There’s always a lot of fun when Grandma comes!
Here she & the kids are working on some Dot-to-Dot books. (This is usually the time when I battle with Chase to get his homework done. Somehow, Grandma motivated him to do all his homework in just a few minutes, so he had tons of time to just hang out! Grandmas are always full of tricks!)
Pausing to sing a little song
Grandma instilling a love of reading into the children
She showed me how to make a tasty minestrone soup. Very hearty & delicious.
We went to watch a Physics Show for kids at our alma mater, BYU. Chase & Charlotte liked checking out the statues & sculptures at BYU. We also got to discover where all the elevators & ramps are, since I’d brought the stroller!
I can’t even explain how ODD it felt to be walking around at BYU, toting three children along with me. It is so cliché, but honestly—WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?? I was just barely attending BYU as a single student! Could it really be that it was 10 years ago that I was starting school there (and meeting some of the best friends I’ve ever known)!?
On our way out, we stopped in at the Wilk for some bowling. It was enjoyable, but I think the munchkins would’ve been just fine having 3 turns instead of 10.
Chase was rather dramatic about it. He’d start really far back, run up, chuck the bowling ball, and fall flat onto the floor. No holding back there!
Intense focus. His expression here looks very Pace-ish!
My mom watched our kids so we could go out on Valentine’s Day. Pace surprised me by taking me out to a dinner & games night at the McGowans’ house. It was nice and relaxing.
Delicious food!
Pretty flowers from my Valentine
