Good Times

I was kind of bummed Sunday afternoon. I had to go to work, and I REALLY wanted to stay home with my family and watch the Superbowl. As I pulled into American Fork, the radio station KSOP announced that they were going to give away tickets for the Valentine's Day movie to the 10th caller. I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed their number. After about 4 or 5 tries, I was finally able to get through. And guess what ...I won. Yay! Aaron and I now have a date for Friday night.

I picked up the tickets at KSOP's office yesterday in SLC. Their office and my Dad's work (Printelligent AKA Franklin Covey) is really close. I decided that since I was in the neighborhood, I might as well call my dad. My Dad was so sweet. He gave me directions to get to his office, and he met us at the door. We got an amazing tour and we got to meet several of my dad's friends. The picture above is my dad's desk/cubicle.

I think this is one of their printers. Bree was a little uneasy by all of these machines.

This was inside the warehouse. A lot of assembly lines in here. I've never seen so many dayplanners in my life. Thanks for the tour Dad. My girls and I had a wonderful time!

McD's

I took my girls out to lunch today. We met up with Grandma Walker, Aunt Deana, and their cousin Jessie. We went to Mcdonalds in Lehi. They recently updated their playground. My girls thought it was great and had a wonderful time. Here are some pics from our visit.Alyssa loved her chocolate chip cookie the best

Abby ate most of her meal, but then she was just "Too full to finish"

Bree of course had to follow her sister. This was the best that she could do.

Watch Out For Those Girls

Andrew had a little accident Monday morning at school. While he was at recess, he slipped on the ice and did a face plant in the snow. He scraped up his nose and cut his gum. Aaron has been teasing him all week saying "Poor Andrew! A little girl beat him up at school." Andrew gets so mad. I have to laugh.

Organizational Skills

Over the weekend, Aaron and I tried to become a little more organized. We cleaned our basement and did a little more deep cleaning than usual. Abby had so much fun helping, that Monday morning she decided to organize her closet. She found the match to every shoe. Kudos to Abby. Now I need to make a trip to the DI. :)

My kids have done a lot of artwork lately that I want to remember.

Aaron asked Brody to draw a picture of himself. Then he asked him to write his name.

Here's a little story Andrew wrote at school. Isn't he "Awesome"

Pinewood Derby

Saturday was Andrew's Pinewood Derby. Andrew was so excited for this event. He's been counting down the days for the last 2 weeks. Andrew competed in four races. He took 3rd place in the first 3 races and 4th in the last race. He was kind of disappointed, but I think he did pretty well since it was his first Pinewood Derby.

Andrew got the "Most Exceptional" award. Way to go Andrew

Brody's Individual Education Plan

Yesterday I went to Brody's IEP meeting. I had a wonderful time talking with Brody's teacher and all of his therapists. We came up with a lot of goals for Brody to work toward. I'm excited to see where this year will take him.
