March 2016 - Part 1

Nate loves Tub Time. He wants the water to run continually, no matter how high it gets. 
A visit to the Holladay Park, just for fun. Hailey had a great time climbing. It's amazing how each child grows and learns and can do things they once couldn't. Hailey is a burst of joy, independence, sweetness, imagination and persistence. 
A Friday morning jumping lily pads at Music Makers
 Andrew hosted his Jr. Jazz basketball team for a Friday night late over to celebrate a fun season. (The team was undefeated.) The 10 boys watched a movie and ate pizza but, mostly the played night games and driveway basketball games outside. The weather was pretty nice and they loved running around and being out late. 
Enjoying a little snow fall
Kate loves to spend as much time as possible in jimmies. Whenever we don't have somewhere to go she spends all day snuggly warm. 
Another day, another pair of pajamas. I love it because it cuts down on laundry and she might as well enjoy it while she's little. 
 One of Nate's most favorite activities is to dump things out. The bucket of sidewalk chalk is particularly fun for him. 
A play date for Hailey and Jemima, (and Kate and Jerusha too).
Another play date for Hailey and Kate with friends Haddie and Wrenly Chipman. 
Some of my dearest high school friends went to visit Gwen and see her newest baby: baby boy #3. It is always so fun to be with these wonderful friends. From left to right is Hillary Stewart Burton, Suzy Seaman Ratto, me and Gwen Bruner Adams.
After preschool play date was at our house this week for Hailey, Laney and Stella. 
Love my blue eyed, busy boy!
Watching a Jazz Game with Luke Kleven too
 Nate loves dogs as much as his big sisters do! We went to lunch at my friends house and Nate sure did love giving Agnes dog hugs whenever he could. 
 Little grown up sweetie!
To keep things fair Ashley invited a big bunch of friends over for a late over. The girls watched a movie and had pizza and played some games but, just like Andrew's friends, they mostly loved being outside. They spent most their time on the trampoline. 
Left to Right, top to bottom: Emme, Mary, Makena, Ellie, Kate, Amelia, Abi, Ivy, Lauren, Ashley, Kylee and Olivia. We try to always be as inclusive as possible and so Ashley invited another handful of friends who weren't able to come. 
 While Ashley's late over happened at home, Andrew and Dave had a great time in some really great Jazz seats on the 7th row, thanks to KSL. 
 After a trip to the grocery store Nate dumped out a bag of fishy crackers. He gets such a kick out of dumping things out. I can't get mad because he thinks it's so funny. 
Another great Ski Saturday for these 2 and Dave. They have gotten some great use out of their passes this year. 
Callie had a small part in the Olympus Jr. High production of Beauty and the Beast. The play was very well done and we loved going support her! Lizzie and Joe came along with us too, which made it even that much more fun. 

After the show. Good Job Callie! Here are the 3 oldest kids from each family.  
 Posing with Princess Belle.  
After Church shenanigans
Getting set for a posed picture. But, getting Nate to be in the picture is super tricky now that he's so busy. 
 This is how Nate looks when he's asked to stand still for a picture.  
 And he's off! Let's try again on the trampoline. 
 Still miserable. 
 He's happy if he's free! Cute Nate walked around and around...and around the kids. 
 That got them laughing and he was smiling too. 
 Below is my favorite. Nate is too busy to sit still for a posed picture but, his antics sure do bring out everyone's smiles. 
There's not much sweeter than seeing one of my babies growing up and taking care of a younger baby, plus the complete trust Nate has in her is wonderful too. 
Cousin William had his 7th birthday and so Sunday dinner was at the Farnsworth's house. Nate loves brooms! 
 After dinner we did some fun fireworks outside too.
