February 2016

Another busy month whizzed by.  February was full with the events that fill up a calendar: baby shower, wedding, orthodontist appointments, etc. Adele and Ceci had an audition for a print ad, there was a parent meeting for a play Tennie is in at school (followed by evening and Saturday rehearsals), a parent meeting for a new Waldorf Charter School that Ceci will attend next Fall, speaking at a ward conference, plus Geoff and I have weekly School Improvement Committee meeting for Tennie and Adele's school, and we've started a series of five meetings with some of Tennie's friends on how to access scholarships (Geoff works with a guy who has figured out the system.)  Let me add a few things I have pictures of:

Our friends the Serafins were in town for family reunion.  Thankfully Ashley and I got to visit while Adele and Ceci played with Nina and her cousin Tabitha:

Geoff, Tennie and Adele had a daddy/daughter 50's theme dance:

We had a stake youth snowshoeing activity up at the mountain home of our stake YM's president.  It could not have been a more beautiful location and perfect day:

Bailey had a Star Wars birthday party. Em's parties never disappoint!

Geoff took a beating from some of the Jedis-in-training:

(Although he got them all back when he dressed up as Darth Vader for the official Jedi Training):

Tennie passed the written driver's test and is now in possession of her driver's PERMIT! (Third attempt was a charm!)

Ceci and I went on a field trip to the Natural History Museum.  They have some pretty scary reptiles!

Ceci is never a dull companion!

Adele and Ceci went with Nikki to visit her office:

We stopped by the Puppy Barn to have their dog fix:

Geoff and Ceci spend at least two afternoons skiing every week.  Ceci conquered her goal to go down a double black diamond.

We hiked up to Ensign Peak with Geoff's dad one gorgeous, early Spring evening:

One of our family goals is to have a green smoothie every day.  We're definitely not perfect but we are getting more greens than we normally would. I'm jumping into March now, but Geoff and I just did a week cleanse.  Our prize at the end was trying an acai bowl.  We've heard these raved about but hadn't experience what all the fuss was about...until yesterday.  Oh boy was it ever tasty!!!  We're going back tomorrow morning for more...

Until the end of March...
