March 2022

 Google did some great "Then and Now's" this month:

The younger three had a fun time decorating some cupcakes that Grandma Martin bought for them:

Zane ate his before I even got a picture:

Cora made a diorama for her book project this month:

Cora had a couple cheer competitions this month, and her team did great! They won first place in this one:

She also got a fun, narwhal- shaped cotton candy:

Hyrum's swim team coach is moving on to another job, so he had a little celebration, where he gave each kid an award. Hyrum got the "fast at meets" award, because he said you wouldn't know at practice how fast he was at meets :) Hyrum also got his first ribbon for a swim meet! He got 8th place in the 50 free in a meet!

One day in March we went for a Mommy/Ivy day to the Bean Museum at BYU. Ivy loved the scavenger hunt and seeing a friend from school there:

We also got lunch at Kneader's, where Ivy got a cinnamon roll:

Ivy had graduation pictures this month, and I had to document how cute her hair looked curled!

I helped with teacher appreciation week this month, and was glad to be able to let Hyrum's teacher know how much we appreciate him!

The new raptor mascot at the kids' school:

Cora got her back handspring on the cheese mat at school, so we went to Brooker's to celebrate!

CF appointment in SLC this month. It was long, but we made it:

Cora did her own hair for crazy hair day this month:

Grandma and Grandpa Schuetzler came to visit this month. They came so that Paul could ordain Ryan to the office of high priest, since Ryan got called to be a high councilor in our church this month!

We went to breakfast one morning with Papa and Bonnie and Uncle Aaron while they were here:

We also went to the Purple Turtle for dinner one night and got delicious milkshakes:

We went with them to the Butterfly Biosphere too:

Hyrum got to pet a giant scarab beetle:

And we got to hold the butterflies!

We had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Schuetzler, and were so glad they were able to come visit last minute!

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day! The kids went on the scavenger hunt in the morning, and then we had our green dinner with rainbow jello and shamrock shakes for dessert:

Ivy loved playing with her toys from her birthday this month, especially making this tie-dye teddy bear:

Me and the littles at Zupas for a school fundraiser one night:

We went to Menchie's for frozen yogurt one night to celebrate Zane's better behavior:

I took Ivy to the park one afternoon with a few of her friends when the weather was nice:

I went to a blow dry bar for the first time this month for a friend's birthday. I loved how my hair turned out:

I also decorated cookies for a Relief Society activity one night this month:

At another one of Cora's cheer competitions, her team got first again!

Spring picture with the Provo temple:

We did a Mommy/Ivy day to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium this month, and Ivy liked it. Here she is with an iguana and a giant turtle statue:

She liked the stingrays and sea turtles too:

After the aquarium we went to Kneader's, where she drew these awesome shapes:

Love my tulips peeking out of the snow!

Ryan and I went on a random date one night from a date book, and it told us to go to a nearby city we haven't been to before. We went to Saratoga Springs, where we had some OK BBQ, and visited this park, which was actually still just a dirt patch with a power line and a good view of the freeway. We had a good laugh about it though, and had to take a picture to document it:

For some reason, if I'm laying or sitting on the couch, all the kids feel the need to sit/lay on me:

Sleepy, cutie kiddos:

I got to go to a girl's night at the Wick Lab in Provo this month, where I made an ok-smelling candle. It was fun to be out with some friends though!
