v9JjpVSPKoMpqhKlaHKgJDK9E2Q/s3264/PXL_20220602_221207636.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguoyqpIkCAl5m4E4mKOx9aAKoyudZ4T4nK57eZ5sVURtrCJfOtsfdUh5JnBv0YVbCWqyUH-r3cYICIN0PQ0Cls1e_Lm00crON_j6lKLTQG9PbsA-tdXeuYEsYRfwjw9sjk17-LMAC5_b4Ml24uoCogmANcyl1v9JjpVSPKoMpqhKlaHKgJDK9E2Q/s320/PXL_20220602_221207636.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At the base of Bridal Viel </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJj4vSnekrTBTBAAhZoxewkD7nZHQ7Jjdr5Xi7SuxsLkcFxkLZHGmWN1iOXkGKqkW4qLjLga9TjzNEimW7v5yoeUYLqQ8PLWCIPl5hMhtQR5FA1ergcNoNq5glw4MGKRZkEQGsIKSPudc1SJSCG_gcmzvbfn0kwce49orOGz8wBBqmAObCV2qHCw/s4032/PXL_20220602_232204438.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJj4vSnekrTBTBAAhZoxewkD7nZHQ7Jjdr5Xi7SuxsLkcFxkLZHGmWN1iOXkGKqkW4qLjLga9TjzNEimW7v5yoeUYLqQ8PLWCIPl5hMhtQR5FA1ergcNoNq5glw4MGKRZkEQGsIKSPudc1SJSCG_gcmzvbfn0kwce49orOGz8wBBqmAObCV2qHCw/w400-h300/PXL_20220602_232204438.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Squaw Peak view</td></tr></tbody></table><p>We roasted hotdogs and ate gourmet Sm’ores with various candy bars, then got in the tent and played a Spot it type game.

Exploring the river's edge, a small playground, and the underbrush. Addie and Greyson were very cute together, walking around with their arms around one another as they played “Duck Tales”. Hinckley read an entire book on the short trip. After breaking camp, we drove up the Alpine Loop and enjoyed the beautiful views. They were curious about all the aspen trees and the “spooky haunted forest”. We arrived at a great time to get on the Timp Cave trail.<br /><br />The hike up the trail and into the cave was wonderful. They all made it and enjoyed looking at the various rocks and plants and amazing views of AF canyon. In the Cave Hinckley kept pointing out things to Greyson about the Grinch (e.g. there is where the Grinch takes his bath!) and Addie was patting his head and telling him that the Grinch was saying “hi”. Coming down there were a few moments we didn’t think Greyson would make it, but the promise of McDonalds and many imaginative rounds of “Would you rather” got him down all on his own.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRh9vuf4oEGLDJpssltp6EMiPT_MY5dYAfChUoV2EhpmKHdKhocw2ReMwRf1GNtVwlXvV9nGfrwqcYMhWVWvm-mmFb-7DqakyX14ZWf0BPFNEWxc2tU4gGXY0IPLWd8TXDlv4ldJq4BxhGr1ZFQZpYMCfsgV0qJg0P_XyKSbwYpqjcwCK76xiwtA/s4032/PXL_20220603_165602964.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRh9vuf4oEGLDJpssltp6EMiPT_MY5dYAfChUoV2EhpmKHdKhocw2ReMwRf1GNtVwlXvV9nGfrwqcYMhWVWvm-mmFb-7DqakyX14ZWf0BPFNEWxc2tU4gGXY0IPLWd8TXDlv4ldJq4BxhGr1ZFQZpYMCfsgV0qJg0P_XyKSbwYpqjcwCK76xiwtA/s320/PXL_20220603_165602964.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Getting ready to hike</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZd7XcGP-i2j9H_2U-MkF8_4_ffYw0ubsQ7CF8nbcfpLFu69EFw313MpVouIpi5Vj8sbiwH9EUXeSqvyGo6VBnDdeztVZ4xRhsYbUUIDwt-rKmxWKoNOa4PQWx3oOW-fGfRBS6KRmR2OKlxHVklb9QXNR3JyVuAYoW27KBsZxCFbDwWD3GMb5Glw/s4032/PXL_20220603_180323564.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZd7XcGP-i2j9H_2U-MkF8_4_ffYw0ubsQ7CF8nbcfpLFu69EFw313MpVouIpi5Vj8sbiwH9EUXeSqvyGo6VBnDdeztVZ4xRhsYbUUIDwt-rKmxWKoNOa4PQWx3oOW-fGfRBS6KRmR2OKlxHVklb9QXNR3JyVuAYoW27KBsZxCFbDwWD3GMb5Glw/w400-h300/PXL_20220603_180323564.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At the the cave's entrance</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRl2p8D2myVn_xDHgMmaxhK4s4SalLbEoVL4x9wfMxwSIYsb67eYVfvsHO8zd3lO8_whZ_XtZJDlfLEi6Vvjc7GBVxCM8lv5EIfNUnk3bjdU5MicKTmPo0q44QYcAzHYsRp7aTX4BwaUUERv05-8TA03Dnj2P3i-gaXUyC7Dchnx_L-OcJ53eK5Q/s2048/PXL_20220603_201550660_exported_966_1654287362947.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRl2p8D2myVn_xDHgMmaxhK4s4SalLbEoVL4x9wfMxwSIYsb67eYVfvsHO8zd3lO8_whZ_XtZJDlfLEi6Vvjc7GBVxCM8lv5EIfNUnk3bjdU5MicKTmPo0q44QYcAzHYsRp7aTX4BwaUUERv05-8TA03Dnj2P3i-gaXUyC7Dchnx_L-OcJ53eK5Q/s320/PXL_20220603_201550660_exported_966_1654287362947.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Taking one of our many rests on the way down </td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><br />After our trip, I did a ton of work emptying the garage of things and preparing for the epoxy/painting job that will happen this week. On Saturday Kassie and Addie went to Fat Cats on a date. Between mowing the lawn and working on the garage I played a round or two of baseball with the boys in the backyard which was fun. Kassie and I enjoyed a fun date hiking up to a bridge in Draper, then getting food at Even Stevens Sandwich shop, and going to a vegan bakery that was really good.

Greyson had his “preschool graduation” on Tuesday which Kassie said was really cute. He won the "snake award" because he is always stretching his mind. When reading a spotlight about him his teacher reported, "When Greyson grows up he wants to be the guy who crawls in vents so he can find mice and mouses." They sang songs and did other cute things. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisZh9fDzmswMOMb12y3S_Z4H9O6Rgpc2gYi82DotWZ-yDMUFYo3M7W3VsG2SG6LwMPbLqUHPWH0Ik_pN_6S6hEsAemJChV_-JyAqj_3glvdnxf2kYYumwbvOrt6-ERK213xDHuo4znWp6XYjxG1_V2naGuFRiY4kaKhXPiSOHCQq4YR7-0BJS5Vg/s4032/PXL_20220523_161359455.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisZh9fDzmswMOMb12y3S_Z4H9O6Rgpc2gYi82DotWZ-yDMUFYo3M7W3VsG2SG6LwMPbLqUHPWH0Ik_pN_6S6hEsAemJChV_-JyAqj_3glvdnxf2kYYumwbvOrt6-ERK213xDHuo4znWp6XYjxG1_V2naGuFRiY4kaKhXPiSOHCQq4YR7-0BJS5Vg/w300-h400/PXL_20220523_161359455.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson and Ms. Julie @ PreK Graduation</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Wednesday was the Dry Creek Elementary end-of-year dance festival where each grade did a little dance.

