Whoo... now its your turn :o)

random shots...

Ella loves to dress up everyday if I let her... She is wearing the "baby legs" that I made for her a while back... I promised that I would post it for everyone to see... so there ya go!

The other day, Coleman was being very quiet and I had to check on him to make sure hes not into in mischief like he usually is... I found him playing with his trucks and cars behind the couch cushion where he had taken the back cushion off and he'll have a dip in between... he LOVES it! He thinks its like a little fort and would play in it for hours!

Valentines, President's Day, Birthday... OH MY!!!

Well, Valentine's Day came and went!! Dave and I ditched our kids to our friends house on friday night and had the night to ourselves... it was heavenly! We went to dinner at Timbermine... it was FANTASTIC and the best thing ever is that our bill was only .96 cents!!! Thanks to our gift card that covered the whole bill! We were going to go to the Temple that evening but due to the nasty cold I had... I wasn't feeling too great to go. After dinner we just went home and curl up in our bed and went to sleep... it was beautiful!! The next morning, we picked up our kids and our friend's kids to keep overnight (it was a trade that we did and it worked out great!) and the girls was darling and so much fun! We went to Dave's folks house for a family gathering/dinner... it was a great little Valentine to get together!

President's Day always falls on a Monday so that means everyone (well mostly everyone) got a day off from work!! Dave and his folks and some friends went ICE FISHING up at East Canyon... (I did not go... I wasn't up for it... maybe another time.) They all caught a fish... Dave out fished everyone as usual.

Matt waiting for his fish...

Ginny waiting for her fish...

Drew waiting for his fish...

Drew's friend waiting for his fish too...

Matt got one!! Had to kiss it...

Ginny got one too... proud to show it off...

Yes! Drew got one!!!

Drew's friend had to bite it... he too got one!

Finally Dave got 4! Way to go!

At last, on Tuesday it was COLEMAN'S Birthday!!! He is TWO years old!! Yikes, where did the time go?! We had a small party just us family on his birthday and we had all of our families over on Saturday to celebrate his day! I made a Lightning McQueen cake all from scratch... boy that kid sure LOVES cars, trucks, tractors, anything with wheels! He also sure LOVES balls too!!! Coleman has started showing his true personality that cracks us up... He has started talking in sentences... so clear that you can easily understand what he was saying. He is such a joy in our family and we love him so much!! Happy 2nd Birthday COLEMAN!!!

Coleman had a great birthday! He was spoiled with all kinds of wheeled vehicles from our families!!

Daniel, Katie and Addi gave Coleman a BIG bag full of BALLS!!! Boy, that kid was in LOVE! Thanks everyone for coming and Coleman sure loves his gifts!!

Lightening McQueen cake I made from stratch... Coleman loves it!

He knows what to do with the candle on the cake! He blew it out so soon before we could even finish the song! Good Job!!

Gooo JAZZ!

On Wednesday, one of our friends called us and asked us if we wanted to go to the Jazz game with them... Of course we said YES! We dropped our kids off to their Grandma to have some Grandma Time (Thanks GINNY!!) and we were off to the game. The poopy part is that our seats were not together with our friends... they were a couple of rows down from us as we were on the VERY TOP as you can tell from this picture... its like watching miniature people running back and forth on the court. During the 2nd quarter, we ditched our seats and met down with our friends that has 2 extra empty seats next to them...

Starting of the game where they introduced the players on the court.
Dave and I (I look like crap... I still have that blastin cold but it didn't stop me from going to the game!) We are at the VERY top as you cant see other fans behind us.

Not sure who is taking the shot... I know for sure its our team... We played with the L.A. Lakers... and yes, Kobe Bryant played that night. Our fans does NOT like him...

At last... Our winning score!! It was a very intense last few minutes of the game! SO happy that we won!!

** On our way back to the parking lot and as we were pulling out, we saw L. Tom Perry and his wife walking back to their car! He must have been to the game too! It was a fun night! Thanks Jason and Melissa for the tickets!!!

6th Picture

I've been tagged by my friend Jess... I'm suppose to get into my 6th folder and get into 6th picture and explain about it...
We have been renovating our home since Fall of 2005 (WOW its been 3 1/2 years!!) We are SO super excited that we (well lets just say Dave that did most of the work) finally FINISHED laying out all the ROCK onto the house! We still have many more to work on at least for now that all the hard and time consuming part is all over!! So this is what we have done so far!

I TAGGED: Holli, Vanessa, Mom, Marrian, Staci, Janika...

Bad Case of the Yuckiness

Aahhh... I'm getting sick of this!! (no pun intended) For the last week and still is... EVERYONE is getting sick... All of the combination of cough, running nose, sore throat, headaches, belly-ache, vomiting (sorry too much info.), fevers, goopy-eyes and many more to name! We're pretty much lived on over the counter drugs till we finally get around to be back to our normal self. I CANNOT wait for warmer weather to come so we all can enjoy some FRESH air!!
