So here we go: I"ll start from Yesterday and go back to the beginning of January (because that's the way the pictures downloaded and I'm too lazy to change them.)
Yesterday was such a beautiful day. It gave us a taste of Spring and we were outside for most of the day, even in t-shirts for a while! We started a new tradition, and even though this isn't a very good picture indicating the tradition, I just like that the fire pit was going and there is still snow on the ground. Our tradition is to have a "Christmas Tree burning and Hot dog roast" the first warm Saturday of the season. That's right, while everyone else is taking down christmas lights, we're burning the tree and roasting weenies on it's remains!
Wyatt Loves his cousin Blake and only gets to see him once of twice a month. We found them in grandma's room watching a movie on Ryan's Ipod, just chilling out together. It was so cute watching them stare at the tiny screen wondering how they could even see anything.
This year for Valentines Day, the whole Mehler clan took me out for dinner. Yep, that's right, Mike was in the Phillipines so Hollie was Dateless and Ryan and Ashlie just didn't have any hot dates lined up, so Mark and I went out with his siblings for V-Day. It was perfect!! (Except for the 1 1/2 hour wait at the Outback, even though we showed up at 4:30 to get a table.
This is a series of Pictures taken during our trip to Seattle. The kids had a blast making sugar cookies with Grandma (although I think grandma wondered what she had been thinking suggesting that activity towards the end). They also loved feedin the seagulls french fries at Ivars and riding the ferry boat out to Bainbridge Island.
My Sister in law Jen made this darling "Surf's Up" fondant cake for her daughter Dottie's 3rd birthday. I cannot believe how talented she is. I want to try to do one, but I'm afraid it won't even look half as cute.
These last 3 photos were taken at the American Fork pool. We tried to go to the Lehi Legacy Center, but fortunately we showed up just after someone had pooped in the pool (fortunately because we weren't in the water when it happened.) So we went on over to AF. The kids had a blast swimming and playing together. The nice thing about going swimming in the winter is that it's nowhere near as crowded as in the summer.
