Pete convinced Casey to join him for his school ski day on Feb 3rd. It was a sunny day, and they had a great time in the slopes!
Pete started basketball and has had games the last three Saturdays. The first week Pete had a double header. His team lost both games that morning. Last week his team won their game! Pete made a few baskets and played hard. Yesterday Pete got to have some of his grandparents come see his game. He and his team fought hard, but lost in the end. Pete's team is lacking a bit, so this season will not be a lot of wins, but for sure a lot of growth will be happening.
Casey and I got in a date night the first weekend of February. We went to dinner with friends then we attended the adult session of Stake Conference. A lot of our spare time is together working on the house and I'm so grateful we get to build this dream together!
The girls basketball team ended up losing in district so their season ended prematurely. Sad / (not so sad to have Casey back for a bit longer. . . Till track starts. ; )
Valentines was simple this year, we heart attacked the kids' rooms (and even Grandpa Loosle), made treats, and had a nice meal that evening. Alice had her class party on the morning and I went back that afternoon to play "don't eat Pete" with Pete's class for his party.
This month started off trying desperately to get the drywall to set (ended up borrowing half a dozen big fans from ward members to get things dry), as well as working on siding. Our focus the last couple of weeks was trim work and painting, with my dad helping us the last couple of weeks and David here for a week. I'm so grateful for their help and very thankful that my Mom and Anica have dealt without them so much these past weeks / months. We can see the finish line but still have so much to do!! We've got this!!!
(I'll order these once I have proper internet and not just my phone ; )
