New Year, New Decade, New News

Here we are, a couple of weeks into 2020 already. And what a couple of weeks!

We had snow to start the year. Could be worse.

This little fella didn't make it to his house, but social media allowed us to connect him back to his mama.

Eliza seems to have taken up her dad's hobby in earnest, adding her own sense of style to it.


The poor kids had to go back to school on Thursday the 2nd. They were none too happy.

They also started meet season in earnest. Landon competed at USA Gymnastics World in Bountiful.



We also had parent-teacher conferences. Always something interesting to hear about the kids from their teachers. You think you know your child, and then you hear about him or her from a teacher. . . .


Eliza and Hallie headed out of state for Eliza's first meet of the new year. But first, lunch on the road! In Whittier we had a yummy Hawaiian bowl.

While in California everyone needs to go to the .99 store. While there Karrie and I found some fun stuff for the girls to play with while visiting Belmont Park.


In San Diego, Eliza met up with her old Coach Marissa, who came to town for a girls weekend with Coach Sarah. They all had some fun at the beach before the meet.




Even though Savannah is a bit older than Eliza she was a great sport and the girls had a lot of fun together. So glad her family came with us on our road trip.

Meanwhile, in Utah, Landon competed at All American Gymnastics. Mike has learned that it's the numbers that count far more than relative placement. Landon is showing continued consistent progress.

Time to get the hair done for tomorrow's meet! Thank you Mindy Buckwalter!


Sarah (Level 6), Savannah (Level 3), and Eliza (Level 4) hanging out after they had their hair done by Sarah's mom.


A little more beach time before the meet.

And a chance to meet Eliza's birth cousin and her fiancee!




 Meet done, time for more fun! We had a great dinner at Hodad's in Downtown San Diego.


This also happens to be our 800th blog post since 2004. That's a lot!