Hinckley has big ideas to build a “house” by paving wood slats with mud. He says he feels “manly” out there working on his pit and wonders if he will be the first kid ever to build a house. It is pretty cute. He is obsessed with the idea, and we went to Lowe’s and found a stack of some free wood from their junk pile that he can use which he was pretty excited about. He kept saying, “This place does NOT disappoint!”<br /><br />The kids were very excited to have a sleepover in Hinckley's room Friday night. In the morning we had treat cold cereal and old cartoons. They really got a kick out of the Roadrunner/Cayote cartoons and also wanted to watch some Casper and Donald Duck. Greyson and I went on a hike to Bettle Creek Falls for our date and then ate a treat at Avenue Bakery. He was very cute the whole time on the hike, pointing at various cliffs and peaks and asking about them. He wondered if the Grinch lived there, or if the Cave of Wonders was over here. He found some rocks he loved and was also eager to pose for pictures. It was a beautiful hike with all the greenery out and wildflowers blooming. We got back to the car right when it started to rain a bit so that was good timing.

She got stepped on by another girl’s cleats at her Thursday night game but after a few tears, she was able to get back on the field and keep playing which I was really excited about. She has been writing many cute and sweet notes to her friends and family members lately and it is fun to be able to communicate with her that way. She loves setting out her clothes the night before school to make a "little girl" out of them. She is also excited about the prayer pillow Kassie made for her to use for morning prayer reminders and covered it with cute pictures. We had a fun date going to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point for the baby animal's birthday celebration. She oohed and awed at the baby goats and bunnies, rode on “Big Mama” the pony, and we both enjoyed some chocolate cake without forks.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGhJSQDf3iIjGgJaqRKczN0Yu7k4Gsqifoi8cR4B7qvO27EtEXpLQ26O4AUhZyDP_KsGxk90Lmwlt4QI6maO2GWaLLylPFbEvdshaBqcg21vzA6qM28zKDdXxP3YupVdqDOlyHjqooY0_ceeJRzKjHLh4qvXFPSaVCXurUGYveNSiL1EOyeuZjw/s3264/PXL_20220514_193627486.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGhJSQDf3iIjGgJaqRKczN0Yu7k4Gsqifoi8cR4B7qvO27EtEXpLQ26O4AUhZyDP_KsGxk90Lmwlt4QI6maO2GWaLLylPFbEvdshaBqcg21vzA6qM28zKDdXxP3YupVdqDOlyHjqooY0_ceeJRzKjHLh4qvXFPSaVCXurUGYveNSiL1EOyeuZjw/s320/PXL_20220514_193627486.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie Dad date with Farm Country creatures</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii7hW7OfGFOVO8bCaktveNJ-0iPV1RVS-77DfRgcguaTa-LSs0M4yihvoixHKR5e0U7kBZCZP6yjePxgDlGFMYx8InKKswJRAtpyvE0Vc2ed-nya9aJiihDWGoTGKNiViMg7nQ0Q6b5pm0_-yA23GFclDNVOaHAUvGlnOE-Jkp8wKsbyneHYCb8Q/s4032/PXL_20220514_200629921.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii7hW7OfGFOVO8bCaktveNJ-0iPV1RVS-77DfRgcguaTa-LSs0M4yihvoixHKR5e0U7kBZCZP6yjePxgDlGFMYx8InKKswJRAtpyvE0Vc2ed-nya9aJiihDWGoTGKNiViMg7nQ0Q6b5pm0_-yA23GFclDNVOaHAUvGlnOE-Jkp8wKsbyneHYCb8Q/s320/PXL_20220514_200629921.MP.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie on Big Mama</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSQ68q_mPCh7fPMM09BPs0JO2VDbQUuOy5hXIhpELhdN_jnLCNRQlgMDrzzrWjpYfVU0qDTvebJPYpirlGIVjyVLFs1_nhNoy7BpqR5vd7Z1NAQMZxj_2-pypP-DrFUgcflJCkZTT30OxH26KSh70krfv0lpzop4sodyLocQXLrFYCTI0_1DYqBQ/s4032/PXL_20220514_175735460.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSQ68q_mPCh7fPMM09BPs0JO2VDbQUuOy5hXIhpELhdN_jnLCNRQlgMDrzzrWjpYfVU0qDTvebJPYpirlGIVjyVLFs1_nhNoy7BpqR5vd7Z1NAQMZxj_2-pypP-DrFUgcflJCkZTT30OxH26KSh70krfv0lpzop4sodyLocQXLrFYCTI0_1DYqBQ/w400-h300/PXL_20220514_175735460.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Pink Panthers</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhySHL0WAy_ogB6WV0Dgv1oEIIxkBKxzz07VXnioZ6sLsFkgTTG_PCBmphepR7jjlkaHkeaYiXPUT2EmBXflxk7NZSDeiqNwIBTsQZhqbhlPmUdx1B39GM0PTCmOr1gT24rFUprJAx7OU0VtPxXArmcbndhL9NEUxF4uPG3Xk0TtVsfAsTuYmLiIg/s4032/PXL_20220514_172232613.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhySHL0WAy_ogB6WV0Dgv1oEIIxkBKxzz07VXnioZ6sLsFkgTTG_PCBmphepR7jjlkaHkeaYiXPUT2EmBXflxk7NZSDeiqNwIBTsQZhqbhlPmUdx1B39GM0PTCmOr1gT24rFUprJAx7OU0VtPxXArmcbndhL9NEUxF4uPG3Xk0TtVsfAsTuYmLiIg/s320/PXL_20220514_172232613.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Half time</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hinckley continues to work on drawing pictures and stories in his DIY Gravity Falls journals that he made patterned after the official Journal Number 3 from the TV show. He loves drawing creepy crazy monsters and things and has looped in some friends at school to help him come up with even more original ideas (I liked my idea of carpet piranas). He enjoyed Tennis lessons on Saturday, exultant after winning a small forehand/backhand game with his class. He is learning patience, kindness, and other relational skills - sometimes the hard way as we see from fairly regular emails from his teacher. He continues reading a ton and is excited about the summer. He had a blast with Greyson and Kassie on Saturday exploring random deer trails in the underbrush near Utah Lake yesterday and didn't notice how Greyson was following his every action (picking up a stick, throwing it off to the side, etc.).</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRIaBzmSineH86HOjEv1EwirU_UOdLBBYBs9QDYd8u3t8z7Q0BhSHyfh2iWQaapLkZmYiWVL7B6icbDt_yLwM6wt0WYwik7KKBf_-K5nj-FKbFFd443zjytca-Vgt5Sveswykk_C9YVgWuLrZUuW38YdUuawq4W4hCg35jlxc_MRjrLvR40zOB4g/s4032/PXL_20220512_130905505.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRIaBzmSineH86HOjEv1EwirU_UOdLBBYBs9QDYd8u3t8z7Q0BhSHyfh2iWQaapLkZmYiWVL7B6icbDt_yLwM6wt0WYwik7KKBf_-K5nj-FKbFFd443zjytca-Vgt5Sveswykk_C9YVgWuLrZUuW38YdUuawq4W4hCg35jlxc_MRjrLvR40zOB4g/s320/PXL_20220512_130905505.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Morning Hairdo </td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Greyson and Kassie explored some potential preschool and daycare options as we consider school programs Kassie is considering. Greyson loves visiting these places and always has a lot to say about them. He has been fostering his "evil" streak lately by peeing in random places (his closet, the garage, outside...). We hope this is a phase that passes quickly. I prefer less expensive "evil plans", like yesterday when we went to a kindergarten playground no one was on. He thought that was pretty cool and a very important secret. He has so much energy and idolizes his siblings. He loves doing whatever his brother or sister tells him to do, and wants to be just like them! <br /><br />I worked on a talk that I will give in Sacrament meeting today about thoughts, beliefs, and truth. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1--wBDRoxKHzbS95dH96M35rTgmcyB257-j0z6JUTrrE/edit?usp=sharing">Check it out here</a> if you'd like! In there I mention that I'm meeting with a therapist which some of you may already be aware of. It has been helpful to have someone to talk through things who isn't attached to my everyday life and circumstances. I am doing well and am grateful for the many blessings our family enjoys. <div><b><br /></b></div><b>May 8, 2022</b><br /><br />We had a full fun week and hope all had great celebrations today for the wonderful mothers. The kids adjusted pretty well going back to school after the fun trip the week before.

