Grandpa and Grandma

Brooklyn, Grandpa and Missy

Grandma and Grandpa Defa and Verlynn came and spent the weekend with us. We had a lot of fun shopping on Saturday. We also went for a drive to see some real dinosaur tracks that are over 200 million years old. We also seen an old fort and some Indian petroglyphs. I wish I had my camera with me when we were there. I had some great photo ops that I missed. It was so nice to have them down.

Be My Valentine

No pictures of Jacee, he didn't want me to take any. Guess he's afraid I will blog it. I will say he did get a valentine from a special someone that he has liked for 3 years. Nathan had a class party with a chocolate fountain and lots of stuff do dip in it. Brooklyn always gets to go too and she even got a few valentines from a few of the sweet kids in Nathan's class. I did get flowers, but there wasn't a name on the card, so who knows who they are from. No Marco was very sweet and sent them to me. It was a sweet day.

CuB ScOut MoTto: Do Your Best!

Nathan earned his bobcat badge last night. He really likes being a scout and his scout leader lives right next door. Last night was also the blue and gold banquet with the theme being The Chinese New Year. They had chinese food for dinner, so guess what Nathan ate? Your right nothing. I love the scouting program, and we are very lucky to have great scout leaders. Next month is the pinewood derby and Marco takes this very seriously, so I will update you on how that goes...

Sunshine

Nathan is now an official member of the Utah Jazz. At least for his eight year old team. I sometimes think he forgets that he is actually in the middle of a game but he is getting better and he likes to play. He loves the fact that his team is the Jazz and I really think that is all that matters to him about the actual game.

Brooklyn loves the playground and now that it is warmer I need to take her more. Just like I need to exercise and eat less junk food and quit yelling at my kids. I think I will take her to the playground, it is probably the easiest to accomplish out of the above.

Across the Universe

I had never heard of this movie before but rented it this weekend and loved it! All of the Beatles songs and all of the actors who sang in the movie were incredible. It is a musical so if you don't like that then you might not like this, but I found it very interesting and visually beautiful. Some of the shots were so...they just really popped out of the tv. I sound so weird but it was a good movie. When they were smoking some stuff, the movie got a little weird but I guess thats what they felt like. I really want the sound track. Marianne I know you like the Beatles so you will either like this movie or hate it because it isn't the Beatles singing. If anyone watches this or has seen it, let me know what you think.

Snow Day!

Wow we looked out the window tonight and it was snowing! It is dark and cold but you can hear kids all around outside laughing and playing. Jacee and Nathan even built a snow man. I say I don't miss the snow but when it actually snows down here it is like Christmas. While most of you are digging your way out of feet of snow we are thankful for our rare dusting. SNOW DAY!

Nathan's Baptism

Nathan was baptized yesterday. It was a very nice baptism and he was really excited for his day. Marco did a great job and I am proud of both of them.I did ask him if he wanted to be baptized and he sayed yes. I am now questioning the reason he chose to be baptized because when I told him he doesn't really get gifts for being baptized he replied "Well if you change your mind you can get me an Elvis poster." I think that would be an appropriate gift for following Jesus example. But I chose to get him his own scriptures. He also picked out desert which was an oreo cake.

Nathan and Tyson

ok, she didn't get baptized but she just looked so darn cute!
