January

Not too much happened during January. Barry played videogames one day with the kids while I went on a one-night getaway to Pocatello/Lava Hot Springs with my mom and sisters. We watched News of the World, had dinner, and went shopping. Then soaked in the hot pools the next day.

The most exciting thing was probably that Quinton moved up to the Teacher's quorum and was ordained. Barry also attempted ice fishing with the kids again to Pineview Reservoir and they FINALLY caught a couple fish.

 

Train Ride

We've wanted to take the kids on a train ride for a couple years and finally made the time to do it. Traxx runs all throughout our part of Utah. We caught it at Farmington Station and rode to downtown Salt Lake City. We walked around City Creek and got Zeppe's, but it was super duper cold!

 

Miles

Miles is growing so much. We often go on walks to wear him out and keep him busy since he misses everyone during the day. He loves to go down our street and take pictures with the horses and cows. He has also stopped taking naps, so when he does fall asleep, it's a treasured moment. 

There was one afternoon when he got all suited up to go out and play in the snow, but he was so tired he fell asleep on the stairs before he even went out!

Sledding

We got pretty much zero snow this winter. We kept waiting and waiting to go sledding near our house and one day there was finally enough to go, though it ended up being very crowded and muddy.

 

Quick Visit to Rigby

We took a quick trip to Rigby and celebrated Connor's birthday. We went sledding on pure ice at Rigby Lake and mini golfing at Fat Cats. The kids loved Grandma's hot tub!

 

Hogle Zoo

We managed to squeeze one more visit into the Zoo before our season pass expired. The kids really like the reptile house and the meerkats. It was a little chilly, though!
