What's On My Happy List?

Over the weekend the fam celebrated the start of the 2018 Winter Olympics!!!

Extra special for Kyleigh as they are in

 South Korea!

It bugs her to death that the announcers keep pronouncing the city wrong. haha

I printed off old Winter Olympic posters from online to help make 

the Olympic back board...

We had Korean food from Cupbob

we tried the B BOP

HOT BOP

KKO KKO BOP

and the UGLY POP BOP 

the Cupbop Menu 

Found these Olympic inspired treats...

the Oreos were our pretend hockey pucks

The powdered donut holes were our pretend snowballs 

😉

candy in Olympic colors....
and cupcakes with mini country flags....

  Made the medals from ribbon and a free printable from DarlingDoodles.

We headed outside to compete in the 

Cooper Family Olympics...

We each represented a different country.

The hubs represented Australia

I was Switzerland

Kyleigh-Korea

Emma-Canada

Hannah-Great Britain 

{like last time...She was sure she was going to win GOLD again}

Brie-USA

Kate-Norway

 One of Hannah's girlfriends gave her performance enhancing drugs before our family games began!
😂

Kate opened the games for us by running down the sidewalk with the torch to the tune 

of Olympic Fanfare!

We headed to the park for our first
few events...

Take note that even though it was windy and bitter cold....we had NO SNOW...
so we had to get REAL creative!
😂

 Failed Skeleton attempt!

 Our attempt at the luge/bobsled????

 sucks for Canada
😂

Then we attempted some made up 
snowboard/ski contest...
we had to maneuver our way on a simply fit board
from point A to point B while being timed.

 Then... we had a visit from an Olympic Athlete from Russia ...
😂😂😂

So on a side note: Uncle Ryan paid us a visit this week...all the way from Japan!!!
No one knew he was even coming so it came as quite a surprise.

This is a video of him surprising Hannah 

at work!

So the day of our Olympics he was a good sport and dressed up as a Russian. 

It was hilarious!  

We played rounds of hockey in the driveway with Junior sized hockey sticks!

 There were some pretty intense games....

We made up a game to represent "winter archery"
It involved a shower cap, shaving cream
{our snow} and cheese balls!

 Lastly, we held a snowball fight with
fake snowballs...

We held a medal ceremony after...

😂

 Dad got a little frisky with the medal presenter...
😍

The hubs won the GOLD
Hannah the SILVER
and Kyleigh the BRONZE!
💪👏👊

Hannah, the family videographer, made a short video of our Olympic efforts....

*****

Sunday my sister in law fixed Korean food for our Sunday meal together!
She lived in Korea years ago.

The only thing that I really really love of Korean food is Bulgogi and Bing Su!
Although I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the Milkis drink.
It's a mixture of milk, yogurt and pop.
Sounds disgusting, I know, but it's not. 😉

In other news....

Brie and Hannah had Young Women's
New Beginning's Night.
The 2018 theme is:

"Learn of me, and listen to my words;
walk in the meekness of my Spirit,
and you shall have peace in me."

They went with a footsteps in the sand/beach-y kind of theme.
It was super cute!
The girls have wonderful Young Women Leaders.

*****

We attended a graduation party for one of Kyleigh's best friends...

Kyleigh also had an Olympic party with some Korean mission peeps!
Fun! Fun!

Lots of celebrating coming up for us this week.

Stay tuned.
