March 2025 - One Year Older, Snow Days, Piano Recitals, and Fun

What better way to begin the post for March 2025 than this fantastic video? 

34 years baby!

For my birthday, Quincey and I went to have lunch with Greg somewhere in West Valley that served delicious tacos. Quince was excited to pack and bring her own lunch on our date.

I'm one lucky girl!

Quince continues to grow and graduated to a toddler bed. She's so big!

Claire is hilarious. 1st Graders are the best!

I took the girls down to Thanksgiving Point to the Butterfly Terrarium and we had the best time! Catching and chasing butterflies was the funnest thing!

And, of course, we couldn't end the trip without ice cream. I blew past the first McDonald's window and how to run back to pay for the cones. The girls were laughing at me, how embarassing 🤣

It's so fun watching Sof grow up and become her own person. She is so easy to be around and is constantly doing the most random things that make us laugh.

March 9, 2025 and Greg was able to come home before dark. It's a Mad World!

Quince loved taking her scooter on bike rides just so she could cruise down the hill with us.

Sof's new glasses came! She's looking so big!

(And her white eyebrows from the Willy Wonka play)

I've learned to always keep a kite in the car, for windy spring days like this.

Willy Wonka, Jr. - Sof is amazing as an Oompa Loompa and in the Ensemble.

We were thrilled to have Grandma Jan and Grandpa Todd come stay and watch Sof's play with us.

Claire's cute chick she drew in school for St. Patrick's Day.

Sofi and Claire performed in their piano recital and did really well! Sof had a solo and Claire did a duet with Miss Emma.

Donuts for breakfast at the school with Annabelle!

It may have taken me 7+ months to finish this little dresser, but it finally happenened and turned out beautiful!

Kaysville had a snow day, and it made everything look so beautiful!

Our neighbors built the BIGGEST snowman. This picture doesn't do its size justice.

You better believe I'm going to cram these girlies on the ebike for as long as I can!

This is one I need to frame.

Not exactly sure what I'm doing here, but I'm sure it was important.

It's so cute the way she's looking up at her Daddy.

Quince went through a major necklace phase there for a while, and it was so cute to see her layers and layers of necklaces. She's also rocking my very last purchase from Jolley's Ranchwear - the little cowgirl boots.

March was so much fun! It always feels like it's the longest month at the time, and while it is long, it is a month we also enjoy. Between the snow days and days warm enough for the park, we are always able to find something to do.

February 2025

February - So many fun things! Park trips, birthday's, ice cream and adventures.

---

We started February out strong with a surprise 40th birthday party for Aunt Lori in Morgan. It was fun to grab an early dinner with cousins, then race to Morgan to surprise Lori, which we did! We don't have a lot of family gatherings for my side of the family, so it's been fun to get together with Lori whenever we can - the Whetten's sure know how to throw a party!

Sof learned swing dancing with Lexi. They got pretty good.

Claire helped make cloud shelves for her room, and they turned out really cute!

Snow day!

Where's Quincey?

One of Claire's more elaborate morning sleep positions.

We had lunch one Saturday while Greg was working (Busy Season, blah!) and we ended up being at McDonald's for quite a while.

By girl #3, I have come to the realization that having cute hair is overrated. But, I decided to be a fun mom on Valentine's and give Quincey a heart in her hair.

Greg made the girls their own Valentine Cards, and they were hilarious!

He also surprised them with tickets to the Daddy Daughter Dance again, and they had a blast!

This is the video I look forward to each year for Greg to send me!

They girls had the best night ever! Quincey was super lucky and got her name pulled out of a hat to win a unicorn at her first dance! She's probably going to have high expectations for future years. The girls had fun and came home with the prettiest roses!

Because, why wouldn't he nap on my clean, dry clothes?

Quince contracted a crazy virus from somewhere and developed a full body rash, poor girl! She got really good at soaking in oatmeal baths.

This popped up on our "frame" and I'm realized these 2 photo's together perfectly summarize what Claire's toddler years were like 🤣.

Sof with her fellow "Oompah Loompah's" in the Willy Wonka, Jr. play.

We spent an afternoon at the Get Air in Murray and had fun.

We managed to go on a date night!

The many faces of Sofia Lu Spjute.

and Claire LaRee :).

Happy 3rd Birthday to Quincey!

She brings so much joy and laughter to our family. 

We spent the day eating her favorite things, playing at the jump park and Farmington park, and eating yummy cupcakes. 

Quincey loves to sing, dance, play outside, torment mittens and rule our girl gang. 
She is the perfect little caboose to our family, and we can't believe she's already 3!

I found this in the archives and it made me smile. Quince sure is shy, but girfriend has a big personality!
