4 years old & his cooking birthday...

weston had a birthday and after many weeks of changing his mind from a superhero party, to a swim party, to a train party, he surprised us all and had his mind set on a cooking party. he wantd to have a party where he could cook with his friends like he does with daddy! i thought it sounded fun, so that is what we did...

all 24 little chefs got their own personalized apron, hat, & cooking station. the menu included all of weston's favorite food

homemade corn dog {aka piggies in a blanket}

fruit kabobs

cupcakes

weston's favorite sugar cookies and recipe as the thank you favor

of course, lots of candy!

it got a little chaotic so we played some games while our cupcakes cooked

{thanks for all the moms that stayed to help!}

my little dub is 4 and i can't believe it. thanks for being so sweet and such a little momma's boy! happy birthday, we love you.

{thanks to my friend megan for taking all the fabulous photos...you are the best!}

happy friday...

have a great weekend!

powder puff 2010...

i played in a super bowl powder puff game a while ago and just got some pictures back of it. it was seriously one of the funnest things and the most painful things i have ever done...next to the wasatch back i guess! anyways, totally took me back to oly high and the powder puff days...excpet more violent if you can imagine that! these girls were serious and brutal. i was afraid i was going to going to really hurt. they painted the driving range on the golf course and made a football field. complete with bleachers, music, an announcer, all the concessions. it was awesome. here is how it played out...

i am laughing so hard as i am posting. it is so funny & silly, but it was so so fun.

i totally have to say though that i had 2 interceptions and the 2 touchdowns!!

of course cecily was the halftime entertainment...dancing to "all the single ladies"

st. patty's day...

happy green day!

this year we went crazy for the leprchans! we started with green pancakes with green oj.

snack was green apples with lucky green dip washed down with leprechan juice! we also made green sugar cookies when our friends came by.

dinner for the kiddos was leprechans favorite green macaroni and cheese, green cinnamon roll & the leprechans brought them green rice crispy treats! Mom & dad had date night later and ate yummy rumbi on the way to ward temple night!
i had to throw this picture in below. it was time for her nap and she didn't not want to go to bed and throw a total fit. she really wanted more candy and all i said was "no!"
{i think we have created a monster}
it was really fun getting into the holiday with the kids. they loved it. we made a lot of treats and went through almost an entire bottle of green food coloring...hope there are no side effects! i am sure you all had a very happy st. patty's day!

ouch...

our poor cecily fell off our bed and clipped the edge of the nightstand. it was such a deep cut and quite traumatic. i totally lost my normal calmness and was a complete crazy person. she was bleeding so much from her face and you coudn't tell where the blood was coming from. we rushed her to the hospital and our baby got her first set of stitches!:(

they had to papoose her to give her the stiches and it was the sadest thing i have seen. she was so scared and just wanted us to hold her. corb couldn't even watch. she kept just saying "daddy, i go home!" so so sad!

she got stitches, but hopefully it won't leave to bad of a scar!

update....

this is long post just to update and to bring me to date...

{december} was a different experience getting in the holiday mood without any snow. strange to see christmas trees and lights in warm weather...
we has our ward party outside with "breakfast with santa" it was so fun. when i went to setup we were welcomed with this winter wonderland. (the sprinklers were stuck on all night!) people thought i had done it on purpose and was bringing utah to arizona! :) it was beautiful...

the boys dressed ceci one day...

we decorated a gingerbread house...

we wrote letters to santa to let him know that we would be in utah for christmas and asked santa to please deliver our presents to grandma sheri's house...

we spent a lot of time with family that we just missed so much. it was great to home for christmas.

{january}we rang in the new year in san diego.

cecily got her first official haircut from dad, our hair stylist!

she loves to put on our shoes and push her stroller around. is that the cutest bottom you have ever seen!

she loves the googles too!

{february} we had our ward valentines party and it was a total riot! it was a cowboy theme. we had a lady come in and teach us line dancing. i was surprised at how many got up and dances. it was decorated so cute. i didn't take many photos of the decor, but it was darling with twinkle lights and lantern, bales of hay and cowboy boots!

i got to dance the night away with my sweet heart...love this guy! xo

corb's mom and stepdad are our first visitors of 2010...we took them to scottsdale to our favorite park and rode the trains and did the carosels.

anthony lost one of his front teeth...three in total teeth he has lost. doesn't he look cute, but so old!:(

we ended the trip at our favorite place to take visitors Joes Farm Grille. thanks for coming to visit we love to get them.
