One of the reasons I love Sundays is this: it is one day a week that for the most part our kids get along (for the most part). One Sunday we noticed it was pretty quiet and went upstairs to investigate. We found all the kids playing with with those color changing cars in the bath tub with bubbles, and even though they weren't IN the tub, they were all drenched like they were.

Sweet Sundays
Happy Heart Day
This year we got a special treat and Grandma and Grandpa Jeppsen got to visit us over Valentine's Day. They guys let us girls go and get pedicures and it was Caitlyn and Emma's first time. Other than being extremely tickelish they loved it, especially since they got to pick out and take home their own bottle of nail polish. Valentine's Day happened to fall on a Sunday this year, but we were still able to celebrate and have our traditional heart shaped pizza dinner by candlelight (even though it was during the middle of the afternoon) and chocolate fountain. Happy Valentine's Day!
PS...Sorry for the bad quality of pictures, I am not sure what was wrong with my camera, or probably the lady taken the pictures. :)
The Luck of the Irish
The family life center had a little meet and greet for the kids. They got to meet the ND cheerleaders and the official Leprachaun mascot.
Boys and Baseball
Brandon wanted to dress Parker up in his old baseball uniform, and Parker was just loving it. I am sure we will have many more pictures like this in the not so distant future. Parker is counting down the years until he can play baseball, or soccer, or football--just like his big brother Brandon.
Murphy the Monkey
Caitlyn's kindergarten class has a special friend Murphy the Monkey that gets to go home one weekend with each of the kids. They get to READ to him and basically he gets to go anywhere and do anything that they do that weekend. The kicker is that the kids get to scrapbook a page about all their fun activities, so we had to make sure Murphy had a great time. The activities Caitlyn wanted to do that weekend included baking her favorite cookies, snickerdoodles, going swimming at the ND rec center, a play date at our friend's house, reading, and of course a trip to primary.

Everyone Needs One of These
We had to ship some of our Christmas presents home because we couldn't fit everything in our suitcases and when the box finally arrived the kids were very happy to see their new treasures. BUT, they were equally ecstatic to get to play in the big box that those treasures came in and it kept them entertained not just for hours, but for days. Love the box.

New Years Day
2010 started out with yummy colored pancakes and then finished up with a little bowling.
New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve was great, lots of fun games and of course, lots of good food. Something extra fun the kids got to do was to make a time capsule. Each one had a picture of them and a paper they filled out with lots of questions about what is going on in the world and what their favorite things are.
Sledding Three Times
On New Year's Eve day we went sledding, but this time we did it Plain City style. We went out to my Grandma and Grandpa's house and my Uncle Jerry's house and got to go sledding in their field. We tie sleds up to a four wheeler and it pulls us through the snow, around the field. It really is so much fun and it brings back memories because that is what we used to do when I was a kid. And just like old times, Grandpa had a big bonfire going for us and Grandma had some delicious soup and hot chocolate to warm us up from the inside out. It was such a fun day, and great memories for my kids, thanks Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Jerry and Aunt Kit, for letting us come! We love you!
Sledding Twice
The day we planned to go visit the Ashton's, Parker started running a fever, so Matt took the other kids down to their house so they could hang out for the day. They had so much fun playing with Josh and Alli, and they had a special treat, they finally got to meet their new puppy, Ewok. Plus, they got to go sledding again, which is always a crowd pleaser.
The Lights on Temple Square
Even though it was FREEZING cold, we took some time to go visit and see the lights on temple square. They were amazing as usual and the kids loved them. And of course we finished the night off with some Hires Big H, root beer. They make the best root beer freezes, Y-U-M!
