A much needed update.

This blog has been seriously neglected. And I seriously hate that. What I don't write down I forget. And I don't want to forget. There have been a few posts here and there but for the most part 2009 is non-existent. I guess this is what happens when you are working full-time, a mommy to four, wife to one, grad student, young women leader and hopefully a friend in there too.

Although busy, life is good to me. Here is my little re-cap.

January brought great snow. Typically, Idaho snow is very dry and not good snow-man making snow. However, January's snow was lovely.







Mitchel spent at least an hour, all by himself, building this snowman. He was so proud of himself. I was pretty proud of him too.




January brings basketball season. The boys had a great season, only losing one game. And they don't seem to be intimidated that they are the smallest kids on the team.




And Coleman made one of his favorite "works" of all time at school. He did all the tracing, cutting, and painting. He loves to tell us what the continents are.



February brought Valentines Day....

complete with treats (thanks Michelle!!)



the largest icicles I've ever seen...




4 cavity-free dentist check-ups (that REALLY makes my day)



and Mitchel's first piano recital



March came and my little girl turned 7.



Coleman learned all about St. Patrick's Day at school and made a trap to catch all the leprechauns. Unfortunately, the trap didn't work (they did sprinkle some gold on it though) and they did some serious damage to his classroom. You should have seen Coleman's eyes. Have I mentioned how much I love his school??



And the cousins came for a fun spring break visit.
