When Grandma & Grandpa come to visit!

Grandpa & Grandma Noakes came to visit! We were so excited to have constant playmates, tons of attention, had lots of photo shoots and got new toys (we were spoiled)

We took a family outing to the Clark Planetarium where we learned about outer space, had a fun scavenger hunt, saw an Imax movie and went to lunch

But mostly we just clowned around and had fun! We hope they come again soon.....please?

potato sac races

So last night I was going through all my newspapers that have been piling up in my garage, in search of some good coupons. I heard a lot of rackas outside the office door and proceeded to just ignore it until the jumping and sound of moving plastic got the best of my curiosity. I opened the door to find Chad and the kids having potato sac races up and down the hall with the plastic bags that carry the newspapers. It was so funny, and adorable I might add. Had to snap this picture and write about it. Even though Chad is horrible at wiping down the counters (don't know why men are that way), he sure knows how to have a good time out of scratch! I love my family.

Halle turns 5!

Happy Birhday Halle!!! I guess it is official that I now have a person to raise and not a baby anymore.

Halle celebrated her birthday on Valentines Day this year, so we could go all out with a "heart/love" theme.

Although Cohen was pretty jelious all day long, he at least offered to help set up the table decorations, kindof.

Halle spent a lot of time making her own valentines for the guests this year. She was very proud that she wrote all their names by herself. Here she is laying them out and deciding who sits where (She often does name tags for our little family dinners too).

Once the chaos arrived I didn't have time to snap many pictures. We had dark chocolate cake (mistake 1) and a big punch bowl full of a valentine slush (mistake 2) that I was refereeing. I am glad Chad jumped in and took a couple photos of her blowing out the candles!

We were so excited to have both our familes here for the occasion. Chad's parents were here from California and the Frei gang made the long trip to Farmington to celebrate with us.

Happy Birthday Halle. We love you and yes...It was worth it...I think:)

Busy

We are busy. Watching this.

And this.

And this too.

Yes we have become quite the couch potatoes, because we haven't missed this either:)

Sledding

We're going sledding!

Do you want to come? There is room on my sled

Here we go...

We are having a contest to see who can get the farthest. Grandpa always wins!

We are laughing so hard because we can't get up the mountain. We keep slipping down!

Uncle Mark is the best. Always around to play, tease, dicipline and even potty train!

What else is there to do around here anyway?

New Buzzes for Boys

So I have a really talented sister who would cut my boys hair for practically nothing, however, on Saturday I had had enough of there long straggily hair. I sent them to the bathroom and gave them both buzzes (that is the only way I can cut hair even). Cohen was SO excited to be like daddy...that is his new thing lately. To make it officially, they put on their matching Rock Band shirts and I had to snap the picture. Love them both.

We're Back

It has been awhile. Been working on my New Years goals which didn't include blogging. Oops. We are currently doing foot massages...something Halle and Cohen love (they give the foot massages to us!) You should train your kids to be slaves too:) More pictures to come!
