 Mom and Dad put together a really fun and delicious Mardi Gras themed Sunday dinner!

Dad made two king cakes

The Grand Concert 2023

 On March 2nd we went to the Grand Concert at the Jr. High. At this concert they have all the advanced music groups at the school perform. Evelyn is in Advanced Orchestra, so she was in it.

Trying to get some pictures of Ev

Telemann Sinfonia

Ice Sculptures

Orchestrations of the Underground - this piece was performed by the Advanced Percussion group, so Ev didn't play in it, but I still recorded it since it has music from one of the kids' favorite video games, "Undertale"

Lion City

When You Believe - for the last song, they have all the groups perform together

It was a fantastic concert

Grammy and Grandpop were also able to come to the concert to support Evelyn

February Misc.

 Here are a few more pictures from February:

Mike and I saw Avatar 2 with Kate. It was verrrry long, but cool

Sam and Max watching videos

We saw "See How They Run" at Hale Theatre

Oliver loves the warm spot in front of the air vent in the bathroom

Sleepy stairs boy

He also sits on laps when he feels like it

Juno hanging out in Mike's sock drawer

Mike and Nora went to the high school's production of "Kiss Me Kate"

Cute appetizers my mom made for a Sunday dinner

My mom's February table decor

I've been having to take more baths lately for health reasons, and Max and Juno are completely fascinated by it every time, lol

Juno is so cute when she leaves the plants alone

Oliver on my desk chair

Some more bath tub fascination

Nora and I went to Ulta to try and find some good lipstick colors. Nora thought our arms looked so funny with all of our little test swatches 

We went to see "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" at the movie theater. It was a cute movie. I kept thinking how much Puss looks like Oliver

Posing with the garbage can??

Our little Puss in Boots, hehe

We've gotten a lot of snow this month. During one of the bigger storms, the kids had a "snow day" which these days means an online learning day

Nora asked one of her friends to the Preference dance

Juno with her favorite person 💗

Nora and I went dress shopping, and this is where she ended up getting her dress. They had a fun balloon arch behind the counter

Oliver and the laptop: A love story

Not on the laptop, but still funny

Awwww

Oliver got to go on a little field trip this month. Nora is part of the Vet Team at the high school, and they have been learning about ways to restrain cats for different medical procedures (like giving shots, taking blood, etc). They wanted to practice on a real cat, and Oliver is a super chill little buddy, so he went to one of their practices. He was very good, and tolerant of the kids practicing with him.

The left handed challenge for this month

Nora, Mike and I went to see the musical "Dear Evan Hansen" at the Eccles Theater. It was really sad, but also very thought provoking.
