J.D.'s 10th Birthday....

This boy ALWAYS has the biggest smile on his face.....even when he's mad at me he can still manage a smile.  JD invited a couple of friends and decided he wanted to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.  It was a great day and these boys had a lot of fun.  I think JD chose BWW because of the bottle of sauce you get for your birthday.  And of course did he choose the hottest he could get?  Yep, nothing is too hot for this kid.  The hotter the better!







We had a great family party as well.  My kids LOVE this tradition and love spending time with cousins.  JD ordered up pizzookies instead of cake with Grandma Jo's homemade chocolate sauce.  

JD also earned his Bear Scout Award and has officially moved on to the Webelos group.  Wow! Crazy.....I just realized the other day that this year will be the last for the Pinewood Derby for our family.  Next year JD will be in 11 year old scouts.  Most things are a little sad to me when my kids move on and grow up but I actually did a little happy dance as I thought about that.  I think that's the first time I've looked a chapter that would be closed forevermore and not been sad.  Hehe.  Don't get me wrong, the derbys are fun....but I'm totally okay to just remember them in my head every year.  
JD you are a great kid.  You have been blessed with many talents and we are so proud of you.  JD always remember to do your very best in everything you do.  You have so much potential and we never want you to settle for anything but the best.  Thank you for doing your part in our family and being part of the team!  We can do hard things when we work together.  Thanks for being such a great student and always being respectful of your teachers.  That is a wonderful quality to have and will serve you well in life.  And thanks for being a great friend, brother, and son.  We love you and hope you had a wonderful birthday!!  Xoxoxo.

Meili's 6th Birthday...

Image
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...

Girls, Girls, Girls....

So I have a lot of catching up to do in the blogging world. Several things have happened this month so I am devoting however long it may take today to get everything posted. This past weekend Abi invited 4 friends to go to the Nutcracker with her and Meili....of course Russel and I tagged along as well. We went to the matinee showing and beforehand they had a Sugar Plum Fairy Tea Party that was an absolute must. All the girls dressed up in fancy dresses and we had a great time. The tea party was decorated like a little girl's dream. Pink everywhere, sparkles covering everything, gooey pink sweet dessert, and many performers from the show mingling and taking pictures. Abi is truly blessed to have such good friends and this is only just a handful of them. The girls were so cute and had a great time. During intermission, we ran across the street to the famous Bluebird Restaurant to get them chocolates and candy (wonderful suggestion from Courtney). Oh...and it was also quite a...

Beautiful Drive up Logan Canyon...

Image
On Saturday, we decided to take a little drive up the canyon and look at the beautiful fall colors and my oh my were they gorgeous!! We've been up there twice this week and just can't get enough. This time we remembered the camera. :) The kids loved seeing the vibrant leaves. The drive is truly an hour of awesomeness. Plus it's always nice to know there's a very yummy fresh raspberry shake waiting for you....not to mention chocolate covered raspberries. Just a few of our favorite moments in Bear Lake. Here are a few of the "hundreds" of pics that Russel took. He has "trigger finger." I think I narrowed it down pretty good though.....although sometimes it's hard to tell if #95 looks better #3. :)
