January Gems

2023!

9AM Church on New Year's Day is a bit rough.  We were definitely a little bit late but it's nice to have so much time in the afternoon.  Since there is no Survivor right now we've been watching Bobba Fett for our Sunday evening family show- the boys love it, the girls not so much.


More often we've been seeing some sister love/bonding.  It gives me hope- even if this was half wrestling/half hug.

All 4 kids had dentist appointments before school started back!  No cavities!  They still played for a few minutes on the playground!



No cavity tradition we go out for treats!  I took them to Crepes au Chocolate in Dana Park.  So yummy!

Youth Program kick-off!  Here is Charlotte's class!  I'll add Abby's and Olly's if I can find them!  So grateful for good friends and leaders for my kids!

We had a hilarious slack chat about dressing in neon 80s workout gear.  When Kristin Bowler showed up with these for the walking group Lindsay McRae and I had to try them out!

Date Night to Outback and amazing Arizona sunsets!  So grateful our kids are older and we can go on dates more often! We love spending time together!

The boys made these blanket hammocks under the bunk bed!

First Official Sleepover for the girls!
We don't do sleepovers with friends, only cousins but we don't have many cousins close.  So after the Tayriend Christmas party, my girls asked if 2nd cousins count.  My dear cousin Stefani and I spend so many weeks at each other's houses growing up so it feels appropriate our girls would love each other too!  Holland and Gracie are right in between my girl's ages.  There was a lot of talking & giggling late at night, Watching sweet home Alabama and yummy breakfast and stores the next day.  We met Stefani for lunch at Panera bread and some shopping.







Erin turns 38!

Angie did my hair and we went to Crackers for breakfast! I had so many sweet messages, flowers treats, and gifts dropped off. Matt got me my calendar and some good battery chargers for Italy.  I volunteered at the kids' school too.  Matt and I did a Cheesecake Factory date on Friday, January 13th.

Went to Freshman night with Charlotte!  She officially chose Mountain View High School!
It feels like the beginning of the end of her childhood.

I'd lost track of Donna, my mentor teacher, for a couple years.  It was so fun to meet up for lunch at Red Robin and catch up!

Miles is still a fruit fiend.  The strawberries from Costco were so much better!



Abby and I got new helmets!

We've taken a few family bike rides in the beautiful weather.  My bike is broken so I borrow the girl's bike.

Charlotte loves babysitting Paige!

The boys really needed haircuts!  Miles is protesting showers too these days.


Another walking group with my new friend Kristen.

FFFF- Fourth Fridays at four at the field.  Fun ward play day at the field.   Missionary tag!



Cute Matt and Miles.  Matt got them a big thing of Jelly beans!

January does feel like a really long month after all the holidays, luckily my birthday helps break it up!
