End of January business

The day Jude was baptized, we also had his pinewood derby!


Jude's car is the red and gold one with the fidget spinner on top.



His car did pretty well! It placed not last in all of his races.  I'd call that a win!

While we were there, Lily brought me this tiny thing:
Yes, that is a dead mouse. Apparently she found it in the corner of the cultural hall and decided she needed to pick it up. No worries, we threw it away and WASHED OUR HANDS! 

Jude with his car!


We try to go to the gym most days of the week. These girls are my little buddies while the boys are in school and love to play with all the ladies in the Kidszone.



Selfies! Love these peanuts of mine!




We have a few giftcards to JUMP we've accrued from friends over the years and I started taking the kids to jump for an hour while Lance has scouts. They think it's the best thing ever and since it's not a Saturday, they usually have the place to themselves. We were watching a little friend of Cole's for a couple days while his mom had surgery and brought him along, too.







Lance had his first band concert! It lasted all of 15 minutes, but was super fun to see these kids play actual songs when they've only had the instrument in their hands for a few months. Lance was playing the trumpet, but has mentioned that he would like to maybe switch it up and play percussion instead. We'll see!


A perk of having a doctor for a dad: when you fall and bust your head open, he can staple it back together for you, leaving only the tiniest of scars. Poor Lily fell and hit her head on the corner of our TV stand and had a deep gash. 4 staples and a week later, it looks like this! Win!

Jude is Baptized!

On January 27th, Jude was baptized! 

Grandma, Grandpa Glenn, GiGi, Laura's family and Grandmom and Pop Pop came to be part of it. We are so lucky to have so much family.












It was a lovely program. GiGi spoke about Baptism.

Grandma keeping the little ones busy...



Grandpa Allred wrote a talk about the Holy Ghost and emailed it to me so I could read it for him. It was very sweet and tender.


After the baptism, we had refreshments for everyone. 

Jude LOVES his Grandmom!

I wish we could have seen Grandmom and Pop Pop longer, but they had to run back home right afterwards. They are amazing for coming!

George made an amazing dinner that night, but since most of our family couldn't make it, we invited the Knights and the Elmers to come over and eat with us. My mom, Glenn, and GiGi came, too!

The next day was Sunday. Mom and Glenn and GiGi came to church with us!

Lexi has been having trouble in Nursery (its only her third week or so), so Mom stayed with her and snapped this picture.

After church, we came home and made special gingerbread cookies. GiGi had brought a mix for the kids and Lily insisted we cook them "right now".



Thanks, GiGi! The kids had so much fun making their own gingerbread ninjas!

Cousin time

I can't remember why we came up to Northern Virginia mid-week, but we had a good time playing with our cousins! Laura took us to a local park in Herndon where the kids had a blast playing together.











We also got to go to dinner with Grandma! We sure miss her!
