Lucy decided that she was “Rapunzel in her tower” tonight. She had one of Eric’s dish towels that she used as her hair and his tall bar stool was her tower. She had us pretty convinced!

Tim wanted to hike Adams Canyon one last time before he leaves. Add a bit of snow and ice, and it made for quite an adventure! Check out this tree!The view from the top was well worth it!

Uncle Eric makes the most amazing clam linguine! Top it off with a bowl full of ice cream afterwards, and he has won this little girl’s heart!

William has thoroughly enjoyed taking many adventures with Eric. Eric has taken him under his wing and showed/taught William SO much about the outdoors. William is loving every minute of it!Today, they went snow fishing. The cold fingers and snow did not stop their persistence for success. And success they found! They caught several nice trout.

Lucy absolutely LOVES The Treehouse Museum. She has been begging to go back for a while. Now that everyone is FINALLY well, we made the trip for our date day.Every time we go, there is always something new to discover. This time, we found their insects in the forest. I don’t know how I’ve missed this are the past several times we have been. It is absolutely adorable. Lucy loved examining the insects under the magnifying glasses. Of course she had to visit the doll room too. That is where we spend most of our time, and today was no exception. I hope there is something similar to this museum down south when we move.

Tonight, we had the wonderful opportunity of going through the temple with Tim before he leaves on his mission to the Philippines on Wednesday. We had a beautiful time together and he was able to complete the work for my dad, someone whom he loved dearly, and I know my dad felt the same way about Tim. Moments like this will never be forgotten!

After her haircut, we caught this beautiful sun rainbow in the sky. We have seen some amazing acts of nature here in Utah. It truly is amazing!After, we headed to Alex’s school for Meet he Masters. Lu is quite the helper. 😆

Lucy’s hair has really started growing the past few months. We decided that is was finally time for another trim. Her hair is still pretty sparse, but I KNOW that will not last. It is so funny how similar she has been to how Nattie was at this age. Today Lu had to have the special hair “smell” and sparkles. She even had the hairdresser give Rapunzel glitter as well.After her hair was cut, Lucy did not want to leave. It has been super hard not to have a place to play for her at home. Since I had a bit of time to spare, I let her run through the play space for a bit. She can be SO silly! She loves to make other people laugh. I just love her budding little personality. She kept finding ways to surprise me, and then would crack up. So goofy!

The kids have absolutely enjoyed having snow this winter! Everyone said that we were going to get sick of it. Other than getting stuck my first time driving in it, it has actually been really nice. Lucy LOVES to go sledding, every time possible! Today, she talked William and Natalie into helping her. They made several trips together. Then they rigged her up by herself. 😱I was NOT expecting her to go down lying down!I panicked as she shot down the top of the hill like a bullet. Only to see her cracking up laughing as she passed by me. (I guess the mom instinct will always be there.)William made Lucy the cutest little “snow cake.” They had a great time playing “birthday party” until Lucy decided to take one of her exploration trips. This kid just cracks me up. Sometimes she get in her exploration mode and she is all of a sudden a big kid, can go wherever she wants (so she thinks), and needs absolutely no help. She still has to be told that trespassing on someone else’s property is not okay, though. 😂Lucy decided that Uncle Eric’s bush made the best snow lounger. Anytime she wanted a break from the fun, this was where she would go.

Natalie and Wii were playing Life, when Lucy decided she was “going to be creepy.” 😂
