Simon and the kids had the day off for President's Day so we decided to take a family hike. We are so fortunate to live at the base of these beautiful mountains, we need to take advantage of them more. This was about a 2-mile hike and the kids did awesome! It was a beautiful (February) day...perfect for hiking and family time.

Tonight was the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. I can't believe this kid has been in scouts for an entire year! He's growing up so fast!

Today was my first day babysitting this cute girl, Klare Little. I'll have her on Wednesdays and Fridays for the next year or two. She is so sweet and fun to have around!

We went to parent-teacher conferences for Nick and Kendra tonight. I just can't get over how pleased I am with these kids. Nick is doing amazing! His teacher wants to take him home and keep him as her own. :) He's on an accelerated course in reading, writing, and mathematics. He's a sweet kid who includes everyone, is respectful to those around him, is focused, and attentive. We got an amazing report from Mrs. Fay on Nick. Then it was Kendra's turn. Her teacher, Miss Lockwood, had nothing but wonderful things to say. Kendra went from being right on grade-level in reading at the beginning of the year to reading just 1 level below a 3rd grade reading level now! She's happy, kind, thoughtful, and motivated to learn. She absolutely loves Miss Lockwood and is completely wrapped around her finger. I couldn't be more thankful for this school! There are always parents in the classrooms helping out and the teachers are some of the best in the district. I also feel that we have, hands-down, the best principal...possibly in the state. He is so amazing!! I have been so impressed and owe them so much. They are truly helping to shape my kids' lives and I am so thankful!

When the cat's away, the mice will play. :) Simon went to the Klondike Scout Camp so the kiddos and I went to Wendy's for dinner. It was super fun being with them and hanging out.

Happy 35th birthday to Jeremy Olsen! We went to a fun bowling party at the new Delton Lanes in Riverton with a bunch of fun ward friends. I am so glad we have this group of friends to hang out with. We have really enjoyed this awesome ward!

We had dinner at Grandma and Jim's then went to a fireside featuring the BYU Young Ambassadors. They were AMAZING! I loved every moment hearing them sing and share their beautiful talent with us. We want to get them to come to our stake for a fireside.
