Gymnastics Meet

We went to a University of Utah gymnastics meet tonight and had a fun time. Kali gets to be a helper with the scoring during a meet next month so her coach wanted her to come watch a meet to get a feel for what she'll have to do. Unfortunately we were so high up that Kali was having trouble seeing, but it was still fun to go.

Emma had a blast because she spent the entire time walking along the seats. Sadie, on the other hand, was bored out of her mind. She didn't like the fact that she had to just sit there. She wanted to be down on the floor. She was, however, infatuated with the U sign. She wanted to know why everyone kept holding their hands in that position and decided to give it a try. Josh was pretty horrified to see what she was doing. What did he expect when we were at a University of Utah meet?!

And for some reason we always luck out at sporting events and end up near the mascot. The U's red-tailed hawk, Swoop, came up and gave the girls a high five. They were pretty stoked.

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam

We have a tradition with our Family Home Evenings. The first song we sing every single time is "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" and it gets a little crazy. The girls run in circles and jump off couches and have a ton of fun. We've done it for a couple of years now and it's a great beginning to the evening. Not only is it a way to round everyone up, but it helps put everyone in a good mood and gets the attention of the little ones.

Snow Fun

Josh finally had a Saturday with nothing going on and spent the day outside in the snow with the girls. They had a blast. Especially because he built them a snow cave.

Had it not been for the fact that the following day was a Sunday, Josh said he would have slept in it. It was plenty big and warm.

Princess Camp

Sadie is doing a class called Princess Camp for this session of Discovery. She is learning how to be a princess and today they were focusing on how they talk and walk. Sadie did such a good job walking with a clipboard on her head. She was so proud that she was the only one to walk around the chair and back without dropping it a single time.

Sledding

The girls have been dying to go sledding and we finally got our chance. Unfortunately, Kali took Ashlyn out on her first run down the hill so there were a lot of tears and some pouting, but eventually everyone ended up having fun.

Frisbee Dodgeball

On New Year's Day we got together with the Smith side and played frisbee dodgeball. We gave Brady and Jordan soft frisbees for Christmas and wanted to show them how fun they were. Everyone had a blast, including the kids. And we were all super sore the following day.
