A day with the boys

For Alex's birthday, told him he could choose a few friends and we could go to Salt Lake to celebrate. These are some of his best buddies from school.

We went and saw Avatar in 3D.

We had a good time. One of Alex's favorite foods is Chinese. After the movie was over we headed to P.F. Changs for some YUMMY food.

He has a fun bunch of friends and we had a GREAT time!

G.N.O.

Tonight I decided to have a "girls night out" We went to dinner at Wendy's

Met up with one of Bizzy's favorite teachers from pre-school

Went to watch the USU gymnastic team compete against Boise State AND we got to meet Big Blue!

To end the night, we got signatures from all the girls. I had a really great time hanging out with my girls.

lost......

I picked Bizzy up from school on Monday and she had lost her tooth. She had a really loose one on the bottom that we have been working on for about a week so I was surprised to see that her top one had just fallen out! She was so excited and has not stopped smiling.

'cause we all just wanna be big rock stars!

My friends Megan and Candace came over for dinner and some rock band last night. These guys were my first friends when I moved to Logan 4 years ago. Candace (in the green sweatshirt) is now going to the U and so we don't get to see her very often. Megan (rockin' the drums) is at USU and we will graduate this year together. We had a great time last night.

Candace showing us how it is really done with the mic!

Megan rocks the guitar! The song below shows our stats for the song. If you will notice the guitar got 100% on the intro. That was ALL Megan!

I love being here in Logan! I have had the opportunity to get to know some really amazing people. I know that I am truly blessed by the people who are in my life and the lives of my children. Oh ya, WE ROCK!

Call now.....

I was in the bathroom this morning doing Andreas hair and Bizzy came running into the bathroom like something was really wrong. She said, "mommy, you have to come here RIGHT NOW!" I asked her what was wrong and she said, "nothing but you really need to see this cat toy. I think Turbo (our hamster) would love it. Actually she needs it mommy" I told her that I didn't have time to go see because I needed to do her sisters hair. She reluctantly left the bathroom but returned 5 minutes later with the paper posted above. She drew the toy and wrote the number down for me so I could call. Again, she explained all the good things Turbo could do with the toy and then added, "If you call right now mom you can two for the price of one AND you get a brush for her hair!" I love my kids. They crack me up!

Why so serious?!?!

Alex had a friend over today, he brought some face paints and this is what they ended up with. I think he makes a pretty good joker.

They also designed the girls. Andrea is a cat and Bizzy is a mime.

MEOW!

Bizzy trying to get out of the box. It was funny to watch them.

The pictures are a little out of sequence but I didn't want to delete this picture. It reminds me of how thankful I am for kids that get along. Even though Alex is older, he still treats his sisters well and doesn't mind hanging out with them.

Alex turns 12!

December 29th, Alex turned 12. My dad has been with us the last 2 years for my birthday and he would help the kids make me breakfast in bed. This is a tradition that the kids really like so we made Alex breakfast in bed to start his birthday.

Then the girls let him open one of the presents they got him......stretchy body parts.

Later that night we had some cake and ice cream and opened the rest of his presents. He asked for the new Mario game for the Wii and Deb wanted to surprise him so she wrapped it in a towel and then wrapped it in paper so he wouldn't be able to guess. He was really surprised when he opened it.

he got a few new movies, a shirt, a suit and ties and his friend took him snowboarding. He said it was the best birthday ever!

Oh ya, he also got an authentic cheese-head! The Green bay Packers are his favorite team and now he will feel complete watching the game!
