Bits of February

In addition to our reading party, and our valentine's date (which I already blogged about), there were a few other things I want to record from February.  I'll do it mainly with photos...

We made a trip to Cheyenne where Tony had a Farm Bureau conference. We were able to spend two nights at Little America, and then a night at Matt and Ashby's house (Tony's brother and his wife). We hung out with cousins, played at a park, and had a great time. And I was lame and only took one photo: the kids lounging on the hotel bed.

Mylie has started playing the piano on her own a lot more lately. Here she is multi-tasking. Lewis seems to like the music a lot.

I made a quilt for Lewis. I decided to get out all 5 baby quilts I've made for my kids and snap a picture of them all together. Top to bottom, we have Connor, Mylie, Brady, Mariah, and Lewis. This is about the only thing I know how to make, but at least they each have one keepsake they can take with them that is something home-made.

Mylie got brave and chopped her hair off. It turned out so incredibly cute!  She donated the hair to make wigs for kids with cancer.

Finally, the three big kids got to go skiing. We had bought 4 passes to Beaver Mountain at a fundraiser raffle last fall. Originally, Tony was going to go with them since I am nursing Lewis, which makes a day skiing pretty impossible. Then we decided that since Mariah has only gone once, we needed to bring the expert teacher along, so Livi was invited. Then Tony hurt his back and couldn't go, so Livi got the kids all to herself all day while Lewis and I hung out at the lodge.  They love Livi and they love skiing, so of course, it was a fabulous day!