We drove down on Monday and checked into our hotel with Kassie's parents. Hinckley had eaten so much junk food that he ended up throwing up his fiery Cheetos around midnight that night...but luckily was feeling better the next day. It was a magical trip and everyone had a wonderful time on the variety of rides and such. Addie was in heaven getting autographs from princesses and the boys enjoyed the thrill rides. There are some new Star Wars rides that are quite incredible. They also had a ton of fun swimming in the hotel pool and all thought the shuttle to the park was a pretty great "ride" as well. We drove home Friday and got back to regular life this weekend with Saturday chores, Addie’s soccer game, Hinckley’s tennis, and ....Greyson peeing on the floor behind the couch. I also spent a good amount of time moving Greyson’s bed into the office and taking down my office so now it is his room. Sort of sad as I really loved that space. I hope this will be good for all the kids moving forward and that they can get along and have more peace in our home with room situations. I'll be working at the Weave office most of the time moving forward.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKGgNO5SO0aEX_dSwKZQ2UtPYosFeRvQRfq7BN_kUgkR7Z-5sceYgekNgEEB94YadL9hmrZZlIw4zCcQRsKLR5g_zii8Q8oFxnl7J8rKspH-DGhBA7Y6FSolna4iEbm90o7RpGmyjOJlEBk8hiXKloHvmoe4qfT8VnsKDojEJmuQwLpJMZFtJHw/s4032/PXL_20220426_144230611.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

He was jumping for joy at it all, enthralled by the sheer wonder and magic of each ride. He was able to ride in the “driver's seat” for Indiana Jones and screamed/laughed the whole time.</li><li>Greyson, Addie, Kas, and her parents had a blast with other rides that morning but for Greyson, the highlight was the haunted house and for Addie, it was seeing princesses with Grandma (after waiting for over an hour). She was in heaven.</li><li>On day 2, Greyson and Kas came with me and Hinckley to Space Mountain and we got on the first coaster of the entire day! Greyson was quite amazed by it all and was shaking with emotion by the end. We all went on the Matterhorn as well which was super fun though G was pretty afraid of the Yeti guy.</li><li>I had some time with Addie and took her on “It’s a Small World” and she was amazed by it and loved it so much. I had taken H on that earlier in the day and it was fun to see how different that ride was for both of them. Addie kept commenting on how cute everything was and it was pure magic for her.</li><li>On day 2 we tried coming home earlier to give the kids time to rest. After playing in the pool for a very long time (they played “Gravity Falls”) I convinced them to lay down for a podcast and Addie and Greyson slept for a very long time! I ended up bringing them to the Park after Kas and H and the Burnsides had already gone there. We sat and watched some classic Mickey Mouse cartoons for a while and then split up so I could go with Hinckley on the Rise of the Resistance ride while Addie waited for the parade with Greyson. That was incredible! Hinckley was in such a bad mood though about wanting a lightsaber, that when we came back to Main street and we saw the parade going by in the dark, he pined that even the Fairy Godmother had a lightsaber! Haha. Greyson ignored the parade and spent most the evening “sploring” a tree and some large leaves. Addie was obsessed with the magic of the parade.</li><li>After some confusing traffic jams of people post parade, we caught about 1.5 minutes of the Encanto light show and I put Greyson on my shoulders and hefted up Hinckley who was singing at the top of his lungs. That one moment made the day “the best day ever”. We did the Tea Cups before making our way out of the park as the Mickey and Friends light show started on the main street. Addie exclaimed, “I love all this music! It makes me want to just get in my cozy bed!”</li><li>Our final day started out rough for Addie, Greyson, Naomi, and I as we went to Cars Land along with a massive group of other people. We finally did the ride which was fun, but they were so exhausted from that line. Hinckley, Kassie, and John did 11 rides in about 2 hours! We recovered though and I took Addie on the Ferris wheel and then Soarin’ over the World which she LOVED. We saw Mickey Mouse and got his autograph.</li><li>I got to go with Hinckley on the Incredicoaster a couple of times which we both loved, he was over the moon about that and couldn’t stop talking about it. We had a blast. Then I took him and Greyson on the Grizzly Falls run and we all got pretty wet. Greyson was holding on for dear life and then began shouting words in his “mignons” language (gibberish) as we went down the huge falls. The people on the ride with us were laughing so hard, the teenage girl seemed to almost lose her breath. The three of us also waited in a very long line for the Web Slingers ride and Greyson was so excited to see Spiderman. Right as we came out of the ride, Spiderman walked by us and gave the boys a high five - much like Chewbacca did for Hinckley when we came out of the incredible Rise of Resistance the night before.</li></ul><br />There was so much in all of it that can’t be captured. Even the hotel (and breakfasts with cartoons) and the shuttle bus were highlights to the kids. Greyson proclaimed that the shuttle was one of his favorite rides. It was so nice to have Grandma and Grandad there which facilitated us splitting up and doing things that each kid was most interested in. <p><b>April 24, 2022</b></p>Spring is in full bloom here in Lehi. We went to the Tulip Festival for a very fast visit as there was a strong wind. I got to go to “Books and Buddies” at Hinckley’s classroom which meant we read together for about 30 minutes. It was really fun to see his class and read with him and his Blobbies. Also this week Addie and I went to Baskin Robbins so she could use her coupon that she got in one of her Easter eggs. She was pretty happy about that! And Greyson turned in early, Kassie said, because he was “bored”. Earlier in the day he got into some Kool-Aid powder and apparently made a huge mess. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I met the family and Kassie and Greyson for lunch at a Thai place in Lehi to celebrate on Friday. Greyson did pretty well for his first sit-down restaurant experience! On Saturday I played with Greyson on some playgrounds and on a soccer field during Addie’s soccer game while the rest of the family watched Addie play. Hinckley went to a friend’s birthday party where they all brought nerf guns and the party hosts supplied the ammo. He had a blast.

