February

Well, February has now come and gone! February came in just a as expected, a little chaotic. The first weekend of the month Brookelyn had a Cheer Competition and Camden had a ski race. So we divide and conquer for this one. Blake took care of Camden, getting him to his race at Brighton, I took care of Brookelyn, getting her to Riverton for her competition. It actually worked out so after Camden raced, Blake hurried down the canyon and was able to see Brookelyn perform. Thank heavens for Camden's coach who let him hang with her the rest of the day, since we couldn't pull him away from the mountain yet. Camden skied great, even with the poor visibility that day. Brookelyn's team also did great, if I remember right they took 3rd that day.

On the 7th we got to spend the day with the Kotter's since they blessed their cute little Avery Jo. What a cutie she is. My girls certainly can't get enough of her. It was a great day and always nice to spend the time with family.

On President's Day, the 15th, we headed up for some skiing. We met up with some friends and family that day for some good times on the mountain. It is fun to be able to ski with Camden for the day, since he is usually skiing with his coach. He is not afraid to try any hill (unlike me!) I'm so glad my kids have been able to learn to ski at a young age, so they don't have to try and learn when they are older, like me.

February 17th was Brookelyn's birthday! She is 11 years old, WOW! Brookelyn got some fun new clothes along with a few other things for her birthday. We celebrated that night with dinner at our favorite place, Arella Pizzeria. She is growing up too fast. Such a cute girl and so fun to be with. We love having her as part of our family.




As soon as the birthday celebrations were done, Brookelyn and I headed off to Dallas for more cheerleading fun, with good friends Berklee and Keri. We left on the afternoon of the 19th, arriving in Dallas just in time for the run through with the team. We cut it way too close, since we had a little flight delay. The girls cheered Saturday and did great, they were in 6th place the end of day Saturday. They then cheered again Sunday and fixed some things, but dropped a couple stunts and ended up in 9th at the end of the competition. Overall the girls did great considering this was the biggest competition they have ever attended. Here are some pictures of the girls having some fun in Dallas!























While we were in Dallas, Camden had another ski race. This one was at Snowbasin. He had a lot of spectators come cheer him on this time. It is so fun to have such supportive family and friends. I think he enjoyed the extra attention and getting to ski with the cousins. Man he loves that speedsuit!




We finished off the month with spending the last weekend in Ogden Valley again. Camden had training at Snowbasin, so we all skied for the morning. Then after lunch the girls and I went to hang out with my family at the environmental center. We got to do some cross country skiing, which is way different than downhill. We had never done that before, but made it without falling too much. We also played a little ping pong and the kids had snow wars with Uncle Chad. What a good sport.
Phew!!! We made it through another crazy month.
