Feb. '18- Week 2- Olympics, Spelling Bee, U Bball, Braces Off, Valentine's Day, Jazz Game

Thursday after taking Anna to music I cleaned out and vacuumed the van.  McKenna and Ben had early out due to Parent/Teacher conferences.  McKenna also had rehearsal and Ben had music.  We had a chill evening where Ben worked on his Valentine's and we watched the Olympics.

Friday Bethany woke up with some pretty awesome bed head. We went to ladies lunch.  Ben and Anna went to play at the Alexander's.  That night we watched the Olympics opening ceremony and Skyped with my mom in FL.  Bethany had some fun with stickers while we watched.

Saturday morning Dan's stomach wasn't feeling too well so he stayed home with the kids while I went to the temple, then I went to get groceries.  Dan was feeling better in the afternoon so he went to help some neighbors install an attic air vent.  We gave the boys haircuts and then Mickelle came over to babysit while Dan and I went on a double date with the Alexander's to dinner and a Utah b-ball game.

Sunday was YW New Beginnings where we sang Peace in Christ.  We had Adam and Mickelle over for dinner that evening and watched more Olympics.

Monday my stomach didn't feel so good and I was pretty slow moving.  Dan went with McKenna and Ben to school to watch them participate in their school Spelling Bee.  They both did great!
McKenna spelled "bombastic" correctly in round one, but then got out in round two and misspelled the word "multiplicity."  Pretty sure she was competing against 5th and maybe even 6th graders too.

Ben's words started out with three letter words.  He made it to the 6th round but got out on the word "pesky."

After Anna's gymnastics she and Bethany played under the card table in a fort.  The kids worked on their Valentines, then after dinner the kids had a Nerf Gun fight, we had FHE, then Mickelle babysat while Dan and I went and visited Kaitlyn Pack (and husband, Riley, and Mama) to see Kaitlyn's new baby girl!

Tuesday morning McKenna got her braces off!!

She was brave even though it was painful and had nasty tastes.  And now she looks like a teenager!
Later, I went for another doctor's appointment and was at 2cm and 70%.  We also had our furnace serviced because it wasn't heating consistently.  That evening Dan had a free ticket to see the new Star Wars again in theaters, so he took Ben on a date.

Wednesday was Valentine's Day.  I watched Will and Desi Alexander for a bit in the morning.  The kids enjoyed going through all their Valentine's when they got home from school.  While I was making our fancy dinner, Dan and took a little snooze.  Anna needed it because she was coming down with a cold.
 After dinner, Dan took McKenna on a date to the Jazz game.  McKenna won two tickets (in the nose-bleed section) by writing an essay about what makes her a good student.
