February

This month was a good month! We had some snow, Paul actually did a really good job on Valentine's day, and Jude ate a whole salad by himself for the first time :). We also did swimming lessons this month for Jude and Violet.
Jude was pretty freaked out the first 2 lessons, and then he started to have fun. Violet is always into it. Paul even heard her teacher say to the other kids, "look at how good Violet is, be more like her". The last day of lessons was a "play day" and the pool had rafts out and had turned on the water umbrella and the slide. Only one other girl showed up in Jude's class so he was able to do a lot with his teacher. Violet went down the water slide all by herself, which is a big deal for her, she's pretty timid. Jude was excited to show me he could float in the deep water with a life jacket on.







Violet and daddy went to a Valentine's dance together. They had a lot of fun. This is the second year in a row they have gone. I think it will be a tradition from now on. You can tell from the
pictures she's way more interested in the crafts than the dancing.




We had our second snow storm of the winter. We LOVE snow, and wished we got more of it.






Cutest pictures of the month:

Still catching up...

January
Jude is now in primary. He made it in by about 8 hours :). He is doing well now. When I dropped him off he cried but I was told he was fine within 5 minutes. Violet is a CTR 4 girl. She is so good and loves going to primary. She loves to comfort Jude in sharing time if he ever gets a little upset. She also has memorized the first 3 articles of faith and we are working on the 4th.


We were so excited about the Duck's being in the national championship. We were pretty frustrated with the game (frickin slippery turf) and with the outcome. We were a little more sad than we thought we were gonna be when the game was over. We had to put a funny show to try to get ourselves out of the funk.
