A Full Month of March

March. What a month - a fractured pinky, piano recital, pink eye, Jazz Games, and Easter. That pretty much sums it up. I'll let the pictures do the talking, but I'm just glad we made it through!

We went to McDonald's one night and had the place to ourselves, so naturally I climbed in the slides with the girls.

Greg surprised us by showing up before bedtime. It was a fun surprise.

This is how Greg prays.

I love her!

Our cute neighbor sent me this pic they snapped from their window. Quincey is in such a fun stage.

Sof had an Entrepreneur Fair in 3rd Grade and made her own Caramel Popcorn to sell.

Her packaging and branding turned out so stinking cute!

Zoo Day for Claire! She had so much fun on her first Field Trip.

Quincey was walking around the house like this one night. She sure loves that blankie.

I could hardly contain my excitement when I spied blooms among the snow on our tree one day!
Spring is on its way!

Minion hat, swing, and popcorn. She is one lucky little girly.

Claire was being a little old lady, and I was loving every single second! She's had good practice being "Rita" from Bluey.

Me and my boyfriend.

Happy 33rd birthday to me! Greg came home with a delicious ice cream cake!

Sof was in a mood at the Jump Park one night, and I may have been a bit too determined to make her smile ... Lo and behold, she ended up with a hurt pinky. After a couple of days of not being able to bend it, we finally made a trip to the doctors.

And came home with a shiny new splint - nothing showed up on the x-ray, but the Doctor was pretty certain she had some kind of fracture. 

Sof did great at her 1st Piano Recital with her new teacher. She is doing so many new and wonderful things!

We took advantage of a day out of school to have fun together at the Children's Tree House Museum.

This cat is hilarious! I never know how I'm going to find him.

Perks of Greg's job are the yearly Jazz Tickets that are right on the sidelines, complete with Dinner and mid-game snacks. These are the Jazz games I will go to. I don't remember anything about the game, but it was crazy to be close enough to realize how massive the players really are!

We found Rudy! He was injured, so he didn't play, but it was still fun to see him.

Sof is the best big sis.

Happy 1st day of Spring! Girls night at DQ getting our free cones.

Sof's cool new trick she does at recess had me curling my toes.

Guess who got DOUBLE pink eye? I was wracking my brain trying to figure out where I got it ... turns out the strain this year didn't actually turn everyone's eyes pink ... so lo, and behold I got it from Sofi! It was going around her school like crazy. There are other pictures, but I will spare you. Just know, it was awful, I was so swollen my eyebrows were uneven, and it lasted for 2+ weeks!

So much joy in this picture!

Quincey's newest trick, and it was a favorite!

The PTO fed us breakfast one morning in the cafeteria. 1 of the 2 was thrilled it was donuts. I'll let you guess which one that was ...

I think we keep the neighbors thoroughly entertained. It's a mystery what Quincey is going to bring outside with her each day.

Greg made it to a movie with the girls.

We ended March with Easter. It was early, but a beautiful way to end the month.

Greg is tired! I think he's mastered sleeping while looking awake ... I hate Busy Season.

Happy Easter!

Bubble Blowers for all!

Life hasn't slowed down. It has changed, but man is it fun with this cute family of ours!

In the Bleak Midwinter ... aka February

Oh February, 1 month into Busy Season. Luckily we are pro's and know that eventually, April will come. Until then, we spent a lot of time at the jump park ... it's my survival net for Busy Season and being a single parent ... and had fun playing the Wii. We went on walks and found things to do. Being otuside is how you survive with a toddler. We found ways to stay busy and have fun.

Sof got to ditch school for some reason or another, naturally meaning we ended up at McDonald's for lunch. It's always fun for Quincey to have one of her sisters home to play ever once in a while.

I try to be a fun mom every so often.

Another day, another park - in Bountiful.

Perks to being a controller: Box seats at the Jazz Game.

Imagine my utter delight when I spotted flowers blooming on Feb. 13!

Cute hair for Galentine's Day.

Our Annual trip South for President's Holiday.

The plan was to go to the Desert Hills Temple Open House, but when we got there and saw the line wrapping completely around the building (meaning a 2 hr wait), we decided to take pictures and call it good. 

I love my little girl gang. Road trips with them are so fun!

After exploring the temple grounds, we got lunch and headed to our favorite Tonaquint Park. It was super crowded, but completely worth it to be able to enjoy the absolutely beautiful day in St. Geroge! The fresh dose of sunshine was just what we needed in the middle of February.

Sof had the best time meeting up with her cute friend, Annabelle. They both figured out they would be in St. George at the same time and planned to meet up. It was fun watching their plan come to fuition.

Quincey with her bestie, Mocha. Reunited, and it feels so good!

New glasses!

We had Stake Conference at the Round Building, and after realizing Sofi couldn't read the songs being projected on the screen, we realized she needed glasses ... turns out she'd needed them all year but didn't want them so she never told me (I know!). Needless to say, she now has them and loves being able to see! And, now she can actually find things when we ask her to look for them. Poor Sof.

Dog Pile, and yours truly was on bottom. These 3 are HEAVY!

Enjoying a sunny day outside.

I love finding Claire's little cat drawings. They make me smile every time.

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY TO QUINCEY!
2 Years with Quincey - what fun we have had. She continues to be the best little caboose to our Girl Gang. She loves Moana, Dancing, Being Outside, and hanging with the big kids.
I can't believe this is the only picture I took all day, but I guess it doesn't matter because we ended it at her favorite place ever: The Jump Park.

Thank you Google for this one. She's gotten so big!

Leap Day! And you better believe we spent it with Hondo, our bestie.

Annual Daddy Daughter Dance

The Daddy-Daughter dance rolled back around and you better believe Greg was one of the first to sign up for it. Kudos to whatever rockstar plans this event, because if you can impress Greg, then you are killing it! He has a lot of fun with the girls, and it is fun to watch them all go off together, leaving me an evening to myself. In fact, I think Quincey will be old enough to go in 2025 ... :).

Greg got creative this year and made the girls a secret code to crack in terms of an invitation. It was pretty cute to watch.

All dressed up!

Dinner a Sil's! Greg learned where and where not to take the girls for dinner. They got their food in record time sitting at the bar.

Party rules of arriving fashionably late don't apply to the Daddy-Daughter Dance. You need to be there ON-TIME to avoid long lines, especially when it comes to facepainting.

And they had a dance contest for the Dad's. The video file is too big to load, but just know Greg didn't win, but the man who did definitely deserved it. He was air guitarring with the pros!

The girls had the best time! They sure are lucky to have the cutest Girl-Dad around.
