Happy Birthday Tanner!!!

Happy Birthday Tanner!! Eleven years ago the cutest little boy was born. He was eager to make his way into the world with labor from start to finish taking less than two hours. (Thankfully) Ever since then he has been on the go.
I love Tanner's imagination. He loves to build things with Legos (you name it he can probably build it) he writes short stories and books, and is constantly looking for ways to build different things. He is infatuated with the Titanic and everything about it. He asked for a Titanic birthday cake which he helped decorate. He loves to golf, play football, and shoot some hoops. He has a sweet personality and would do anything for anyone and while he doesn't do all the things we ask him the first time or even the third time he is a great kid with a lot of potential and I love him with all my heart!! Happy Birthday T!!

I Believe I Can Fly

Tanner wanted to take some friends down to Ogden and go indoor skydiving for his birthday party this year. I guess the comment from the boys summed up the day, "That was the best birthday party ever!" It really was super fun. Just watching the boys fly was worth the money and time spent to go down. They absolutely loved it and all of them picked up on the flying. Tanner is a natural at it. He's did really well both times he tried it. The boys also went miniature golfing, played arcade games, and did the bumper cars. We ate pizza, had cupcakes, and luckily the restaurant didn't serve mountain dew or else they really would have been jumping off the wall. Tanner's good friend who moved from Grace lives in Ogden and ditched school to come join the party. I think this will be a birthday party to remember!

Kyrie loves basketball!

Kyrie is finally done playing basketball. I have enjoyed watching her play. To say that she is aggressive is an understatement. I am proud of her and her team as they took third place in a very hard league. Way to go sis!

Tanner Rocks the Pine Wood Derby

Tanner and his dad built another pinewood derby car. Tanner draws the plans and he helps dad execute them.

Love these girls

GI Jane

Have to share this cute pictures of Tessy. She was playing dart gun war with her brother

Cousin Fun

Grandma took all the cousins to Disney on Ice. (Thanks grandma!) What a good time they had! They were all so cute in their
princess dresses. They loved the show especially when the princessess were on the ice. We went to Erin's house afterwards to celebrate one of the cousins birthdays. The girls all love playing together and get along really well. We were staying the night with them and it was crazy trying to get all of the cousins to go to bed! What a fun weekend. We love cousin get togethers!

p.s. The song is for Karlie because she LOVES Justin Bieber

Tanner really got into his BBQ!

My family wants an update on my blog. Sad thing is, I don't have very many pictures to put up. We didn't take our cameral to
Florida and we haven't done much to take pictures. Need to be better.

One funny thing: This morning Karlie wet the bed. She goes "I just didn't want to get up." I know the feeling sometimes!

Here a couple of pictures of the girls and their awesome dad playing in the snow..

Happy Birthday Baby!

Just wanted to wish my handsome husband a happy birthday!! What a great man I married.
He can fix just about anything, drive a tractor, shoot a basketball, take care of the kids when
needed, smart as can be, play the piano, great coach, and my best friend. Just a few reasons I
love this man. Happy Birthday!

Does it ever slow down?

I thought that I'd hurry and update my blog tonight. I say hurry but it has taken me 30 minutes to do this. Which is quite a bit when you are on mom time! It's late and I am tired so I was quite brief in my descriptions of our adventures, but who wants to read a long narrative anyway?

Just a couple more Thanksgiving photos

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! We got our condo in Park City and my parents, sister, and my brother and his family came up for a week and partied! (We really are not big partiers but had a great time anyways). We played games, swam in the jacuzzis (it was so cold, you had to keep dunking your head under water so the icicles would melt) went to Salt Lake and looked at the lights, went to a couple of museums.
It was crazy as 15 people crammed into a 2 bedroom condo (is that against fire code) but we made it work and everyone got along (most of the time)
We even had two extra's for Thanksgiving dinner. My sister's roommate and her brother.
Our family went skiing for two days. We put the little girls in ski school and let me tell you, they were so stinking cute!! Their skiis were so tiny! Jacie did really well and could ski by herself and Karlie had to have a little help but she loved it anyways and was mad when the lifts closed.
It was a great week (even though we missed Aunt Chelsea) and so fun to have my family around me for a week!

Kyrie is rockin at playing the hoops. Way to go Tay!!

We got two new puppies at our house

Here are a couple of cute cakes I did:

Here is a glimpse of what we did for Halloween festivities around here.
I did a really fun party for Kyrie and Tanner's friends where we had an eight course meal. All funky halloween foods of course. Anyone for some Bloody Mary soup? Of course there were the costumes: Kyrie was Alice in Wonderland, Tanner was a werewolf, Jacie was a purple butterfly princess, and Karlie was the cutest strawberry shortcake ever. We love Halloween at our house!
