My Angel Baby

Sarger brought me this little branch to a plant because it has hearts all over it. He wanted me to have it. That melted my heart. I love you Sarger. (Look at that little angelic face!)

Time for some kisses now Buddy.

Mormon Prom for Quincey

Here is the remains of a sign that Andrew Graham used to ask Quincey to the Mormon Prom. The sprinkler has it's way with it. Quincey is excited to go! Now....how to answer???

Daddy agreed to help Quincey answer. (Took a little begging on Quincey's part.) He dressed up in his gorilla suit. Quincey made a huge stuffed banana with the words, "Quincey says YES". Daddy took it to his seminary class and delivered the banana to him. It was great fun. (Daddy really is the best.) =)

The Impossible

Our family had an amazing experience. We all did a marathon. It was a major stretch to think that we could do this, but we all agreed that we wanted to try.

I believe that through this experience, all of our lives have changed in some way. It was that amazing.

It was a bonding experience. One that taught us not to underestimate ourselves.

It taught us that "the impossible" might not actually be impossible.

It was truly an exhilarating experience!!!!

Boston Did It!!!

Well, here are the spoils. Boston's scout troup had an activity where they made spears to go fishing with. They took them camping and tried their hand at spear fishing. Boston was the only scout to catch any fish. (Little ego boost.) It was a super fun activity for him. We ate the fish for Sunday dinner!

Gwendolyn Weiler Wins a Barron Award!!!

Red carpet and all, my friend Gwendolyn was awarded a "Barron Award" for being a Grand Champion Amazing Individual!

Valentines Dinner

Our Valentines Dinner this year was so delicious! Lobster was on sale at the store, so I went for it. We all had some experience with eating it for our trip to Maine last summer.

Can you tell the kids know what they are doing?

Our Valentines Getaway

Daddy surprised me with a weekend getaway for Valentines Day. This was our first time leaving our kids by themselves over night. It went great. Daddy signed us up for an "Urban Adventure", which is basically like doing an "Amazing Race" in one city. We got to know Dallas very well and saw all of the sights while solving riddles and answering questions. Super fun!

It was a super wonderful weekend and one to think back on often. Thanks Love.

Daddy's Superbowl Party

Daddy loves to throw a Super Bowl party for the family. It's all about junk food and everyone loves it.

At this point I have no idea who even played, but I remember hanging out together and eating and having fun. (I love Sarger in this picture. I VERY rarely buy soda, can you tell me is excited about drinking it?)

Sarger's Valentines Box

My boys always love to make monster valentines boxes. Totally fun.

Love this boy.

Never Too Old "For Show and Tell"

When the baby goats were born, Quincey wanted me to bring them in to her Orchestra class at school.

The kids loved the baby goaters.

Having Fun Anyway

Boston's basketball season this year was, well let's say kinda painful. Why? Because they lost every game. The good news is that I never saw Boston get very sad about it. He seemed to have fun anyway. I was super proud of him. It has been interesting watching my kids get involved in sports. I used to be so passionate about it when I was young. Now that my kids play, I have even more reason to get passionate, but have decided to take to relaxed route. Winning or loosing does not matter to me. (That's what I keep telling myself.) =)
