March

 For a while, we would find Ivy buried under all her stuffed animals at night.  She slept peacefully this way.

 

My mom is the best. She took the younger cousins to Disney on Ice the first Saturday in March.  I didn't even tell Ivy until that morning and she was so excited she got all dressed up in her princess costume and jewelry.  She even added her lipstick in the car on the way down.  I don't think she cared that she was the only one who dressed up.

Brynn wasn't able to go to Disney on Ice since she had another competition that day.  It worked out perfectly since her competition was in Salt Lake-I could drop Ivy off before we headed to that.  This was a much more chill competition than Vegas and Brynn's team did great.  I love watching the little changes they make to their routine for each new competition.

Brynn and I had to kill some time before she needed dropped off.  It worked so that I was able to pick Ivy up right after I dropped Brynn off for warm-ups which meant she was able to watch Brynn perform.  The girls had begged for cotton candy at an earlier competition and we were too late to get any before they closed down so I made sure to get them some this time.

 

Brynn had team pictures for cheer.  She got some team shots, a head shot, and an action shot.  She chose to do a front walk-over.

The girls love, love, love when Justin takes them to the bus.  I am all business in the morning trying to get everyone off to school.  Justin is way more fun.

 

Stockton was invited to go to the temple with a group of boys.  They did their baptisms, went to the Creamery on 9th, and back to the Pearson's for waffles and games.  This picture makes my heart happy because they are such a great group of boys with parents who are equally amazing and I just felt so grateful that Stockton was given this opportunity and that he has these friends.

Justin called me an old lady for 15 days and then he couldn't call me that anymore because he turned 40 and was just as old as me.  We celebrated his birthday mostly the day before (March 13th) because we flew to Hawaii on his birthday.  I had made him an egg casserole before he left for his Sunday morning meetings.  We had his requested dinner, spicy honey chicken, and I had made Twinkies ahead of time as well.  He bought himself a new baseball glove and we counted Hawaii as both of our birthdays.

 

We found this giant egg one morning when we were out collecting.  You can see how much bigger it was than the normal eggs, which are on the larger side themselves.  Stockton was the one who had this for breakfast and it had two yokes.  I wonder if that is comparable to having a 10 lb baby vs. a 6 lb baby? 

Brynn's cheer team performed at the Wasatch Cheer clinic.  She did this cheer clinic last year and it is what clued me in to her love of cheer.  Look at how far she has come.  I love watching her. (Center flyer in both of these pictures.)
