Is Cody the next American Idol?

Cody loves displaying his vocal talents every time we're in the car with the radio on. He'll be singing at the top of his lungs the whole time. Our last trip to see Mike and Crystal he entertained us with some of his various songs that I'm sure are soon to be hits. I've decided to allow you to preview one of the said hits. Now I'm allowing this privilege and praying that I don't see you all on you tube claiming this song as your own.

Winter Carnival Weekend

Friday night we packed up the kids and headed to McCall for a fun filled weekend at the Winter Carnival with Mike and Crystal, and fun filled it was! Saturday Crystal and I headed into McCall to work at a booth for Pheenas cheer leading. On our way out we decided not to fight the zoo of people coming in for the parade and instead went sledding with the kids. What fun we had! We drove a few blocks from their house and found a little hill all to ourselves. After that we came home made sub sandwiches and hung out at the house playing games. Sunday we got up and went back into McCall and walked around looking at the Ice Sculptures. It was a little disappointing, not as good as last year but still a lot of fun. Then we went back to Mike and Crystals ate tacos and headed home.

Dylan's first tooth

Well its official I'm losing another baby one tooth at a time lol. Dylan has been wiggling and wiggling that darn tooth for weeks now and yesterday it just popped out. He was so excited to put it under his pillow and thankfully the tooth fairy showed up on time to give him his dollar. Can you believe she gives a dollar now?? I only received .25 from her.

Marc and Patty's

Marc and Patty just bought a new house in Bend so this was a perfect opportunity to get out of the house. We packed up 3 dogs, 4 kids, and 3 adults in just two cars and headed out. It was quite an experience ha ha but we had fun. Their house is so nice and plenty of room for our herd. All the dogs got along great and we had no accidents except for one pencil and a joey slobbered on window. To get out of the house on Saturday we went to an outdoor mall and looked around, then had lunch at Red Robin. We can't wait to head back this summer!

Happy Wii Year!!!

So this year we had our 2nd annual Wii tournament. Oh what fun it was. Of course it snowed so not as many brave souls ventured out to our house as we thought but we still had a crowd. Dianne won the wii tourney, and Nick won the close pin game. I should have know that he'd win that haha. It was a fun night though with plenty of kids, food, and fun:)

Christmas

Well Christmas has come and gone and what a fun Christmas it was. Christmas eve we spent at mom and dad. Can you believe our whole family could fit in one house! We played many games, ate really good food, opened gifts and just had fun hanging out. It was a lot of fun to see the cousins together playing and getting excited over gifts. Christmas day was pretty low key at our house. We didn't' even get out of our jammies. The boys were up bright and early to open gifts, then we had waffles for breakfast from my new waffle maker! A red PT Cruiser pulled up in front of the house and I wondered who's at our house. It was mom and dad in moms new PT Cruiser!! How fun is that?! We had a yummy ham dinner then played games with the boys all afternoon. What a wonderful way to celebrate our lords birth
