February - Happy Valentine's Day!


Valentine's Day! We made chocolate covered Strawberries. The boys thought that is was awesome!

In addition to strawberries we made lobster, shrimp and crab legs for our family Valentine's day dinner. One of James and Jake's favorite things to eat is crab legs. We had lots of fun eating all of that seafood for dinner! We need to have this be a new tradition. We do have a morning Valentine tradition - we always have little gifts at the breakfast table and have a yummy breakfast together.

We took a trip down to St. George, Utah on the way to Scottsdale, Arizona to visit Alan's parents. Alan has some family in St. George who own horses and the boys LOVED going horse back riding.

Fun in the sun. One of our favorite things to do in Arizona is to go to a Train Park where they have a carousel, huge playground, old western town playground and a miniature train that goes around the whole park that you get to ride on. Here we are with Alan's parents just about to go around the park for a ride.

January Fun

We went to the Draper Temple open house with James and Jacob. When we walked into the Celestial Room, Jacob's mouth dropped open at seeing the huge chandelier and he said, "Whoa!" James really liked seeing the sealing rooms and the baptism font. It is a beautiful temple but a REALLY cold day to see it!

We have so much fun playing in the snow! We make snowmen, have snowball fights and make snow angels.

January 2009 - Happy New Year!!!



Here is our last picture from 2008! We rang in the New Year with our annual family party (although James & Jake and cousin Miya celebrated at 9:50pm and then went to bed). Alan is sporting the "bearded look."
