Dad and Sons Night Out

I need a better picture but Uncle Mikes first time with Walker.

And then the boys headed out to watch the Jazz v. Celtics game.

Here I am at work on my last official day (although I may work from home for the next couple of weeks and come back for interviews) It was pretty hard to leave behind. I was really proud of this job. Last year I almost didn't apply because I didn't think I would be good enough, but as it turns out, I was really great at it. Maybe some day I will have a job like this again, but I wouldn't trade the opportunity to be home with my kids. I am so excited!

My office. A little messy as I was already packing things up.

Cafe Peanut Butter Sandwich

Art did a Princess Dinner for Grace last night. She was so excited!

He greeted her as "The Mister" as Grace calls it.

And then sat her at the table. There were candles in paper bags all the way to the table and then candles on the table. It was very cool!

He pulled out her chair (and mine) and she thought it was so cool!

She couldn't believe it! Some funny parts, w asked her what the restaurant was called and she said "Peanut Butter Sandwich" When The Mister asked her what kind of dressing she wanted on her salad, she pulled on her dress and said I am already dressed. She had too much fun, ordering and being polite. I loved it!

We had Chips and Salsa as an appetizer, then salad, then hamburger patties and rice, and finally Strawberry Shortcake for Dessert.

Daddy joined us for dinner but had to leave a lot to "go to the bathroom" (Grace and Daddy)

Grace and the Mister.

He even escorted her "back to her house"

Walker did pretty good too.

Special Olympics Polar Plunge

Art did the Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics. They had to dress up so Art went as Mario. He raised over 300 dollars and had the most in his group. He did it with the Park City Police Department. I was so excited to go and watch.

But this happened and I didn't want to drive with the kids in the car so we missed it.

Here he is jumping in.

His group!

When he got home and had to do the driveways, Grace went out to play. She is so silly!

Why not a little Garage Golf!

But mostly we stayed inside and did this!

A little painting!

And just smiled and had fun together. What cute kiddos!

Kiddos

Walker is getting so big. He is such a cute little man!

I had a follow up Dr. Appointment the other day and the kiddos came with me. We waited forever (because somehow we got forgotten) but they did a really good job. Grace insisted upon wearing her tiara out. I love her spirit!

They are just too amazing! Grace was playing pretend hide and seek and tag with Walker the other day. I had one of those moments while watching where you are just so happy that your heart races. I feel so blessed!
