latest family pics

Well, these aren't super great but we've decided that will never happen with 4 kids so we just take what we can get.

"Ok kids, I'm just gonna take a few pictures really quick so look nice, ok?" This is what I get to look at and laugh at every day...jealous? You can't really tell but Mia's wrists are pretty much backwards. I don't know what she's doing but it scares me!

"NO! Seriously..can't you just smile? Jake, get your finger outta your nose! Luke, quit saying "cheese" like the guy from Wallace & Grommit - it's getting annoying! Mia, you're gonna drop him..look out!!"

"Finally! Good thing we have a digital camera and can go through the 25 pics I just took to find 1 semi-decent one. 'K kids go tell Dad it's his turn to join us."

That's Luke's version of "Blue Steel" from Zoolander. He looks pretty good, I think!

February in St George = HEAVEN ON EARTH

We decided to escape the awful gloom and snow and have a mini vacay down South. We got there just in time to share some birthday cake with Sayde Kay (I can't believe she's a teen!). The red rocks were so lovely and it was so warm we wished we had brought the shorts and flip-flops. I love the Lee's location...the cliffs behind there house are so fun to explore. These pics are crappy because I took them with my phone but this is our favorite hike to "Cave Town". St George, I love you.

Mini "Hole in the Rock"

I did not in any way tell the kids to pose like this...they just did when I counted to three...what NERDS! It reminded me of Rocky at the top of those stairs.

I love premade fondant!

So here's the next cake adventure Britt and I embarked upon. Cecilee requested a bday cake for her husband's surprise party and we were more than excited to try! I think it turned out pretty good for our first 2 level cake. We spent way more on the tools and supplies but we look forward to making more in the future.

LUUUUUKE - - - I AM YOUR FFFAAAATTHHHEERR

No surprise--Luke wanted a Star Wars party but that was too expensive so we went with a Space party with a couple of fun Star Wars thingys thrown in. My BFF Brittany helped me create this Solar System that was TOTALLY EDIBLE! We just let each kid pick a "planet" they wanted to eat and I fell in love with Fondant. So fun! Happy 5th, Lukie!!
