March 2025

 March was a busy, but fun month! Here are some cute "Then and Nows":

Zane had his last basketball game this month! He had a great season, and he made a bunch of baskets and had so much fun. Ryan did a great job as assistant coach too:

Me and some friends went to the MOA at BYU this month:

Zane competed in the Knowledge Bowl this month, and he did a great job! They won a round or two and lost a round or two, but they had fun anyways:

Hyrum had his end-of-year swim banquet for his high school swim team this month. He got the Sisyphus award because he always does the long, hard races. He also got an award and his letter for being on Varsity this year! He had so much fun being on the HS swim team, and he loves that he already knows people there for next year!

Here's Hyrum with his swim "twin."

I'm so proud of Hyrum!

For Hyrum's club swim team, he swam in the Beehive Finale and me and the girls went to see him race:

He did great and got second in the 1650 free!

Ivy had a dance competition that same day in the building next door, so we just headed over there right after Hyrum's swim meet. Ivy had fun and did great!

She had fun backstage with friends too:

She loved buying this little tiara there too:

Ryan and I went to Krispy Kones a couple of times this month on our dates because it's so delicious!

Zane and Ryan had a competition this month to see who could read the most Battle of the Books books, and Zane won! He read 8 or 9 books in 1.5 weeks! As his prize, Ryan had to send this picture to all of his friends and work buddies:

Cora had a couple of cheer competitions this month, and her team did awesome!

She loves getting these cotton candy treats:

Ryan gave Ivy a huge mouthful of whipped cream one night:

I took the kids to Provo Beach on a random Monday off this month. They love boogie boarding on the FlowRider, and they were all able to do it this time!

Ivy's dance team got these cute little bags filled with treats before their competitions this month:

Zane competed in Battle of the Books at school this month, and he did SO good! He was the one answering almost all the questions for his team, and they made it to the quarter finals! So proud of him:

He also drew this cool picture this month:

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day, with a leprechaun hunt, green dinner, and rainbow jello:

Cora went to the temple with the Young Women this month!

Hyrum had a piano festival this month, where he played his piano pieces for a judge. He did great and got an excellent score for both of his pieces!

We had another dance competition this month, and Ivy did great again! She competes two dance this year: Happy Birthday (jazz) and Aaron's Party (hip-hop).

Zane was part of a choir festival this month with their school choir, and he had fun going to the High School to hear other elementary choirs sing. Ivy was supposed to go too, but she was sick that day:

Thankfully, Ivy was feeling better for their regular choir concert a few days later. It was so fun to hear all of their songs and see them sing their hearts out!

The boys had a fun part just for them in the song, "Goodnight Ladies," where they go to wear these fun hats:

They are the cutest, and I love watching them sing in the choir!

I put together a service project for work this month, and our whole family joined for it! We cleaned up a community garden and helped build a greenhouse"

I took the kids to Airborne one day this month, and all the kids had fun:

Ivy made a great chalkboard drawing for St. Patrick's Day:

Cora had fun getting manicures and DQ with a friend this month:

Ivy had fun painting rocks with a friend this month:

Ryan got to chaperone Ivy's field trip to the zoo this month, and they had fun looking at all the animals:

Hyrum's orchestra competed in the district and state orchestra festivals this month, and they did amazing!

Zane built this cool solar contraption with a friend this month:
