More February/March updates..

We are full blown into the world of Scouting. Mike is the Webelos leaders.  A calling which he says is teaching or trying his patience!  Brandon earned his Wolf and is earning belt loops and arrow points…..
 Pack Meeting was Olympic themed with bobsleds, luge, etc out in the halls for the boys to try-out.
 Then, the awards were given to the boys, leaders and the Primary presidency with gold medals.  So fun!
 Below is the girls I serve with. Ann Smith, President and Shanna Barker 1st counselor.  We also have Missy Couser as Secretary, but she didn't have to be to pack meeting.  Love these girls!

 Another picture of St George. I told Amanda this was how to get down from this steep rock….now what?
 Another dance comp this weekend.  This one was at Weber State where the Clytie Adams ballet recitals are held. Amanda was feeling melancholy for a bit.  I should have brought my nice camera, but the emails beforehand said no photography. Turns out it was flash photography and the house lights were on…which would have been the perfect time to take some action shots! Oh well…my phone did ok :)  Above is her contemporary routine….She's on the far right.  Below is her Jazz routine picture taken by her teacher.  Amanda is on the front row second from left.
 And her hip-hop routine which is so fun!  We have Christian the only guy in the comp stuff.  He teaches Sydney's rectial hip hop class. Super nice kid and super talented!  He's up front with the red hair.
 Amanda does so great at hip hop! So does Sydney. I think this is their favorite way to dance.
 The great thing about our studio is that our hip hop routines aren't raunchy.  Some studios think hip hop has to be hard and ghetto….ours is light and fun and we always win with our hip hop routines.
 This dance took an overall high point winner!!
 I was in the wrong place to get good pictures of Amanda. She is just off center and one row back….right behind Ally who is to the right of Christian…another amazing dancer and super nice girl.
 Nick and Hayden came to watch the girls and were awesome sports. They sat through 5 hours of dance just to see 4 dances.  Liz, on the left, did her hip hop routine and then Maddy and Amanda had 3 dances.
 The after pictures!  Hayden wanted to show his flexibly….but the real dancers are Amanda, Lyric, Maddy, Liz, Ally and Christian!
 I went with Sydney on her 6th grade snowshoeing field trip. Super fun! The day was amazingly sunny and warm and it was so great to be in the mountains and being able to spend time with Sydney!

 A few pictures while we were stopped.  Above, Abby and Nicole are in the front, the back row is Emma, Gracie, Addy and Sydney.  The second picture is missing Abby.

 Stopping for a snack break and another picture….still my iPhone….should have brought the nice camera, but I didn't know how far we'd have to hike and didn't want to drop the camera accidentally.
 More of Emma, Sydney and Addy.  After lunch, we headed to the big slide hill. We didn't have sleds, but the kids had on ski pants, etc and they were great for sliding down. The hill is quite big and steep. The pictures don't do it justice.  Sydney went down 22 times!

 They went as a train mostly.  On this time, Michael jumped on halfway down….he's crazy.




 She had a great time and we spent a good 1-1.5 hours sliding.  Good times and good memories!

 And last….Max had a birthday!  He's now 5 years old :)
