Happy 34th?!

I cannot believe that Dave is 34 years old!!! Okay, so his birthday was March 3rd! I am still in shock that we are getting so old! The kids had an absolute blast on his birthday! Let's just say that long gone are the days of the "perfectly" decorated cake, wrapped gifts ect... The kids love being involved and so even though it is hard on the perfectionist in me, I have turned it over to them! I honestly get so much joy from watching them and see the excitement in their eyes over the smallest things! Poor Taya was sleeping during all the fun, so she missed out on all the pictures! Another huge blessing was the fact that my mom and dad were in town! We NEVER get that treat, so we were in heaven! We actually got a babysitter and went out to celebrate! Dave's favorite restaurant in the world is Lawry's Prime Rib, so we went there for dinner and then walked around downtown Vegas. We had such a great time!


Dave's favorite breakfast with his new Webkins on his shoulder! He got a bulldog because he sold his real one last year!


Decorating the birthday cake!




The finished product!


It took all 3 of them to put our that fire!!! Yes we did have 34 candles on the cake!

Will you be my Valentine?

Okay, I know I am so late, but please be patient with me as I catch up. I am actually printing my blogs at the end of the year as a journal/scrapbook. Plus, I loved the pictures of my kids on Valentine's Day. We had such a fun day. Kyson and Tylee each made a special gift for their teachers full of the teacher's favorite soda and treats! And of course they took their Valentines to school and brought TONS of candy home! The kids came home to find "surprises" on their beds! And of course they got a special Valentine in the mail from Grandma & Grandpa Holbrook. G&G Holbrook are always so great to remember every single holiday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Holbrook!!!

Park Day!

The weather here is gorgeous! We have been taking advantage of days at the park before it gets too hot. Taya absolutely loves the swings! It is so fun to have her be able to take part in the park days too!










Is anyone there?


Here comes Kyson!!!

Free Ice Cream!!!

Tylee's preschool class took a field trip to Anderson Dairy at the end of January (I know I am WAY behind!) Anyway, they had a great time! There are several "talking" animals at one point of the tour, open glass where they can view dairy products being made and packaged, and then the freezer where they make and keep the ice cream. As soon as the kids get to the hallway next to the freezer, storm sounds begin to play and then dry ice is let out through the vents out into the hall. Tylee was terrified! She jumped up in her teacher's arms as fast as she could. She would not walk in the dry ice at all! I was too far behind to get a picture of the event, but it was hilarious! Of course all of the kids' favorite part was the FREE ICE CREAM!!!





Taya on the tour! She loves going along on the field trips with her siblings!!!



My poor little Taya is not only lactose intolerant, but is also allergic to soy products...so no ice cream for her! You can see that she was not too happy about it either!

Look out MJ!!!

I cannot believe that I did not blog during Kyson's entire basketball season!!! He played basketball this winter for his first time on a "team". He loved it! He did so great! I am thoroughly enjoying my little athlete! It is so much fun to see him enjoy every sport he tries! We love going to the games, and the girls are of course Ky's biggest fans!!!

Don't Pass Out!!!

Okay, I have finally come to the conclusion that I absolutely cannot do the backgrounds with a theme!!! I am not as diligent as I would like to be with this whole blogging thing. It has been way too long since I have posted! So much has happened! I will try to get caught up soon!
