Snow time

Aaron bought me these flowers to celebrate Austin's birthday. I'm forever grateful my body was able to deliver four babies! 

On Monday the kids had a snow day. They did a little bit of school work and then spent the afternoon sledding with friends. 

On Tuesday Eli had his last basketball practice. For the last practice, the kids play against the parents. It was a fun memory for all of us.  

Prices of food have gone way up. I'm grateful we have an Aldi here and I can get all these groceries for $80.

Wednesday evening we had parent teacher conferences for the boys. This is the first time in 2 years when we were able to go into the school building for conferences. We loved seeing their classrooms and hearing about the good examples they are at school. We're grateful they're doing so well at school!

Adelaide is walking all over the place and recently started walking while holding things. I love this stage when babies try to see what they can pick up. We were playing Uno and Adelaide found an empty paper towel roll. She walked over to Austin, looked at his head, looked back at the paper town roll and bopped him on the head. It was hilarious! 

She's also started talking her diapers to the trash can. Everyone has chores around here. :)

On Thursday it was another snow day and Aaron's office was closed too! It was crazy to have two snow days in a week during the second week of March. 

On Friday, the boys officially had Spring Break! 

We went to the mall and checked out the Lego store. 

We also checked out the play place. Eli and Austin took off their shoes and started playing. I got tears in my eyes remembering all the times we spent at the play place in Colorado at the mall while Aaron was gone so much. These little boys aren't so little anymore. 

We also checked out Barnes and Noble and the kids wanted to buy all the books. I reminded them we can get books for free at the library. 

We ate lunch at the foodcourt and then the kids begged me to buy this treat. It's cereal with liquid nitrogen that makes you breath like a dragon. We all laughed so much. 

These two crazies got my phone and made silly faces. They're so funny!

On Saturday, Eli played in his last basketball game. He learned so much this year and had a great season! My favorite part of the kids' participating in a sport is when we get to cheer each other on! Way to go, Eli!

He played on a team with his friend Dax and it was great getting to know Dax's family better too. 

On Sunday it was our ward conference. Our Relief Society lesson was a General Conference Talk given last October by President Nelson - Pure Truth, Pure Doctrine, and Pure Revelation. I loved this reminder from our Prophet, "Contrary to the doubts of some, there really is such a thing as right and wrong. There really is absolute truth - eternal truth. One of the plaques of our day is that too few people know where to turn for truth." 

We're counting down the days until General Conference in April, just a few weeks away! Yay!
