Happy Birthday Nixon!

 Sunday afternoon games don't always happed but when they do everyone enjoys them


On Tuesday morning Nixon woke up and was a year older. He got a delicious breakfast


We all got to run through the birthday streamers


Nixon got some new shoes before school (which he really needed)


For lunch he got a date with dad at Red Robin


Here is the bunch


What a big present!



He had to try it out


That got Mason out on this trike


And Henry on his balance bike


What a cool gift


We did corn dog fondue for dinner


And some more presents after dinner


Henry was excited to see grandma and grandpa


This rocks, fossils, and minerals kit was a hit



A new book set



Yummy cake






Nixon got a jelly bean game where half of them taste absolutely disgusting (dirty socks, boogers, rotten fish, etc.) and the other half taste good but are the exact same colors as the gross ones. They had fun playing it



This is a cool balancing game that Nixon got


Who do you think helped decorate Henry?


Cupcake has been out on some adventures in the hamster ball



I am not sure about this creation


What a cute sight


I don't recognize this story though


I have known for a while that there is an Alberta St. in Post Falls but didn't realize it intersects Edmonton Ave.


Yesterday we took Lyza and Nixon skiing and it was beautiful


Lyza made some big improvements with her skiing


And Nixon looked like he had been skiing for years



A view of Kim teaching Lyza while I was on the chair lift


When we are on the chair lift we always talk about how cool it would be to stay in one of these condos


It was fun skiing together and the weather was perfect


Here is a compilation video of the evening


Take care

Sledding and Skiing

 Look at those guns


We had a fun family meal for Valentine's Day


When I wanted to talk about cheese Kim thought I wanted my picture taken


Mason was happy about something


Thanks grandma and grandpa


We got some snow and Monday was a holiday so we went sledding


We also did some tree hugging


Henry loved it



It was fun


Cupcake got to explore her ball



When there is snow our front yard is so much more fun


And tasty


We got to go to Texas Roadhouse for our anniversary and it was delicious!


Happy Anniversary!


Kim went running early in the morning in the snow because her friend wanted to do that for her 40th birthday


Cupcake says hi


Yummy broccoli


Our winter wonderland


Lyza has been designing a house for school


Warm weather after a new snow fall always brings out the song birds



Lyza got to go skiing for the first time on Friday


She was definitely the cutest 9 year old on the hill


She had a pretty good time


Nixon and I got to go skiing together on Saturday and we had a blast



Hot chocolate and dinner in the lodge


I had a hard time keeping up with Nixon


The kids really enjoyed the Primary Friend to Friend broadcast this weekend. It was cute watching Mason draw the girl praying


Lyza's Library

Recently I finished Warriors: Fire and Ice. Warriors is about cats that live in groups called clans and the challenges they face. So far warriors is my second favorite series. Right now there are at least 55 books in the series! The author is Erin Hunter. Erin Hunter also wrote Bravelands,  Survivors, and Seekers.


Have a great week
