Happy Birthday Travis!

I can't believe it is May already and Travis is now 24. He is getting SOOOO old ;) For his birthday we spent the day with Khylee, celebrating her birthday as well. We went to Pocatello and roller skating at Deleta and ate lunch at Wingers. All in all it was a pretty good Day.

Tayven, getting ready to go skating!

Khy, I can't believe she's 5 already!!!!


At the skating rink, they announce the birthdays and play a birthday song for them. This is a picture of Khy and Trav getting sung to infron of everyone.

The party continued on Sunday afternoon, when we celebrated Travis, Khlyee and Grandma's birthdays with my family. What can we say....We like to party :D

This year Easter was so much fun! Saturday we met at the Church to watch the kids do an Easter egg hunt.(Because of all the snow we got on Friday the hunt had to be inside) After the easter egg hunt we went to my parents house to color eggs. All the kids are getting old enough that they actually want to participate in coloring eggs, so now the adults have to share.
On Sunday we got up to see what "The Easter Bunny" brought us. And then we headed out to my parents house for dinner with my Grandparents. We had such a good Easter and we hope you all did too!

Tayven wasn't quite sure what to do with it all, so he tried to dye a crayon instead.


Max had to do it himself...needless to say we ended up with quite a few cracked eggs

Go JaZz!

The last weekend we had the opportunity to go to Utah with my sister and brother in law. It was deffinately a much needed get way. We did way to much shopping and spent WAY to much money. But it was so worth it. We also went to the Utah Jazz game against the New orleans Hornets. It was such a good game, even though the jazz won by 20 points. We also went to Temple Square (I had never been before) and took a tour of the Conference center. We were able to go out on top of the building and see all the plants that grow up there. It was really cool to see all the historical paintings and stuff they have inside the buidling. All in all it was a pretty good weekend!

This is a picture from where we sat at the game. It was SOOO high up. We were sitting on the very top row of the upper bowl.

I can't believe that Christmas has come and gone and that we are now in a new decade! We had a great Christmas and new years.
On Christmas eve we got up early and headed up to Island Park to spend some time with John. Leslie and the kids. We spent the day riding snow machines and hanging out. We also made a village of ginger bread houses. Some turned out better than others.

Christmas Morning!

For breakfast Christmas morning Leslie had made us yummy Cinnamon rolls. After eating and opening presents we headed back to Rexburg to spend the rest of the day with my family. We had Christmas dinner at my Grandparents house. We are so glad they are still here with us. For the remainder of the day we played games and enjoyed each other. It was a Great Christmas! We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas too!

Tason's First Christmas!


Khylee could hardly wait to open presents. She would get one from under the tree and is was open before she could get back to her spot!

Candy Making!

Every year before Christmas, all the girls get together at Linda's and make candy to share. Every year someone has to make their candy atleast twice...and i guess this was my year. I decided to make toffee this year. It was a total experiment, I had never made it before. The first batch wouldn't set so it got dumped down the sink and i tried again. Need less to say, the second batch worked out alot better than the first. We have so much fun spending the day together laughing and have a good time. Its something i look forward to every year.


This is how Lyndsey spent most of the day. I guess candy making is just to much for her!

Tracy making her Yummy Russian Tea cakes

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree...

Last year we decided to make a tradition of cutting down our Christmas tree each year on the day after Thanksgiving. So last Friday we went to Island park for our little adventure. We drove around for what seemed like forever till we found our cute little tree! We spent the night at the Cabin, watching movies and hanging out just Trav and I.



Once we got the tree put up and all decorated we decied it really wasn't the perfect tree, its more like a Charlie Brown tree
