DeJavu'?

After we went to dinner for Valentines, we ran to Walmart to get a few things....came around the corner of one of the aisles and found this sight! It was quite funny actually. Tricycle racing in the Aisle at Walmart! That's definatley a new one!

Valentine Runner-Up!

Since I am the RoomMom in Stockton's class, I was there doing his class party. Each child had to create a Valentine Holder...and out of 25 students, Stock's "Garbage Can eating Valentine Box"....was in the Top 7 that were voted on. You can't see the cute Googly eyes on the lid, but it was very creative! Way to go little man!

A new Look for Sedona!

Snow on the Red Rock was definatley a sight to see in Sedona! The pictures do not do justice how beautiful the Rocks really were. The Big storm was just rolling in, in these pictures so it was very dark and cloudy. But we had an awesome time. We are going back in the summer cuz the kids are DYING to do Slide Rock! It would've been just a tad chilly this time of year. :)

More of Wing Mountain...

Stocky learned to Snow Board when we visited my parents in Colorado on their mission....and LOVED it, so of course he had to do it again. Still loves it , but I think he had more fun cruisin' down the mountain and jumps on the snow boogie board. He is definatley a FABULOUS boy, being good at any sport he tries. My camera batteries died before I got pictures of Tater comin' down the mountain...but she had more fun just hiking, rolling around and EATING the snow! She said she just needed some flavoring and she'd be in Heaven!

Wing Mountain Snow Park!

Playing in the snow.... there was some snow, but the majority of it down poured the morning we left....THANK GOODNESS! Its fun to visit and play in but I am thankful to live in the good ol' LAND OF SUNSHINE!

A Birthday in Sedona!

For Brians birthday, the kids and I decided to BIG time surprise him and take off for the weekend, going to Sedona, and up Oak Creek Canyon to play in the snow in Flagstaff! We had the car all packed and ready and he really had NO clue about our surprise! He walked in the door from work on Friday nite, we gave him an envelope with a map of Sedona in it.....he changed his clothes and we were off....15minutes later! It was a super fun weekend. All four of us had a great time just being together. Well, except for the last day anyway.....I woke up that morning sicker than ever and found out that nite when we got home, that I had pneumonia. Holy Cow, that stuff is brutal! I have not been that sick for a very very long time! I told Brian and Stockton that I had a totally new perspective of their breathing issues, using the SVN breathing machine and all..... and I didn't like it ONE BIT! Its amazing the challenges we all have and the appreciation we SHOULD have for the challenges that we don't! :)

Monsters vs. Aliens

I had to take this picture cuz it was too cute! Although the Movie clip was super short, the kids LOVED it and are totally looking forward to it coming out in August! They laughed and giggled in excitement as they watched.

Super Cards?

Tater supported our Home Team, probably her support had something to do with them having a PINK jersey! At least SOMEONE from our house had to support our boys! Brian was a trader too, since he served a mission in Pittsburgh, he thinks it justifies his vote! Whatever!

Super Steelers?

Stockton and Brenden had a blast waving their Steelers Terrible Towels and cheering at the TV in their "Big Ben" jerseys! :) Brendens Mom is from Pittsburgh and since I'm not a HUGE football fan, (shocker).....I couldn't convince Stock to vote for the Cards! Trader!

Headed to the Winners Circle!

Recieving his awards, 1st Place baby!

Drivers START YOUR ENGINES!

Last nite was the Cub-anapolis 500 at Pack Meeting. It was awesome and Stockton ROCKED the race track. We knew he would, because he is small but SUPER fast. He took 1st Place and was a very proud little dude. After the 1st lap, he had to come in for a "pit" stop and his "pit crew" (brian, tater and I) had to "wipe off his windshield" (wipe down his face)...after 2nd lap he had to come in for "tire change" ( we had to remove his shoes, turn his socks inside out, put his shoes back on, and tie them up)...and he had to drink a cup of water...then ran his 3rd an FINAL lap! It was super cute. His racecar was made by he and his Dad, and they had fun making it. Way to go little man!

More Park Pictures

So, I am getting better at blogging, but am still far from professional about it. I made the cute slideshow below but couldn't figure out how to add these "vertical" pictures so they could be viewed horizontally! Oh well.....didn't want you to miss out on these cute pics tho! :)

An A+ for Stockton!

Stockton had to make a musical instrument for his third grade class at school. He chose to make a Xylophone. He and Dad had a good time making it and it turned out as cool as heck! Stockton's teacher said it looked like a real instrument and asked him if he really made it! Good thing Stock gets MOST of his "manly" job smarts from his Dad!

More Pedicure fun....

Pedicures for the Ladies!

So....for Aubry's birthday in October, we gave her a certificate for Dinner and Pedicure with Tatum. But, then Tater decided to break her foot. Needless to say, we finally "delivered" this present last weekend, now that the casts are all off! It was fun. The girls giggled their hineys off as their feet were tickled crazy in the process of getting beautiful! It was funny. Sorry about the glare on the photos....the pics were taken into a mirror, obviously.

Here we Go Blazers, Here we Go!

Carson and Aubs had a sleep over the nite before the kids' first game, and did the BEST 2-MAN Pyramid & Cheerleading, than I have ever seen! :) Well..... at least for 8 o'clock in the dang morning, and with only TWO of them! Way to go guys! Way to support your buddies!

Winter Season Begins!

BRIGHT and early, their first soccer game of the Winter season. Both on the same team! Yay for Mom! No more bouncing back and forth all over the world for practices and games! Well....at least until Spring, when they choose seperate sports again. :(

Round 2 for Tatum!

Here we go AGAIN.... her walking boot has been off for about a week and she's BACK AT IT! This time tho, little bro Stocky is joining her on the team, and is really excited. They are playing with the same league and several of the same kids from last season, so it will be fun. Lucky for me, I won't be bouncing back and forth between 2 different sports, 4 times a week. Needless to say, I am a very happy camper! Tatum is in physical therapy for the next couple of weeks, helping her get caught up kwiker on her "bounce back" from her injury, and so she will be game worthy. Her foot has slowed her down a little, but she'll be back in FULL swing, by the first few games! Go Blazers!
