February? Where did you go?

My, My, My. . . . Where did February go? This month has been packed with celebrations! Of course, Austin turned the big "4", even though he said he didn't want to. He had a bowling party with 1 other boy and, of course, 4 little ladies. He's starting young. We had a fun valentine dinner complete with pie amid candle light (Abby's idea) and I'm waiting for Terry to return home from a business trip so we can celebrate our 9th year of marriage! We celebrated Presidents' Day at the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. The kids were able to make three quarter hats, a copy of the Declaration of Independence, and even write in old english. We were there for a few hours, so we ended up doing a little bit of everything, even participating in the play of Davie Crockett. Abby started ice skating lessons this week, Austin is still trying to be the man in charge while dad's away (he has a "serious" face when trying to solve things, which is sooo cute), and I am just trying to stay organized. Life is wonderful and we are truly blessed. Love you all!

Us for Now

We're finally sharing pics and news!!! Yay!
Birthdays, birthdays, snow, snow, tubing, snow, and more snow!! Can anyone say S-P-R-I-N-G
I'm ready!! But, the kids have loved every minute of January so far. Abby turned the big #7 and had a birthday party with a few friends at the rec center's indoor pool. Austin is looking forward to his b'day #4 on Feb. 5th. Of course it is a Lightning McQueen party (but we're going bowling!). He has developed a love for the sport thanks to the Wii. Terry has been staying busy with work and me, well, I'm just "doing the deal "and loving it. Just finished the book called Left to Tell about the Rwandan genocide. I would highly recommend it! Amazing story!!! (Did I mention, amazing?) Well, enjoy the pics!! love to all!
