Why we're loved...

The other day Ethan made a "Thank You" card for Jaime and I. We always love getting cards from the kids with those priceless little pictures and spelling alterations. I tried to scan it in, but "SOMEHOW" my scanning software was deleted from my computer... My next post is going to be "Why we love our kids... or Why we shouldn't leave them alone on the computer..." Anyways, here's how the letter went :

"To Mommy and Daddy"

"Mommy, thank you for being such a good Mommy."

"Daddy, thank you for paying taxes."

It sure is nice to know why you are truly loved...

Rylie needed to dry out

A couple of weeks ago I was walking by the laundry room and I saw the dryer light on. I walked in the laundry room and went to shut it when I realized that Rylie had climbed in. She was just hanging out relaxing in the dryer. Kids find the strangest places to play.

Totally Tubular 80's Bash

I loved the 80's!!! I mean whats not to love....big hair, great music, and bright clothes. Brooke through a surprise 30th birthday party for Wayne. Can you guess her theme??? You got it....80's. Brent and I sported out best 80's costume and had a blast. Brooke decorated with lots of great decorations, we played 80's trivia and sang karaoke. Well I didn't sing but Brent say enough songs to make up for that. He was the best 80's Rocker Ever! I love any excuse to dress up. Good Times!

Learning to rollerblade

Ethan got roller blades for Christmas. Brent put on his and went out to help him in the front yard. They worked on for about an hour. Ethan has been practicing. He is very determined! Now he totally has it. He cruises all over the backyard.

Snow trip

The end of February we decided to plan a trip up to the cabin to play in the snow. We went with Mark and Jaymi, the girls, and Spencer and Lizeth. When we got there most of the snow at the cabin had melted and there was only a couple of patches. We woke up on Saturday and headed up to sunrise to find some snow to play in. We got there and got all our gear on and headed up the hill. We were only there about 15 minutes before we got hit with a blizzard. It was so bad that we could hardly see. Needless to say we decided to head back to the cabin before the roads got really bad. We were all so sad because everyone was really looking forward to our snow day. The next morning when we woke up we realized that it had snowed all night long. When I looked out the window this is what I saw......

It actually worked out great. There was so much snow on the ground the the kids were able to sled all though the front yard. They also made some great snow angels.

Our family with the snowman that the kids made with Aunt Lizeth.

I was really surprised, Rylie loved playing in the snow.

Brent helped the kids sled.

Ethan and Allie with their cousins

We were a little nervous driving down the rim with all the snow, but the trip turned out to be so much fun.
