Ice Skating

Yesterday Ahlynn's preschool had an ice skating field trip. Mommy had the pleasure to take both Jackson and Ashlynn by herself because Daddy had a business meeting...he knew what he was doing. We took more time getting ice skates on than the time we spent on the rink. Jackson did not like it one bit and wanted to go home. Ashlynn did a good job staying on her skates except when she wanted to be like Jacks and lay on the rink...and of course pose for the camera. If you look close enough the one picture is of all three of us, but Jacks was hiding because he was not happy being there. I did get one picture of him smiling before he decided ice skating was not his thing. That was the the first and probably the last time we go ice skating...at least for Jacks.

Trip to Saint George

We took a trip to Saint George for a few days with the Blackham's. It was a nice little break from the snow. The kids had so much fun with their cousins. We spent time at the park everyday playing basketball and tennis. We went to hike around Red Rock which the kids loved. Mom and Dad would have enjoyed it more without worrying about someone falling and getting hurt. Ashlynn and Jackson kept posing for the camera everytime they climbed a new rock.

The Fairbanks grand kids cannot go to Saint George without going swimming at least once while they are there so one day we went to Washington County Rec Center one day. The kids had so much fun swimming. It was nice because there was only a couple other kids there.

Valentine's Week

Valentine's week was full of fun. We started the week off with a party at the college. They made Valentine boxes, decorated cookies, and much more. Ashlynn's favorite part was frosting her cookie and eating the frosting off the plastic knife that everyone was to use...at least she did not double dip. Jackson and Ashlynn both had fun parties at their schools. They finished the week off with a Primary Party without Mom & Dad which was a first and had tons of fun. We cannot forget Grandma & Pa and Grandma & Grandpa Dye for all the fun Valentine stuff...especially the money...they are their parents' kids. LOL
