 Life Lately!


On New Year's Day we played Monopoly. It took hourssss. When I lost I curled up on the couch and took a nap. Hammer made a giant sandwich during the game:

I still find funny carrot pants at work:
Hammer sprouted some seeds in his Christmas gift:
Friday Field Trip #1: Thrifting! Adz LOVED this activity. TJ thought it was ok after he found a lemur stuffy:

Since Walmart is across the street I also got the boys some slushies:
I decided to watercolor every Wednesday and called it Watercolor Wednesday. Here are two of them from January: 

Friday Field Trip #2: Checking out the animals for sale at Petsmart and Petco. TJ was sad I wouldn't buy him a fish, but we had a fun time:

When Hammer was at his birthday game in Logan we watched Ander:
Gramma and Grandpa came up for ribs dinner for their Christmas gift:
I saw that our Get Out Pass let us get into a movie for free on a Tuesday. We went to Anaconda and it was also National Popcorn day so we got free popcorn!:
We liked the movie.
We had a small earthquake one morning! Only TJ and I felt it:
TJ finally got his eyes checked. He needs glasses:
Friday Field Trip #3: The Library. The boys weren't super excited about this one, but it ended up being fun because they played games on the computers in there, chose a book, and I chose a movie for each of them that they hadn't seen:
Stopping at the grocery store for movie treats:
Dad started practicing piano again!:
The cute snowmen at work that we named. My favorite is Sloppy Joe, and I made him sloppy with yellow post it note paper:
TJ got his glasses!:
We have had very little snow. This is the one day that we got a tiny bit and it was also very foggy:
Friday Field Trip #4: Frozen Farmington Pond. We had fun feeding the ducks and geese frozen corn and walking on the ice. You boys also spent lots of time throwing rocks and chunks of ice across the ice:






We watched Ander another time while John was gone for 1 night. I always have cute pictures of Ander on my phone when we watch him:
4.0 meals for these two boys was a whole Domino's pizza and a smoothie from McDonald's:

TJ was able to cut open his own geodes on Unle Jeff's friend's saw. It was a cool experience!:
Here are our two geodes. The smaller one is a double!:
The end!
