ICE SKATING

The boys were at a dirt bike event so Laurie and I decided to take the girls Ice Skating. Let's just say that Peyton does not have a career in Ice Skating…she cracked me up all night!!

The girls ready to hit the Ice

 She actually did better without this granny walker

GO JAZZ!!

My Mom had some extra tickets to the Jazz game so Peyton and I had a date night. 

 Peyton was living the life. Lounging in a comfy seat with a warm blanket

 Miss P with Gramps and Grams

 My 2 favorite girls

and the biggest miracle of all was the Jazz actually won the Heat

SUPERBOWL

We love us some Football in this house and since none of our teams made it to the Super Bowl we thought we would cheer for the Broncos…that was a mistake. They got their butts kicked but still a fun night. We had Ben, Laurie, Dallas and Lindsay over and all the kiddos.

 GO BRONCOS

 Caleb is a little outnumbered in the Boy department he said the girls were punching him so he stuffed himself so it "won't hurt when they hit me"

Impossible to get a normal picture with all these kiddos.

LOVE DAY!!

To say Valentine's was a flop this year is so true. I got sick, like really sick for 4 days and Valentine's fell on one of those days. So we were just lucky to have me up and moving around a little that day. Luckily I was prepared and had all the kids Valentine's ready for school. Just no cute dinner that night and poor Quinn:)

 Peyton with her new dog Brownie. Quinn buys her a large stuff animal every year.

 All decked out for school

 She sure loves her brother…him not so much loving his little sister hugging him. I think she does it now just to bug him and I highly encourage it:) 

 All ready to hand out their cards. Caleb made loom band bracelets that said "I'm loomy for you"

 Peyton made smores that said "I need smore friends like you"

 Peyton with her assortment of large animals. Were going to run out of space if Quinn keeps up this tradition. 

 Peyton brought home the top 10 reasons why she loves her brother.

The best part of the night. Having an awesome/amazing friend Laurie bring my kids a heart shaped pizza because there was no way I was making dinner. Thats love right there!!

BRITNEY BABY!!

Quinn had a conference down in Vegas so for an early Valentine's he got me tickets to see Britney. He wasn't so thrilled about going but was a sweet husband and still took me. Let's just say don't waste your money. She was horrible she lip synced the WHOLE thing besides 2 songs which she was a little off key the whole time. She can't dance…it was awkward watching her. I'm glad I went to mark it off but never again would I go back. I was under the impression it was a Cirque De Soleil kind of production and where she did have some cool back-up dancers it was nothing amazing considering she's in Vegas surrounded by AMAZING talent. Just my 2 cents:) 

 Waiting for the party to begin:) 

 She came out of this ball for the opening

 Maybe the one cool thing she did but that was about it

She was so awkward in this dance I wish the pictures showed it

Thanks to my awesome sister Lindsey for watching my kids so Quinn and I could have some "us" time.

SNOW,SNOW,SNOW

We spent a weekend up at the cabin and we got hammered by snow. Over 14" of snow fell that weekend. We were lucky to get out of there I thought we would be snowed in. It made for a fun weekend of building snow forts, snowmobiling, snowman's and lots of hot chocolate and fires. 

We thought we were going to loose her in all that snow

 Caleb tried some snowshoeing 

 then we lost him

 Our sweet snowman. 

I haven't made one forever and man they are a lot of work

Caleb in his snow fort. Don't worry Mom we were there with him the whole time and then made him destroy it once we left. 

GIRLS NIGHT OUT

The older boys left for a Boys weekend so Laurie and I took the girls to the U of U gymnastics meet and got the younger boys a babysitter. It was a fun night and even better they won.

 3 beauties right there

 My girl

They had a sleepover the night before and stayed up way too late so they were all a little tired.
