Cortney and my birthday

Grandma and Grandpa at the Roller Rink and Ally's cute new pink glasses:)

That's me and Cortney posing in the middle
Cortney and I had the same shrimp and angel hair pasta dish with salsa. Very Good
This was my cake. Naomi made it! Beautiful isn't it! Three layers and it looked just like the picture :)

New Years

Tera had 11 kids to entertain and have a party with at our house. Jerry and Naomi and Nicole and JB and family came to celebrate. So instead of buying poppers she had the kids make noise makers. They each designed bags and made paper airplanes to throw too! She is so good at this! Cortney and the others put up streamers around the living room. They spent lots of time during the day making airplanes and getting all excited. Tera really knows how to get the kids involved and extra excited for events like this :)
I played with them for a while then as the kids went their way for a bit, and the adults started playing ticket to ride I went to a big YSA activity. I danced the night away and brought some of the party back with me. This picture is missing Jenn Hogan who started out with us but about 2:30ish went to bed. These two stayed and worked on the puzzle til 6 AM. Yup thus the faces. BUT look how much of the puzzle we completed in one tired sitting :) Jared was determined to connect the castle...oh and can you say what a lucky guy to be surrounded by us for so long :)

Rexburg Idaho Temple

A quick shot as we approached. It was a beautifully snowy day. The flakes were perfect, with the most wonderful designs and slowly falling. Temples and snow- I couldn't ask for more! Me and the Rexburg Temple. I wanted a group shot but my Aunt was in a hurry to get back.
Idaho Falls Temple- We drove past so I had to snap--it's what I do :)
Thomas, the 7 year old changing his little bro's diaper. Mom has them trained well :)

We were watching Dancing With the Stars and Bella started dancing around for us. She grabbed the Beast and suddenly had the perfect routine :) Bella and the Beast

Look at the green... Ewww- At least William likes Spinach in the mushy form :)

One more Halloween picture from this year. The Smurfette, Flapper and the Oompaloompa :)
And they wonder why I miss Logan so much but with roomies like these...
