Jon's Blue and Gold Banquet

Each of the boys were asked to make a cake for the banquet. Jon made a volcano cake and there was crumbled up heath bar on top and a cup of dry ice to look like steam that came out of the top.

Just a few pictures of one of our trips to the Aquarium.

Visiting the Aquarium in February

So I am WAY behind on Blogging. Going to try to sum up this past year throughout the upcoming posts. My kids love the Aquarium, we have a membership there and I LOVE taking the kids there especially in the winter when you are so sick of being inside and it is too cold outside to do much. We can spend several hours there or we can pop in for a few minutes that's what I love about the membership.

Syd's Birthday

Syd's Birthday was kinda a bummer for her. She was so sick. Just kept throwing up all day long. I am so happy that Syd is MY girl. She is so sweet and nice and talented. I couldn't imaging my life without her. She is now 9 years old and looking so grown up. She got new clothes from Justice for her birthday and a spa factory where she can make lip gloss and perfume.

Christmas Breakfast

This is our annual Christmas breakfast. Egg casserole, cinnamon rolls, OJ, potatoes, and bacon and martinellis. Of course we use "the Santa" mugs which are only taken out on Christmas Day. We had a yummy breakfast!!!

gingerbread house

Grandma sent us a gingerbread house. The kids could hardly wait to put it together. We had so much fun, I had to put aside my OCD and let the kids assemble it and load it with candy. So what if it isn't the "perfect" house, they had fun and that's all that matters.

Jones Christmas Party

This year Jon decided that he was too old to sit on Santa's lap. He was SO not excited for this photo opportunity. My kids are growing up way too fast. Bennett was SOOOO stinkin' excited.

Payson's Chef Birthday Party!

Payson's Birthday was December 18th. She wanted a huge extravagant party. We were able to come to a compromise and do a cooking party. I made chef hats and aprons. The girls made personal pan pizzas and gingerbread houses. The houses didn't quite turn out, but they had fun decorating the cookies nonetheless. All in all it turned out great. While the girls were eating their pizzas they decided to smash their FACES into their pizzas, covering their faces with grease. GROSS!!! We has a blast and it was by far the easiest party ever!!!

King Wyatt

my King Wyatt. Wyatt was the Burgar King this year. So I made the blue velvet tunic and he used his nacho libre cape.

Halloween parade at school

At the kids school they had a parade, we lined up down the halls and saw all of the kids walk by. I wasn't able to get Jon's pict (my camera was freaking out). The girls looked so cute. Syd looked so spooky, as a prom vampire; and Payson was a cute witch.

park city

These are just a few of the highlights of our trip to park city. We swam and swam and swam. The water was really warm so I went swimming too. It was SOOO nice to get away from life.
