There was no time to rest after returning home from Hawaii
Nixon and I had to finish his pinewood derby car
It turned out pretty good
It was also a fast car
There was only one car that was faster
Nixon was pretty happy to win second place
That evening we were able to give the kids the gifts we brought back from Hawaii for them
And the family ukulele
Mason and Kim got right to work building his sea turtle
The next night Nixon has his recorder concert
That same night Lyza had a math competition with dozens of teams from the various elementary schools in the district
Lyza got sixth place! She was on top of the world.
We are so proud of our mathlete!
The next day we woke up to fresh snow and warm weather
So we headed to the hill for some sledding/tubing
Nixon has gotten really good with this thing
We had lots of fun together
On March 14th we had apple pie (my second day of a very busy three-day trial)
These two having fun together
We had a ward potluck that was family history themed and Lyza and Nixon helped make a poster about Abner Bohne, their great-great grandfather
Lyza's teacher got her this book
The challenge kids had a STEM fair at the school and Lyza helped in the bug room
She made this
The kids tried their best to catch a leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day but were again unsuccessful
They did get marked by the leprechaun though
Kim had a ski trip with some friends last week
It was a beautiful warm day and she had lots of fun
I got to hang out with Henry for the day and even take him into the office
We also had lunch together at Texas Roadhouse
The next day I got to take Nixon skiing. It was my first time riding the gondola up to the ski resort
It was a little too bright for Nixon to keep his eyes open
It was a BEAUTIFUL day
This lift went straight up at the end
Here is some footage of our skiing. I know it is a long video but make sure you check out these spots for the highlights: 00:00-01:51; 02:55-05:02; and 15:21-END
While we were on the hill Kim and the other kids were enjoying a warm sunny day
Mason has gotten pretty serious with origami. This is a Pokémon holder he made
Henry flipping on the big pillow with a safe handing area underneath
Henry got to use his frozen yogurt gift card
The kids had their first day of spring break yesterday and Mason got to have a friend over all day
We also set the trampoline up
My new GoPro arrived yesterday so I got to test it out with Nixon
Playing at the park yesterday with friends
We are looking forward to a warm and fun spring break with some family visiting!
Take care
So fun to see your post - Nixon your car looked awesome and how fun to watch you on the ski hill, I can tell how excited Lyza was about her Math competition, she did great, Henry and Mason you are so creative with your race track and it looked like you all had a great time in the snow.
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteNixon, your Pinewood Derby car looked awesome!
Lyza, way to go on competing with the mathletes!

The sledding and skiiing looks like a blast.
