Sledding..............

 It FINALLY snowed and Tate was begging to go sledding today.  We bundled up and hit our favorite sledding hill.

 Dylan had to demonstrate many different ways you can sled down a hill.

It was a blast. Great way to celebrate President's Day and get rid of some of our "boy energy."

AND OUT CAME THE TONSILS.......

Dylan had a T&A(tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy) last Friday.  He did awesome and has recovered fast. We are so glad those tonsils are out.  He had scarlet fever twice in a period of 31 days!  The ENT told us they were moderate in size and then when he removed them he told us they were HUGE.  He received gifts as if it was Christmas and his daddy spoiled him by buying him an Nintendo DS; Mike is a "softy" with his boys. Dylan has been the best little patient ever and he never complained of pain.  He would start tormenting Tate when he was in pain and that is the way we dosed his medication (or maybe it just mellowed him and made him be nice to his brother). Anyhow, he is all recovered and we were happy we had it done.  Here is a toast to no more strep throat for him (or scarlet fever!)

THE JAZZ GAME.....

Dylan had a date night with his Daddy and they went to the Jazz game with some of their, "male friends(aka.Jeff and Jake)." They had tickets with the Junior Jazz.  They also met up with this guy (aka the Jazz Bear).

COUSINS........

Mike snapped this adorable photo at the wedding.  It speaks of each of their personalities really well. We have adorable boys and adorable nieces and nephews.  So blessed!

WHAT OUR DREAM HOUSE WOULD LOOK LIKE...

While Dylan was recovering from surgery (and was on scheduled lortab) he saw me checking out Pinterest. com. Soon we were dreaming of what our dream home would look like.  Here are a few items we loved.  Dylan is worried that we have not yet found a picture of our dream bathroom.  {perhaps tomorrow}.

The mudroom.........

Mom's little reading nook........

Dylan's dream tree house (why not).

Our front door (I need this door).

The book shelf.  Yes we do love books.  Could you imagine how many books could be stored here?

Loved this bedroom.  Check out the ceiling

These cabinets and nook would look great in the bedroom above.

Our little breakfast nook for our large kitchen.  I love this!

Our back patio (the awesome mudroom would be next to this).

We love the ivory cabinets and wood floors. 

The kitchen would have this beautiful entry way.  One of my favorite things.

Dylan fell in love with the bunk beds.  He said his cousins could stay here anytime.

I fell in love with this entry way minus the chair.  I love this color of paint and check out the front door.

                      Oh and one last thing we need to add to this kitchen is this island. Dylan said I could serve him my homemade french toast here in the mornings.  OH HOW FUN TO DREAM..........

OUR BOYS!

A night at Benihana's

We celebrated the middle of January with a fun night at Benihana's with some of our friends.

Cousin Ryker......

We just love baby Ryker.  He has been to our home a few times to stay and the boys can't get enough of him.  They are very sweet with him.

UNCLE BRENNAN AND AUNT LINDSAY.........

My baby brother is now married! We love Aunt Lindsay and we are so excited she is now in the family.  They had a beautiful sealing in the St. George Temple and then a nice reception in Cedar.

 Our little family at the wedding.  We love the St. George Temple!

 The "toothless boys" according to Tate.

Tate and Ty being boys.

                                Cousins.  (and the hand where it should not be!)
