Dallins 6th Birthday

Dallin turned 6 years old so we decided to have a pirate birthday party for him and his little friends. They all got to dress up like pirates. We played pin the treasure on the X (x marks the spot), going on a treasure hunt, and how many beans can you get in the jar. Then they opened presents and had pirate cake and icecream. It was a great time. Weston and Porter loved playing too. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Bear lake trip

We went to Bear Lake over president's day weekend and it was a blast. We got there on Friday night. On Saturday everyone who new how to snow ski went up to Beaver Mountain and went skiing. Tony was designated baby sitter due to the fact that he doesn't know how to ski. The skiing was awesome and very relaxing. On Sunday Tony went for one of his long hikes up the mountain above the cabin. He had a great time. The boys loved playing in the snow and sledding down the road. Here are just a few pictures for you to view of this fun trip.

Counting our blessings

Lately Tony has been having a hard time controling the effects of his Diabetes and it always seem to happen early in the morning. The other night/morning I was awakened not by the children like usual, but by Tony who had somehow made it out of bed and come around to my side to shake me awake. Now for those of you who don't know when your body sugar gets low, some people are lucky enough to wake up on there own, but Tony never seems to be able to do that so it always ends up being me who finds him near death laying next to me in our bed, so having him wake me up was a miricle. Anywho,to what I was saying, Tony somehow was able to wake me but as soon as my mind kicked into gear and took over the situation, whatever angel was helping him left. I am truely grateful for the fact that our heavenly father loves my family so much that he will help me take care of them at whatever time of day or night it is. I truly believe that without him my life would be a whole lot different and Tony would not be here with me now.

Christmas time is over but we had so much fun while it was here. The boys were so much fun this year and their excitement level was awesome. Here are some of the fun pictures that we took this year. Hope you enjoy them.

First snowday of the winter

There was finally enough snow for the boys and I to go outside and play in. We made a small snowman and then went sledding on the hill behind our house. Porter loved the snow. Porter also loved to sled down the hill with the big boys. We of course had to come inside after we were done playing and have hot chocolate. I didn't get much else done today but at least we had a good time together and knowone got in trouble!

Wonderful Imaginations

The boys love to make any boxes that I have emptied into a boat. This box happened to be big enough for all three to fit.
This is also a great way to entertain for a couple hours when it is to cold and snowy to go outside.

Christmas fun

These are pictures of our annual christmas tree run. I love to pick my own tree. The boys love going to help. Its a christmas tradition.
