BIRTHDAYS!!!!!!!!

January use to belong to Bev - the whole month - now it belongs to 2 brown eye girls. Paige and Bev celebrated their birthdays with some exciting parties, extreme bowling, and lots of balloons and candles. (I wont tell you who had the balloons and who had the candles. We had tons of fun with Mimmi and Papa Joe in town and the Ogden family making two trips up. Here are some highlights.

We went bowling for Bev's Birthday. Aiden had the best game (of course he had the rails up), and mom and dad had a horrible game (of course the rails were down). Here is Bev showing us the perfect form to throw a gutter ball.

At Paiges birthday she had friends over and they played games and decorated cupcakes.

Here is one of the Paiges gift a baby doll and stoller. She also received a new bike.

We had a great week celebrating, eating lots of cake and ice cream.

Christmas 2007

It began on Christmas Eve, a huge snowstorm, crazy roads and shoveling about a foot of snow off the driveway. All the while kids begging to open gifts. Then 6 am hits, kids singing Christmas songs in the room, just loud enough to get our attention. Doesn't work. So they took more drastic measures - jump on the bed. That worked. 6:30 am a cup of coffee, excited kids and anticipation of opening gifts. 7:00 am gifts open and a long day ahead of pulling toys out of boxes, putting together action figures, and looking for more batteries. Aiden gets a poster of his favorite football team!

Later on that day, we traveled to what would be 1 of 3 trips to Ogden, to be with all of my family who were all down for the holidays. We had a great time opening gifts and having a great Christmas dinner.

We were able to give dad a gift from all of us kids - A Denver Bronco helmet signed by some old time players.
It was fun to see all my family and the excitement of all the cousins being together. It will be a Christmas we will always remember and cherish.

This picture is just cute - it's begging to be shared.
