A February Update

I was having problems uploading pictures to my blog for the last month because my storage space was full.  It took me awhile to get around to doing the research to figure out how to regain my storage space again, but I finally figured it out!  Yeah!  Now I can blog again!  So now I am playing catch up. 

Brylie's dance team has had a few dance performances lately at basketball halftimes and also a drill team review.  It is so fun to watch her get better at performing in front of a lot of people.  The first picture didn't turn out very well, but she is the small one on the right!




In February, Cody took swimming lessons with his best friend that lives next door.  He surprised us with how well he did.  The nice thing is that it wore him out every day for 2 weeks!

So this is what happened when he got home from swimming each night.


For awhile now we have had a speech therapist come and work with Sadie a couple times a month.  She likes to bring activities for Sadie.  Sadie is a sensory child.  She likes the feel of soft silky things, and other things like clothing that are just not right, bug her badly.  Sadie also gets concerned when her hands get messy and likes to clean things with wipes. (Hmmm wonder where she got that from?!)  Anyway, the therapist brought a messy activity to desensitize her to messiness.  Well, Sadie and Cody had no problem with the mess, but their mother sure did!!  They played with flour and baby oil.  I had to do 2 loads of laundry and vacuum like crazy when they were done.



Michael has a bunch of trains growing up and could never figure out where they ended up.  One day his sister found a box of them from their shop and sent them down to us.  Cody and Michael set them up and Cody thought that was so cool.

Visit to West Jordan

We visited family in West Jordan shortly after Christmas.  Brylie was so excited to see snow (even though there wasn't very much of it).  We bundled her up in borrowed snow bibs and let her have fun.


We also had the opportunity to go to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point.  We had never been there before and it was a lot of fun.  We left Sadie with Grandma to nap and headed out.  It was snowing a lot that day but we made it!


You gotta love Cody's faces.


Their favorite part was of course the sand and water.  They could have stayed there forever.



We also went for the first time to Incredible Pizza.  The kids had a blast playing the games.  We loved the bowling because it was so easy to do!  I would put up pictures of it, but apparently I have used up all of my picture space on this blog.  I'm not willing to buy more space so I am going to have to start deleting old posts.  It's ok though, cause I have my 2008 and 2009 blog books printed so I can start deleting those now!

Quote by Cody

Our sweet Cody is such a quirky little boy and is always saying the funniest things.  I know I will forget them so quickly, so I better blog them while I still remember them.

I picked him up from preschool yesterday and his teacher told me this.  She asked him to hurry and finish coloring his project so they could move on to something else, and he did a big sigh and said: "I can't.  My hand is out of gas."
