Adelle's Birthday Dinner

Me- Adelle, where do you want to go eat on your Birthday?
Adelle- The Lion
Me- The Lion? I dont know that restautant.
Adelle- you know- the pool
Me- We cant go to the pool- it isnt open yet it is still too cold.
Adelle- No- where they jump in the pool and the fire.
Me- Oh- OK we can eat at the Mayan.




With the fire breathing cast member. This guy absolutely terrified my poor nephew. Adelle obviously doesnt mind that there is a mostly naked man right next to her.

Mardi's Birthday

Threw a small little surprise party for Mardi for her birthday. Had some friends stop by and had cake and ice cream. VERY low key! But it was still fun.




Girls Night Out Birthday Tradition- We take the Birthday Girl out to dinner to the restaurant of her choice. This is a tradition we have done for the past 2 or 3 years with Mardi, Heather, Ciara and me. This year we invited a couple extra girls. We almost always end up eating at Happy Sumo because it is everyones (except Ciara) favorite.



Sweet little Beckham's 1st Birthday Party. (I totally stole these pictures off Mardi's blog.)

Superbowl Tradition

While I dont really enjoy watching football (or any other sport really) and my husband only usually watches BYU games- we still indulge in some Superbowl traditions. Well OK- really only one- but we have done it since our first Superbowl Sunday together- before we were even married...



7 Layer Dip



Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Teachers presents I made for Valentines Day. What teacher cant use soap and hand sanitizer? Especially during flu season! And they are non-fat-ening!!





Adelles Valentines Bag- made 30 min. before preschool started- when I realized she needed something to hold her valentines in. No- the top isnt finished, but we needed to leave. And yes you can still see where I drew out her name to stitch over it. Oh well- it served its purpose and maybe I will do better next year!







Her valentines she handed out. She wanted to hand out these candy bracelets, so I cut up strips of double sided paper and stapled them on. She wrote her name herself on most of them (until she got tired of doing it.)

Thought process

Let's see what I have in my hand.



think think think



I wonder what they have.



What should I do?



I can't believe she played that.



Yes- I'm cute.

3 zero

In honor of Jeremy's 30th birthday I decide to throw him a 70's party to honor the decade in which he was born. We ended up doing a Murder Mystery Party.

The cake isnt that pretty, but it is the best. tasting. cake. EVER!



We hired 2 babysitters for the night to keep an eye on the kids while us grown ups had fun. They came down for dinner (we had Cafe Rio chicken and pork salads/burritos.) When the boys noticed we were all dressed up weird, they put on their pirate costumes.



Here is Kenadee getting in on the action with her Uncle's costume.
