Just us being us!

 Kinlee SERIOUSLY loves to talk on the phone! She is a girly girl that way! haha I had to snap a pic!

 These two just chillin in his room getting ready to go! They are little buds and he takes such good care of her. The other day when he walked out of his room from waking up, she said "Hi Drew! You hungry?!" haha actually every time he wakes up and comes out she says "Hi DREW!" in the most excited voice. It's so sweet and he loves it!

 Her and I just hanging out in her room while Drew was playing at his cousins.  We got some girl time!

 We read her favorite book over and over and over. I love her and don't wanna miss a second if I don't have to.  I love when she reaches her arms out and says "I hold you!" How do you tell her no :) She loves Minnie mouse too! So fun having some pink and girl stuff!

 How about this outfit?!  Grandma found this shirt and skirt on super clearance and couldn't resist! So kinlee wanted to put it right on, over her other shirt! haha with her boots! and climbed right up into the booster, she loves that thing! ha

 Then we had the cousins come to our house to play and have pizza!  So fun! and they loved it! Can't complain having them play all day when they get along so good!

 These two boys had a late night! I had treats and ice cream ready to enjoy while they watched a movie and all they wanted to do was play Wii Star Wars and wear costumes! Love these two best buddies!

 I still LovE this towel every time she puts it on! She got it from Grandma Shannon for her 1st bday! How can you not smile back at her?!

You can't see it very good, but hilarious...he was eating the black beans and got like a dark mexi-stache! haha (don't mind his hair, he had just showered and forgets to dry it very good!)

Anyway, there is for finally updating! it's hard to get caught up or at least make time for it! Hope everyone else is enjoying this Winter! :)

Random and VaLenTinEs!!!

 This is the first year in the 10 yrs I've known Tys he didn't get season tickets to the Jazz games. Of course the year when Peyt REALLY wants to go and cares so much.  Even Drew, he is so into it this year.  Especially after seeing Thunderstruck! ha SO, Tys took them to the Jazz game when they played the Thunder.  They loved every second! Kinlee didn't wanna miss the pic. and of course Peyt had to be Jazz gear decked out!

 ha! Look close!  This boy got dressed in the dark! Pants on BACKWARDS! He had no idea until I told him. He cracks me up. Love him!

 Happy Vday! with red eggs (kinda looked gross) and Pink heart shaped pancakes!

 This might not seem great to you, but this boy has been trying soooo hard to tie his shoes.  and has had a rough time getting the hang of it, that morning, he did it! He was SO proud of himself! It was so cute and I loved seeing him accomplish something he worked so hard at! I love that this week at school, the 2nd graders are doing a "Shoe tying camp!" for the kids! how cute is that?!

 And my Drew was like "what did you do to the mirror?!" ha I love making any Holiday fun!

 How cute is she?! Painted fingers and toes (per her request) and her Minnie jammies to wear all day! (Also her choice!)  She is seriously so fun! and definitely a Daddys girl that has him wrapped around her tiny finger!

 and...BUSTED! ha she snuck into the cake!

and traditional Chinese Vday dinner!  This year we just hung out with our little family, had dinner, dessert and played games! and a couple visits from grandparents was fun too!

 Me and my cute Valentine. I seriously love him more every day!  Actually, 10 years ago on Valentines day, was our very first kiss! Just realized that.  Special day! :)

We played Uno attack and this fun memory game that Erin and her fam sent us!  It was so cute, with pics of all our family on the cards! Tons of work had to go into it and we are so thankful for her and doing it!

Happy Birthday Grandma Julie!

 Jaxson and Kinsey invited the whole family up to Kinsey's family cabin, to be together for the weekend.

 We woke up to this Saturday morning!!!

 The kids were ready to play ALL day in the snow!

 For grandmas Birthday, Sadie made her favorite cake. Carrot Cake.  We sang to her and each shared something we missed, loved or remembered about her.  I know there was no greater gift we could give her than to be together.  She always wanted that and it meant the world to her when she had her family all together. We were only missing Tay!  It was cute to hear the kids and their questions. I think it was Madi, she said "I think if Grandma could, she would wanna tell us how much she loves us and misses us." Or something like that. That's what I saw cause some teary eyes. It's true!

 Steve wanted to let balloons go for her, to send up to heaven.  The kids LOVED writing a note to grandma.

 Balloons sent to heaven! Happy Birthday Julie! I really feel she isn't too far away.  That she can see her grandkids still, and enjoy them just like she loved to when she was healthy and happy.  They were her greatest joy! I know they will still have some kind of relationship with her or her with them and she wont be missing precious moments like these.

 Snowmobiling, sledding, snowball fight.  So much fun! We had to finally get Madi and Peyt to come in so we could eat and head home.  They probably would have played all night!

 Oh, you can't see this, but Steve worked on an awesome Igloo all day! It was way cool!

Miss Kinlee only lasted outside for a few minutes every time.  So we spent most the day inside.
Thanks to Jax and Kins for getting us all together for such a special day!

Love these boys!

 This is Drew, SOOO worn out! He is so cute. I seriously love this boy and everything that comes along with him. He is so good at remembering things, amazing with Kinlee, and so sweet to me! :)

Peyt had his Chinese program and it was SO crowded! This was the only pic I got. He loves us watching him do his programs, parades and fun things! It's fun how happy it makes them when they see you in the crowd!

Going home :(

 Dang...all good things must eventually come to an end, right?! We seriously had so much fun and loved every second. I wasn't ready to leave, I was ready to go enjoy 10 more days! A trip full of surprises, fun and enjoyed with family! So glad I got my mom and bruce to come. Hopefully they don't wait 27 more years :)

Peyt wanted to get a pic out of the window! So pretty! I will take an 1:20 min flight any day over that drive. haha
So we are home sweet home, safe and sound.

Day 6: California Adventure/Disneyland!

 I didn't use my camera this whole day, cuz the batter was low and these were the pics I really wanted! Us on main st.

 and traditional in front of Mickey! (Grandpa got sick and had headed back to the room, missed him for the pics tho!)

 While the rest of the crew waited again for Cars (last ride choice of the night) Grandma and I took the littles to the Toy Story ride!

 This girl LOVED it!

 Ah! I wanna go back already.... :(

Kinlees souvenir!  She was so excited and hasn't hardly put him down. Her cute brother that takes such good care of her too!

Day 5: California Adventure!

 Cars Land was SO awesome! They are amazing at creating these different lands!

 My favorite ride! I love going with people that haven't been on before! haha

 Grandpa may or may not have volunteered himself to go hula hoop! hah What a great sport!

 check out my moms sweet captured pic!

 Jill and I pushed the babies around for over an hour while everyone else waited in line for the new Cars ride! It was well worth it!

 Us on the ride!

 After we went to eat, these boys were dropping like flies, one by one, couldn't keep their eyes open!
