Happy Birthday Emily!

Emily is 10! We have always called her M&M so this year we thought we would have an M&M cake.  We had fun designing, making, and most of all eating it.  Her birthday landed on a sunday and we had the boys ordination the same day so celebrated bothwith her favorite dinner, sloppy joes.  Grandma and Granpa Moon, Jessica and Josh, and Uncle Don all joined us.  It was a great day from start to finish.  She celebrated the next day by going to the movies with her best friend Makayla and big sister Katy.  She is growing up all too fast.  The picture of her dancing in the snow, freezing her feet, without a care is such a great picture of her personality.  She is loving and carefree and always has a great story!

My boys are 12!

Jacob and Hunter had their 12th birthday on Valentine's Day.  They chose to go to dinner with Jonathan and me rather than have a party.  We had a $20 gift card to Chili's so we loved the idea.  We had a great time being with just them.  They received the Priesthood on Feb. 19th (Emily's Birthday).  Jonathan gave them each beautiful blessings and it was hard not to be the proud mama.  They both looked so handsome last week as they passed the sacrament for the first time.  Niether one seemed nervous and both showed great respect for what they were doing.  It was an awesome and overwhelming experience to watch Hunter pass the sacrament to his dad on the stand as well as the rest of the Stake Pres. and bishopric.  I love having 3 priesthood holders in our home.  They have done baptisms for the dead twice and both love it.

For the boys birthday they wanted to check out a new park near our home.  I was freezing so I sat in the car and they had a blast climbing all kinds of crazy contraptions! 

Valentine's Day at School!

Janey, Alyss, and Cannon had fun coming with me to help celebrate Valentines day at school.  We brought donuts into the boys class for their birthday and stopped in to Emily's class to see her cute  boxes. 

February Firehouse fieldtrip!

Cannon is in love with fire trucks right now so we planned a little fieldtrip to the firestation with some friends.  He was scared to death of the firefighter in his uniform but loved driving the big truck!

Katy's Choir

Katy was selected as one of 8 students to represent her school in the Utah Honors Jr. High Choir Concert.  She spent all day Friday and Sat. morning learning 5 songs (3 of which were not in English) and then performed them Sat. afternoon.  There were over 45 schools represented and over 350 students.  The sound was amazing and we were all impressed by their ability to memorize and learn the music in such a short amount of time.  It was unforgettable experience for her.

January snow!

We finally got a little snow and the kids loved playing in it and building a snowman.  We wish there was enough for sledding.  The boys got sleds for Christmas they still have yet to use.
