Visit With The Kreitzer Family

Logan loves his cousin.

My sister and her family decided to come visit us the weekend of Aurora's Spring Show. We had a wonderful visit and I was able to meet my newest niece. Their girls are both adorable. We were able to all go swimming at the hotel they were staying at. 

Spring Show

Aurora had a blast learning her numbers for the spring show this year. She loves to skate for an audience. But most of all she looks forward to being able to do a solo in a spring show, which she can do as soon as she learns her axle. She is working on learning her axle now and she hopes to land it by the end of summer.  She doesn't mind skating with others but prefers to skate alone because she can skate fast and doesn't have to worry about others getting in her way. There were a few times that I had to remind her to be patience with those she was skating with. She has made such great progress and we love watching her skate and she talks about skating all the time. She is currently getting ready for her next competition and it can't come soon enough. As soon as she get off the ice from a competition she is ready to go again. She will tell anyone and everyone that she loves to skate but she loves competing even more. We are so very thankful that she has such a wonderful coach who always pushes her to new levels. Lastly, I should add that Joseph made the above X-men costume. We are lucky to have him.

Cute Kiddos

These are the cute kiddos I get to spend my day with. Logan loves having so many little ones at our house everyday. It is good for Logan to experience  what it is like having a baby around. We love them all so much. The nice thing is that they are all school teacher children so Joseph, the kids, and me get all summer and vacations off together. It is sure nice only working 180 days a year!  

Science Fair

Avery did an awesome job on his science fair and was awarded the Superior Award this year. Avery learned a lot from the mistakes that he made along the way. Joseph was there to show Avery how to make graphs in excel and to highlight mistakes that Avery had made in his writing but Joseph and I let Avery figure things out for himself. Each year we try to do less and less so that Avery can continue to grow and learn. We are so very proud of this boy of ours.

Valentines Day

We celebrated Valentines Day the week after my birthday since Brady was in town the week before. We went out and had some of the goodness above. I could eat sushi every day!

34th Birthday

My birthday weekend was laid back and easy. My brother in-law was in town for the weekend visiting. We all went to Salt Lake for a 3DS meetup and then out to eat at one of our favorite hole in the wall places, The Philadelphian. Joseph made a cheesecake that we all enjoyed later that evening. 

Aurora gave me a card. She wrote a poem in it. It is as follows: "I love you more than ice cream and cake, your better than an ice cream shake. And your smoothies are good and flattering too. You helped me learn to tie my shoe. Happy Birthday Mom. You are the best mom ever."

I loved this card and will treasure it always.
