Too Cool!

Brody loves his skateboard. So while Karlee was riding her bike mom helped him. Why I did it I have know idea. (It would make sense because I ride skateboards all the time right.!) He has been practicing inside the house since Christmas. He takes that skateboard everywhere. My friend Sarah caught him jumping off of the playground onto it. Luckily we have had no broken bones so far.
He can ride and balance just fine on our drive way but to get going from standing still is still tricky. One day though. He was mad at me tonight because he now can no longer bring it inside because it will get the floors dirty. He does not like this at all because there were nights Danny and I caught him sleeping on top of his skateboard in bed. To bad I never got any pictures of that. He is way to funny.

Piece of Cake

Good job Karlee way to go!

So I think we waited way to long to teach her to ride a bike. Poor kid. Having four of them so close doesn't leave a lot of time for one on one attention. So by the time we went to teach her it was no big deal. She took right off the first time no wobbling at all. She has been asking us for a bigger bike for a long time now. We told her she had to learn to ride without her training wheels first. So she begged Danny to take her out. Looks like someone will be getting a knew bike sometime in the near future!

Almost a sleep over!

So the other night Brody and Caviston wanted to have a sleep over so I caved and let them. It started out great. They played their leapster games and were in there giggling forever. Finally Caviston was ready for bed but not Brody.

About ten minutes after I took these pictures Caviston came walking out saying he was ready to go home. Brody was keeping him up. We couldn't talk him into staying so Danny took him home. We'll try again soon.

Happy Valentines

How cute are we?

Valentines morning the kids came down to a little surprise. I made them a heart shaped message they could only see once they painted the paper. You write on white paper with a white crayon, then when they paint it the words appear. The kids thought this was great. I loved it because it kept them entertained while Danny and I made breakfast. We had heart shaped waffles and eggs. The kids had a good time. They also got the movie Madagascar 2 and few other fun things. They had sooo much fun you would have thought it was Christmas! Thanks mom for the memories and ideas that I have now passed on to my kids!

When I was a little girl my mom used to braid me and my sisters hair in a heart shape. So Karlee thought it would be cool to have one too. So I gave it a try. Looks pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Later that night we had a candle lit dinner with the four kidos. Brody loves when we get the candles out. They think it is the coolest thing ever.

Danny now has three girls to take out for Valentines. What a lucky guy!!

The only picture of me and my cute hubby. Thanks to Karlee for capturing the moment. What a good little photographer.

Today was a fun but long day. Thank so much to my wonderful husband who helped clean, cook and deal with four crazy kids all day without complaining. You really are the best! Without you this day would not have been possible. Thanks for the memories we are having with our family that will last a lifetime. It may seem long but we will look back and it will be over in a blink of an eye. I love you so much!

Time Out!

Brody always finds something to do in time out.

Utah her we come!

So we decided to take an adventure and make the long trek to Utah. It normally takes 9hrs. however on this occasion it turned into 14hrs. With four kids I don't suggest doing it. I do have to say that the kids were troopers. We saw two semi's roll and the roads were covered in ice.

The first thing the kids did when we got there was go out in the snow. Papa Mike
took them out on the 4wheeler and they has such a blast. Brody loves the snow, Jadyn thinks it's cold. She loves her flip flops and ran out in the snow bare foot she learned the hard way that she needs tennis shoes in Utah. Karlee loved whit washing her brother. Oh what fun snow is.

The snowman they made with Papa and Daddy.

My sister Tiffany with Jade and Codan! How cute are they!!

We love you Aunt Tiffy!!!

New Year's Eve we went with my family to eat. To bad I didn't get a picture of everyone!

Thanks mom and dad for having us we love and miss you so much!
