Yesterday Wes and his friends went the the Krishna Temple to participate in the festival of colors.  They had a great time!

The chalk turned his rubber bands on his braces pink.  Amazingly we got it all out of his clothes!  I am not really sure what this festival is all about, but they had a great time!!

Rob, Cindi & Jayden come for a visit!

Lucky for us, Cindi and Rob came to Utah to ski with some friends.  They were nice enough to bring Jayden with them.  It was so much fun having them all here.  We hated to see them go.001

They took the kids to the Children’s Museum and a brazilian restaurant.  Of course they had a super time!

We brought balloons with notes addressed to Jimmy and Jason attached to the cemetery.

We had a fun game night with Sherri and the girls.

Some of us went to cheer Connor on at one of his Lacrosse games!  It was freezing Cold!!!

Some of us did a lot more whining than cheering!  (It really was cooooold!!)

These two had so much fun together.  It was as if they had never been apart.  Parker loved having Jayden here.  He cried so hard on Sunday when he had to go home.

015So cute! Breakfast of champions!

Thanks to Jayden for making the really long trip to hang out for just a few days!

005Thanks Cindi and Rob for a fun weekend!  We love you guys!  Come again soon!!

Puzzle Time!

We had a great time putting this puzzle together as a family!  I don’t know what it is, but I just LOVE puzzles.  I get so addicted to them.  “Just one more piece” I will always tell myself, then an hour will go by.

Unfortunately, we lost a piece!  Bummer!

Parker had to get into the action, so we had him put together something a little simpler.

He was so proud of this puzzle!  Such a cute kid!!!

Braden’s 13th Birthday!

So I am a little behind.  It has been a month since Braden turned 13.  We enjoyed a “yummy” dinner the Saturday before at one of those buffet steak restaurants.  Rod and I grinned and bore it.  The kids had a blast.  With life being so busy, it was a simple night with cake and a present or two.  Braden got an acoustic bass that is way too big for him, but we are all looking forward to hearing him play it all around the house and not having to hook up to an amp.
