Brooke's speed skating

Another funny video. Chris wanted to get a shot of us all coming down the mountain. First there is Josh, then me, then Britt. Last is Brooke. She had absolutely no control. She just tucked in and flew down the mountain. In the video she flies past Britt, but before we got down the mountain she had past all of us despite the fact that she was the last to start. I must say that she never fell down except when she reached the bottom. On the first run down we accidentally got on a steeper hill and without control of her speed Brooke nearly burnt the parking lot. Luckily she made herself fall over. I was yelling pizza pizza; she was yelling death death. Observers were calling for someone to teach the poor girl how to stop.

First Time on ski lift

So we had an awesome family vaca at Bear Lake. This video is from Sundance- it was my families first time skiing. Chris had a brilliant idea to go up before everyone else and record them getting off the lift for the first time. It is hilarious. What you can't see is how close my mom is to falling down the side of the mountain which makes it even better. More pics and videos to come.

First Bike Ride

It was 52 degrees yesterday and I finally got to take B out on his bike. He has been riding in our kitchen since his birthday. He could only peddle forward about two times and then he would get off and push it back- sad huh. A friend of ours came with her little guy and we walked to the park. Brandon was so proud. He kept asking me if he was the best bike rider ever. Naturally he is. The park was so muddy but that didn't stop the boys. We were so dirty when we got home and I'm pretty sure we all smelt like dogs but oh well thank goodness for a warm day.

Brandon's Birthday at Pirate Island

My sweet little Brandon turned four! I can't believe it. He decided that for his birthday he wanted to go to Pirate Island. He had a good time playing all of the games and eating his favorite spot pizza. He really thought the pirates were cool. If you ask him about his birthday he will tell you that four pirates came out and sang happy birthday and brought him ice cream. He was amazed at the balloon man too. This guy could make anything out of balloons. Kyle tried to throw him a curve and asked for a walrus but the guy did it. Happy Birthday Brandon!

Brandons Birthday

Brandon was so happy! He got some really great loot, but none better than..... his new BIKE!
I tried to put the video on of him opening all of his presents but I guess it is to big. It is cute; at the end I asked him if it was a good birthday and he said, "this is the best birthday ever." He also got a Diego Dinosaur Rescue Island and a pack of Super Heroes.

Happy Valentines

I hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day. We sure did. Brandon worked really hard making homemade valentines for all of the people he loves. All of them were his ideas pulled off with a little help from mom. He loved the glitter glue and foamy stickers. Here are a few he made. On Valentines Day we went up to Ogden- Marie wanted to take Brandon to see Nomeo and Juliet. She had special bags made for the boys which they loved of course. Chris and I went out for dinner and it was so nice to sit and laugh and eat without our kids.