He begins by describing our individualistic society and the impossibilities we've pushed one another into and I find myself feeling deeply connected to the ideas he is talking about. I'm excited to finish it on our trip this week.<div><br /><p><b>April 17, 2022</b></p>Earlier this week I went to Zupas after work to get a slice of cheesecake for a guy I minister to (birthday). I decided to get some treats for our family too. Well, the next morning Kassie sent me a picture with the caption that Greyson had something to tell me. It was a slice of mangled cheesecake on a plate, under the table. He had asked Kassie if he could “eat something from the fridge” and when she had agreed he raided the cheesecake! So he used some of his money to buy another and it all worked out. He clearly knew it was wrong given he ate it under the table. We woke up to snow on the ground later in the week, and it has been quite cold and icy. I’m glad we waited till this weekend to turn on the water and prep the garden. Greyson went out to play in the snow which he was pretty excited about. He has been increasingly difficult to monitor and is always getting into things. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZ7LyAJ13c33cT8Hn2EOoyIX6gJOkfSb7OhPUq_9yWguRuvmjRAvbKe8l2ObjJphv5dE4rO4okTUm2hOZSRd1z4-kCARwNuhp6cp_UF2f-DagWR3aCz1aZKb7NPwlvHPaqxkkK7S7T3yns-FaNOgATyOisGPQ2ttMPSuTMfQWdL7hTxrk7qcNYA/s4032/PXL_20220412_154906644.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZ7LyAJ13c33cT8Hn2EOoyIX6gJOkfSb7OhPUq_9yWguRuvmjRAvbKe8l2ObjJphv5dE4rO4okTUm2hOZSRd1z4-kCARwNuhp6cp_UF2f-DagWR3aCz1aZKb7NPwlvHPaqxkkK7S7T3yns-FaNOgATyOisGPQ2ttMPSuTMfQWdL7hTxrk7qcNYA/s320/PXL_20220412_154906644.jpeg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mangled cheesecake evidence</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hinckley had a hard time this week since he has a sub at school the whole week. It is a reminder of how amazing his teacher has been for him this year with things like letting him stand at his desk rather than sit the whole time and so forth. One evening he asked me, “I just want something to think about.” He complained about being so bored at school and at home. I don’t know what that means or how to help! He did like the idea of doing a book report about a book he has been reading called The Greenglass House which was recommended by a member of my team at work. So maybe he'll do that.<br /><br />I got to go with Addie to music class and she got it in her head that she wants to be an actress and was getting very excited about that idea as we drove to music. She was really cute in class and kept giving me small hugs and smiles throughout. Addie started soccer this week and I took her to her first game where she met her teammates and had lots of fun running after the ball. In one instance the other team scored and a girl on that team cheered and accidentally caught Addie’s face with her hand when doing so - which created a bit of a moment.

I checked out the sprinklers and all looks to be ok this year…! Which I am very grateful for. Also, I finished re-reading all the Harry Potter books, and that feels good. Those books are incredible. <br /><p><b>April 10, 2022</b></p><br />This week was Spring Break for the kids. Because we will be going out of town in a couple weeks we stayed home and Kassie worked hard to keep the kids busy throughout the week. They went to the library, swam at the Provo Rec Center, Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point, and more. On Monday we watched the live-action Aladdin which we all really enjoyed. Addie kept asking me questions about whether certain things were real or not as well as logistical questions such as “How did they get to the desert?” and “How did they get back to the city?” She was very curious and also excited that she wasn’t too scared. During the cave of wonders scene, Greyson exclaimed “This is the kind of scary movies I like!”<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Later when he came for breakfast we asked him about it and he said he peed….! And sure enough, when we opened the curtains there on the wood steps was the evidence. What the heck? Apparently, Kassie was in the downstairs bathroom and he didn’t want to go back upstairs. Ugh. I led my team at work in our quarterly planning session this week. Kassie and the kids came to visit and were able to meet the team in person which was fun for everyone I think.

Well you win some and you lose some and I wish I’d have been more sensitive to that after the opening scene and just changed the movie on the spot. Now we get to recall Nazi faces melting :/<br /><br />We had a full Saturday. After chores and media, I took the kids down to Provo to watch the BYU wind symphony do a family concert. It was incredible! They had a variety of pieces and ways to engage the kids throughout and all three kids sat quietly and watched throughout the program which was nothing short of a miracle.

They really enjoyed that! We came home in time to drag Hinckley to tennis lessons. I took him this time which was a first for me and in between chapters of Harry Potter 7 I watched him run around and swing at the ball which was fun. Kassie and I had a date afterward and went to a Mexican place in Orem, walked through the Dino museum in Thanksgiving Point, and then watched The Lost City in the theaters. It was a fun date and I’m excited about nicer weather so we can do more outside things. Mom came and watched the kids and they seemed to have a good time.<br /><br />There are still many unhappy moments with the room situation (Greyson has now been in Addie's room for the last two weeks). Addie and Hinckley had a "sleepover" this week which they were both excited about.

But we got it done and it feels good to have that all wrapped up. Greyson enjoyed climbing on the pile of rocks and only hurt himself once. Hinckley upon seeing the rock put down said, "This is prime!" and he immediately went over to the area we agreed not to fill in with rock so he could keep digging his big pit.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-9rzMcR0X7DGMwqelvMklf3HXcAvas6R86M-9VSMRN1D_uX2ti2QwEk1MoGFugZDjrpNAy9A05TdB2SYjfgQTPLvwmJYvE7DKlFfmZlnH602Cop0JHgmeO9bY6ddDuqvx4aRAn6Z6OkqfQCql5Lik-SmucAowHZ4roQwoyTeNmm2ijdHYAzrEAw/s4032/PXL_20220401_144226765.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-9rzMcR0X7DGMwqelvMklf3HXcAvas6R86M-9VSMRN1D_uX2ti2QwEk1MoGFugZDjrpNAy9A05TdB2SYjfgQTPLvwmJYvE7DKlFfmZlnH602Cop0JHgmeO9bY6ddDuqvx4aRAn6Z6OkqfQCql5Lik-SmucAowHZ4roQwoyTeNmm2ijdHYAzrEAw/s320/PXL_20220401_144226765.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Before <br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi32B_HgG4oRzwDWTnK3VxS0jT5sKJFwTE7AHXepZvTNBVRr-E1nP6fKBhFHdIJMAoFeFH4aGsfI6vt672QkYFd_kLpEPIoLxUHCzOV0Dx6TQRE1d-pmC5vNmN6gksCJA106Gk9J2sg0UYBj3lSn4NjsOrx2aoP8kc55xdDvgesPOBsl-db5pAsnA/s4032/PXL_20220401_200653270.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi32B_HgG4oRzwDWTnK3VxS0jT5sKJFwTE7AHXepZvTNBVRr-E1nP6fKBhFHdIJMAoFeFH4aGsfI6vt672QkYFd_kLpEPIoLxUHCzOV0Dx6TQRE1d-pmC5vNmN6gksCJA106Gk9J2sg0UYBj3lSn4NjsOrx2aoP8kc55xdDvgesPOBsl-db5pAsnA/s320/PXL_20220401_200653270.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">After</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>This week there was a lot of playing outside.

Also this week Kassie opened up some boxes of Hinckley's old clothes for Greyson and he was in heaven. I've never seen a kid so excited about getting new hand-me-down clothes including Pokemon boxers.

However, by Thursday we were all able to go to the art and music showcase at the elementary school. We went to the school to see some of Addie and Hinckley’s artwork. They did a musical performance as well and we go to do a few other arts and craft sort of things.

