Yiyi turns 3

This last weekend we celebrated Yiyi's first birthday with her family.  She is really into Mickey mouse and wanted a Mickey mouse clubhouse party.  So this mom got to planning and we had a very fun party!  We hired an amazing face painter and all the kids got to pick what they wanted painted on their face! 

Yiyi chose Minnie mouse

Zoe chose a spider

Dad worked hard on this cake.

I was happy with how everything turned out

Hoodoo Third Annual trip

Well it finally snowed enough this year to make our Annual trip up to the snow.  This time we stayed in a house with the Blake family at Belknap Hotsprings.  The kids really enjoyed soaking in the hotsprings.  All the kids snowboarded this year.  Conor brought his friend Dylan and Parker brought his friend Colton.  We had eight kids with us alone.  Chase did really well for his first time snowboarding.  The older boys spent time on the other parts of the mountain. We celebrated Parker's birthday with a cake on Friday night, I still can't believe he's now 15.

New Year's weekend

New years we went down south to visit relatives.  It was Yiyi's first road trip.  She slept most of the three hour drive.  We had a fun weekend of playing games and visiting with old friends.

Ice skating

Zoe has been begging for what seems like forever to go iceskating.  Ever since she watched Frozen on ice.

Hope was pushed around by Kayli most of the time and loved it

 

Yiyi  was a bit too small to go around.  So she sat on the seal when it was around

Zoe loved it.  So much she wanted me to sign her up for lessons

 Zoe pushed Hope around a couple of times

 Chase brought a friend.  Chase was also a natural

 Hope had amazing balance on her skates, but put her on ice and she couldn't stand

 At the end Yiyi got to go around a couple of times
