January Odds and Ends

 One day, before Abby went back to school for the new semester, Ben went into her closet and found her big horse and dragged it out.  She ended up "playing" with it while Ben just wanted more fish :)

Ben had a follow up on his wrist during school one day and when I brought him back it was during the hour that the musical was practicing.  I sat down and enjoyed watching a little snippet.

One Saturday, Matt went and spent most of the day filming different things for Singin in the Rain.

He came home at one point because he had forgotten something and Josh snapped a quick pic before he ran back out the door :)

Matt shared a couple more shots that someone else had captured during the day...

One weekend Josh was planning on going down to Coalville for a mission companion's report and reached out to Gpa and Gma Bryan to see if he could stop in and see them before returning home.  He found out that his sister and cousins were there visiting too so he packed a bag and went and stayed Sunday night with everyone else since there was no school on Monday.

Matt's FOR REALl! last improv show.

I thought the one in December was going to be the final show but they slipped in one more for January :)

Matt ended up doing the worm in the last group game.

look at that air he caught!

Such a fun group of kids!

The theater teacher was giving all kinds of clever prompts as she was taking the pictures.  Most of them I don't remember...

...but I do recall that the next three pictures, where Matt is looking completely terrified, they were supposed to be acting like they were seeing a bunch of adorable puppies :)

I'm sad I didn't get a better picture of Lynch but she is their fearless leader.

Gpa and Gma Olsen were able to come and support that night!

I don't remember what dance there was in January...🤔

but I had a couple of pictures of corsages I created.

This one said something in the order about Jasmine from Aladdin.  I really liked how it turned out.

And then there was this screen shot of a friend of Matt's.  I made the one on the left but I am puzzled about her black dress when I was told to do a navy blue ribbon...oh well.

The Last 2 Days of the Year

 In the ER we had been told to follow up with an orthopedist in 10 days.  We told them we already had an appointment with one on the 30th at Primary Children's to check his hip.  They said that was perfect.

Still not feeling healthy but well enough to keep the appointment, we drove down and used Ben's new chair which was awesome!

They did Xrays on both his hip and his arm.  Both looked good and so they casted Ben's arm.

He did not like that...I don't think it was hurting still...he just wasn't in a very good mood.

We then met up with Merill and Nancy at a gas station on Foothill who had come down to meet us.  They had some things for us and we gave them their Christmas gift.

Then of course I had to stop at Trader Joe's.

New Year's Eve was pretty low key as we still didn't feel well enough to gather with family.  Matt was off with friends.  We had the cider and threw the confetti and then we played a quick game as we waited for Matt to return.

Welcome 2025!

Hoping it's a pleasant one.
