hApPy bIrThDaY!!!

I asked Matt what he wanted for dinner, he said Lasagna. Why Lasagna? He said because that's what he would ask for when he was little (weird) because he didn't want to be like every one else and say Pizza... So Lasagna it is. Homemade might I add! It was late since he had to work and he was at the church for 2 hours for a meeting. I had the kids wrap a shirt and gum... he got to open a X-box 360 a couple weeks early and he got him a nice pair of running shoes the day before. And I made a "Better than Disney Land Cake" (yes we changed the name)...

Here he is thinking he's pretty hot stuff because he blew all the candles out... I didn't even put 28 candles on it. So, it doesn't count!

I like this picture... see Jessica and Josh looking at him.

Field Trip!

Justin's preschool class went to Treehouse Museum for a field trip. It was a lot of fun.. for them! It was tricky to keep an eye on them since they went from one thing to another so quick. Here's a few pictures I got of them playing...

Happy Valentines Day!

The boys had a party at school, Justin on Thursday - Josh & Jaren on Friday. They played games, decorated cookies and brought home lots of candy. They thought it was the best! Friday night I picked up a heart shaped Pizza from Papa Murphy's and a movie for Matt & I. I got Fireproof because I didn't know what to get. We liked it, it was a good Tara-Valentine's Day-flick. Before the kids went to bed we played Don't Eat Pete! Jess wasn't so sure about it. She couldn't figure out why we were yelling Don't Eat Pete and did not want to play! Saturday was pretty normal... we cleaned, drove to SLC to visit G-ma & G-pa because they missed their flight, then we went grocery shopping. We've been spending more time at home with the kids and not so much going out. So that at the end of the month we don't wonder where all the money went. Just like the chocolate (best chocolate ever) and flowers that we don't need, 100 bucks goes quickly between a babysitter and date. So we are finding fun things to do at home with each other! The kids are playing, since there isn't school today. We'll probably go play in the snow in a bit, clean up the house, give the boys a haircut, make dinner and have family home evening. Unfortunately Matt didn't get Presidents Day off, so he's having a boring day at work...

I found this website today, you can create any word you want.

We are doing good! Josh & Jaren have early out at 1:15 each day this week for Parent - Teacher Conference. Friday their school announced they will be switching to the Traditional schedule next year. We were getting use to having little breaks, to take swimming lessons or a family vacation. But we're happy with traditional too. We are excited to be able to have a longer summer and not be off for a month during the winter! I'll try to write more later when I have more time.....
