Friday I met with Amy Hamblin to plan Primary Music stuff. I took my car to Burt Brothers for an emissions test. After school, I had EVERYone take a nap! We had so many recent late nights with the play that we all needed a little extra rest knowing we had two more late nights ahead of us. Brooklyn Ulmer babysat Alice and we all attended the show! Dave and Laurie's family, Abril and Lola and Eli, Mickelle, Jonathan, and Ms. Walters all came to watch also. McKenna said she was most excited to perform for her teachers. :)
Later, Dan went to a late night showing of Captain Marvel with Jonathan.
Saturday I went to an awesome Stake Women's meeting with Jenny Oaks Baker and Family Four! They played beautiful songs and bore strong testimonies. I took a slow-mo video of Ben dropping some helicopter leaves.
After lunch, Mickelle babysat while Dan and I went to McKenna's matinee show.
McKenna stayed at the school for dinner with the cast while we went to In N Out with the other kids, did baths, then came back to the school for one LAST performance! Once Dan was done flying McKenna, he took the other kids home to put them to bed. I stayed to watch with Mickelle and also stayed after to help strike the set.
The Darling Family!
We gave McKenna a "Never Grow Up" necklace. And I took a couple pictures of her on her bed and in the Lost Boys hide out.
They had a semi-professional photographer come take pictures during one of the dress rehearsals.
This video was from one of the dress rehearsal's for "I'm Flying!"
And here is a snippet of McKenna singing her main solo in the show "Distant Melody."
McKenna playing the part of Wendy Darling was certainly a growing experience for ALL of our family! We all had to commit to support her and she had to learn/practice how to handle some pretty major stress and fatigue! Overall McKenna loved it and had so much fun with the directors and her friends!
Sunday was my first time leading the music in Senior Primary and it was fun! I love being able to watch Sis. Hamblin lead the Jr. Primary first, then I can basically do what she does. :) Dan's parents came over for dinner that night and playing games afterwards.
Monday the kids did not have school due to a snow make-up day they didn't need to use. I got a picture of Alice nursing while up on her knees. Silly wiggly baby! I did a lot of cleaning and laundry and listening to my book club book. Ben went to Taggart's to play.
We packed a lunch and ate with Dan at his office. After that, we went to Alice's 1 year check-up!
Alice Katherine 1 Year Stats!
Height: 28.1in (1.6in increase in three months) 12th%
Weight: 18lbs 15oz (3lbs 2oz increase in three months) 30th%
Head: 75th%
After that, we went to the Zoo with Grandma, Grandpa, Abril and kids, Winegars, and Katie and Clara! We had beautiful weather and saw lots of animals.
Afterwards we met some of the husbands at Ugurt for pizza and dessert!
That night Dan and I did a little planning for our Spring Break.
Tuesday I exercised, went to Jan Evan's class and took my turn in the nursery again. McKenna went to a BD party for Olivia Stock at Boondocks. Bethany still had preschool. Then Ben, Anna, Alice and I got "special juice and bread" for lunch and headed to 5 Points Park to enjoy some more beautiful weather! Alice LOVED the swing! Ben also made wood chip art. :)
In the afternoon, I planned some stuff about George Washington for a Kindergarten activity I was going to help with.
Wednesday I had a BAD headache to start the day. Melissa Roth and I went ministering to Janel Barnes, then Alice and Bethany went to Grandma's house while I went to Anna's class to help with their Mount Rushmore Activity. I made a George Washington Bingo game. That afternoon, while Anna was at Let's Play Music, Brittana came over to play and I helped clean up the back yard a bit and the girls set up McKenna's fairy garden. They also spent some time in Jerry's tree house, then up to the Remington's circle to buy taffy and juice.
Thursday I exercised and Annie Wirthlin came over to play. I also practiced singing at Rachael's. Alice followed in the footsteps of her older siblings and began her job of emptying the kids dish drawer. :) After school Ben FaceTime interviewed Grandma Sibber about what it means to be a hero. It was a sweet conversation to witness as he asked her why she was so nice and kind to her grandchildren. She got emotional a couple times and I hope she felt special knowing she is one of my kids' heroes! Speaking of... :) Anna went on her BD date that night with Grandma and Grandpa and had a blast! Dinner, dress shopping, and donuts!
Alice has some new pretty sweet dance moves too!
