Brinley's 10th Birthday!

Happy 10th Birthday Brinley!

We celebrated with a family party, her favorite foods and getting her earls pierced!! That's all she really wanted for her Birthday. Dad also played the "Farming Game" with her on her Birthday. She was in heaven.

Brinley is such a fun 10 year old. She is so smart, loves to be creative, loves to play with her friends (mostly Kate), loves candy and treats, and loves to play any game with whoever will play with her. She is amazing at "wacky six" and almost always wins! 

We love you Brinley!

Sam's Mission Farewell

Sam is going on a Mission! Yay!

We made the trip to Gunnison to hear her speak and wish her well on her new adventure. 

She leaves next week for the Mesa, Arizona Mission.

Good Luck Sambo Rambo!!

Karl and Camilla's Wedding

A beautiful day spent with Karl and Camilla and family on their Wedding Day!

They were married on the day before Valentines Day in the Salt Lake Temple. We spent the morning at the temple with them followed by a luncheon at Pizza Pie Cafe. That evening they had a beautiful reception in Kaysville. 

Guess who caught the Bouquet at the end of the night??? Quincy!!

Our last Elementary School Valentines Box!

Brinley is in 5th grade, which means this will be her last Elementary School Valentines Day party. She wanted to make a very cool Valentines box. She did this almost all by herself. and I think it turned out pretty awesome. 

Happy Valentines Day!

Kade's 16th Birthday!

Happy 16th Birthday Kade!! We are a little short on pictures of this event, probably because Kade is not a fan of pictures! He is a fan of driving though, and is excited to get his drivers license very soon. Kade is still a big tease, loves to play his computer game, likes Tennis, enjoys hanging out with his friends and still loves chocolate bunt cake best!

Happy Birthday Kade!

We love you!

Snow Fort

 Good thing these two have each other. They love to do the same things and can do them for HOURS!!

Brinley's Sick Day!

Brinley stayed home from school because she was sick. I foolishly thought that would mean a day of laying around on the couch resting...that's what it means for most people! Brinley on the other hand cannot sit still!! She wanted to make cupcakes and decorate them like "cupcake wars". So we did! This is her finished product, complete with a white chocolate "B" for the top of her cupcake.

What a silly girl!

Couples trip to California!

This was the funnest little getaway ever! We went with the Hankins and Mechams to California over Martin Luther King Day in January. It was a blast. We flew out early (like 6am) on a Friday morning and arrived in California by 7:30am. We spent 4 whole days doing anything and everything we wanted! We flew home late Monday night. Tons of time visiting, sightseeing and eating yummy food. I think we need to make this an annual tradition!
