Girls weekend and Boys Jazz Night...

January was the month to have a little fun.  It's always good to do some things to take your mind off the cold dreary weather.  I hadn't seen my high school friends for a little while so I decided to invite them for a little weekend to the lake.  Ya I know, too bad the lake was frozen.  But really when you have girls, good food, and a fire, you don't need the beach....okay who am I kidding, we still need the beach but we had just as much fun staying in watching the snow fall.  I have such great friends....I mean really great friends.  We pick up right where we left off and act just as stupid as did almost 20 years ago.  I am so grateful for them and hopefully we can hang at the beach soon!

Also during this fabulous month, Russel took all three boys to see the Jazz.  They got there extra early and was able to get some signatures from their favorite Jazz players....pretty cool.  And of course Dad can be a real softie at times....so heck new jerseys all around...why not?

In all the years of going to the Jazz game, we have never once made it on the Jumbotron.....Ever.  But oh ya my boys know how to dance like crazy ones and of course they were the stars of that night. Wish I could've seen them.....maybe I should take some lessons in maniacal dance.

Meili's 6th Birthday...

Meili's only request this year was to spend her birthday in Bear Lake.  That was not a problem.  Since it was also Raspberry Days that weekend, my family planned to come spend a fun-filled weekend with us.  Russel and I decided to come the night before and bring the three little kids with us.  We thought it would be super fun to go down to the KOA and rent a 6-person bike and ride around town.  It was a little harder than we thought since Russel and I were pretty much the man power.  We kept telling the kids to start pulling their weight and get pedaling!  JD kept complaining a little that his heart was hurting.  Well he's definitely a little athlete so I'm just thinking he's being lazy.  I kept telling him to get his groove on and get moving. Well after about an hour we returned the bike and went for snow cones.  The best snow cones in all of Bear Lake.  Yum!  Anyway, JD kept saying his heart was going so fast and I kept brush...

Simple Joys.....

A couple of Sundays ago, all the kids were out playing on the deck. It was a beautiful night. The wind and the rain started up and Meili just went crazy. She loved every second. It was so wet and so windy and she just couldn't get enough. They ran back and forth from one end of the deck to the other at least 100 times. Here are a couple of pictures of our two beautiful girls in their beautiful dresses from China. Meili was in no mood for pictures but we did our best before she really just wouldn't put up with the camera in her face any longer. Today Abi was out on the deck with Meili just playing. Abi managed to capture perfectly that sweet little fun personality of Meili. Here's just a glimpse....

Here We Go....

Well, for the most part we are ready to get on that plane!! We have all the stuff from the Eagle Project packed up and ready to go and all of Meili's stuff is packed....and nanny gifts, and guide gifts, etc. There's a heck of a lot of stuff we are taking that thankfully we get to leave there. We have our flights booked. We leave Wednesday the 28th at 5:00 and reach Beijing at 11:30 p.m. on Thursday! It'll be a long flight but also very exciting. We tour around in Beijing for a few days and are still working out the details but plan to spend a couple of visits with Meili. Her 3rd birthday is on Sunday and we are hoping it works to bring her cake and have a little party. Our itinerary is a little messed up right now. They first told us we would be meeting her in her province on August 2......when we got the itinerary it has us down for picking her up on the 3rd and flying to her province on the 2nd. I questioned my agency and they weren't sure why the difference....
