Sledding

We took the kids sledding this past weekend. It was a lot of fun....mostly for those who could go sledding =( (yes that was a poor me moment) The hill was a good size and the kids really got into it. Really that last couple seasons they only remember the little hills I make for them in the yard or the big snow mountain left at the end of the street by the snow plow. So they really enjoyed "real" sledding for once. It was raining in our neighborhood, but by the time we made it up in the canyon the rain turned to snow and was so much fun. Because my pregnant fried brain I didn't notice my camara was on the wrong setting the whole time so these are the pictures we have to live with.

Valentines Day

Because Brad and I went out to dinner for Valentines Day I made a nice dinner for the kids at home. They loved the fancy settings (well fancy to them) and I served them as their waitress as if they were at a fancy restaurant. It was fun to make their dinner a big deal for them. They love the "special" occasions just as much as we do. Happy Love Day to all of you out there.

Alyssa's Baptism

Well this is it. Our little girl made the decision to get baptized. It was a beautiful day seeing her smiling at everything coming her way and dressed in white. She was very excited the whole week prior to her special day and couldn't wait. We had lots of family and friends there at her baptism supporting her on her day. Thanks for coming everyone. Grandma Marshall made her baptism dress from my wedding dress and she looked gorgeous. My mom has amazing talent and we all loved the dress that fit her perfectly. Its nice to put 1 baptism under our belt to know what to expect and how things go. Brad did a great job and made sure she was dunked all the way the first time.

Alyssa turns 8

Alyssa's Birthday turned out great this year. She loved her presents (especially her new webkinz), a wii singing game and a beautiful cake made by our neighbor as a surprise. I lucked out that she never asked me about her cake before her party so I didn't have to lie where it was coming from. She was a very happy girl by the end of the day. I can't believe she is the big "8" already!! Time flies by people.
