I was lucky enough to spend some time with Monica's girls Jane and Hannah last week. Monica was resting after having her baby and its as so fun! Jane is a cute, energetic smart little girl!

We had some fun with cousins, we had New beginnings at YW at church, snow days with cousins, and we had a bday weekend for Lizzie's 7th bday! 

Friday after school I took Lizzie to the mall to get her ears pierced! She was SO excited and could not wait to go!  She was very brave and didn't cry at all. I love how awesome she is! 

She picked out her new earrings and was thrilled with it all! We had fun weekend full of snow and lots of fun! 

Sunday was her really Bday, we went to church, and then had a big birthday dinner for her 7th bday! She wanted fake glasses,  squishes, her ears pierced for her bday! She was so excited about all of it! She wanted spaghetti, salad and bread for dinner with an ice cream cake for dessert. 

Happy Birthday adorable Lizzie! We love you so much!  We are so happy you are part of our family! 

We have had a busy couple of weeks! things are going well and the days just race by.
Isaac got his right arm cast off and has a brace on it to wear for the next 8 weeks. It's been really long winter for him!
Lizzie had a fun day spent at the park with friends. We met cousins for free frozen yogurt at Yogurtland, and the YW had a fun activity here at our house learning all about music and how to lead music.
I got to spend some time with cute James while his parents were in Hawaii. 

We had a day off of school so we went swimming at the Murray pool with cousins. It was tons of fun! Taylor took this gorgeous picture of sunset on one of his bike rides this last week. He has been biking so much even though it's winter! 

Danny went to Hawaii for work and swam and dove with sharks! He thought it was awesome! I thought it sounded terrifying and scary!
Emily has started volleyball at Club V again. She really loves
Volleyball and she's getting really good at it!

We had a great Valentines Day! Everyone had clever, cute V day boxes and we celebrated Taylor's 15th birthday! 

Taylor was chubby, happy baby. He was smily and easy. He was a inquisitive, chatty, smart toddler who was obsessed with cars, animals, trucks, and "Thomas the Train".  Now he's a smart, talented fun teenager! We had fun celebrating him all day!
I can not believe he is 15! 

He had school, then he went for a mountain bike ride, then we went to dinner at Rubio's for fish tacos, donuts for dessert, and then to YM/YW for an hour. After we surprised him with having friends over for food, games and a hot tub party! It was a terrific night! 

The very next day cute Lauren Bauman was born! Natalie and I went to the hospital that night to see her for the first time! She is perfect, darling and precious! Her big sisters are so excited and happy to meet her! 

We have been having lots of cousin time to help Monica and Dave out. The girls are so easy to have over and the kids all have a blast! 

 This week while the kids are in school jane has been coming over to play! She is smart, has lots of energy and is a lot of fun!
It's been great to have her with me! 

One day we had Hannah and Jane too! Love our cousins!

Lizzie lost both of her 2 front teeth this week! She is looking so grown up. We had lots of fun with friends and cousins this week.
Also we had a great YW Chinese New Year activity and the girls loved it! 

We went skiing on Saturday at Alta. Everyone hit the slopes and skied all together. Unfortuatnely Isaac is still in his cast on his right arm so he hung out in the lodge playing games, watching shows, hanging out with Megan and Lucy and eating snacks.
It was a fun day and everyone did great on the mountain. 

Looking forward to Valentines day next week!
