Hart Happenings

 Guys!!! It was a doozy of a week at the Hart house. It rained on Friday and I pretty much took two naps and read books all day. I was wiped out!

  Our homeschool co-op wrapped up their semester on Monday with a super

fun Showcase that Mom and Dad were able to attend since they were in the area headed to Star Valley. We loved it! Each class either performed something they had learned in their class or displayed something which was really great to see. We had a Chain Reaction video, science displays, some great art, and some Idaho history. Ruth’s choir performed some Rain and Shine songs which were a massive hit. She did such a great job with the choir this semester! 

  After that we headed straight to Pocatello for the first Spikeball match of the season  

  Tuesday and Wednesday were all hands on deck at one of our Airbnb houses. Alex has been remodeling and he was up against a deadline and sent out an SOS for reinforcements. His brothers and their wives, parents, nieces, nephews, and me and the boys all showed up and pushed through to get it all done. It looks great and is so nice to have wrapped up that massive project. 

  Thursday was a recovery day and reclaiming of our house and vehicles that had been neglected during the big remodeling push  it might take me a few more weeks to excavate my laundry room. *sigh*  Jack had a soccer game that night which they won handily.  If you guys want some good entertainment these days, watching Jack and his team play soccer is a real treat. Seriously, they are getting so good!

  Ian had performances of High School Musical 2 on Friday and Saturday which he nailed.  It was a great show with a really lovely cast and he met some wonderful people and got to reconnect with old friends  

  We miss the Saturday matinee because Peter and Jack both had 2 soccer games that day. Alex and I divided and conquered because Peter had to be in Rexburg at the exact same time as Jack had games in IF. It was cold. 

  Alex and I grabbed a quick dinner at a new restaurant in town to celebrate our anniversary. While we were there a server came up to us and told us that the people sitting at one of his tables had bough us a crème brûlée. We looked over and it was the son of our across-the-street neighbors on 12th st. Alex taught him in Young Men’s. But now he is all grown up and was there with his wife. It was so fun to see them and get an update on their life.

  After dinner we rushed to the theater to catch the final performance of Ian’s show and cheer our heads off. Ruth came too with Emerson and Addy and some of Addy’a friends. They are always so good to support him. 

  Anyway, I am looking forward to a more peaceful week and planting some stuff  as it looks like our cold weather is finally going to break and let the spring in.

  Hope all is well with you and that you will excuse our long absence from the blog. It was great to get caught up on everything we have missed the past few months. It was even better seeing most of you all in person recently though.

  We had a lovely visit over Easter weekend from Emma and Cam. They boys were super impressed by his rock climbing skills when we went to the climbing  gym for his birthday. Joe was so great to record Ian and a friend as a birthday surprise for her that he worked out with Ian. Thanks Joe! And visiting with Lauren, Jenn, and their littles, Emma, Mom and Dad when we got together for the surprise baby shower/birthday party was a highlight of my month for sure.

  Love you! Carry on!
