Some Details

January has been unusually FREEZING with a HORRIBLE inversion!  The last week we got a major snow storm, dumped on us, the kids loved it!!  Cleared the inversion! HOORAY!!

Trent had an idea and his brothers pitched in!  They made a HUGE chess board!!  Then they made checkers too!!  When Josh got home he played chess with Trent! Very cute, I video taped them for a minute!!

Jazz Game

Grandma and Grandpa gave us tickets to the Jazz Game!  (Awesome tickets!) Josh took the boys!  It was important to me for Blake to go and be with the big boys!!  They saw Uncle Matt (who took this picture), Blake Bailey, Child & Dr. Smith, McCarlie, and Elder Leydsman!  Very fun for Josh to see so many people!! 
Uncle Paul and Aunt Chera saw them on TV!!

Blake

Grant helped Blake figure out a way to keep track of his CTR ring, which he loves! He got a cute case too from his teacher at church!  Grant explained to him that if you "Choose the Right" you will RTC, "Return to Christ!" CTR backwards!   Blake said, "I am so glad my brothers are good at thinking!"

I was sitting in the closet putting lotion on and Blake wanted some!  He asked if it was for girls? He said, "We are white women and blue. You know the one dad plays on his guitar when he has me." Josh and I take turns putting Blake and Lydia to bed so we spend time with each!!  Sometimes Josh plays the guitar for Blake!  (He use to every night, now Blake is loving his Backyardigan Book!) Blake is talking about the song White rhythm and blues! 

Last night I was browning hamburger at the stove and Blake flew into the kitchen on Lydia's bike and in the cutest deepest voice said, "I am the Sheriff, you are under arrest for making dinner!" He jumps off and says, "Mom let's get a picture of this funny time!"  He loves making videos on my phone too!  They are very funny!!

Martin Luther King Jr.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house with the Simmons!  We got McDonald's on the way and tried to go to the back house but we couldn't open the gate, the snow was too deep!  The kids watched Spider Man (part way through, we were watching the clock because Trent had basketball) and hot tubed!! They loved it!!  It was hard for me to even take pictures because I did not want to take my eyes off Lydia!!  I snow shoveled a path from the basement door to the hot tub!! We missed seeing Grandma and Grandpa because they were in St. George!

Thursday

Blake, Lydia and I went to the car wash!  They draw on the windows and the kids love it!  A few days ago I drew a horrible dog! It looked like a dog, rabbit, bear!!  Blake took a picture of this cute dog for me to learn from! 

Blake took pictures of us on our way into Hobby Lobby! He wanted them on the blog!!

He even got me as I parked!!

These 2 were dancing in front of the mirrors! All of my action shots were too blurry to post!  It was a crack up! Blake was the music!  An employee was loving listening to him and started to imitate and sing along! Blake blushed and grabbed my  hand! It was so funny!!

Classic

I checked the boys out of school and we met the Simmons at Classic Fun Center for Lizzy's birthday!  Very fun rink!!  My pictures are bad, but I like them!  The better quality photos are Jill's! Ethan was sick, so we missed the Talls!!   
Grant, Park, Trent

Lyd insisted on wearing her Minnie Jammies although Grandpa tried to persuade her not to!  She had a ball on this little bike! She walked it right up the steps to her drink, put it in her cup holder, drank, set it back up on the table and rode (walked) away!

Blake's Balloons

Blake made this water balloon family! (just a little bit of water) He was cracking me up!  Lydia, Blake, Trent, Grant and Grandpa Verne!  He carried them around all day in a container! Then he let Lydia play with "Lydia" for a minute! He took "Grandpa" downstairs to see the real Grandpa and I guess left it for a bit to lay an egg??? The child is SILLY!!!

Lydia's Sweater

I bought Lydia this sweater on clearance and I love it!! She also got a haircut! She pulls out rubberbands, bows and clips!!  (So I needed something a little shorter!)

Will and Noah Blessed

Will and Noah were blessed today!!  The day was so crazy Johnny and Jenny did not get any shots! Here are the cuties from another day!
  Josh had to go back to our ward, teach Gospel Doctrine, and then come to Johnny's!  Josh put Lydia in her car seat to go home, I turned around and she was eating the snow off of her boots!! Ha Ha (yuck)
