Thanks Aunt Chris. No, Really, Thanks.

Have you met my sister? She is the FUN one. She was the fun sister and she is the fun mom and she is also a FUN aunt. She is also a bargain shopper and sometimes the bargains she finds are FUN. For Bryce's bday she sent a giant (and I do mean big) card that plays "The Chicken Dance". Yep, the one, the only, annoying wedding song with a tune that gets stuck in your head for hours at a time. Along with the chicken dance card that Bryce kept opening and closing and opening and closing and .... well, you get my drift she sent these glasses. There were 4 pair which was perfect. We posed for a picture that might be the best family picture we have taken since Halloween. We stuck our tongues out on this one to complete the CRAZY look. What do you think? So thanks again Aunt Chris (for the glasses but the jury is out on the card). We love you.

Happy Valentine's Day

We are unbelievably lucky that they do some super COOL crafts at Bryce's daycare. This one was a Valentine craft and it was out of this world with hearts and flowers and all things pink. I can't even imagine what Vicki's house looked like when the kids got done with this one. And, by the way, Bryce is in these p.j.'s in a ton of the recent blogs but I promise he has others :)

Jeff's Birthday

Jeff turned 38 (or 37 if you ask his mom) on Friday, February, 18th. He had a basketball game that night (and unfortunately didn't win) but he was ready to celebrate on Saturday. His parents were in town and they and the boys put together this very cool "Racetrack" cake. It was very good and had LOTS of sprinkles.

Cayden's 8th Birthday

Cayden and Hogan. Clay was taking a last run down the mountain.


For Cayden's Birthday we decided to move away from the big group pizza fest at the local germ plex. I mean no disrespect as we love contracting whatever contagious germs are there for us but this year we wanted to do something else. I decided to convince Cayden that he wanted to go snowboarding and slowly but surely he agreed. He invited his two bff's Hogan and Clay with him. Jeff was the brave volunteer to take three 8 year olds up to the mountain, get them signed up for lessons, and outfit them with the correct gear. My friend Denise (Clay's mom) also went up to take pictures, video, and help with lunch. I think Jeff gets a gold star for the day-except if you tune in for what I ended up having to do while he was up there :( They all had a good time and I'm hopeful that Cayden and his friends will get to spend many a fun weekend up on the mountain with one another.

Looking cool riding the lift

Even cooler
