January 2018

January weather has been un real.  It has been so warm most days.  We hardly have any snow which is sad for skiing and hard for the summer.  But here are a couple of highlights.  

Tyler and Ella switched school this month.  After almost 4 years of driving into Sandy for school we are switching to our home schools.  Draper has great schools.  We loved Spanish Immersion but it wasn't working for our whole family. Before Tyler left Union he got student of the month.  We were super proud of him.  He's a great student.  He will continue with classes in Spanish at Corner Canyon High school and then I will drive him back to the Middle school.  Ella goes to Draper Elementary now and can do more Spanish in Middle school. 

Tyler already had a cool scare from a terrible bike crash a year ago... this month he added a dog bite to his arm.  Not looking good... but good??? stories!

January was full on ski team time.  2-3 days a week we were driving to Sundance to ski.  Even with very little snow we still had practices.  It always looks like a bomb went off when we get home from skiing.  The moon was amazing one night.  I wish a camera could have captured it.  We see some amazing sun rises too.  And also some shenanigans.  

I didn't get these two old friends smiling and looking at me because I didn't to ruin a moment.  Fluke and Dalls have been friends since elementary school.  He's a good man.  He married Kate who is amazing and they have Abby who we all adore.  I called Kate when I got home from the hospital and asked if it was ok to name our daughter Abby.  I have never met a bad Abby. The girls all did a play which is a new favorite play time.  Ang gave Ella her first guitar lesson.  Ella is so excited.  

Abby loves her preschool.  She loves her friends too.  Olivia. We had Balls cousins over one warm weekend.  Always fun to have them here.  We have had one weekend of snow.  But other than that... its warm and dry.
