Tubing at Gorgoza Park and Chuck E Cheese

We went tubing at Gorgoza park yesterday in Park city! It was snowing a little but it was a BLAST! I can't wait to go again. This was the 2nd part to Connor's birthday party since lots of family couldn't make it on his birthday. Connor had a ball going on the tubes. He never left his tube once. He just got pulled around by Papa, Lance, Nick and Luke. The girls also had a great time tubing. I think the best part is just being with family. We were even happy that Wyatt decided to like it and not cry. We tubed for about 2 hours and then we ate at Chuck E Cheese. Connor still had gifts from Lance and Crystal and Grammy and papa to open. Kyle and Kade also came along for the day too. It was a great day and we all had so much fun!

**Little something to remember for us! Hannah was throwing a fit because she thought that Madi got more treats than her. She was screaming and kicking like a baby. Ridiculous for a 5 yr old, I know. But Connor said, "Oh, I think someone needs to go to bed!" It was so funny, Wes and I we laughing uncontrollably and Hannah got mad again and threw her snickers at Wes & I. So Connor said it again. I know it doesn't sound that funny but to hear it coming from them makes it hilarious! KIDS!!**

Thank you Grammy, Papa, Lance, Crystal, Nick, Luke, Todd, Kristin, Wyatt, Kyle and Kade for driving so far to come have fun with us! It means so much and we love having our family around!

**Pictures to come later!! I didn't take any so they are all on my moms camera.**

Happy Birthday Connor

Today was Connors 3rd Birthday! Wow, crazy how time flies when you are having fun!

We love this guy so much! He is so fun to be around and for the most part and pretty good kid. More detail to follow tomorrow.

We love you Connor!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

**Update on his party**

We just had a few family members over for his birthday this year. It was fun to have a small gathering and pay all the attention to the Birthday boy! We got pizzas from Papa Murphy's and had his Batman cake and Ice Cream. We couldn't find a Handy Manny cake and I didn't want to try to make one so he picked out Batman. He was so excited that Batman was on a motorcycle and it was in a garage. Oh, the simple joys of a child! He was so excited that he didn't even eat dinner with the rest of us. He just wanted cake and to open his presents. So we sang to him twice! Yes, twice because he blew out the candles before we could even start singing to him. So we lit the candles again and sang. He ate his cake while the rest of us ate pizza. He opened his presents off and on. He opened one from Kristin and Todd as soon as Kristin set it on the table. We told him he had to wait for grandma and papa. So as soon as they got there, he opened another one. He finally got to open all his presents and enjoyed each and every one. It was so fun to see him get excited for each present he opened. Last we brought out his bike. He was so excited and jumped right on. It took him just a minute to figure out the pedal thing and then he was off making circles around the kitchen.

He thoroughly enjoyed his cake, he had been eating on it for days and loves the frosting.

Thanks so much to Todd, Kristin, Wyatt, Kyler, Katie, Dana, Brian, Danny and Brylee, Grandma and Papa for coming to celebrate with us.

Ice Fishing

We took the kids Ice fishing last weekend and Connor loved every minute. Madison didn't want to go so she stayed at a friends house. Connor would get so excited every time he would catch a fish. Wyatt was as excited about them but still had fun. They also had a great time chowing down the Cheetos!

Connor also had to make snow angels like Cailou.

Look how cute he is! He was so excited.

Cheetos munching!

December 2009

Well I think we survived the month of December! Why do they always get so crazy? Here is just a few of things that we had fun doing!

CRAFT DAY at Cindy's

Here is Cindy making reindeer food with Hannah and Lexi! They loved this. Hannah was so excited to put it out for the reindeer.

SWISS CHRISTMAS!!

TREE HUNTING!!!!

This is the one!

LIGHT PARADE!

First of all, this was the BEST Light Parade that the City has ever done! It was organised by the City Beautification Team, They did an amazing job. I have NEVER seen so many floats in a city light parade before! Way to go GREEN TEAM!!

I know Connor does not look thrilled at all. He wanted to go ride in the tractor with papa and I made him stop and take pictures! Mean mom, huh!

The girls were just excited to be able to ride on the float! They got in trouble and weren't suppose to ride on it and their dad caved the last minute and let them ride! They promised they would be good after that!

The boys riding with papa!

Connor with Santa after the light parade. He loves Santa this year and wanted to see him everyday.

Hannah made me breakfast! Cranberry juice and frosted flakes! What more could I ask for! This was perfect!

WES' FISHING TRIP IN CABO!!

He went with his friend from Casper to Cabo for a week and had a blast!

They fished everyday and caught several Marlin ( I think it was 10), Dorado ( which is the fish below) and several other kids of fish!

Aaron

We had a family game night! It was alot of fun. We played SNORTA! if you haven't played that, you need to. It was fun and the kids had a blast. We also played Scattegories. Then later that night Santa came to our house to visit.

Connor was thrilled to have Santa come over. He loved it and still talks about Santa. He wants to go see him again.

Kyler with Santa! Wyatt screamed at the sight of Santa and I think will be terrified for the rest of his life. I have never seen a kid cry before like Wyatt did when Santa came over.
