What We've Been Up To!!

It seems like life just keeps on keepin' on around here. I haven't had anything extraordinary to blog about lately...so I thought I'd just catch you up on what's been going on.

First of all...Audree is quite the artist. She LOVES to color and draw. But I didn't realize until just the other day that she might take that talent to the streets...maybe she's a "grafiti artist". Unfortunately, If she does take her work outside she will be caught very quickly, since she never forgets to leave her signature on her artwork. Like, when she decorated my living room the other day! What a little stinker! Don't worry, her little brother confessed to the crime with her...in fact, he even said, "Yep, we did it when you were making the soup!". AH HA!



We also have been working hard on Karlee's first science project. We decided to test out which Orbit gum flavor lasts the longest. It was a fun project because for a week, every night after dinner the whole family took a piece of gum and we all timed how long the flavor lasted! It was a fun little project and here's how the board turned out when we were all finished!


Then we had a really great Valentine's Day! The kids all loved their class parties at school! Then we had a little family party in the evening, pizza for dinner and Valentine's for all! What Rylee was really excited about though was the "date" she had that evening! Rylee absolutely LOVES to go on Daddy-Daughter dates (and Jake is really good to take all the kids out on these individual dates fairly often!). So, she brought home some free tickets to a "Flash" (NBA d-league team that plays at UVU) game. She asked him if he would go on a date with her on Valentine's night...I obviously had no choice but to give up my date and let them go...she was so excited and talked about it for days! They had a great time, but Jake said all she wanted to talk about was other guys!! Ha Ha!
