ohhhh!

Does it get any CUTER than this???

Carter made this all by himself during his free time at school today. He sure does love his cousins: Lela, Jessica and Tristin. Lucky girls! I think he is pretty neat stuff.

I love you Buddy!! and your big heart, too!!!

Bravo

My cute niece, Tristin, put on an amazing performance in her school play. They put on the play "Once Upon a Mattress" which is basically the Princess and the Pea story. It was such a fun play to watch especially since we knew the STAR. She had many speaking parts and even sang a duet with the army dude above. She did such a great job!

After the show, we all wanted to get our pictures taken with her.

SHE'S FAMOUS!!!

Love you Tris!

We left this little princess at home along with her two older brothers. They had a blast with their cousin Carli. Thanks Carli! Hopefully they weren't too diffucult:)

This is the Place!

Tanner's school class has been learning all about the history of Utah. They have been learning new songs and dances to perform for their families. After months of practicing, it was finally time to perform! Their hard work really paid off. They did great!

Up on stage

Of course, we had to take some pictures with our little star!

Way to go Buddy! We loved watching you sing your little heart out. And can I just say that you were quite the dancer, too!

CrAzY hAiR

Blakley's hair is always CRAZY when she wakes up from her naps! I LOVE it!

Who says you can't celebrate Christmas Late?

Who cares that it's months past Christmas?

You can do gingerbread houses anytime right?

We sure had fun making ours!

These ones were made out of chocolate!

YUMMY!

Troy and Lela were in charge of melting the chocolate.

I am so glad that I have three of the sweetest nieces in the world who come and hang out with us. We LOVE having them with us and always look forward to the weekends. Thanks girls for helping the boys out with these. They had a blast with you!

Good Job Buddy!

While the boys were decorating their houses, Clint and I were having our own photo shoot with Miss Blakley! What a little ham!

I love my little girl!

Carter and Daddy Night

I'm lovin the CHEEZ, Carter!

It was Carter's turn to go out with his Dad for the night.

What did he choose?

Movie and Subway

He really wanted to go see Justin Bieber's Movie Never Say Never but, somehow the movie was sold out when they got there. Strange!! Wonder who did the checking? Clint?

Any who, they went and saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Carter loved every bit of the movie (except the few parts that Clint covered his eyes on).

I'm so glad that you boys had FUN!

Troy and I get to go next. Can't wait!

Carterism

The other day, my mom had to dropped Carter off to school for me. She pulled up to the school and noticed that he forgot his backpack. So she asked him if he needed it and his reply was: "Grandma, sometimes I bring my backpack and sometimes I bring just my back." And then he jumped at of the car and ran into school. Silly boy!

Valentines Day

We had a very low-key Valentines day this year. We drove around and delivered the few valentines that the boys wanted to deliver. And then we had a nice quiet night at home. We thought it would be fun for the kids to make their own pizzas for dinner. They became quite the masterpieces! While the pizzas were cooking, Clint made us some yummy stir fry.

After dinner, my parents left a SURPRISE valentine for each of them on our doorstep.

Blakley got a darling outfit and a new book. Her FAVORITE thing right now! She loves to read, just like her mommy :)

The boys each got a pair of basketball shorts and matching top.

Thanks Grandma and Papa!

I LOVE my Valentines! I've got 5 this year!

Happy Hearts Day!

Kinderdog

Carter got to bring Kinderdog home from school for a sleepover on January 3rd. When he got home from school, we asked him what kind of adventures he wanted to go on with his new friend. He said let's go to Artic Circle and get an ice cream cone! I think he wanted to play on the playground just as much. Artic Circle it is!

When we got home, Carter dressed him up in one of his undershirts and a pair of his shorts. And the two of them went to bed. The next morning, they shared a plate of peanut butter toast:) Carter had a fun time with his buddy, Kinderdog!

Tanner's Pack Meeting

Tanner earned his Bear!!! He has been working so hard on trying to earn it before he turns 10 and he did it with a couple months to spare. Way to go Buddy! Clint is the Assistant Cub Master in our ward. Since the Cub Master couldn't make it to the pack meeting, Clint was the one to reward Tanner with his badge. He also earned one gold and 3 silver arrow points!

Tanner was asked "What were some of the fun things you have done to earn your bear?" He was quick to reply "I loved going to Gardner Village. And I loved learning how to play ping pong."

He has two of the sweetest scout leaders. They are both so good with the kids and always make it so fun for them:) He is really going to miss them when he moves into Webelos in a couple of months.

Tanner ~ I'm so proud of you and all of the hard work that you have put into scouts this past year. Not too much longer and you will be our little eagle scout. You'll be the first in our family! I hope you're planning on it:) We love you so much!
