President's Day Weekend

We went up to Island Park with the Hatch's over the weekend. We had a great time and I can't to be back up there. The boys loved the snow and the trampoline.BraxTaylor in his goggles.Look at this snow! AWESOME!We made some yummie Star Wars cookies with my new cookie cutters. YUM!Grandma was talking to the boys about a surprise she had for them. Taylor yelled out "let's huddle" so they all huddled to hear what she had to say.Surprise it's body paint for the tub! These four boys were loving it!!After the bath they all sat together to watch "Despicable Me" which the boys now tell me is their favorite movie!

After we got the kids in bed the adults headed outside for some night time sledding. We built a great slide down the huge mountain of snow. There were only minor crashes and a few sore bodies the next day but it was a blast!Julie, Me, CallieMe

Justin got the firm's 9th row tickets to the Jazz vs Bulls game February 9th. Justin is a HUGE Chicago Bulls fan so it was great to be able to go. Go Bulls!

One happy man after the win!

Valentine's Day Pictures

We are back up and running. My computer had a virus so we got that fixed and are ready to catch up! We had a fun Valentine's Day with lots of valentine treats and heart shapped foods. The kids got these cute outfits from Grandma and Papa Merrill. The girls love the shoes!

We ordered pizza for dinner and had a fun night together. Love them all!!

Happy Valentine's Day to all those we love!

Oh these two! Can't keep them out of the drawers!

Hoops!

These two love to shoot hoops! Taylor took a nap the other day and at 11:00pm (he would not go to bed) all he wanted to do was go and play hoops! They are very good too! They have started doing trick shots which is hilarious to watch! I found these cute outfits and had to have them for by little ballers!Callers like the balls And Aves was busy cheesin' away for the camera. Her new favorite game is to say cheese and run to the camera to see the picture.

Living Planet Aquarium

We met Ashley and Krew down at the Aquarium today! My boys can't get enough of this place. They love it everytime we go! I realize the girls hair is not done and is such a mess but they woke up about 5 minutes before we were leaving so it didn't get done today!Krew, Brax, TayTay, Brax, KrewMacall loved being out of the stroller. She was a runner though!Aves was excited to see all the fish up close!Callers taking a rest

Hiding in the rocks!

Valentine's

Grandma and Papa gave the kids Valentine's which we weren't supposed to open until Valentine's Day but the boys pouted until I couldn't stand it anymore and gave in!

They love the shirts, big pencils, and all the candy! The girls were already asleep last night when the boys got their Valentine's so they opened theirs today! They LOVE the shoes!! Justin being cheesy because I always get mad at him for not smiling for pictures! Thanks for the great Valentine's Grandma and Papa! Love you!

Kiddos

The boys love to play the Wii. I let them play while I got ready one day and they were happy as can be. You see these banana chairs? Happy Valentine's Day Justin! We need more seating and this was his solution. I don't like them but they work for what's needed.This little lady loves to play peek a boo! All you have to say is "Where's Macall?" and she covers her face and starts to giggle.I got her hair in a pony tail the other day! Love it!And this is Miss Attitude! This is her pouting because Justin is holding Macall and not her. Love this spunky little one!
