Balloons and more balloons

                                         Lex snuck in Parks room and filled it with ballons. They were all over his bed an  on the floor. She put kind or funny notes in them, although one had a gift certificate to Cold Stone. Yum!

                          Don't let him fool you he was hating to pop them as much as I was even though he looks fearless here.

                                                                                          See he hated it too.
                             And when he picked up the note on this one it said Don't be a wimp. We burst out laughing since he was having such a hard time wanting to pop another one.

                                                              

                                                                                Lexi peeking to see Parks reaction

                                                                      Mission accomplished  --- finally all popped!

                                        All the notes Lex wrote him. (Notice the cute picture of Parks as a toddler in the corner aahh such a cute kid.)


                                            And if you were interested from the last post, the reflection of Parks and Lex was on a pan while we ate dinner.

February Birthdays

                                 Can you guess where I took this picture. I saw them in this reflection and couldn't resist taking the picture.

                                        Sweethearts dance as a Newsie and in grandmas 1940's dress she wore on one of her dates.

                                                                                Calvin on Cassidy's birthday

                                                                              They are both full up to here------

                                              Getting to know Kelsi's friend Jason.       Does he look like Tanner to you?

                                                                                            Popeye and sidekick  

 Birthday kids in  February. (well not quite with Brandon but close enough and sorry McCall we have no picture with you but Happy Birthday as well.)                                                                   And yes as usual we can't see dad.

                        Can't beat a heart Valentines cake. Are you blowing Cassidy or getting ready to slurp up the cake?

                    Ahh, my delicious blueberry muffins I dreamed about all night. The birthday boy who deserves this post since he was the only one born on Valentines day!!!! Way to go for planning that right .... or wait I think he was induced to achieve that goal.

I am Bodacious

For those who don't know, I made the Bingham Volleyball team. Yes, Parker Hansen finally made a team that was not a minor league team. We all did so good that the coach decided not to cut anybody. Just kidding there was only nine people that tried out, so it really wasn't tryouts. They didn't correct me on anything I did, I guess I did really well. The volleyball practices are so fun and I can't wait for the games to start. Coach said that this is the best team he has seen.

Happy Birthday Tan

                                                          We made a cake and sang to our boy. Boy we miss that big mouth!
 

                                                                          Just some fun pictures of Tan just before he left.

                          This was our last family night game. Remember the good ole days when we use to have races  putting together the puzzles. They had so much fun and didn't want to stop so they kept putting puzzles together during my lesson.

                                               Half asleep waiting for her ride at 6:40. Thanks Shelby

Shelby and Brandon's Gift to Lexi

An awesome shoe rack! I've always wanted one so it was perfect!

A beautiful scarf and shirt. And an awesome wallet made out of leather! Can't get better than that!

The Attack of the Giant Snowman

Parks and I building our first snowman attack. It only snowed a bit so we used up all the snow in our front yard just for this tiny little thing.

AH! Attack of the giant snowman!

It was a tight war... Arrows in the giants body and the heads of the village men chopped off.

Notice that the giant snowman has a little snowman in his hand. Yep, it took skill to do that one. He's bringing the little precious up to his gaping mouth. Poor thing.

Yep, it's gory. But at least it makes a good laugh!

Christmas at Temple Square

               Before Temple Square we got some cute model pictures of Kels.

          Below they are watching to see who's going to win the arm wrestling contest Daxton or Lydia.

 

Another picture of the two boys for another calandar

                                                                   Our sweet JD visited for a couple days what a treat

                                           Now at Temple Square! The picture behind us gives you a clue to what we were doing.

                                       Cassidy and Daniel posing at the spot where Daniel proposed and two years later with a baby in tow.

                       Shae was loving posing for pictures. Everytime I got my camera out she wanted it of her. Ha! I have lots of my little angel. oops I mean tall angel.

                                  Love the architecture at Temple Square. The intricate carvings, marble pillars and stained glass windows.

                 No one around today. It was wonderful. The best time I've had there because I don't like crowds so we got to do lots of jumping pictures. Shae had a ball.

                                                                              Love this tree!

                 Had to get a jumping picture of Parks facing forward even though the other are just coming down.And some never really left the ground (Shae could that be you)

                                  Parks wanted to show all of his gifts off that JD and McCall made. JD drew the Beatle pictures and all the vegetables.

                                                         Last of all Parks favorite gift from Santa ------- a pocket trumpet!!!!!
