BBQ for Mikes Birthday

A few weeks ago we had a party for mikes birthday. I didnt get too many pictures but we had a blast it was a pretty nice day so the kids got to play outside on dianes toys and we had an arrayment of meats with italian sodas and of course cake, it wasnt a big thing but we had a nice time hanging out.

Visiting Corey, Laurie, Conner and Chris

A couple of weeks ago we went down to utah to hang with the fam down there. We had a blast and wish we lived closer so the kidos could play more often. Here we are having dinner.
We did a little birthday party for the kids since their birthdays are only 4 days apart, sylvia gave conner some dart guns and so conner got all of his other dart guns out and it ended in 3 brothers running all over the house having a war it was hillarious and cody said was one of the funnest things he has done in a long time. He really misses being close to his brothers.

Uncle chris showing the kids how to load the gun.

Poor chris bit into a pepperchiny and it squirted up his nose it was funny but we all felt bad for him it made him cry.

We went to the mall one day and found the easter bunny and kennady LOVES things like that so we went to see the bunny and get our picture taken.

Waiting in line with the fake grass bunny.

conner had these goggles and the kids loved wearing them, they are so funny.

At the mall they have this train that drives around so we took the kids so they could ride they loved it.

They spotted the train.

two little love birds they played really well together and when they saw eachother it was like they had just played the day before.

We went to TexasRhoad House one night for dinner.. its one of our favorite places to eat. So we had to get the traditional picture with all of us at dinner.

We rode around in Uncle chirs' car for the weekend since he had enough room for all of us. And in the very far back was this bar for hanging clothes but the kids found another use for it.

Sleepover Party at Nana Kunz's house

Kennady got to go over to nanas house last night and spent the night. while they were there they dyed easter eggs. My little girl is getting so big i love this picture.

I guess she really liked blue

Getting all cleaned up. I love that cindy gets in the bath fully clothed to play with kennady.

And their hands after they got all cleaned up.

Valentines Day

Oh Valentines Day, its a day i love and my husband dreads. I love all the lovey stuff making little things for eachother, and cody hates trying to figure out what to do how to make it different then just a normal date. But this year will be one i wont forget. The friday before valentines day we decided to go out to the CDA casino they have all you can eat king crab so after cody got off work we drove like crazy to get out there. When we got there we found out there was a three hour wait to get in but a nice guy told us they had been waiting awhile and were leaving but we could have their beepper and take their spot so we waited...and waited...and waited some more and finally after waiting for an hour and a half we decided it wasnt worth it anymore. We both had headaches from sitting in a smoke filled room and decided we would just go to red lobster instead. Anyway and that concluded our valentines. Well Cody being the awesome husband that he is decided that wasnt enough so the next saturday i woke up to roses and a box of chocolates and he told me that we were going to celebrate valentines day right.

So he took me out to Clinkerdaggers for dinner. Then he told he i had a shoe coupon so we walked around the whole mall trying to find a pair of shoes that i wanted finally we went across the street to DSW shoes and i found these tennis shoes and i love them. (exept my pair is a teal green and not pink) Then he took me to the Rock Mountain chocolate store and we got gourmet carmel apples...soooo goood!!! It was an awesome week late valentines day. I love my hubby!

New Years Eve with the Harwards

This year we spent new years more relaxed and low key. We spent the evening with our best friends Kimbo and Jared. Kimbo and I met in high school and were really good friends then we both got married about a month apart and when we introduced our husbands we found out they are like brothers, it was really crazy two guys couldnt be more similar and kimbo and i are the same way. Anyway we wanted a new years eve party that was pretty relaxed so it was just the two of us. We had a blast, we brougt a ton of yummy food and played games. The boys LOVE the fourth of july and jared had some old fireworks that the boys thought they needed to play with. Anyway here is the crate with all the fireworks.
Here they are playing the Wii. It was so much fun we laughed untill we almost cried.

Family Photo 2009

Right before Christmas we decided to have some pictures taken and Arah (madelinejamesphotogrophy) was so nice to do the for us even though it was freazing the day we did them, they turned out awesome. Kennady wouldnt smile for anything she was so cold but we got some awesome ones anyway.

Davenport Gingerbread houses

I have been super lazy about blogging lately, my computer and internet have been acting up so to download a photo takes forever and i am not patient enough to wait but today it seems to be a little faster so i will add this post and try it again for the rest of christmas another day. This year my grandma from Idaho Falls came up for christmas it was so nice having her here she stayed for two weeks so we did lots of stuff so she wouldnt get to board. One night we went to the Davenport Hotel to see the gingerbread houses, they were really cool....some of them...and i didnt take pictures of the not so great ones but here are just a few. This one was cool made with pretzles and candy rocks.
Kennady liked this one a lot it was veggie tales Jonah and the whale

Lady and the Tramp

Whoville with the grinch on mount Crumpit(spelling?)

This one was by far the best it blew me away its snow white and the seven dwarfs i dont know who made it but they should get a gold metal or something all the tiny little detail amazing! This was the outside with all the seven dwarfs and snow White sleeping and the prince.

This was the inside all the beds had names on the headboards and chairs all around the table with a kitchen in the back ground it was so cool.

More Christmas to come!!