The kids did a bunch of chalk on the front driveway as well. It was a warm Saturday and we spent lots of time outside. Addie and I went on a date this morning, hiking up to Battle Creek Falls in Pleasant Grove and then getting some frozen yogurt afterward. It was so nice to be outside and to feel the sun on our faces. Hinckley enjoyed his tennis lessons and seems to be doing well there. There was a birthday party for a girl in the neighborhood at the park near the house and they had some bounce houses set up which everyone was really excited about.

They seemed to really enjoy it (especially the dessert pizzas and chocolate pies) and I enjoyed visiting with a few of the other couples there. Kassie has been increasingly sick and was unable to attend. It was rough waking the kids up this week after the daylight savings change. When I come for Addie she often starts moaning “Noooo!” and puts up a fight to get out. It helps when she puts out clothes the night before and I can act like I’m the “little girl” on the floor waving at her. Greyson usually pops out right away and is a bit sweaty from being totally covered by his sheets and blankets. Hinckley often struggles to get out and I have to tickle him or make up imaginary scenarios (e.g. Russian doctors preparing to do surgery) to get him up. On Saturdays and Sundays they often all come down close to 7 (the time I usually wake them up on school days)…what the heck? We had a fun St. Patrick’s day and the kids all woke up in a great mood as they were excited to see the Leprechaun string trail and the book and coins along the way. No one tried the green eggs though. Late Saturday afternoon I took Hinckley and Addie to the Hale Center Theater in Sandy where they met up with Mom and Dad and the Kays to watch Treasure Island. When they returned they raved about how great it was! I’m glad they had such a positive experience with watching a play. When they were at the play I went to the park with Greyson and pushed him on the swing for a long time. We did the third garden box dirt on Saturday as well and got that all filled and ready. Now we just need to do the rocks around the boxes. We are still not committed fully to the xeriscaping of the parking stripes but would really like to do it.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhM3UsHwDW7K-XU_fqaOZzwF8rQOS8OAD1yqFth8l0Ufby3MqLDJDImqp6oInkSnqwea2x1uWulO8mKvdmIucP-vJI7Wpv5uJ5N7QvFnS_i0POPDWNXR9Aen-JL-0XwMpapKPNpo-UOPOxrc9darNaTYiItPBu1QzmvKsHUd0rJ3MKEPEbQXv8SQ/s4032/PXL_20220315_002114193.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhM3UsHwDW7K-XU_fqaOZzwF8rQOS8OAD1yqFth8l0Ufby3MqLDJDImqp6oInkSnqwea2x1uWulO8mKvdmIucP-vJI7Wpv5uJ5N7QvFnS_i0POPDWNXR9Aen-JL-0XwMpapKPNpo-UOPOxrc9darNaTYiItPBu1QzmvKsHUd0rJ3MKEPEbQXv8SQ/s320/PXL_20220315_002114193.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson stuffing pie</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-PjcD0pSg-tDSU_EPKvs3bOmP3Y9gmbkHTuQ-4MyzBaaSTi2bVrZw4EktD1v3TG_CY3jbXVTNOp2HA6biPDNUwVGIfhAXYHm8uSdWwSjewE8HwVZYNo-BWRHdfTbBev_S3NB_Ma7_uAmXQLdhICMhL1I_xSUhrR8wu0GHjBkMW_w1HfshoFDICQ/s4032/PXL_20220317_130559603.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-PjcD0pSg-tDSU_EPKvs3bOmP3Y9gmbkHTuQ-4MyzBaaSTi2bVrZw4EktD1v3TG_CY3jbXVTNOp2HA6biPDNUwVGIfhAXYHm8uSdWwSjewE8HwVZYNo-BWRHdfTbBev_S3NB_Ma7_uAmXQLdhICMhL1I_xSUhrR8wu0GHjBkMW_w1HfshoFDICQ/s320/PXL_20220317_130559603.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley's glue bead mountain creation that leaks glue</td></tr></tbody></table></div><br />In listening to the book The Moment of Lift by Melinda Gates I feel deeply grateful for the life I have and the women in my life. It is astounding the fortunate circumstances that I grew up in and have now compared to the rest of the world and the rest of time. I’m grateful to work for a company that strives to treat people right and to be in a church and a neighborhood with wonderful people who want to help improve the world. <br /><br />Hinckley finished the Harry Potter books today and really enjoyed that. Early in the week, he was pushing to have a family council so he could convince us that he should get an hour of media time every day. After that didn’t work out, he began pushing that we should give him his own room and that I should work in the Weave offices every day. He has also been interested in that Shakespeare book the leprechaun brought so that is encouraging. On Saturday Hinckley had his knowledge bowl competition at Lehi Jr. High and both Kassie and I went. It was pretty fun to watch him and his team! He answered a couple of the questions and was able to contribute. He was really into it. They won their first game, then got slain by the next two, and then tied the last game but lost in the tiebreaker. It was a good experience for him I think to engage and learn how to navigate such things. He is thinking he wants to do it again next year.</div><div><br /></div><div> <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2sPmYJDunZaDzIEb4fyQfhXtXkLcBWplIGYOO28-EYCJjB7uBHbjL2F5Uvs6wuysWa7jYKiMKhSvdIWr7uu4e_FtRaXOsGzB-MnPEusxaePzEpHFL8AWgeA5u2SWiTnMxxKkAgDkJfUWCIbXedH4QvsGRRvD2ljqX1L3KpmZQ3ow-I2WVroB-EA/s4032/PXL_20220319_155848363.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2sPmYJDunZaDzIEb4fyQfhXtXkLcBWplIGYOO28-EYCJjB7uBHbjL2F5Uvs6wuysWa7jYKiMKhSvdIWr7uu4e_FtRaXOsGzB-MnPEusxaePzEpHFL8AWgeA5u2SWiTnMxxKkAgDkJfUWCIbXedH4QvsGRRvD2ljqX1L3KpmZQ3ow-I2WVroB-EA/w400-h300/PXL_20220319_155848363.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley with his friends Henry and Declan at Knowledge Bowl</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwCaKE3L0SwONFJqFJA2bmPy4--JaPR-chWc5CCioOw7QgZO4Nsew74-nVhRv_hk28_RB-hKFXAa578crMoT4aeT7pxVoflYRFWan1onKKRKnOwW8GvZghAl-L389mrnytwryYUGmQgdojRmN0m7ihdH4UoW6noWMCjd2Bh1xyXem9MENFP7WlvQ/s4032/PXL_20220319_163059955.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwCaKE3L0SwONFJqFJA2bmPy4--JaPR-chWc5CCioOw7QgZO4Nsew74-nVhRv_hk28_RB-hKFXAa578crMoT4aeT7pxVoflYRFWan1onKKRKnOwW8GvZghAl-L389mrnytwryYUGmQgdojRmN0m7ihdH4UoW6noWMCjd2Bh1xyXem9MENFP7WlvQ/w400-h300/PXL_20220319_163059955.MP.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Preparing for the first Knowledge bowl game</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPF8Qor5K16FV_nXn8hM-JUaXe0bZeKOSox5GN3BiK46wHWhQY-mA572MCZSM0OH2yqf-K79G8Syp3Ewlu1FZXXr4VncTjTKLew8BOondJfp0dENcVk1hhlUV5LHkH98zu8tJrur_3bVczlGwx4h6mD3E3-nw4ORPw2OnJSvlHWcPGvyilEXaqGQ/s4032/PXL_20220319_155057664.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPF8Qor5K16FV_nXn8hM-JUaXe0bZeKOSox5GN3BiK46wHWhQY-mA572MCZSM0OH2yqf-K79G8Syp3Ewlu1FZXXr4VncTjTKLew8BOondJfp0dENcVk1hhlUV5LHkH98zu8tJrur_3bVczlGwx4h6mD3E3-nw4ORPw2OnJSvlHWcPGvyilEXaqGQ/w400-h300/PXL_20220319_155057664.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dry Creek Knowledge Bowl Team</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Addie started to come down with a little sickness on Friday and it ebbs and flows. We were glad she could go to the play on Saturday but hope things turn for the better than where it seems right now. She had a learning experience at school about emotion management and repentance. When she was in the bathroom she let out some emotions by using a nearby crayon in the girl's bathroom to express her feelings on the bathroom wall. The janitors thought it was a third grader due to the careful handwriting...though much of what was written was "Adelaide" in carefully crafted letters haha. She was very ashamed and scared to go back to school the next day and clean it off after her teacher reported it to Kassie and me. But she managed to face her fears and go back to school and clean it up, with the help of her friend Abby. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-fEBZYN4kZELNoOL1pGI90peFpjtbS9coalm3O3HvpAMLO0xv8Lnk18ZXp-kgomKpmj9vO2HXmrU83EF-lev1xa6bT3tP_NFUvFu3UIpvgC_oyYO2HSaMHx5Pw3q-XIScoWzYLHGEMsWxU7qIqQmPf3r6MphPOArsR3WPMI28LS2ABkiMM5MDQ/s4032/PXL_20220319_201155134.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-fEBZYN4kZELNoOL1pGI90peFpjtbS9coalm3O3HvpAMLO0xv8Lnk18ZXp-kgomKpmj9vO2HXmrU83EF-lev1xa6bT3tP_NFUvFu3UIpvgC_oyYO2HSaMHx5Pw3q-XIScoWzYLHGEMsWxU7qIqQmPf3r6MphPOArsR3WPMI28LS2ABkiMM5MDQ/s320/PXL_20220319_201155134.MP.