Grinders

After football Riley joined back up with he Grinders, the day before his first tournament he broke his collar bone snowboarding....so he took 7 weeks off and is back at it. He is playing AA on the Green team and loving every minute of it! Nix got to come along for a few games today and was pretty into it as well....maybe he is a future catcher like his big brother.

Durango, CO

We decided to take a well needed break....and found an amazing deal at Durango Mountain Resort. Let me just start off by saying its been years 5 to be exact since i have strapped on a snowboard....I was not really that good then and have had a few kids and gained a few pounds since then so I was a little apprehensive to give the go ahead on this trip, but the thought of spending 4 days by myself with my man sounded amazing and it was more than amazing. Yummy dinners, sleeping in, the view from my bed each morning was so beautiful! All the stress of babysitters for the kids, their game schedules, and my anxiety of living 5 kids for someone else to deal with was totally worth it! Thanks to my mom and dad for each taking a night and day of driving my rug-rats around I can't tell you how much I appreciated it! Any I snowboarded better than I ever had....heel and toe side who knew!!!

Paige's Birthday Suprise

Nix might have enjoyed Paige's cake more than anyone!

Even the little kids loved just dance

Paige had pretty much the most amazing birthday ever....at least I think so!! I picked her up early from school, we grabbed lunch, hit the mall for a few hours where she snagged a bunch of clothes and accessories. On our way home she got her hair cut. She arrived home to SURPRISE PARTY....yea baby, I had decorated the house with balloons and streamers and invited all her peps over to surprise her. It was so much fun. When we walked up to the door and all the kids yelled surprise, so got so scared she started running away, it was pretty funny! We played just dance on the WII, everyone brought take out of their own choice and what did we eat for dessert....another ice cream cake of course! Thanks again DQ!

Sadie's Birthday extravaganza!!

I am pretty sure this glurr (who recently learned to say girl the right way) celebrated her birthday for an entire week if not longer. She had a party for playgroup where they made valentine's wreath's and decorated their own cupcakes....so yummy! They opened presents, played dogs and she pretty much thought it was the best birthday every!!! I love when they are this age...so easy to please. For her actual birthday we went out to eat and came home and ate the yummiest ice cream cake....thank you DQ for making it so easy on me. Happy 4th Birthday Sadie! We love you glurr!
