Nate's Birthday Bike Parade

Nate saw something fun in a book that he wanted to try out for his birthday... a bike parade! We had a few friends come over and the kids decorated their bikes (or themselves) with Batman decor and rode around the neighborhood.
 

 

Then they came home to eat ice cream cones and this beauty...(squint your eyes, maybe it looks like the Batman logo?? Ha!)

 

A fun birthday for our favorite 3-year-old!

What?

You've never seen slinky pants before? 

Hau`oli Lā Hānau

 

Carter had been planning her 8th birthday party since the day after her 7th birthday. She wanted a Hawaiian themed party with Hawaiian Punch and Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner.

Turned out to be a fun and silly night with all these cute girls!

 

Carter's Baptism Day

Carter's baptism day was a really special day. She had lots of friends and family members come watch as her daddy baptized her a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She got to participate in the program and sang a solo. We are proud of her decision to follow Jesus Christ.

 

Disneyland!

 

My brother Marshall and his wife Chelsea were so kind to let us stay with them for a week while we went to Disneyland! It was so fun to see Jack-Jack for a whole week and to be able to go to the parks together a few times.

We also got to see the Warrens a few days too! Standing in lines with kids is so much better when you have friends to be goofy with :)

The kids favorite part of Disneyland...the map! Ha!

Song- I Am a Child of God
Movie- Toy Story
Game- Toy Story Mania
Toy- Buzz
Treat- Jr. Mints
Animal- Dog

"Belle is my fabrit"

If you ask Nate who his favorite Princess is, he will definitely tell you Belle and this is probably why...

Belle gave him a big smooch right on the forehead,

which he wore the entire day around Disneyland.

He was a little bit silly and giddy afterwards too :)

New Year's Eve

Bowling Night

During Christmas break we went bowling with my family. The scores were pretty close but I think Cade ended up taking the win!

The kids had fun too. They got to bowl and be entertained by their Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles in between turns. Nate was a bit grumpy because he wanted bowling shoes so bad and they didn't have any in his size. He will still remind me every now and then that the next time we go to the "bowling center" he is getting shoes.

Snow Day

Easy target

After Christmas, we got to visit Robert's family in Show Low. The kids had a blast playing in the snow and it was warm enough that they even took off their jackets. I noticed Nate walking back and forth across the yard. He had found a pile of snowballs that someone had made and enjoyed having a non-moving target to throw them at.