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The baby sitter helped Addie set up the perfect "kitty nest"</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>On Wednesday I came home from the office and was met by the pleasant smell of chocolate. Greyson had recently spilled cocoa powder all over the place and made quite the mess. We all agreed that cocoa powder may actually be more destructive than glitter when it comes to cleaning up. That boy never stops. He loves pushing the chair up to the pantry to pilfer anything he can get his hands on. He even goes out in the garage and ransacked the van in search of gum or anything with sugar. We watched the <a href="https://scottsterlingsface.fandom.com/wiki/Kyle">"Kyle" Studio C skits</a> and all laughed about how much Greyson is like that character. He still loves when we play "cool music" and he can run around with a serious face on while jumping and flipping on the couch. Often it turns into "fighting" and he will come at you with fists swinging. Lots of energy and keeps us on our toes at all times.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTh9M7FHR6noPlTsrFtnR1wCcfUylus7Pyz7vwgOKmJJbx5NS4Xfot5zZNq5FseXZRkLmE9NL1IjITOgA5BcAir8lBuayVFcY8RmvUSas7_ySNN199W7YmeZL2wbNk1FkmYiMWzr2BWu_0-HPLPIa_Sur9wv4VPBUS-ma0Z0IIyQd2VRv9Vxwag/s4032/PXL_20220319_222552951.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTh9M7FHR6noPlTsrFtnR1wCcfUylus7Pyz7vwgOKmJJbx5NS4Xfot5zZNq5FseXZRkLmE9NL1IjITOgA5BcAir8lBuayVFcY8RmvUSas7_ySNN199W7YmeZL2wbNk1FkmYiMWzr2BWu_0-HPLPIa_Sur9wv4VPBUS-ma0Z0IIyQd2VRv9Vxwag/w300-h400/PXL_20220319_222552951.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Basketball boy </td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><b style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">March 13, 2022</b></div>This week we had some great winter days and some warm spring days and everyone keeps asking if it is summer yet. Last Sunday was a rough one. Addie refused to go to church and so I sat in the passenger seat and carried her. We sat in the van for about 30 minutes once at church until we finally joined everyone else. Remarkably she then went and bore her testimony. What the heck? So I followed her example and did so as well. She also threw some amazing fits throughout the week to assert her will and make it be known (last night it was all about wanting me to make another meal at dinner special for her). Addie had some fun moments too this week with some friends, drawing lots of pictures, Let's Play Music with Kassie at the parent day, and continuing learning how to read. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjVosamOM_1zNrEblLMZSgB-DyzM5ejxygBQq9cJVavYaIXoHdSSWFbz-gmMD-VGa-6QMdukypxNM-8VqRvKydejFvpymg9c9aAh9Ofha_brQISKjvKjfPETub-qPbNNPd2_X1iTIHVOobqZFAFgkoJmmnRDNOofj_Ng7A1cCZahaz1hrkW3dmew=s3264" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjVosamOM_1zNrEblLMZSgB-DyzM5ejxygBQq9cJVavYaIXoHdSSWFbz-gmMD-VGa-6QMdukypxNM-8VqRvKydejFvpymg9c9aAh9Ofha_brQISKjvKjfPETub-qPbNNPd2_X1iTIHVOobqZFAFgkoJmmnRDNOofj_Ng7A1cCZahaz1hrkW3dmew=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dad/Greyson date</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGYZdIjflH1UJ3PEen1suXgiZ7ML7a3F2iCJoDOpcuJ04cJaFlA1TXqLifz7UA4fup-wDr4GbIabQ3nSYx-qJ_JindE7tOIuMI-NrZqWP2S-eOrTDrYyoG2vx9c6qrigletnbNprIzju2or8-Rhr7_K4Vz2BpghClyJMYfSDSTcLuQf_sevkjK9A=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhGYZdIjflH1UJ3PEen1suXgiZ7ML7a3F2iCJoDOpcuJ04cJaFlA1TXqLifz7UA4fup-wDr4GbIabQ3nSYx-qJ_JindE7tOIuMI-NrZqWP2S-eOrTDrYyoG2vx9c6qrigletnbNprIzju2or8-Rhr7_K4Vz2BpghClyJMYfSDSTcLuQf_sevkjK9A=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hinckley's snow fort near our home</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>It snowed a bunch last Sunday and Hinckley went out to the park across the street where there was “more snow” and built a small fort before it all melted. He is almost done with the final Harry Potter book and is really enjoying that. His favorite thing to do these days is to create a fort somewhere in the house and read. He has big plans for the backyard this summer and has put "wood planks" on his birthday list so he can create a series of bridges in and around what will inevitably become a mud pit. Hinckley started tennis lessons on Saturday and seemed to really enjoy that!<br /><br />Saturday was a perfect spring day. We got the ground leveled and put down the new garden box alongside the two older ones, did some weeding and ground prep for the coming rocks, and just enjoyed the sunshine. Greyson and I had a date at the Hangtime jump place and then later I took him to Spring Creek Park which is one of his all-time favorites. He has so much energy and even after all that he was begging to play more things at home. He learned about electric blankets and now wants one of those for his next birthday.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>March 6, 2022</b></p>Much of this week was much warmer and started feeling like Spring. One day I went to the park with Addie and Greyson and we kicked a soccer ball around and they got very red-cheeked and tired. Greyson brought his basketball too and discovered a joyful game of “shooting” the ball into the toddler swing at the park as if it were a hoop. He cheered himself on every time he made it and it was pretty cute. Afterward, we came home and there was still some time left before dinner so we played more soccer in the backyard. Hinckley was building creations of blocks and marbles and such but decided to come to join us in the back. Addie was really getting into it and having fun, and even after H kicked the ball into her stomach on accident she was able to rally and have a good time. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiI1vlcLWWQ2_5dkRwB2GH2laC3bw4ve14c61nhGMUori9jxq-U67_zsWV4HzvGPgocij7gEnBAXcspGlICT6IZByFJ0E66W2qVHM4tjKUjbiAZjJnpmonJtYx-qr_-50UfK1HAUZeCyDW-mi6sTR5Cshq0YPD4HcKetpxZe2pieIf5JOyp7RF-qQ=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiI1vlcLWWQ2_5dkRwB2GH2laC3bw4ve14c61nhGMUori9jxq-U67_zsWV4HzvGPgocij7gEnBAXcspGlICT6IZByFJ0E66W2qVHM4tjKUjbiAZjJnpmonJtYx-qr_-50UfK1HAUZeCyDW-mi6sTR5Cshq0YPD4HcKetpxZe2pieIf5JOyp7RF-qQ=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Addie art, one of her favorite pass times</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEih2vy4FFYsJlUwrnaGE8rdpACQiHkUORIZmD-jIYLuPaqhti5CfeB6K-qJCLDKbwa7sqOHtvvSgnpzOe_nbXNM40iso_S_dio8D9STcqzS79jkcMe9eTUXJ9Ow2ONDTypVJmTsJ5_zPGUDfBoBRuLx44dJ8xm-0BV6bsborPRoci9U5zasNrO4nA=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEih2vy4FFYsJlUwrnaGE8rdpACQiHkUORIZmD-jIYLuPaqhti5CfeB6K-qJCLDKbwa7sqOHtvvSgnpzOe_nbXNM40iso_S_dio8D9STcqzS79jkcMe9eTUXJ9Ow2ONDTypVJmTsJ5_zPGUDfBoBRuLx44dJ8xm-0BV6bsborPRoci9U5zasNrO4nA=s320" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Greyson's glue art, it is never finished</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5he22pvEDkWE1uCA561PvBEzWj0z3C5hMMvXhFNV8SvJernx5-lKr6Q53qqHFh_fE-ui6gGE4_0PtWNCJwxIuXAK4L9hoq-wnPG70LQIq1VVlFFTcelSi3cALaNo0WiP_q2R8Jw50VUvmhKcA51Nzsc8l58qiR8WkgBoiSlBHTIsxiwbx8D55ZQ=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5he22pvEDkWE1uCA561PvBEzWj0z3C5hMMvXhFNV8SvJernx5-lKr6Q53qqHFh_fE-ui6gGE4_0PtWNCJwxIuXAK4L9hoq-wnPG70LQIq1VVlFFTcelSi3cALaNo0WiP_q2R8Jw50VUvmhKcA51Nzsc8l58qiR8WkgBoiSlBHTIsxiwbx8D55ZQ=s320" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Documenting the exact setup of the perfect "nest"</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hinckley and Greyson have been showering together which they both delight very much. Greyson said, “today I had three schools! Preschool, Itty-Bitty sports, and shower school!” He was very excited that he is learning how to shower with Hinckley’s help. I’m glad they can bond over something, even if it just taking a shower. Addie is quite jealous. As mentioned, Greyson started another program at the Lehi Rec center called "Itty-Bitty all ball" which he loves. They focus on a different sport each time and run around and have a blast.

