March

Kylee and Brody wanted to go skiing in Colorado while they were living there, so Brad and I agreed to drive out there to watch Evan so they could go. We drove to Fort Collins on Saturday and spent the night there. Then on Sunday, we drove with the Hatches to Steamboat Springs, CO. We spent the day exploring a little, and playing games in our hotel. Kylee and Brody went skiing on Monday, while we stayed at the hotel to watch Evan. He is such a cute, happy little dude and we had so much fun with him! We went out to eat, and played many rounds of rook and hearts, and just enjoyed the cool city before leaving on Tuesday morning. We hung out at the Hatches that night, then headed home the next morning.

Von invited all her sisters and nieces to join in on her 60th birthday celebration. My mom's cousin offered us their beautiful (second) home in Provo for the weekend and it was fabulous! We had a great time going out to eat, going to the art museum, making a craft, going for walks, going shopping and spending time together. Rick joined us the last day and treated us all to a yummy lunch at a Thai Drift place.

It was time for me to get in another wreck. They seem to happen to me about every two years. I was on my way to nanny in Smithfield and got in the turning lane to turn left onto their street and was waiting for the cars coming the opposite direction. The lady coming from the other side of the street, coming onto main street was going to wait in the turning lane as well and apparently she didn't see me. Luckily happened about two weeks before we left for the summer and it was able to get fixed before we needed to leave.

Kylee and Evan came for a visit the week of Spring Break. It was so fun having them around and we did some fun things while they were here including feeding the ducks, dinner with Gma and Gpa Weyerts, jumped on the tramp, went on a hike, attended women's conference, and played card games.

The Bundy's and Densley's came over on Sunday and it was so fun to see Evan and Shep together. They just so happened to be in matching outfits!

February

We babysat the Jenkin kids overnight and all of the kids loved Brad. We had an extremely warm winter this year, so we were able to go and play at the park. It was awesome! 

Our friends, Nick and Mikell, had a fun couples Valentine Party. We had some appetizers, followed by some intense games of boys vs. girls. Everyone wrote a wish on a piece of paper at the beginning of the night and if the boys won, the girls had to grant them their wish and visa versa. It made it fun and competitive! Each couple got drawn to do a little competition, plus we had a few team competitions. Brad and I got picked to see who could get dressed as the opposite gender the fastest. The girls ended up winning so I got a 20 minute back massage! :) 

 We got to go to Braxten's birthday party. I can't believe that little cutie is already 3! We missed Carter's birthday the month before, so we brought his present as well.. matching shirts and some books.

We decided to take a little girls trip (+ Evan) to Arizona to visit friends and family. We were only there for two and a half days, so it was just a short little trip, but we were able to pack in a lot of fun things while we were there. We visited with the Frosts (and saw their new puppies), Hoffmans, Paul and Denae and the Robertson's. We also swam in the hotel pool, saw the new Gilbert temple, got Bahama Bucks, did some shopping, and played card games. I hope we can make this a tradition, it was so much fun! 

For Brad's birthday, he decided he wanted to keep the tradition of going to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. This year, it was just the two of us that went. It was so great to spend some quality time with each other. We also celebrated the night before with my parents and the Bundy's. My mom made him sweet pork burritos, he opened all his presents and we had his choice of brownies for dessert.  

January

We kept up our tradition of going snowshoeing for the third year in a row. Brad was on a preseason trip in California, but we enjoyed having Brody and Evan join us this year. There wasn't much snow, so we ended up ditching our snowshoes about half way up and just hiked the rest of the way. It was fun and such a beautiful day! 

 We spent the weekend at the cabin with Brad's family and had a great time! We saw the best sunset on the way home!
