Kim had a fun girls night a couple weekends ago
The next day they all got together again with the kids and the kids had lots of fun playing together. Here is Nixon practicing his wrestling skills.
Some foosball
All of the kids together
Lyza had some friends over to play D&D
Mason has been very interested in origami. This is a Pikachu watch he made
Check out how much Mason moves when he plays video games
He is drenched by the time he is done
Mason with some of his art work he created to remind us to be kind and loving
We all got out on the hill together last week. This is Lyza and Nixon on the chair lift behind me while I have Mason beside me
It was a beautiful day
Henry got some more lessons from his mom
And we got a group photo
It is fun riding the chair lift with Henry
Henry did really well again on the hill
We drove home from Skiing in lots of falling snow (almost a white out at times).
The next morning was beautiful with all of the new fallen snow so I had to get the drone out and document it
Kim was in charge of a stake youth fireside last Sunday, which included getting the refreshments. That meant picking up several hundred donuts. Lyza was happy to help out.
Playing with friends in the morning before school
Henry got to go to the indoor playground with friends
He also got fun preschool at our house
Kim got a new flower (an amaryllis)
Kim and I went on a date this week and had pizza
We finished updating all of our lighting this week, which meant replacing our ceiling fans in the living room and the toy room
Henry was a good helper
Lyza had an Emblems of Belonging night for Young Women this week
Here's the necklace she got (if you can see it on that busy patterned shirt)
Are those muscles or did Mason stuff balloons in his shirt?
Nixon had his first basketball game of the season yesterday
Nixon is in 3rd grade and he is playing with 3rd and 4th grade boys. It is definitely a step up from last season (not to mention the fact that the hoop is a foot higher than last year)
Everyone anxiously waiting to see if Nixon's shot is going to go in (sadly it didn't)
He did really well. Here is a little video of him playing. Watch for the 25 second mark where Nixon gets hit on the face when he shoots (the refereeing was terrible)
It was really cold yesterday so we didn't go skiing :(
And for the sad news...we said good-bye to Cupcake today. Luckily Lyza took some pictures with her very recently and got to say good bye to her.
Lyza is missing her little hamster right now.
Take care and have a great week.
Lyza, I’m sorry to hear about Cupcake. Hope you can remember all the good memories you had together. I hope you are enjoying Young Women’s so far!
ReplyDeleteNixon, enjoy your time playing basketball. Wish we lived closer and we could cheer you on during your games.
Mason, I love your artwork! Thanks so much for the mail you sent your cousins. They loved it. You are such a sweet boy to think of them!
Henry, you are an amazing little skier. Way to go!
