I'm long-winded. I'm warning you. But I hope you have some fun reading what's going on with us. I sure have fun writing these and catching up with y'all also.

March 2018

March started with me going to an event where we mingle with each other all dressed up and with some NAC women. They are wives of men in the NAC and support the Marriott school. I brought a recipe of Chicken and Bacon Satay and won best savory hors d'oeuvre!

I'm pretty sure I donated this shirt now, so don't judge.
Ted's preschool group took the train to Lehi and back.
Races underground to stay warm while we waited for our return trip.

Family dinner at Brick Oven. The kids did so well!

I title this next bit: The many faces of Claire.




The kids know they are allowed to eat an apple in grocery stores thanks to Smiths.


We finally had a Valentine's date of fondue.

We went to Daniel Tiger Live for Claire's birthday.



Grandpa and Grandma came in town as well as 3 of my siblings. We enjoyed spending the weekend together.
Temple Square
City Creek

Late night pizza at my house. Kolaches and Cafe Rio were also had.
Temple Session. Mom watched my kids, bless her, so I could go. Dad then gave us all a priesthood blessing. i was in dire need of one and turned a very important corner that weekend--Freed from some very powerful negative crap in my life.
At Grandma's funeral (the reason for the visit).
All the Skolmoski cousins except 4.

Preschool hike.

Claire loves Alta!

Look at Claire's face. Ha
We're watching conference. I didn't make it as fun as I should have though for them.

Look at them!
Claire fell asleep at like 10:30 watching conference. She's an angel.
Wearing Dad's classes and helping me make funeral potatoes--which he ate, btw. (Der was out of town over Easter, hence why he isn't pictured.)
