Happy Birthday to Mom!!

 My birthday was fantastic!  

I got to go out to lunch, take a long nap, eat pizza and then partake of this fabulous cake my kids made for me.  (notice the #3, that was the only candle we could find) luckily I have a great husband and he bought me a piece of cake from Magleby's (my favorite) and hid it in the refrigerator.  Then we ended the night by watching the Smurfs movie ( I am very ok if I never see it again)

 Then the next night we went to Toy Story Disney on Ice!  Chad was given 9 tickets to it. We were so excited!!  We ate at In N Out Burger first.

 Max enjoying his burger and fries.  He ate the entire thing!!  I am going to be in trouble in the grocery bill dept with all of these boys!!

 Anxiously awaiting the show

We had a fantastic time and I had a great birthday!!

February=Birthdays!!!

We get to celebrate TWO birthdays in February.  Tyler turned 11 and Raegan turned 14.  These two kids are awesome, great kids.  They are so much help, so much fun and so full of life.  What a HUGE blessing they are to our family!!!

Tyler LOVES Baseball.  So this year he scored with a new helmet, bat and batting gloves.

He had a party with 10 of his friends.  Chad took them to Trafalga to play Laser Tag and Goofy Golf and then they came home for Pizzas (SEVEN PIZZAS!) and Cake.

Raegan had a party and invited 20 girls!!  They ate mini sandwiches, chocolate dipped strawberries, nachos, candy and cookies.  Then the girls played 007.  It was a blast!!!  Raegan's team was pro, they never got caught.  

My kids have great friends!!!

My kids really do like each other...I love that!  There is rarely fighting and lots of laughing.  Ty and Rae love their twin brothers.

Pretty pathetic that we didn't have 14 candles but we had a #4 and one candle...Can you tell our family likes Chocolate???  YUM!

Happy Birthday Mr. MAX!

 Guess who turned 5?!?

MAX

 He got to have a party with 5 of his buddies

 Max was completely entertained by his dad

 Next we went to Jump on It

(the best part was it only cost me 

$12.00 because I had three coupons)

 Max loved his new race track and his new Guitar

and his "Future Missionary Bracelet" he got from Christmas. (Never takes is off)

We love our MAX!  

He is spunky, sweet, ornery, loving, precise, caring and has the worst sleep schedule of all time.  This kid runs hard all day and then we find him asleep at 5:30 and you cannot wake him up...impossible!  Then he is up at 5:15 the next morning.  We have tried to break this awful habit but when this kid is done he is DONE!  

Plus he has the cutest little face.

Happy Happy Birthday Mr. Max

Neeko is TWO!!

 The sweetest little boy ever is TWO!

We went to Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur museum for his birthday. The kids had so much fun.  The museum has a ton of interactive things for them to play with and explore.

After the museum we headed over to Pier 49 Pizza, Yum!

Nicholas was without a nap this day so he was DONE!!! But we had a nice time and can't believe that our NEEKO is Two.
