Snow Fun!

All my bigs have found best friends in our neighborhood and Kingston has done the same, he talks and hangs out with Gavin so much he mistakingly calls his sibling their name, they are quite the duo!

They have made sledding hills at cico that are super awesome, thankfully we went during a time that the big kids were in school, or this could be a danger zone.

SPIN CITY

Roller skating with my kids and friends on a day off of school a week and a half ago, I was so sore and I am pretty sure I fractured my knee from falling but it was so worth it and fun. Manhattan needs a skating rink!!

This is how we roll

basketball one weekend, Monroe vs Caroline's Wamego basketball team

I prefer them on the volleyball court on the same team:)

volleyball photocreds to Cole:)
These faces of volleyball are some of my favorite!!! We had our first volleyball tourney a couple weekends a girl and the girls did awesome, so fun to watch their intensity and excitement.



Marlins cheering on their teammate:)








Feels like -7 out but Grandma & Grandpa Say still brave it to get to a game:)

One of 2 basketball tourneys Monroe will play in, I think this has been a challenge learning the game, but is keeping her in good shape.

I don't think my husband likes coaching at all;)

These boys played in their first basketball tourney and took 3rd, they lost one game in the last 30 seconds by one, did I mention I get super excited and I'm a yeller, yes they are in 3rd grade... Our team won first for fouls, we had 9 and the other team had 1 in the first half, Jude went off with a bloody lip and 4 fouls...




My personal favorite part of game days, eating out afterwards...

Kingston is enjoying taekwondo and is learning about confidence, respect and being brave, they are the cutest.

Hostess with the mostess

My sister is awesome! A lot of times I am not sure where I fit in my family because I feel like my sisters are overachievers. This one I just wish lived closer but then I couldn't go intrude on her family for a week and have her plan everything. She planned, organized and made the best week for all of us. It's a natural mood lifter when I am around her. 

Roe: I want decorate my house like Jessie does when I get older. I totally get it Roe, there are so many characteristics that I didn't inherit that I could use of hers.And Preston, or fat dad-o as Stella calls him, the chef, laid back funny one, this is a great combo here.

New Years Eve we went to a friend of my sister who has 6 kids, Preston led a dance party and this particular friend is a pyro therefore fireworks were involved at midnight.

 2 hours of jumping and rock climbing for 8.00 well worth it!







Toe touches by my hub and Roe

1.00 swim day at the Surf and Swim

Xander: Mom, see we need an X box because it encourages family time...

Gaming

Gorgeous temple lights along with some polygamous & bums

The most Jessie and I are alike is that we created the same child, these two are so weirdly similar it is crazy! 
& probably one of my kids favorite outings of the week was at the Dartside where there are 2 teams and Nerf war. Thanks for an awesome week Ponds.

Girl Power

These two were stuck like glue for the week, Stella offered pedicures during puzzle time, she is a hoot, I wish I could have had some footage of her singing and dancing, I am not sure where she came from.

Several things we need to open in Manhattan, "Fizz" a place to get yummy flavored cokes with good ice and cookies

Sephora stop to try on lip color

love us some puzzles
