February 2025

Apparently this month was almost all about Jaron, sorry Siena and Aria, not sure what you were up to but I'm sure you had an amazing month too!  :) 

February was a month Jaron had been dreading or a couple years.  He knew in 6th grade he was going to have to participate in the 6th grade Valentine's dance at Westfield.  He kept hoping his soccer tournament would allow him to miss it but his soccer team went to a different tournament this year and so he was there.  It actually turned out so fun and I think he liked it more than he thought he would.

We did go to a tournament with Jaron's soccer team.  We had a fun weekend hiking, swimming, playing raquetball, mini golf, pickleball and the girls even went go karting.  Jaron's team won one game of the 3 but it was a fun weekend.

Jaron gave his first talk in sacrament meeting and did a great job and has had some fun Young Men activities along with a camp out in Goblin Valley.

I also became a great aunt with Kali and Mason had cute little Stettler.  

January 2025

Jaron received the Aaronic priesthood and was ordained to a Deacon.  I was grateful my parents could be there so my dad could stand in the circle and participate in the ordination.  The deacons have been learning to pass the sacrament and it's so fun to see them all up there taking their responsibility seriously.  Jaron looked so handsome in his new suit.

The girls made pj pants with their sewing machine they got for Christmas.

We got a new couch.  Our old couch had been peeling away for a while and it was time to say goodbye.  I had seen this couch at Costco but found someone that was selling the exact same on for half the price so I feel like we got a good deal.  400 vs. 800.

Aria started showing some signs of scoliosis like Siena has so we took her in for xrays and sure enough she has about the same percentage of curve as Siena so she will be getting a brace to and join Siena in that not so fun brace she has.

Jaron got to attend the temple for the first time.  I loved that our whole family got to be in the temple at the same time.  It was a special evening for us and we made a goal to go to a different temple each month this year.  This was the Draper Temple.

Siena won the College Bowl Goold Family Trophy this year.  This was her 2nd time winning and yay for having the trophy back in the Glover household.

Aria and I went with Brigitte and Holland to a BYU gymnastics meet.  It was so fun to watch and hang out together.

December 2024

 We had Orchestra and Band Christmas concerts at the beginning of December.  Nice to get them done early in the season.  Siena and Aria both did a great job practicing and knowing their pieces.  Aria's teacher gave them each a tiny Santa hat to put on their bows, it was quite festive.  And apparently I only got videos of Aria's orchestra and no pictures....darn it.

Our Young Women's class had a gift exchange Christmas party.  It's been a fun year with 14 in our class and now the oldest 8 will be moving up to the middle aged class.  All the YM and YW also went bowling for a fun activity night.

Jaron's indoor soccer season finished up.  Jaron loves indoor soccer and often says if he could he would do indoor year round.  He had a great season and scored a ton of goals.

Jaron had his last Christmas sing.  The 6th grade go to sing 12 days of Christmas and Jaron was one of the 12 drummers.  It was a pretty fun performance.

With the Salt Lake Temple under construction, we don't go downtown every year to look at the lights but we decided to go this year.  We went to dinner in Draper, took Trax downtown (yes the kids still love riding the train) and then walked around for a bit.  Temple Square isn't as decorated as it used to be and I'm hoping once it's completed that it returns to how great it used to be.

We always love getting our Grandpa South's train and playing with it or a couple days.

And we still love decorating sugar cookies (I mostly love to eat them, Aria mostly loves to just decorate them)

The kids love to sleep under the Christmas tree the night before Christmas Even and watch Polar Express.

Shane and the kids took 2 ski trips over Christmas break.  The snow isn't that great yet this year but they still had fun.

Christmas Eve day we went and saw Mufasa and then went to Jennifer's along with my parents and had dinner there and played some fun games.

Christmas morning.  I'm always terrible at taking pictures Christmas day but here are a few I got of the kids looking at their presents.  

The rest of Christmas break was spent hanging out.  The girls did some sewing projects (bunting for their room and new pajama pants).  We went to Classic with the Pace's and had a very low key Christmas break.  I think everyone was ready to get back into school and routines.  And I didn't take any other pictures but we had a great New Year's Eve eating lots of snacks, playing games and watching a movie.
