I'm starting to enjoy weekends again. For many months while we were in Indiana, the weekends, well Saturdays, were the same as any other day of the week. Nate would have to go into school to work on research while I was home with the kids all day. Nate still usually has to do some work on Saturdays, but not half as much and I get to enjoy him more. We have set apart time for official date nights together on the weekends as well as parent date nights with each of the girls. Each month Nate and I rotate and take each of the girls out on a date with must daughter and parent. They get to choose what they want to do. So far, the tradition seems to be ending the night with frozen yogurt from Mill Hollow. They love it and so do we. It's just so nice to be able to be one on one with them.
Over Valentines Day weekend, our family drove up to Midway Utah to spend the weekend in a vacation home of some of our friends that we had met in Bloomington that now live in UT. We swam in the pool, hot tubbed, played games, watched Olymipics and stayed up way to late every night with the Halversons and Atkissons. It was great.
This past weekend was great with the visit of Grandma and Grandpa Rawlinson and Kristi. We crammed a lot of fun into a quick visit, going out to eat, touring the ever growing BYU-I campus, going to family night at the gymnastics school doing a little of everything; slack-lining, sumo wrestling, jumping in the foam pit, letting the kids run, and watching Nate do a cart-wheel on the balance beam, a round-off back flip on the floor, and catapulting his body off a trampoline over a tower he and some other guys built onto a huge soft mat, then ending the night with Mexican food. We had a blast and love having family visit more often!!
Grandma couldn't resist some Easter outfits for the kids. Thank you!
Preston continues to melt my heart every day with his cute smile, his happy personality, and easy laugh. He is saying everything we say adding more words to his vocabulary every day.
Everyone still says he looks just like his daddy!
