Grandma & Grandpa's new cabin

My parents are in the process of buying a cabin up in Centerville. It is about 1 1/2 hours away up in the mountains. As of right now it looks like they have 4 - 5 feet of snow to play in! Fun times.






Up and down the hill we went, sometimes on sleds sometimes on our butts. It was pretty fun.

Ella's 4th Birthday!

Ella got to go to 2 places for her birthday. First, last Thursday we went to Red Robin for Ethan's birthday. They also sang to her. For her birthday she chose Carls Jr. SO we are pretty done with Hamburgers for a while. After dinner we went to Bounce. We had all the cousins, aunts and uncles and Grandma and Grandpa Richards meet us there.


Emma stuck on the Velcro.

This is what Grandpa Richards had to do to get Ella to sit for a picture. She was being so silly.
gEthan got beat up by some mean kid right after this. :(

Cousin Sam didn't care if he was riding in a pink car!

Ella and her favorite cousin, Harper.

All the cousins.

After Bounce we all headed over to our house for presents, cake and ice cream! Yummy.

Who wouldn't want a pink sparkly piggy bank?

A new jewelry box from mom and dad.

Mike and Teawna gave Ella a barbie.

Playing Barbie's with Aunt Shannon!

It was a fun packed night and we are all tired. Thanks for all that showed up. We had a blast. Thankfully we have no more birthdays until September.

Ethan's 7th Birthday

We started by going to Red Robin for dinner where they sang Happy Birthday and he got an ice cream sundae.


After dinner we came home and had a couple of Ethan's best friends over. As you can see, Tanner didn't want to be in the picture.

He got an Atlantis Lego set from Grandma and Grandpa Oregon!


Army guys from Tanner, which Ethan just loves. I have no idea why I never got Ethan anything like this. He plays with it nonstop and the other kids want to play too.

I giant cupcake with Orange and Blue Sprinkles! Yummy.

We got him that Nerf Stampede he has wanted. 60 darts all over my house! The thing is huge and almost bigger than him!

Happy Birthday to my special little guy, it makes me sad you are getting so big but at the same time I love watching you get excited about getting 100% on your spelling tests at school, reading your books in record time and learning how to tie your shoes.
