We had a fun little weekend getaway to Estes Park over President’s Day. Which also coincided with Valentines Day this year. The weather was supposed to be beautiful and sunny. So imagine our surprise when it was windy, freezing and snowy the ENTIRE weekend. Good thing we had a fun, cozy condo to snuggle up…
My very favorite Valentine tradition is to Heart Attack bedroom doors. The week before Valentine’s Day we all sit down and write one or two things we love about the other members of our family. Then, every day of the week a new heart appears on their door. I love reading the sweet, tender, sometime…
We started the new year right. Jan 1 snuggles! We had a blast swimming at the Apex Center. When your human siblings won’t play cards with you, your fur siblings make a perfect stand in. Blake built his dino that he got for Christmas TapInfluence hosted the annual “After the Holidays Party.” This time…
We had a family night lesson on setting goals. I had seen a quote on Instagram that said, “A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.” They thought it was pretty cool to think…
Just want to give a shout out to this amazing, self-motivated girl! At the beginning of last year, Stephanie Cope, the Beehive adviser, gave her girls a challenge to read the BOM in a year. She had a time line all printed out on what the girls should read each day. Halle was not yet…
We sure know how to Party Hard. The fun didn’t stop after Christmas, that’s for sure. Sat morning my Dad told Josh he had a suprise for him and told him to get in the car. My Mom, Landon, and Rusty came too. On the way over they asked him if he had any idea…
Santa found us again! We woke up to a VERY white Christmas morning. Our kids never wake up early on Christmas, a fact that Landon and Cole are pretty grateful for. They got up around 8 and everyone gathered round to see what Santa brought. Their eyes grew huge as they took in their GIANT,…
All our Christmas Events were so fun I think they all deserve their own post! After we got home from skiing and a quick shower, the Cornell festivities began! We had the traditional Costco ribs for dinner along with rolls, cheesy potatoes and a pear salad. Delicious! Then we dressed the kids up for the…
Josh was very unsure that he wanted to ski on Christmas Eve. I floated the idea of him taking a lesson, and after MUCH coaxing, Rusty agreed to give it a try. We showed Josh some videos of lessons and of the magic carpet on YouTube and pretty soon he agreed to go. After we…
We knew the roads were going to be snowy on our drive to Utah so I was determined to have everything in order for a nice early start to our trip. We packed the car, set out shoes, and I even put the protien powder and peanut butter and banana in the blender so all…