I built a new garden box on the back porch and got it done just in time before a good amount of rain and some snow came down. We are hoping to get that area of our yard under control this spring. Later we watched Wall-E and the kids seemed to really enjoy that. Then we went to a park to play pickleball, go on the playground, and for Addie to ride her bike around. We all got pretty cold after 45 min or so and came home to read by the fire. Hinckley had earned a late-over with friends a while back and Saturday night was the night that it happened. Two friends came over they had a rip-roaring time eating candy and popcorn and watching the latest Hotel Transylvania movie. When they were through it was like a mini-tornado had passed by. I had to swallow a lot of my natural negativity regarding noise, staying up late, and general merry-making which was for the best. </div></div></div></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788639825518734443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692445828267763976.post-21589103260070437932022-02-27T08:33:00.000-08:002022-02-27T08:33:28.630-08:00February 2022<div><b>February 27, 2022</b></div>2/22/2022 was a memorable day. We said goodbye to Grandpa Halvorsen and took the time to reflect and share memories with our family. In the morning there was a blanket of snow over everything and a beautiful sunrise that hit Timp just right as we sat in the Mortuary home and it was wonderful. Greyson struggled a few times throughout all the services, but overall it was better than it could have been. At the viewing, it was a great opportunity to teach the kids (and Addie who was asking, “why does he look like a statue”?) about death and the separation of the body and the spirit. Hinckley did a good job being quiet and listening to the stories throughout all the services which was really good. We had a police escort across Provo which was pretty cool. At the cemetery, we participated in watching the military salute and there was a plane flyover which took my breath away as it wiggled its wings. It was a very memorable day.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEif84SjTY7cJ8kngYepdTPzdEtLHNKnq-9xudYc6NEtWVTPDbedW_30fZ1w-gH3vSh4kbQzCzavsT_urC8046m3866DEWapGcaasMsK8Valu7PrBrOPnmtLVUBMOVd9agBCHsZZ1i8dkS8a1ChLP-GuWBghYphb-nSmUYkTmgthSzERNCJOmUReyQ=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto;

It continued to snow on Tuesday morning but Kassie was able to drive down to Provo to shadow Lisa Stubbs (a Physician Assistant from the 1st ward) and get there and back without issue. She learned while shadowing that much of what PAs do is write prescriptions for drugs. That didn’t appeal to her. It was a great learning experience! <br /><br />On Saturday we watched Harry Potter 4 with Hinckley which he seemed to enjoy. He is about halfway through the 6th book and is eating it up. Greyson has really gotten into making "glue creations" where he pours glue all over things and gobs various items on top of one another. Addie is trying to continue drawing despite growing feelings of inadequacy. She made a few more cute "books" this week. On Saturday, with the help of Hinckley, I picked up some lumber to make another garden box, and then we also picked up an enameled dutch oven pot that I’m really excited to cook some sourdough bread in this weekend! We’ll see how that goes.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpNT7xCupyy2ilIFo9wFK6bTjRrt37HLCWxzK0x39URQqPIX0NJTJRGj7yssNFX5Vq7ZgTHSTxoY6pQHK_ApxZqMteZ3KMAtpnkLX4zDFz8yGrgP70Tpu5n8MRM2_2oKGjBUyF_V5cqXTaTPrzilyNfxo0XYDYB80hvkMsXGmBqrMrtfEMhpn36A=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpNT7xCupyy2ilIFo9wFK6bTjRrt37HLCWxzK0x39URQqPIX0NJTJRGj7yssNFX5Vq7ZgTHSTxoY6pQHK_ApxZqMteZ3KMAtpnkLX4zDFz8yGrgP70Tpu5n8MRM2_2oKGjBUyF_V5cqXTaTPrzilyNfxo0XYDYB80hvkMsXGmBqrMrtfEMhpn36A=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Almost ready for prayer time</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>February 20, 2022</b></div><div>This was a roller-coaster week. </div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Observing Mom and Dad get released from their mission</li><li>Addie was sick again and missed 4 days of school (including Valentine's day) and the doctor confirmed yet another ear infection.</li><li>We celebrated Kassie's 34th birthday with delicious food and time together</li><li>I was named Employee of the quarter at work when attending my first in-person company meeting since starting at Weave 2 years ago</li><li>Grandpa Halvorsen passed and we communicated the news to the kids</li></ul></div>The kids took the news about Grandpa in stride.

