Ski Lessons

I forgot to mention ski lessons in the update post. Jack and Ellie took lessons every Saturday this February. Jack is getting pretty good (he says he is a pro) and can go all over the mountain. Ellie did surprisingly well, she doesn't really care for being uncomfortable (too cold, tired, or wet) so I wasn't sure how she would do. She had a lot of fun and had really good control of her turns by the end. We took Lucy up one day, and she is our best two-year old skier yet! She loved everything about it, the snow, the skis, riding on the magic carpet and the lift, and she would not quit! I tried to have her skiing between my legs holding onto my poles, but she wanted to go faster and by herself. Clint and I took turns skiing ahead and letting her bomb down the bunny hill to us.

Ellie's Birthday!

Ellie turned 5 on March 21st. She wanted to have a Glamour Fashion birthday party and a Barbie cake. I had three fourteen year old girls come help me with her party and it went great! The kids got their hair, nails, and makeup done and got all dressed up for a fashion show (some of the boys opted out of the hair and makeup and just did tattoos instead). They walked/danced the red carpet for the show, then we had lunch, and cake and ice cream. We finished by watching the video of the fashion show. Ellie loved every minute. Now I just have to start thinking about Jack and Lucys' birthdays next month!

Update

Here is an update of the last few months:
We took the kids to Disneyland before Christmas. It was fun to see it decorated and some of the rides changed for the holiday. Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Cleve came with us, and we all had a blast! We didn't tell the kids we were going until we were on our way to the airport, so it was a fun surprise!

We celebrated Christmas, which was great.

There was New Years, Valentine's Day, and St. Patrick's Day with the usual shenanigans.

We are having another baby at the end of the summer, and she is a girl!

Now that I'm caught up, I will attempt to blog more regularly.

Fakesgiving

We had pretend Thanksgiving this last weekend at my parents house. Jason and Carrie and kids leave for Connecticut on Monday, so this is when we could all get together. We had fun seeing everyone. The kids loved playing with their cousins Max, Evelyn, and Ellie's favorite cousin Farfel. My dad took Clint and Jack golfing. Evelyn was blessed at my parent's house which was really nice. We got to take family pictures with everyone which isn't super fun, but they turned out really cute. The highlight of the trip for Jack was going to laser Pink Floyd's The Wall at the planetarium with Grandpa Cleve and Clint and me. He kept saying, "How was this in Twin Falls the whole time and I didn't know about it!" Thanks for the fun weekend Mom and Dad!
