This year the kids did home school from March 2020 until the end of the school year. It was crazy. I would have never known the words Pandemic or Social distancing until 2020. We ended up playing games every night for about 4 hours at the beginning of the pandemic. We made it through the school year. Then we started school in the fall with in person class and we have been so lucky to get through to Christmas break with no breaks from school and we even went five days aweek. Connelly is in 7th grade this fall. He is doing good with all A's so far. He thought he had a B in one class the first term and miracle of all miracles somehow it turned to an A- last minute. He was promised a phone if he gets straight A's for the next two years, 7th and 8th grade. He has worked really had on keeping an eye on his grades. He really is a good kid. I love him so much. He loves to Ski, Ninja, and ride my new mountain bike. I will need to get him a mountain bike next year. ...

I started hiking in march after the ski resorts shut down.  Started out slow by heading in the snow to Frary peak and not making it all the way. I kept hiking and did a great family hike to Mt.  Timpanogous. Then tried to hit all the good ones around ogden. Thurston peak Mt. Ogden Ben Lomond Kings peak.  This was my ultimate goal for hiking 2020!!! Piefferhorn!! This was my favorite hike.  The horn had so many suprises.   I wasn't prepared for the beautiful lakes.  All the other hikes were more brush oak and no lakes.  This one had pines and lakes and The Horn!!! There were many more inbetween; Webb cabin, Adam's cabin, malans peak, bair canyon, beus canyon, great western, wellsville ridge.  Now its December and 2020 is almost over and  I have to say I LOVED 2020!!!!

I haven't blogged or done a cute updated pix of Connelly since his March birthday when he turned three. He is so fun. I have no energy because I'm pregnant but he has a ton of it. He loves to ride his bike and play with his friends from sun up to sun down. He believes he is pregnant too and he has a "baby Kate" in his belly like I do. We are looking forward to Oct. 13th as much as ever in this horrid heat. I hate being pregnant in the summer. I love summer, I love being in a bathing suit, and this summer isn't what I love because I don't look good in a bathing suit and I hate the heat.

Well, Three years later, here it is. Our front yard is all but complete. It looks great!!! Good job Nate

Here is Lover's Beach in Cabo San Lucus. It was fun to go and swim in the clear water. Nate went Parasailing. I got a hour massage on the beach. We stopped at Puerta Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo. We went for a week. No kids!! It was fun, about the fourth day my pregnancy really hit me . Food just wasn't appetizing anymore and I just was so tired. It was actually kind of cold too. Only one day at sea was warm enough to enjoy the outside and sun tan and read a book. The rest of the time we were indoors. The drive down and back was fun. We went with two other couples that made us laugh a lot.

Connelly attended his first birthday party. It was a party for actually three boys. I'm sure it was crazy. The boys all turned 4 this week. Connelly is already hanging out with the older boys. I'm going to have my hands full. He came home looking like this. He had a bad full of party favors and a balloon. He had so much fun. They played games and they got their faces professionally painted. It was a great party. The kids were suppose to dress up and I of course knew exactly what Connelly could go as: A cowboy. He loved it.
