Our kids wanted to go see The Greatest Showman movie SOOO Bad. So Ben decided to take them. They went on a Monday night so I took Tiago and Millie to my basketball game and then we came home and made popcorn and watched chicken Little! SUPER FUN 🙂
Shannon chose to go to the temple! in Ogden! on January 27th!
I’m so glad that I got to go and be there with her and with so much family!
and the street taco bar and hanging out were the perfect touch to a perfect day:
My dad and the Eggers all left on Sunday but mom and Tracie stayed for a week of fun. Monday we went shopping and then to the movie night at the school that evening.
Tuesday we watched Gus and all went to visit the aunts. That night we went to The Greatest Showman with mom, Tracie, LaNell, Jana, Sean, Joel and Megan.
Wednesday we played Nertz all morning with Erica and Becky and then we kept playing games the rest of the day. I went to Pack Meeting with Packer and Ben and Benji went to their meetings.
Thursday: More games and books. Tracie got her hair done. Mom spent time with her sisters throughout the week also.
Friday we cleaned a little and waited for everyone to fly in for another weekend of fun. Dad, Christy, Josh, Mal, Brady and John. We met up with Shannon and Tommi in Salt Lake for dinner.
Saturday was a day at the temple and Sunday we cried cause EVERYONE left.
TWINS! I love my HAPPY FAMILY. and my fav food right now:
more wrestling in this house:
Tiago enjoying the tiny bit of snow. and Sunday tickles from Dad.
Benji gets all of his school work done on his own! He checks his grades and makes sure he is getting A’s – He’s a great 7th grader!
What happened to my baby??? Tiago is SO BIG now! He understands everything and just plays hard all day! Look how much he’s grown in just a month…
WHo doesn’t ride bikes in the house? and these guys LOVe having friends over:
Most of the month of January was spent mastering the hoverboard and mini segway! Even Millie can cruise on that thing!
A friendly round of Stinky Sock – Tiago’s favorite game:
My necklace that I got from my mom from Grandma Johnson’s Jewelry Box!
And my boy is learning to write! and he loves to play games, WITH ME:
State Wrestling Tournament was January 26th and 27th! I went and watched Packer wrestle on Friday. Ben and Grandpa Netty cheered and coached. He wrestled 5th-6th Grade bracket, 60-64 lbs. His first match up was against the guy that won the bracket. Packer survived the first round and then he got pinned. His 2nd guy pinned him in the first round 🙁 Packer was excited to be there though and proud of his hard work and improvement.
Benji wrestled early Saturday morning. I wasn’t there to take pictures 🙁 I decided to go to the Temple with Shannon instead) Ben and Grand[a Netty were there. He wrestled in the 7th, 8th, 9th grade bracket at 104-108. He got beat pretty bad on both of his match ups.
Ray wrestled Saturday evening in the Kindergarten 40-43 bracket. They did a round robin and he beat all 3 guys! He pinned the first 2 and then won by points on the last one! Ben and I and Grandpa Netty and Michelle and Udine were there to watch.
Shae and Tyler decided they needed a Utah reception! so Christy came out a few days early to help prep and play with our kids 🙂
On Friday Mom and Tracie and Kelsey and Joel all came over – Our little kids had a blast with Tracie and Joel’s kids. Later on Dad and Rob and Camden and Carter flew in.
Saturday morning we got a little bit of snow! I had a church meeting and Eggers were busy with Shae and Mom and Dad went with them so… the kids convinced Tracie and Kelsey and Ben that they needed to play in the snow 🙂 (Benji had the Klondike that Friday night – no pics)
Ben and I took Cali to her Futsal game and then met some of the crew at the church to make sure everything was set for the wedding reception.
We had a little time for Headis and Darts and fun before the reception:
And then we enjoyed and evening with family and friends at the reception:
My dad and his siblings! We drank hot chocolate and ate donuts and danced and talked all night:
THE END!

Cali loves to sing. The other kids want to play the switch or tablet but Cali usually just wants to listen to her music. Memorize lyrics. Make up dance routines. She loved learning the Christmas song at school. She would come home and practice. Repeat, repeat.
She has most of the Greatest Showman Soundtrack memorized. They got a Google Home Mini is their room for Christmas so now she can listen ALL the time.
She is also really good with THE KIDS.
Her teacher said she is Great at school. She is always on task and killing it at Math.
She still has her braces on. They closed the gap on top and they are still moving the bottom tooth into place.
We have been reading Mr. Poppers Penguins together at night. I’m usually so exhausted by bedtime but I am trying to hang in there with the kids for that extra bedtime hour.
Rose is our 7 year old perfectionist. No matter what she is doing she wants to do it WELL. This can be a really good trait and helps her excel but it also holds her back a little because she doesn’t want to mess up. She was a pretty cute 100 year old Grandma this week:
I just wanted to document what the kids are reading.
Packer – Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Big Nate, Wonder. Got sick of Harry Potter on book 2.
Benji – read every Brandon Mull book! EVERY SINGLE ONE. Better than HP even though he is a big HP fan! He has also read Rick Riordan. He is reading the Beyonders now.
Cali is trying to read all of the Battle of the Books books. She and I have been reading Mr. Poppers Penguins at night when we get to bed on time.
Rose has started to like to read. She and I are trying to read together but I need more hours in my day.
Millie just listens to whatever the girls are doing.
Ray and Tiago have piles of books on their beds that they “read” at night 🙂
