Oh What do you do in the winter time?

Winter is full of long, cold days that keep us in the house. These are some of the things we have been doing to pass the time. Spiderman and Ironman had a full out wrestling match/battle of the superheroes. I think Spiderman is winning at this point.

You pose for the camera.

You are forced (by your sisters) to listen to "We Will Rock You" with your own headphones so the rest of us don't have to listen to it for the millionth time.

You make a tractor/train while mom mops the floor.
You play Mrs. Puddleduck in your preschool play.
"Quack quack white rabbit, get those dreadful red wings out of my mouth."
You wake up excited Valentines morning to some large chocolate lips and one chocolate fish.
You become a picasso in your own right, wearing old t-shirts of moms. You also get more paint on your face than the t-shirt.
You get caught drinking your bath water. Ewww.
You ride your bikes in the garage, because frankly, we are just sick of the snow and cold and couldn't wait any longer.
You have a picnic in the garage as well, willing better weather to come.
Here's to getting through a cold March!

In-laws

I have to say, I have the best in-laws. I hear lots of complaints from friends about their in-laws and I feel so lucky because I really have the greatest in-laws. This is the most recent picture of everyone is Josh's family, minus the two babies that will be born this year, (none coming from me).

We always have a good time when we get together which seems to be quite often. There is always much laughter and good memories made. Whether its playing cards or making up our own games with a scattergories dice it is always a blast. I am very thankful for a great mother and father in-law that have always treated me just like one of their own. And his siblings for being some of my best friends.

I don't know how many of them read this blog, but this is me, telling them how much I love them and appreciate them. Here's to at least 100 more years of good times.

Play Dead

We did go to temple square during Christmas. The girls saw some older college age girls taking a picture and decided to copy them. They thought they were so cute and so did I.

January was long and cold. But these first few days of February have been even colder. Luckily, the groundhog did not see his shadow. So according to Presley spring is here. She was so excited yesterday and doesn't understand that an early spring in Wyoming means that June might be warm. Oh well, we will take that.

Not much has been going on. Josh only has two more tournaments for wrestling that he has to go to, regionals and nationals. College wrestling has a very long season. The kids and I have been going to basketball games wherever we can find them, college or high school. Teag loves it and has now adopted "We will rock you" as his "game song." His words, not mine. He also has a "game shirt" (basketball jersey/ tank top with numbers on it, whichever is clean) that he wears everyday and night. Its awesome, let me tell you.

In January we did make a quick trip to Gunnison CO, Kenady's birthplace, as it was dubbed by the kids. Josh had a wrestling tournament there so we decided to make it a weekend for all of us. It was fun to see some of our old friends and eat at some of our favorite restaurants. The kids didn't have as much fun as Josh and I but, hey, its not always about them right?

This video is of Teag playing dead. He is quite good at it and will drag it on for a while. He had a little bit of flatulence in the middle of this video, but just ignore that. He is such a funny little boy. We love every minute of it.

Here's to a warmer February.
