Happy Birthday Zoe, Kevin, and Keira!

We finished up the birthday run a few weeks ago at our house. It's non stop party at our house starting at Halloween, followed closely by Zoe's Birthday and then we are on to Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and ending with Kevin's Birthday, and Keira's Birthday.  Keira and Zoe were both born on the 13th of the month which I think is really fun! Zoe turned 4, Keira turned 6 and Kevin celebrated the big 3-0.  


 A little fuzzy as everyone was preparing to help blow out the candles!



We made homemade donuts for breakfast

I'm not sure who was more excited for Kevin's birthday, him or the girls!

Keira, 6 years old!

Zoe, 4 years old!

New Additions at our house

VAN - We finally gave in  and bought a van.  Ok, so really I was the holdout.  After much searching, and I mean much, we finally found a great Honda Odyssey and I admit it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be driving around a van. 

PIANO - Kevin surprised me Christmas morning with a piano in the living room (no small feat especially with me around, I tend to unknowingly ruin surprises).  I am so excited to have a piano!

BABY #4 - is on the way! Our ultrasound was today and GIRL number 4 is headed to our house.

The Ranch


We headed down to Bicknell, UT for the weekend to visit a place we call The Ranch, which is where Kevin's grandfather lives.  It always has plenty of good food and fun to offer.  We had another family come with us so the kids had double the fun as they shared all the activities with friends.  We rode 4wheelers, went shooting, took a hike, swam rather than sat in the hot tub, played pool, sat out on the deck and stargazed (the nearest neighbor lives the next hill over so no lights at all to block out the stars), drove through Capital Reef and stopped to look at the petroglyph's, spent time playing in the red dirt, pushed kids on the swings, and ate lots of Gramps yummy cooking.  They are always great hosts and we love going down there!

2010 School Starts


Keira's first day of kindergarden.  She was so excited!  Especially that dad walked to school with her.  She wanted him to do it every day.  What a big girl, it was a little hard to watch her go, but the hug I got when we met her after school made it all ok.  She was glad to leave me for school, but also very glad to come home!


Zoe's first day of preschool. She loved it! We are doing joyschool with 4 other families in the neighborhood. I was a little nervous at first to see how it would work out, but it has been wonderful! She likes switching houses and asks everyday if she has school.

Bowling

We took the kids bowling as a reward for something....I can't remember now but we love going bowling!
A few action shots:




 Sasha is helping keep score.  I think she ended up deleting 2 of Kevin's frames and renaming Zoe.


 Look mom, I hit some pins!
 Keira is quite the bowler.  She had a few spares and strikes.  She even beats us when we play wii bowling.  Watch out for this girl.
 He cleaned up with a spare on this one.  That's my guy!
