Who's That Birthday Girl...

So Laurissa has turned 12 and her wish was to have a late night "Duct Tape Party" and along with it she begged to have a wide variety of delicious fruit on hand. We caved to her wishes and let the kids make there own edible fruit arrangement. They started right after school and began the decorating, then they went crazy with the duct tape 11 rolls (3 large grey, and 6 designer patterns). Not to mention the rolls her friends brought and the rolls she got in her presents, that's allot of duct tape. After they made beautiful fruit arrangements and partook in allot of fruit. they then had cupcakes, opened presents and then we let them tear up the house until 1:30am (because we are such awesome parents). Other than someone getting shot in the eye by a party popper, it seemed to go off with out a hitch. Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!

Happy Birthday Jon!!!

Yes I turned 35 years old and I don't feel a day over 20(okay, i do, who are we kidding). I came home from work to a beautifully decorated house and presents and cards just yearning to be opened. Had a little pie and then headed off to the Bayou for some Cajun eatin'. Yum!

Spiderman Spends The Night...

Jon and Sarah ventured out on their weekly much needed "Date Night" and left Laurissa in charge. Laurissa always does a great job babysitting, doing activities to keep the kiddos happy and entertained. Tonight was face painting, and Kason was so happy with his Spiderman face that he refused to take it off for bed. Sleep tight Spidey!

Disney On Ice Comes To Town...

Well needless to say the kids were excited to fine that they were going to Disney On Ice. Laurissa and Alison had a great time and enjoyed the entire show, Laurissa insisted on buy her own Disney cup and paid only 4 times more than it's actual value. Poor Kason was beside himself and couldn't understand why the Toy Story segment took so long, all he wanted to do was see Buzz and Woody, poor guy.. All in all they had a great time and Mom and Dad caved in and got them some silly light up Mickey ears but Kason's head was to big and he stretched the ears to the point that it shorted out the wiring. Oh well, can't win them all...

Snowday At The Zoo!!!

So Mom and Kason ventured off to the Zoo with some neighborhood friends and yes us Utahans do go to the Zoo in the snow cause we is crazy folk... The kids had a blast playing and seeing all the animals. We can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can experience the zoo with all the crowds and hot stinky dung.

The Girls Sing The National Anthem

After a beautiful choir performance in December, The Midvalley Elementary choir was invited to sing the National Anthem at the Utah Flash basketball game last week. They did a great job and were very excited to be on the court singing and thought it was an awesome opportunity to high five the players as they ran onto the court. Being with a majority of students from their school just made the rest of the night fun for both Laurissa and Alison, Kason just enjoyed the game and the other available activities.

Way To Go Girls!!!

Happy New Year!!!

So another year has passed, and ringing in the New Year with California rolls is a delightful treat. Along with all the other food that was prepared Jon decided to attempt California rolls and was quite successful. Good food, family, and friends. Is there any better way to ring in the New Year?

"2010 In Review"

So 2010 came and went and as you can tell, we have failed to frequently update you on what has been going on. We are getting back on track for the 2011 year, but for now, here's the condensed version for the 2010 year..

Enjoy!!!

Well we rang in the new year like everyone else, and Sarah and I celebrated our 34th Birthdays. Laurissa turned "12" (OMG!) and is just the sweetest daughter a parent can ask for. Sarah completed Cosmetology school and graduated at the end of March (Yeah we celebrated with a trip to Las Vegas). In April we had a blast hunting for Easter eggs in the SNOW! (burrrrrrr). In May we participated in organization of the first annual Williams Syndrome Walk. It was very successful and a joy to participate in. In June we celebrated 2 Birthdays, Kason turned "3" (YES 3!!!) and loves to dance and ride his bike. Alison turned "9" (WHAT!) and is full of energy and loves to be in the sunshine. We spent allot of time at Lagoon amusement park and took advantage of the season passes, enjoying rides, food, and the water park. in August we spent a long weekend at Yuba Lake, even though it was a very windy weekend, we had a blast. Yes like every year we went all out with Halloween and also had a Halloween Party, may need to pick just one next year. You can also see the spook alley on You Tube do a search for "Jon's Haunted House Spooking For Food" it is posted by redcarpetbarn11 that is Sarah's sister. Thanksgiving was fun and we got to do it twice this year, we brought all the pies (YUMMY!). Then Christmas arrived and what fun we had, The opportunity to celebrate the birth of our savior. Hope yours was bright...

Well that is it in a nutshell... Stay tuned, 2011 will be updated shortly..
