Heath's Love...

Heath loves a frosty from Wendy's! He got one on his way home from school the other day because Grandma is...well...a softy! He could not even take off his coat or his hat, he just opened off the top and started to dig in...which was smart, because it was really cold that day and he wanted ice cream. So, he sat at the kitchen counter and ate his entire frosty all bundled up!

New Mexico Bowl Trophy!

This was pretty cool. When we got to the Wyoming basketball game last weekend, the New Mexico bowl trophy was there. It was kind of a weird bowl for us as we both went to both schools. We were really excited that Wyoming was going to go to a bowl game...until we found out that they were going to play Fresno State. We decided we would not travel to see the game as it would be gut-wrenching no matter what the outcome was. We decided to watch the game at home with a ball cap from both schools on each side of the tv! The trophy was beautiful...I took a shot of both sides of it with my phone! In the shot is one of WY's wide receivers from Casper, Zach Bolger.
This is the Bulldog side. It was an amazing game that went in to two overtimes...I thought if it went in to three, I may actually have a heart attack. WY won the game...and it truly was amazing!

The BIG 40!!!!


Daddy and Heath. The day came...40 used to seem so far away, but it finally came. Daddy took it good. No big deal...just another day on the calendar.


Mitchie thinking about something...we are not sure what, but he is definitely thinking!


Mommy and Isabelle. Well...we take what we can get with Isabelle Grace, sometimes she smiles, sometimes she doesn't...snap when you can, at least she wasn't screaming...at that moment anyway!

Heath looks like he was ready to eat. Banging both fists on the table with fork in hand and staring down the waiter.

Dinner was great and it was fun to have a night out on the town with everybody!

New Year's Eve Party!

Well, this year we decided to have a pizza and popcorn party in the basement. We baked pizzas and brought them down to the basement and ate our dinner before we started the kiddos movie...G-Force. They loved their pizza, as you can see from all the pictures!
Mitchie is going in for seconds. We ate pizza and then started the movie. Oh, we also have party hats for the pizza parties that happen in our basement!
All the monkeys enjoying pizza.
And...missy Lou pulling up her sleeves ready to dig in for some more pizza. We brake at half time of the movie to pop some popcorn and continue the second half of the movie.

Daddy and Heath sledding

Heath had a tough time getting up the hill the second time. He kept falling on the climb up...big job for his little legs.
Daddy bringing him down good! They had no crashes, much better than Mommy who crashed him good!
Here they come... Doesn't it look like so much fun?
And coming in for the final stop right in to Mommy for the final journey to the car. Heath had a blast and loves the sled! He also loved his hot chocolate and marshmallows!

Mommy and Heath sledding

We made it to the top...I think Mommy was more afraid than Heath to go down. It was steaper than it looked from the bottom. Yikes....once we got up there, Heath was ready to go!
On our way down...it was actually really fun!
And then there was the crash, which Heath thought was really fun! Can you see the look on his face? Click on the picture to make it bigger, it is pretty funny! You just have to click the back button to get back to the blog once you have enlarged the picture (instructions are for you Dad! ;-)
Then we got back up and kept going...and finished with smiles on our faces! It was really fun! We only made the climb and went down twice. It was a beautiful day, sun shining and no wind, but it was only 2 degrees when we left. We got home and made some hot chocolate.

Some more Christmas...


Although it was Christmas time in our house it was also my mother's birthday...and not just any birthday, she turned 60!!!!!! This was a wonderful caramel apple pie...with her birthday candle in it! Happy 60th Birthday mom!
Isabelle and her pram...she loves pushing her babies around the house in her new pram from Grammie and Papa. WARNING: do not get in her way, she will run you over!!!

Belle's "Belle" gown and crown, not as cute as when she doesn't have her pajamas underneath.

More Christmas...

Here are the sleds from Santa...again, the pictures can not describe their beauty. They were so pretty! You can not see, but we had the kids names engraved on them which was also neat.
Here is the tree on Christmas morning...can you tell that we are in a recession? What??? Okay, so there were a lot of people here....but really? It was nuts! It made our house feel so little....Drew was saying it felt like we needed a bigger house just for Christmas morning!
Our kiddos waiting to come down for the big "Hoorah!"

Grammie and Papa took Heath to the movies the day after Christmas. Heath loved it even though it was really cold outside. He got to bring home his little snack tray with popcorn and animal crackers and coke...he had a lot of fun seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks!