What a blessing to have been able to spend so many ears in and out of his orbit, and seeing his example of service and love. I feel grateful that we have been able to live here these last couple of years and see him a bit more so Hinckley and Addie will have a few memories of him.

He worked on it at school too, which has me wondering what they are having him do in school haha. A 5th grader said a rude thing to him and must have hurt (about the picture), but I am hopeful he will take it in stride as he learns that as long as you are doing something of any value there will be those who criticize you (to make a difference you have to be different!). He and Kas made a bunch of chocolate-covered strawberries to sell to the locals this weekend and he is pretty excited about all the cash he is bringing in.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div>Kas and Addie had a date on Saturday watching My Little Pony in Addie's room on a computer and doing makeup. Addie was really happy with it all and was very cute about it. This week I played "kitty" and "puppy" with Addie and Greyson a few times after work. Addie was a cat and Greyson the puppy, and I was the "owner". They enjoyed playing fetch and "sleeping" on their nests (pillows with blankets over them).

I've been doing that more regularly to take advantage of the gym and newly opened hair-cutting place. Greyson and Kassie came to visit on Friday and he was extremely excited about everything there - from the chairs to the elevator, and of course…the treats. "I want to push buttons like dad when I grow up and work in this cool place." Greyson, Hinckley, and I went to a park on Saturday and we had a lot of fun. Now that Greyson is a little older those trips are a little more enjoyable. It was fun to spin Hinckley around and around on a few things there - his body was literally perpendicular to the ground and he let go a few times and flew a few yards before crashing into the ground and laughing like a madman. <br /><br />On Saturday, Mom and Dad came to watch the kids, and Kas and I went to Death on the Nile at the theater. They did a ton of fun things while we were gone such as crafts, making treats, a quick trip to the park, building activities, and more. It was a wonderful Saturday afternoon for all!<p><b>February 6, 2022</b></p>The kids - especially Hinckley - are excited and anxious about entering the yearbook cover drawing contest again this year. Hinckley was really stressed about it earlier this week, but later he let me take him through a series of brainstorming activities that I’ve learned from Design Thinking workshops. That actually seemed to work for him and he is excited about one of his ideas! I hope that works out. He attended a fun birthday party Saturday night at the Ninja playground. He told me all about how he mixed cake and soda into "an amazing concoction". He was really excited about the "unlimited cake and ice cream". On Friday Hinckley and Addie didn’t have school today and I took the day off from work to take Hinckley up to Alta. He was a little timid at first but by lunchtime, he was going straight down as quick as he could with a huge smile on his face. We skied for over 4 hours on those two small hills they have there. It is great that have that small lift and rope tow and I think that helped H get really comfortable on his skis. Next year we may need to buckle down and pay for the actual lift tickets. He kept commenting on how much fun it was and I really enjoyed that time with him. We both got pretty burned. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjylxyzIPqIHUU9oTnKf4s4NFrUco3qhYjaknaOg6y1oZ7EsIVWTzvquUJ_nyDnum7SF-oiCvf7GWbr4XD7nHg3rvp8CSra4slOhqaK8sV0BN6x1Tyf767Ud4KUyE69MPUohy0J0pxFpFUCGEsgY1oBftz81ULJV36ifOXpRZmBsokbVRx0vIFsoQ=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjylxyzIPqIHUU9oTnKf4s4NFrUco3qhYjaknaOg6y1oZ7EsIVWTzvquUJ_nyDnum7SF-oiCvf7GWbr4XD7nHg3rvp8CSra4slOhqaK8sV0BN6x1Tyf767Ud4KUyE69MPUohy0J0pxFpFUCGEsgY1oBftz81ULJV36ifOXpRZmBsokbVRx0vIFsoQ=s320" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Preparing to ski - take 1</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNK0FK9ZFP0pQjZjBKi5DFlRwXFnvLeXUl6lfLxx4T6kJdahXu9Xcm3rjuk3qr58qs552ET7wbGhaAJhhgmchd_wUnqVE4H7IKKlchA-7WCWuXsSFHYOdAsGo068MOBSR3hEGWmBb7AEciopFEBUdNmZ_lp360GzjHuGcIrtsnGp0JXG4ktBjliA=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNK0FK9ZFP0pQjZjBKi5DFlRwXFnvLeXUl6lfLxx4T6kJdahXu9Xcm3rjuk3qr58qs552ET7wbGhaAJhhgmchd_wUnqVE4H7IKKlchA-7WCWuXsSFHYOdAsGo068MOBSR3hEGWmBb7AEciopFEBUdNmZ_lp360GzjHuGcIrtsnGp0JXG4ktBjliA=s320" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Preparing to ski - take 2</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3_CYQd7EQa8AalvBXGX0tkSONGoMkoq2eH4po_YmwWW7hfwBkXKaigAXSYZkb1A9nm60UVcFXmD_Qwf2zbUcyZ-IT6jlpKhgG6oY_wfkvXjhCT2Ses8sdgXUjWpof8vLKY7bPkjjloEQRthe1SV4xBkb990BgfMOWnEwnmrr2zsVztL4KaWPCkw=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3_CYQd7EQa8AalvBXGX0tkSONGoMkoq2eH4po_YmwWW7hfwBkXKaigAXSYZkb1A9nm60UVcFXmD_Qwf2zbUcyZ-IT6jlpKhgG6oY_wfkvXjhCT2Ses8sdgXUjWpof8vLKY7bPkjjloEQRthe1SV4xBkb990BgfMOWnEwnmrr2zsVztL4KaWPCkw=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">On the slopes! </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhFKIsYL-aFNJummCnmAXQ-ODgcFd9jqSRKf_ZrRpZRQ10_UttFp36l5NrYNmo6P_EXJtscfbem67Tk-bJez6swn31bh0LXQnjQ2OyoiZ0UQ5D7LNpWj0pLovyvmJppbHegG-SBFH9SjgVle9frszLaxJSVHtbkzc_vkAp2SEsArWk6j2Fj_xYEZg=s3264" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhFKIsYL-aFNJummCnmAXQ-ODgcFd9jqSRKf_ZrRpZRQ10_UttFp36l5NrYNmo6P_EXJtscfbem67Tk-bJez6swn31bh0LXQnjQ2OyoiZ0UQ5D7LNpWj0pLovyvmJppbHegG-SBFH9SjgVle9frszLaxJSVHtbkzc_vkAp2SEsArWk6j2Fj_xYEZg=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We forgot sunscreen</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Addie continues to love drawing pictures.

It tired him out (or something) as he has had lots of screaming energy come dinner time. It took lots of patience to extract him from FHE this week and put him to bed early. But he was perky and happy early the next morning! This week he had his 4-year-old doctor check-up and was hobbling around with bandaids on his thighs from the big shots he got. He is very tall for his age!</div></div></div></div></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17788639825518734443noreply@blogger.com0
