Finally! A Snow Cave

Josh and Emma have been wanting to make a snow cave all winter. We have had plenty of snow and they got snow suits for Christmas, but it's been so cold! Josh worked on a mountain a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't stay out long enough to get it done. In the last couple of days, we have had snow storms off and on. I had to shovel the driveway yesterday, so I shoveled it all into one big pile. Josh and Emm came out to start digging the hole and couldn't stop till it was done! They were so excited to finally have a snow cave! They didn't enjoy the finished product much yet because it took so long to make it. Maybe today they will actually play in it.

The Best of Both Worlds

WOW! What can I say? I had to check the kids out of school early to see the one and only Hannah Montana .. and Miley Cyrus .. and the Jonus Brothers .. in 3D! It was a movie released in theatres for one week only of the "Best of Both Worlds" concert that came to Salt Lake City months ago. Tickets to the concert sold out in minutes, resulting in a second night at the Energy Solutions Arena (and a lot of very upset parents). The tickets were expensive to start with, but as people started listing them on the internet, the price was upwards of $1500. Thats for one ticket! So, that was a lesson to be learned for many young girls. No pop star is worth that much money. Needless to say, we did not see the concert live. Instead, we payed $15 a ticket to sit in a theatre with 3D glasses and a bucket of popcorn. The kids had fun. Mom had a riot.

Superbowl Sunday

We always look forward to the Superbowl! Not really because of the game - more for the food and friends. But, I have to admit, this years game was a good one. We partied at Brady and Melinda's in Stansbury Park this year. The kids had so much fun together. Can you imagine? Five hours of uninterupted fun? We were worried about the drive home with all the snow we've had lately, but the roads were clear. This year has been so cold and snowy! Church was cancelled yesterday for several stakes. Magna and West Valley, however, seem to get the least amount.

Slumber Party

Who says you can't have a slumber party in the middle of winter with all your cousins? The kids can't ever seem to get enough of each other, so we had them all stay overnight last friday. They are party animals! They watched High School Musical (sing-a-long version), ate caramel popcorn, set up tents, wrote notes to each other, and stayed up late. Too much fun!

It was time again to take the kids to get their pictures taken. As hectic as it always is, I was all smiles with the end result. The kids are gorgeous! Before I had even gotten the kids in the car to come home, Jer called my cell to tell me how great they turned out. He was sitting at work viewing them on his Blackberry on e-mail. His co-workers caught him grinning from ear to ear and had to see what he was looking at. He is such a proud papa!
