Happy Day

We are having a wonderfully relaxing Sunday here...we had muffins, peaches and chocolate milk for breakfast, some geese just flew by honking, Sean Jason and Kyle are getting some pre-church jitters out by playing football in the snow and building snowmen, Riley's taking a nap...does it get better?

My mom made me, Kyle and Riley these CUTE hats! Kyle and I wear ours all the time. Riley will wear his for about 5 minutes, which is quite impressive actually. Thanks mom!!!

They really are best friends.

This one cracks me up. Such funny boys we have. I love how Kyle wants to do whatever the 'big boys' are doing.

My AWESOME friend Katie threw me a 'better late than never' 30th birthday party for my 31st and we had such a great time! Check out her amazing cake. This was the first time she ever made fondant and it was so cute! Inside was a mint chocolate layer cake. Yummy!

These are my super fun friends. Thanks everyone!

The pre-party celebration was me, Kirstin and Katie night skiing. I LOVED it!!! I am so lucky to have such great friends.

So the next week, I had to have Katie teach me how to make fondant and this is what we created. Sweet, huh? Inside was a vanilla cake with lemon curd and buttercream frosting. Not bad!

Riley's sucker after a haircut. I think he is looking so much like Sean did.

A Few Snapshots of Life

We haven't fallen off the map, we've just been enjoying the BEST holiday season ever! It was very relaxed and fun. Here is an update on the past couple of months...

We took family pictures. We set up a tripod in the field, put our camera on timer, and got some great shots.

Halloween...Kyle was a "bad" pirate, Jason was GI Joe Snake Eyes, Riley was a pirate (till it got cold and then he was a fleece zebra), and Sean was a ninja.

Decorating our homemade gingerbread house. Yummy!

Ben and I celebrated 11 fantastic years together! I feel so lucky every day!

We built a snow igloo in the backyard. It is still standing!

Jason took Ben duck hunting. Kyle was as excited as they were.

Christmas Eve sliding on the ice at the lake.

Christmas Day...

Riley had no problem understanding what all the fun was about. Of course, he had as much fun with the packaging as he did with the presents.

Kyle's face here says it all.

Kyle and Riley playing with their Book of Mormon action figures from Elder Grandpa and Sister Grandma serving a mission in Hawaii.

Jason, our big Broncos fan, got a Broncos jersey, Broncos poster and even a Broncos ornament.

Sean sporting his much-desired football helmet and pads. So tough!
