A braid...

Yes, it was a momentous occasion at our house last week. Sydni has enough hair for a braid! I know its tiny but it really is a braid. I've waited a long time to have a little girl with hair to braid.

Logan is 5!

Logan turned 5 on Januray 5th. It was a great day. He got to be in charge of how he and Sydni and I spent our morning so we started off with pancakes for breakfast and then after we got the boys off to school it was time for hours on the Wii. We played the Pirate game that he got from Grandma and then the "Bolt" one. My arms were so sore by that night I couldn't move. He had preschool that afternoon and had a great party there. (Thanks Miss Janalynn!!) We had planned to meet family in Bountiful for ice cream that night but due to the incliment weather we had to cancel. So I ventured out for the requested Icecream cake and pizza for dinner. It took us an hour and a half to get from home to Baskin Robins, back to Salt City Pizza and home again. But we had a fun night together, and Logan was the king for the day!! I can't believe its been 5 years, and I don't know what I'd do without him! (Thanks to my mom for the Cricut that I used to do the window.)

Christmas

Okay, I know its been a while but we had a great Christmas. So I thought I'd share some pictures. We stayed home and had Christmas Eve and morning at OUR house. We started some new traditions and kept some old. The new were going to a movie on Christamas Eve and having a fondu dinner. And the old were opening one present on Christmas Eve (which the boys have figured out is always pajamas), reading and acting out the story of Jesus' birth, and blueberry pancakes for breakfast Christmas morning. We were blessed to be healthy and together as a family! Oh, yeah and Santa left presents for everyone and I think someone elses too...

*Santa*

Logan had a Christmas program last night for preschool, and guess who came. That's right, Santa! (Thanks Miss Janalynn!!) After much convincing we got Logan to sit on his lap. Syd and Ty were the only other takers. Are my boys really getting to old for that?

Pedicures anyone?

These pics are of Sydni, she is going to have these boys whipped into shape before they know what hit them. They were all standing around the computer watching Kobe play some game when she found a nail file and decided that they needed to have their toes done... Soon they all had their shoes off and were letting her file them. Then it was my turn, I wish Ron had been home!

No cavities!

I am always thrilled when we have a trip to the dentist with no cavities! This was the case last week and here are the beautiful clean teeth after our appointment. They are not all straight, but they are cavity free. Tyson will be getting a retainer next week. Biffy I have already threatened him, I had a good friend (no names here), who would wrap hers up in a napkin at lunch so that no one would have to see it. She must have thrown it away 6 or 7 times during the 5th grade. Here's hoping that we don't have to go dumpster diving for Tyson's.

All aboard!

I really didn't realize it had been so long since I posted last... Where does the time go? We were fortunate enought to get to go on "The Polar Express" right after Thanksgiving. I surprised the kids and checked them out of school early (the coolest thing ever) and we headed to Heber. We boarded out train and rode to the North Pole. On the way we got hot chocolate (no song though
:( thats my favorite part) , cookies and listened to the book. Then we picked up Santa and on the way back he made his way through all of the cars to visit the kids. They all got bells, which are still ringing every day. And to finish off a fabulous night we went to the Dairy Keen, which is the train themed burger joint in Heber) for dinner. It was a perfect was to start December!
