Chocolate Party

My friend Karri and I hosted a Chocolate Party for the gals in the ward. We had a great time. Getting everything organized and set up. We supplied white chocolate and milk chocolate along with some fruit, pretzels, marshmallows, and bacon. We had each person who came bring a food item that could be dipped in chocolate. It was fun to see all the different things people brought. We had a fun night eating and visiting together.

Valentines Date Night

After a long day of playing in the snow on Saturday, we rushed back to Noah's Mom's house where we got ready for our Valentines date night. All the grandchildren spent the evening with Grandma for a special fancy Valentines dinner, some crafts and movie night. Noah and I went out to dinner a Tahoe Joe's and ordered the dinner for two special. Then headed to the movies to watch When In Rome. It was a pretty good romantic comedy. It made us laugh anywayAfter that we headed to the Sacramento Temple, where I took some night shots. We even tried out my remote. We had a lot of fun together. We are blessed to have such a great mom who will take care of all 9 grand-kids so we can enjoy and evening out. Thanks Grandma Smith.

Snow Day!

Saturday we spent most of our day in the snow. It was a gorgeous sunny day echo summit. We went with Noah's sister Rebecca and her family. We also brought our nephew Logan along while his parents are in Hawaii. We always have the greatest time together. All the cousins pair off and enjoy playing in the snow together. They did lots and lots of sledding. Single sledding, Buddy Sledding, and Race Sledding.
They did some snowball making, building snowman, making snow forts, and just being silly in the snow. Theses are some of the silly snow faces of us having fun.

Valentines Day

Valentines day was celebrated early this year because we spent our valentines weekend at Grandma Smith's house. But every year it is tradition for me to give my girls a little something for Valentines day and Noah to get the girls some clothes. This year I found little mailboxes and filled them with fun stuff for my girls. Noah was able to get them 3 adorable outfits. The girls loved them. Noah even brought home an early valentine for me. A dozen red roses. Happy Early Valentines Day!

Bowling for Ashlyn's Birthday

This year Ashlyn wanted to do something really fun for her birthday party. She chose to go bowling even though that meant less friends to invite. She decided to do the rock n bowl and have a Jonas Brothers themed party. I spent the morning getting her Jonas Brothers cake ready and making sure all the goodie bags were ready. They got our lanes and tables set up for us, then they turned off the lights, got the music, and disco ball going. We ordered our pizza and started bowling. While they bowled they ate their pizza and later had cake and Ashlyn opened up her presents. Ashlyn and her four guests had a blast. It was a great 9th Birthday
