Colorado Mammoth Game! 
Procrastinating folding laundry 
ha ha ha
This year as service for Jim’s birthday we decided to make sugar cookie kits and donate the proceeds to the International Humane Society to help with Animal care in Ukraine. And by we, I mean I. I did get Halle and Josh to help with frosting, and Blake helped me pack up the kits. I love taking intentional time to remember Jim and recommit to be more like him. Laugh more, love more, and enjoy life as it comes.
it’s official!! She is Colorado State bound!
Last ski day! We hit Copper this time and had an absolute blast.
One Act plays. Halle’s advanced drama class put on The Wizard of Oz. Halle was allllll the supporting characters. Oz, Glinda, Wicked Witch, gate keeper, and her puppets helped with many more. It was so cute and funny. Then, in very stark contrast, she starred as Anna in Anna Alone. She played a girl with Dissociative Identity Disorder. Can’t believe this was her very last HS drama performace
Our Saturdays are filled with Lacrosse. It’s been really rewarding watching Blake improve each week. This was after he scored his first goal!
I broke the dog. He went from adorable and fluffy, to a shaved, skinny, sad puppy. He did not move unless necessary for about 7 days. I think he was so uncomfortable. And freezing. So freezing.
Tennis Tournament in Ft. Collins! 
Strawberry Fanta after a Stake Dance. They are obsessed with Strawberry FantaHap 
Happy Birthday Jane! It’s so fun to give Jane gifts, because her reactions are SO. GOOD. 
Rusty took the boys to Tech Stars Demo Day. This is usually really fun. Not this year. They were so bored listening to all the fintech companies. 
Spring is here and so are the baby bunnies! 
Dash begging Halle not to leave him 
Handsome boys after a trip to the Ft. Collins temple 
Hiking the first Flatiron with Dad and some of the YM. 
Halle managing a giant crowd at Menchies. After a hiatus, she is back. And we’re so glad. We’ve missed our fro-yo!
Senior voice recital! She was so so good. She’s been sick for the last week, and was nervous about how she’d sound. No need to worry–it was AMAZING. I loved listening to her sing Newsies. It makes me so nostalgic for when she was a little girl.
Boys ski weekend at Copper. They tried to be cool without their shirts on, and ended up on their butts freezing and laughing their heads off.
