Yummy Breakfast

After Bridger's basketball game, we went to H's for breakfast.  The boys got one of their huge cinnamon swirl pancake.  It was Bridger's first time eating there and he was really impressed.  He can see the I like this place so much!

Spring Time

I especially like spring time in the county.  There are so many baby animals.  My sweet friend Cami let us come over to her farm to see her baby animals.  Tanner and his friend Mack were able to hold her baby goats.  They loved petting all of her animals.

Happy Valentine's Day

We snuck away and went to BL for the long holiday weekend.  Valentine's Day was on Friday, and it was a crazy busy day.  Chase had a JV basketball game at Green C at 3:00.  So Marilyn met at our house and then we packed up and went to Chase's game.  We decided to not stay for the variety game because we were worried it was going to be really late by the time we went to BL.  We didn't have any time together as a family to open up their Valentine's gift.  So Saturday morning, the boys finally opened up their present.  Grandma Richins was always so sweet to give us a little something on Valentine's Day.  That's the main reason why I do this.  Chase and Bridger got new Air Jordan basketball shorts.  Tanner got a mini Jazz basketball.

100th Day of Kindergarten

Tanner had his 100th day of kindergarten.  His teacher put together a bunch of fun activities for them to celebrate their 100th day of kindergarten.  Tanner made a necklace that had 100 fruit loops on it.

MORP for Chase

Chase was asked to go to MORP with Caitlyn.  She’s also a junior but he didn't know her really well. But she’s a darling girl. It was a smaller group, only three couples. Luckily Chase knew one of the guys in the group. They tried to go on their day date on Tuesday night but they got in a car accident in Garland. A car turned in front of them and they T boned her. Luckily everyone had their seat belts on and no one was hurt. On Saturday, Caitlyn picked Chase up at 3:00.  She was wearing a cute green dress with a cream sweater. I loved her tennis shoes she was wearing with her dress. She has beautiful hair! She picked out a tie for Chase to wear so it would match her dress. They went and took pictures first. Then they went to Firehouse Pizzeria in Logan. They hung out in Logan and wasted a little bit of time before the dance started. Then they went to the dance. Chase ended up having a really fun time. I’m so glad that he’s making some fun high school memories. 

Bridger’s Winter Basketball Season

Bridger has loved being on CVE team.  The boys have grown closer together.  They are a great group of young men.  They are willing to work hard and do their best.  Coach Malm was been wonderful with the boys.  He's so motivating with them.  He gets them to work so hard and push past their limits.  Basketball has been very intense.  Bridger practices four times a week and then has a game once a week.  Bridger has improved SO much!  Bridger has improved with his dribbling, passing, free throws, lay ups and three point shots.  Luckily I've been able to carpool with a couple of other moms so it lightens the load.  Bridger has really enjoyed the boys on this team.  The environment is so much better.  We're so grateful for the time and effort Coach Malm puts into coaching.  

Chase’s Basketball Season

Chase changed his mind at the begginning of September and decided to try out for the high school basketball team.  We immediately put him in private lessons with an amazing coach. Jeff has worked wonders with Chase I’m getting him ready for tryouts. Chase has been so diligent in practicing. He was SO nervous to tryout. It was a huge risk for Chase. We said lots of prayers and Chase spent hours in our sports court. Luckily Chase made the team!!! Halfway through the season, Coach Shaw was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  He had brain surgery two days later.  The surgery went really well but it was a rough recovery for coach.  He and his family were amazing and so strong!  The community and the basketball team pulled together for Coach Shaw.  We set up a major fund raiser to help with his medical expenses.  The school district super intendant agreed to have all of the schools in our district have a fund raiser for coach at their basketball games.  Our community was incredible and so supportive.
