One year older and hopefully wiser too!!

Grant and Mackenzie's birthday's are both in March. In fact, they are exactly one week apart. I found two really cute cakes in a magazine so I thought I would give them a try.

If you know Grant, you would know that he LOVES to ride
his motorbike. So I thought this cake would be perfect for him.
And he LOVED it!!! :)






The cake I found for Mackenzie was a pink poodle. It turned out pretty cute. Some friends from town were picking up some pizza from Papa Murphy's (You all know Papa Murphy's......take and bake) for us from Idaho Falls. When they were about 20 minutes away, they called to tell me to heat the oven. So I did just that.


The only problem was that I had stuck the cake in the oven to "keep safe" until it was time to sing "happy birthday". You can see for yourself just how "safe" that cake really was! (It wasn't until our friends had pulled up to our house that I remembered about the cake.) Nobody even got to see the cake. I thought it would have been fun to have it be a surprise. I guess the surprise was that there was no cake for my baby girls 10th bday!!! I cried.....then I laughed.



So the next day, I got up and thought I would try it again. This time I decided to make a sunflower cake. My frosting was to thick so I was unable to frost the sides of the flower pedals, but it was cute and delicious!! So we invited our friends back over for cake and ice cream....take 2!




I ♥ these 4 boys!!





Happy 10th birthday Grant and Mackenzie! We are soooo blessed to have you in our family!!!!

B~O~W~L~I~N~G

If you come to visit us in Arco, we will take you bowling and you will get to experience this excitement first hand!! (WARNING: This kind of fun will require a couple excedrin!)








This last video is my favorite. She gets so excited and does a little dance, but if you watch the ball, she only knocks ONE pin!! (But it guess it was still more exciting then her usual gutter ball!) lol

(And yes, our 2 little 7 yr olds are sliding all over on the floor. We are working at that!)

Little Boys!

Does anyone know where all the little hair elastics went??




Hmmm, I will ask Coleman. MAYBE he will know!!

Dance class

I can't get this video to upload in my hotmail, so I downloaded on here so my family can get a little preview of Mackenzie's dance!!! (sorry about the RUDE mom's talking in the background. They should be KICKED OUT!) :/

Snow Shoeing

I took the kids snow shoeing at the Craters of the Moon last month with some friends, and we had a great time!!!! For some reason my pictures are uploading funny, so I can't write and explain what they are. BUT...... Since it's hard to tell which kid is which when they are all wearing snow gear, in the first picture, I put an arrow on my kids!! We walked around for a few hours, then had lunch and then we went back to the van and everyone was EXHAUSTED!!!


















This last picture is 2 of the cute little girls I tend. I was talking on the phone and they both fell asleep!! (I was holding the little one, but obviously I put her down so I could take this cute picture!!) It was a good moment!!! ;)

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to the best husband EVER (and I can HONESTLY say that!)

We went bowling and then went to Grandma Hamm's house for a little party. He got bowling shoes for his bday but they came in the mail yesterday. (Those are the kind of gifts you get when you get old around here.) LOL

New Year's

I have been a little.......down in the dumps for the past 2 weeks or so. My emotions have been in an uproar and I haven't been able to snap out of it. However, I know this sounds horrible, but someone knocked on my door tonight and spilled all of her "problems" and after she left, I felt like I could breath again and honestly, I feel GREAT!!! I don't know why listening to someone else's problems has made me feel better, but it did and I am ready to move on!!

For new year's eve we went to a friends house and had a great time! Everyone was handed a "Snuggie" as a door prize. We all got a good laugh out of that!! All of the husbands played in a Pinball tournament, while the wives sat, talked and stuffed our faces!

Always gotta get a self taken picture. Eric had his mouth full of food, but he is still a cutie!

Heather pouring drinks for our New Year's toast!!

Boys and fire. I just don't understand the thrill.

Scott and Eric. Fire them up boys!!!

It was a rule that when in the championship round, the guys had to wear the snuggie.

I love this guys so much, that you get to see this picture twice!!!

Bryan and Kylee

Obviously, this was Not the championship round! lol

Me and my BFF (Cheree). I am holding her nephew, Leo.

Happy 2010
