Someone just got really old!

Our funny kids like to dance and one day they each had some kitchen utensils and marched around and danced all morning

 I am very appreciative of our local library and their great activities for children. Lyza loves going to the library. Here the kids have two sticks, one is smooth and the other is rough, so they can bang them together and also rub them together to make different noises. Apparently Nixon really liked them and it was almost impossible for Kim to break his grip on the sticks when it was time to put them away

Lyza is always so proud of the crafts that she makes at the library. Oink oink

Lyza got some valentines in the mail this week and it made her day! 

 I was SPOILED on my birthday! I woke up to our massive (not really) kitchen table covered in 30 presents! Wow 

 What a cute card

 Lyza helped me open some of my gifts before work

 One of the gifts was a package of magna-tiles. The same set that Lyza got for Christmas. Now we can make even more things together

 While I was slaving away at work Kim and the kids went to a play group at church. There was this car that Nixon sat in and they pulled him around with a rope. He had a blast

 My amazing family surprised me at work. I love when they come to visit and I can show them off to everyone at the office

 Lyza made herself right at home eating my birthday treat sitting in my chair

 After work I came home and opened up the rest of my many amazing gifts. I have an extremely thoughtful wife and children

 Then we had some birthday cheese cake and sang happy birthday

 We had a babysitter watch the kids and Kim and I went out for dinner together. What a treat! Great food and great company.

 After dinner we went to a stake dance and danced to a couple of songs. It had been awhile.

Yesterday Lyza had her last gymnastics lesson. It has been fun to see her learn some new skills and have fun

 We followed that up with a little shopping. You can see how excited Nixon was. He takes after his dad.

 Lyza on the other hand had a blast, especially trying on all of the sunglasses

 I went to a monster truck event last night. While I was there the girls had a little party at a friend's house. They have this bouncy house in their basement which Lyza loved.

 Going to a monster truck event was really interesting. This was definitely an All-American event, but it was still cool to see the Canadian flag in the stadium

 I was originally worried about going and the type of crowd that was going to be there, but I had a great time

Here is a video of one of the free style drivers 

This has definetly got to be my favorite video of the week. Enjoy, and take care
