Slices of Life - February 2021

2/27/2021

 

​WEIGHT CHECK
FEBRUARY 5, 2021
Picture
I’ve been ramping up my running and although I don’t usually check my weight, I have been inclined lately to see where I am. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that I was under 110 one morning after my run. ​It's been over a year since I have seen that. Yippee!!!

DANCING MADELINE
FEBRUARY 8, 2021
Picture
​I love watching Madeline as she dances to Mike playing the guitar. Her favorite song that Mike plays for her is the dress-up song that he wrote. She usually runs upstairs and puts on one of her dress-up dresses and then runs down the stairs to spin and twirl.

EMMA GETS HER DRIVERS PERMIT
FEBRUARY 11, 2021
Picture
​We were in and out of the DMV in less than 30 minutes to get Emma’s drivers permit. The DMV has come a long way since Andrew got his permit. And to top it all off, she took the cutest picture. I’m so excited for her next adventure to learn how to drive a car.

BREAKFAST IN BED
FEBRUARY 14, 2021
Picture
​I wasn’t feeling well, and it was Valentine’s Day, so Mike made me breakfast in bed. It’s always a good morning when you get to eat buttermilk pancakes, bacon and hash browns for breakfast. 

VALENTINES COOKIE KIT
FEBRUARY 14, 2021

Picture
​My mom ordered a cookie decorating kit from a childhood friend of mine who has her own business. We opened the box on Valentine’s Day and let Madeline have fun decorating her cookies. 

FREEZING COLD TEMPS
FEBRUARY 14, 2021
Picture
​We have been experiencing a rather drastic cold front. Today in the middle of the day it was -2F with a real feel of -20F. I don’t think we have had weather this cold since we’ve lived in Colorado. 

NEW SCRIPTURES
FEBRUARY 17, 2021
Picture
​For the last few months, I have been working with Alpine Custom Binding to customize new scriptures. I ordered a brand-new large set and had them divide it into 2 books. I went back and forth with the color of leather I wanted but settled on something delicate and simple. I love my baby blue scriptures with silver embossing. They even put in some of the church proclamations and my patriarchal blessing into the back of my Book of Mormon. 

PANERA LUNCH DAY
FEBRUARY 18, 2021

Picture
​I bought Panera for everyone today since it was an e-learning day for the big kids and a snow day. Peter loved his grilled cheese, Abby loved her mac-n-cheese, and Emma loved her caesar salad and napa almond chicken salad sandwich.

BIG SISTER LOVE
FEBRUARY 18, 2021

Picture
​Every time it snows Madeline is eager to go outside and play in it. After she got home from school and Abby’s school was finished, she told Madeline that she would go outside and play with her. She gave Abby the biggest hug.  

MIKE’S MAD COOKING SKILLS
FEBRUARY 21, 2021

Picture
Picture
​For dinner Mike made Cornish hens, roasted vegetables and stuffing. It was such a delicious meal, and everyone was impressed. I love it when Mike gets the urge to make something new for dinner.  For dessert Mike made a chocolate cake with homemade frosting. It was out of this word amazing.


​PRACTICING WRITING WITH MADELINE
FEBRUARY 23, 2021
Picture
Picture
​Madeline’s preschool sent us a chart of skills to know before Kindergarten. Many of the skills she has already mastered but there are a few that will take some time to master. We started working on writing her name. We spent some time learning the proper stroke order and then I had her trace her name a few times. She did amazing. Then she drew a picture of me under the sun. I love her drawings so much.

UNDER THE WEATHER
FEBRUARY 23, 2021

Picture
​It’s always a sad thing when one of the kids is sick. This was the first day of the school year that Emma took the entire day off of school. She slept most of the day but started to feel better by evening.

MADELINE’S DENTAL VISIT
FEBRUARY 24, 2021

Picture
Picture
​Madeline has been going to the dentist for over a year now and this was the first time that she sat in the chair all by herself. She did such a good job letting the hygienist count and clean her teeth. When she brushed her teeth with the electronic toothbrush, Madeline just giggled and said it tickled. It was pretty cute.

LETTERS AND THEIR SOUNDS
FEBRUARY 25, 2021
Picture
​Madeline and I spent another day of learning working on letter recognition, order and sounds. Madeline has known all of her letters for quite some time, and she did a great job putting all the letters in order. She still struggles with some of the sounds that some of the letters make so we pulled out the Leap Frog fridge magnets and used that to help us with the letter sounds. She got about 70% of the sounds. 

TREADMILL DAY
FEBRUARY 25, 2021

Picture
​Emma and I headed over to Flying Horse to use the treadmill since her Kokopelli practice was cancelled due to all the snow. I did some fast walking while she did her workout. I’m so grateful to have a clean, safe, and uncrowded place to exercise inside.

HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS

CLEANLINESS
FEBRUARY 26, 2021
Picture
​With the kids being home the majority of the week to do school via e-learning, there is rarely an opportunity for me to go into their rooms and help them with some deep cleaning. On this particular day I focused on Peter’s room. It was so dusty and cluttered but by the time I was finished it looked great.

EMMA’S TRACK MEET
FEBRUARY 27, 2021

Picture
​Emma ran in her first track meet of 2021 with the Kokopelli racing team. We weren’t quite sure what seed time she was capable of, so we guessed and put her in the 5:45 heat. She did such a fantastic job and finished her mile in 5:46. With two more months of pre-season before HS track season, she was thrilled to be in such a good position already.
