February at a glance

 

We got our new family pictures ordered and received! 

We love how they turned out

 

 Gemma and Ella, er,

Elsa and Anna

Gemma has many great friends in Anthem

 

 Gemma and her dance class. This was the last day with her first teacher Miss Desi.

 This is what happens when dad sits down to watch TV.
 He's got lots of buddies

 Bowling! Looks like Jaxon got a lot of pins down

 We are happy!

 Go Kodee!

The walk-up

 The swing

 The let go

 Gemma and her helper (The ramp)

 Lottie the cheerleader

She was all over the place and I could barely sit down for a minute

Life of a toddler

Gemma loves to color and does really well with staying in the lines..until she doesn't.

Occasionally she colors herself with marker

Just had to document how Lottie sleeps

bum up

Dad relaxing after teaching and coaching all day

At the big Anthem park

Gemma wanted to be buried

Looking awesome!

Miley wanted to be buried after

 Another gorgeous day found the kids and me at the park
Lottie's mouth full of Ritz and juice

 

Time for the yearly huge heart sugar cookies I make.

looks yummy dad!

 Lottie eating her creation

 Gemma is queen of sprinkles; she never has enough

 Kodee putting on little sugar hearts

 You want more sugar?!

 I'm here too piping away

 Finished product. It took me days to finish eating


this bad boy

 OH. MY. GOODNESS! Jordan got me this gorgeous table set for my Valentine's present.
I'm in love!
I came home one day to find Jordan and the neighbor carrying in the boxes
No more old mismatched table that bent down at the ends.
And it has a table insert with two additional chairs

(We do find out later that it scratches really easily) :(

 Our new pics in Jordan's office

 Jordan went to JAZZ/MAD festival Valentine's weekend and got to see Sydney

 The women's group got a Superior rating
Jordan thinks it was due to his direction on the Jazz side
I think so too. Way to go!

 

Gemma bringing in dad's luggage

Look mom, I'm strong!
The kids loved playing in the huge boxes the table and chairs came in.

President's Day weekend Jordan and the kids had off so we decided to take a quick trip to see Grandma.
I guess we were tired

 

Grandma getting some Keith kids' love

 

I think Lottie had too much.

Thanks for the weekend mom!

 Jordan captured a great shot of the pool and Community Center.
I can't believe we live here!

 I found some bubble containers that the kids loved one evening

 Gemma loved catching them

Lottie kept coming up to me all excited and would scream in my face

Yay! or bubble or something equally thrilling

(The huge boxes ended up outside. The kids made some good little houses out of them. It took us months to cut them up and get them in the recycling bin)

Next up-Our trip to Salt Lake for a family get together/ACDA Convention.
