The boys had fun in the bumper boats.

C track is soooo boring!

Me: What track do you want to be on next year?
Dylan: Not C track.
Me: What's wrong with C track?
Dylan: C track is sooo boring!
Me: What's boring about it?
Dylan: I don't have any C's in my name, not any B's either! I only want D or A.
Ethan: How about E, I love E track!!!

Let's Open Presents!

Ethan opening his presents and Deal or no Deal!

Happy Birthday Ethan!!!!!

Ethan's cake! It's made out of donuts that are frosted to look like a cake. Ethan wanted to trick everyone into thinking that it was just a regular cake.

Ethan got an IPOD and was really excited to figure out how it worked.

Ethan stayed home from school because he wasn't feeling well. He wanted to make sure we put up balloons and crepe paper and make a happy birthday sign!

We had strombolli for dinner. It's Ethan's favorite!

Ethan had a really fun birthday. He got a new bike, an ipod, some crafting supplies, and a whole bunch of rolls of pennies!!!! Happy Birthday Ethan!

Happy Birthday?????

Does this look like the face of a birthday boy? My poor baby is sick on his 9th birthday.

He shoots! He scores!

Happy 11th Anniversary!!!

We made it 11 whole years and celebrated by taking a mini vacation to park city. We spent the day shopping and browsing stores in a snowy blizzard.
For dinner we went to a japanese restaurant called Last Samurai.

We tried the philadelphia sushi roll for the first time!

The sushi was good on it's own, but don't dip it in the ginger salad dressing, it doesn't mix well with the salmon!!!! The next picture here would have been me spitting it out into my napkin!

For desert we bought a "wedding" cake from a bakery. Happy anniversary babe! Here's to the next 11 years!!!!!

My little basketball stars!

We just ended the basketball season and the boys played great. They learned lots of new skills, made new friends, and had a lot of fun. Ethan scored 6 points this season and Dylan 2. Good job boys!!!

Color Me Mine

What a fun day we had at Color Me Mine!!! I heard about this place where you can paint pottery, so we went as a family to check it out. It was so much fun! Ethan painted a snake treasure box, Dylan painted a dragon bank, and I painted a pie plate while daddy helped keep us stocked with paint. I can't wait to go again!

What a difference a year (or eleven) makes

Happy eleventh anniversary! Eleven years, many years of school, college graduation (mine), thirteen jobs, seven cars, 2 apartments, 2 houses, 2 dogs, 2 kids, 1 broken bone, 2 kidney stones, 7 surgeries and a whole lot of fun and we've survived 11 whole years. I can't wait to see what the next eleven brings.

Last year on this day we were embarking on our big moving day. We had to be out of our house by the 18th and officially signed the papers to close on our house on the 13th. After the selling of our house in six short days we have spent the last year moving, living 5 months with my parents, jeff has had 4 jobs, we've moved into our new house, started a new school, new ward, and made new friends. We gained a new neice (Kelsie), a new dog (sam), and a million new memories that I hope I can soon catch up on.

Today we're spending the weekend in park city to celebrate our anniversary! The boys are with grandma and grandpa and will have a great time I'm sure!

So I'm starting a blog! I've never done this before, but I want to keep a journal of our family and all of our memories. So here we go!
