Music and Ice Cream
Saturday afternoon when Jared and I got back from the temple we decided that my mom and the kids needed to get out of the house. It was snowing like crazy but we ventured out to the Red Barn for some ice cream. It was soooo good. Who says you can't have ice cream on a cold day.

Manti
Jared and I had the great opportunity to go to the Manti temple today to watch his Grandma Myrt get sealed to her parents. It was so awesome to be there again, since it was our first time back to Manti since we were sealed last year. It was definately a great way to spend a Saturday. And Thanks to my awesome mom for driving down to watch my kids.

Happy Valentines Day
MaKady was 11 months old when Jared and I met. As a couple we have always had kids and we never wanted anyone to feel left out. It has been our tradition for all these years to have dinner as a family on Valentines Day. We always have ribs, potatoes, green beans, sparkling apple cider and fortune cookies. This year was no different. We had our typical dinner and gave the kids their presents (we always get the kids something, and we don't get each other anything). It was a lot of fun as usual.

1 Year Old Pictures
While we were in St. George we took Lucas out to take pictures for his birthday. As I've said before he is not crazy about the camera and he just wanted to play. We did end up with a few good pictures. Such a Cutie.

Birthday Cake
Saturday February 6, 2010
Because Lucas' birthday happened to be the same weekend as super bowl I thought it would be fun to make his cake look like a football. Originally I had planned on taking a couple of round cakes and then cutting them down to look like footballs, but the cakes I had made were some that I made for Lucy's wedding that I didn't end up needing. I wrapped them and froze them for the week, then brought them down with us when we went to St. George. I let them thaw on Tabi's counter and when I went to cut them to use for a birthday cake they fell apart, when I say "fell apart" I mean they crumbled completely when I touched them. It was a mess and needless to say, we were not about to eat those things, so into the garbage they went (I cringe as I'm typing this because I really hate wasting anything) but that is where they belonged.
Tabi happened to have 1 cake mix so we ended up making it into cupcakes and then squishing a few together to make the little cake for Lucas. Paige and MaKady didn't think it looked very much like a football, but what can you do? It tasted good and it was perfect for Lucas.
Lucas' cake
The rest of the cupcakes
He was a little scared of the cake at first. He would act like he was going to touch it and then he would back away. Finally Uncle Kole just held it up to his mouth. One taste of that yummy chocolate frosting and he was ready for more.
Just like his mom, licking his fingers.
Happy 1st Birthday Lucas!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Lucas!!!Pizza & Bowling
Everyone knows that I love going to St. George, so it should be no surprise that we went down for the weekend. It was Lucas' birthday and we really wanted to get away into the sunshine. Well wouldn't you know it, it rained the whole weekend, but we had a super fun time anyway.
A trip to St. George would not be complete for us without our regular trip to Pirate Island Pizza. We just love it and we can't get enough. This time they gave the kids little pirate hats and of course the kids played in the arcade. We had a giant pizza and yummy bread sticks and at the end they even sang Lucas "Happy Birthday."
Now he looks like a pirate/vampire!!!
My and my sisters,
Tabi, Mary, Me & Hannah
MaKady, Mary, Paige, Trinity & Jared
Kole, Tabi, & MaKady
Me, Hannay, & Lucas
Paige, Trinity, & Jared
Singing Happy Birthday
They brought Lucas a giant plate of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup. He ate the whole thing.
For Lucas' birthday we went bowling and the little bowling alley in Hurricane by Tabi's house. We had so much fun. Jared even helped Lucas bowl - So cute. We had such a great time visiting our family and many friends that we haven't seen in a long time.

Lucy's Wedding
Saturday was the big day and a day that most of our family never thought we would see, but Lucy finally got married. The self proclaimed Batchlarette for life finally tied the knot. Lucy and Lee got married in the Timapanogos Temple and it was beautiful. We are so happy for them.
Saturday was a long day for our family. After staying up half the night finishing Lucy's cakes we got up early Saturday morning and gathered at the temple. Tabi, Kole, Hannah and Bryce waited in the waiting area with the kids so that Jared and I could attend the sealing.
Afterwards Tabi and I (mostly Tabi) were busy taking pictures.
Grandma Elaine and my dad
Lucas & Jared
My beautiful mom
Jared, Me & Lucas at the family luncheon. Lucas was so tired he never sleeps anywhere but his crib, but he finally passed out and slept for about 2 hours just like this. Poor thing.
Oh the Cake!!!! They turned out really good I think. They are 10"w x 6"h covered in buttercream and white chocolate ganache. They tasted sooo good. Tabi and Hannah helped me so much I couldn't have done it without them. Thanks girls!!
Lucy had these giant candle stands and she wanted her cakes to look like candles.
My parents, Lucy & Lee
So Lucy didn't have time to get all her pictures printed out before the reception so at the last minute I was running around trying to find someone to print them, finally Walgreens was able to and I made it to the reception just in time to fill in the frames.
Cutting the cake
Kole and Tabi (Tabi was busy taking pictures of everyone, so I thought it would be nice if she had her picture taken too.)
Brittney, Brock, & Paige
MaKady (not sure what she was doing in this picture, but...)
Our family (do we look tired? Because we really were, it was a looooonnngggg day.)
Kole & Jared just hanging out.
