Cookies

The boys and I made sugar cookies last night. We had fun rolling out the dough and using the cookie cutters. The best part was decorating the cookies with lots of frosting and sprinkles. Logan preferred just to eat the sprinkles and Blake enjoyed the frosting.

Grandma Moss

My Grandma Moss passed away this last week on January 19th. She was a wonderful classy lady who lived a long healthy life. I am going to miss her greatly, but I am grateful for the many memories that I have of her. It's time like these that the gospel brings peace and happiness in my life. She is now back with her eternal companion, and I am sure she is working hard and keeping busy continuing with the Lords work. I love you grandma and miss you!

Big Helper

My boys are always helping me out around the house. They like to help me clean, do laundry, do dishes anything Rich or I am working on they ask to help out. After dinner one night Blake told me he was going to do the dishes that night and I could go sit down. So, I had to take a picture to pull out when he is older and show him that at one time he actually like to help out.

Computer is fixed

I am so happy to announce that our computer is finally fix after a month of being broken. I've been going crazy without it. Now I can catch up on my blog and all of yours.

Happy New Year

Several years ago we started doing a New York New Years party with my family. Instead of waiting until midnight to celebrate new years we celebrate it a 9:00 and watch the New York celebration. We did this so our kids can stay awake and join in the celebration.
We do a balloon drop from the ceiling, have confetti, horns, hats, and lots of food. It is a lot of fun.
We even had left over sparklers from the 4th of July that we played with. It was a fun night welcoming in the new year. After we celebrated we watched a movie from my parents projector. We got home at 11:55 and were in bed by 12:15 (yes, we are getting old).

Playing in the Rain

For about a week it rained and one morning during breakfast Blake asked if after his bath if he could take my umbrella outside and walk in the rain. I said sure but how about you go out before your bath. So my boys went outside and played in the rain for a little while. Logan got pretty wet since he preferred not to use the umbrella. The simple pleasures in life.

Christmas

We had an enjoyable Christmas with our families and friends. With both of families living so close we are able to spend time with everyone, which is nice. For Christmas our boys woke up to a new swing set in the backyard. It was unfortunately raining on Christmas so they only got a few minutes to play on it before it started raining again. They absolutely love their swing set and are outside everyday, all day playing on it.

Our boys are easy to please Logan got some new cars and was happy and Blake got his Star Wars Potato heads that he has been asking for. It was a nice relaxing Christmas.
