Family ski day

These four darlings, plus Jacob (the lovely photographer), spent the day skiing today.
It's a sad ski season in Utah this year for sure. But I'm so glad they could spend the time together.
Oh man, we could use some significant moisture in our little state.

(Nate was on his own ski trip with a friend and his parents, so while he was missed, we were glad he was having fun.)

Another tournament win for Nate

 And then in more stud news of the weekend...this boy won the championship of his
St. George soccer tournament Saturday! And scored the most amazing goal to ignite the team
and get them fired up. Oh I love him and his incredible heart and his choice to work his head
off to become the MOST amazing soccer player. Love this Nate boy so much.

Another tournament win for Ben

Look at this guy who took FIRST PLACE in his tournament today! Out of 35 players and
playing 40 holes. I'm especially impressed with this win, with him coming off of a significant
injury the last few months of 2025. It was a pretty big tournament for sure and I'm so proud of
this boy who works his head off to compete in this sport he loves. Oh this Ben Allen, I'm a fan.

College bound

This stud got the news a few days ago that not only was he admitted to BYU, but he also received a
scholarship to help pay for expenses. We’re so proud of him and who he chooses to be and his insane
amount of hard work the last several years. All three schools he got into are tremendous and it will be
exciting to see where life takes him the next many months. He’s so amazing. I’m so honored to be his mom.

An evening of ballet

This sweetest girl, went to Ballet West's performance of Peter Pan last night, because of the generosity
of one of the school play directors who gave us tickets to the performance, as a thank to Grace for helping
choregraph one of the main dances of the school play this year. It was just such a kind thing to do.

The athleticism and talent of these dancers was unreal. I couldn't get over it. And now,
many months into dancing pointe, Grace had a small idea how incredible it was what
these dancers were doing. I loved watching her filled with so much happiness
and awe. It was a good night. I'm so thankful I could experience it with our girl.

7th grade

This beautiful girl registered for 7th grade last night. Our sixth and final time.
I'm so blown away that we are here with our youngest already. But she is definitely ready.
Love her and her amazing, fun, hilarious, darling self more than I can say.
