Thursday, February 12 marked the first time Jen has ever been skiing. Kyle's parents had a ward ski night, and we went up to Beaver Mountain for the evening. After a rough first run learning what to do, Jen really got the hang of it and by the end of the night was consistently making it down the mountain without falling down. We had a great time and hope to make skiing more of a tradition in our family. We saw some 4 and 5 year olds cruising down the mountain . . . maybe in a year or two we'll have to take Ethan.
Friday night, Kyle took Jen on a surprise date to a fancy dinner and Jazz performance with dancing at the Sky Room at USU. It was a little awkward at first, since the average age in the room was probably 60. We didn't mind though, and met a nice couple around our age. We had a great time dining and dancing and we got to show off our dance move. Yeah, we only have one move (just kidding, of course. But not too far from the truth). We really want to make an effort to go dancing more often, though.
On Saturday, we went to Lowe's "Build and Grow" activity to have Ethan build a jewelry rack to give to Mom on Valentine's day. This is a free service Lowe's does for the community every couple of weeks. As you can see in this picture, he was pretty excited to use real tools. He got to keep the glasses and apron too!
He was very intent on the work he was doing.
He was concentrating so hard on getting that nail into the wood that he forgot to smile. This was pretty much his expression the entire time, but he really did have a good time.
After Lowe's, we went Rob and Christin's house to see their new baby girl, Julie. Take a look at their blog to see a plethora of pictures of their little sweetie. While we were there, Rob took Ethan out in the back yard to give him a ride on his four-wheeler. Kyle drove Ethan around the yard a few times. Ethan had a blast riding Scrambler (those of you who are unfortunate enough to be familiar with "Bob the Builder" know what this means). Thanks, Rob.
Notice how much snow there was in the previous picture. We were shocked at how much snow there still is in Logan. We haven't had snow stick on the ground since Christmas at home. It was such a nice afternoon that Ethan and Kyle decided to walk home from church. We passed by the park on our way home and Ethan had to stop and play for a bit. We sure hope we get to enjoy more of this sunny weather this upcoming week.

Wow! Ethan is VERY focused on that nail! haha
So glad you guys got to have a fun Valentine's Weekend! Oh, and thanks for bragging about your weather. Our high is supposed to be 20 today I think and we have plenty of snow!
Mostly just jealous of your dates! At least someone still has those...
Wow, no snow since Christmas? How would that be? :) What a fun filled weekend! Your ski picture is great... makes me want to give it a try again. Dinner and jazz dancing sounds like a blast as well. Ethan looks like he thoroughly enjoys the role of carpenter... how did his project turn out? And I'm so glad you got to meet baby Julie! I've only seen pictures, but she looks like a perfect doll. :)
That's great that you guys were able to have some nice dates away from the kiddos. I can't wait until I'm done nursing so that we can get babysitters more often. It makes such a difference!
Looks like such a fun weekend- glad you had a good time!
