April Fool's Day

What fun day!

The kids had 'Bend the rules Day' at school on April fool's day. They got to choose from a list of rules to break and it costed them $1.00 for each rule they wanted to bend.

Carter's Choices Were:

Be the principal of the school for 5 mintes - Which costed $5.00

(perform one job of the principal and got his picture taken at her desk)

Wear Crazy hair

Chew Gum

Ashlynn's Choices Were:

Wear Pajamas

Crazy Hair

Chew Gum

Scream in the Gym

Extra 5 minutes of recess

What a neat idea to raise money for the school. They kids had a blast breaking the rules for the day.

Carter's 8th Birthday!

Another year has gone by that our sweet Carter has gotten a year older. He has turned into such a sweet young boy and we are excited for the life he has ahead of him. We all had a fun day celebrating his birthday.

Fun with visitors from Idaho

Corey, Grandma bobbi and Grandpa Fred came to visit us last weekend. We had fun few days with them. Ashlynn had to pull out every game we have and Carter as always couldn't stop pestering poor Corey. Carter just loves to bug him. I think once a year is all Corey can handle. Thanks for the visit and can't wait to see you again.

Disney on Ice

The show was fun to watch. Ashlynn loved the princesses and Carter said he liked it all. It was interesting that during the show beach balls would fall out of the stage ceiling randomly through the performances. I don't think it was part of the show. Then, when they got to the beach show only 2 balls fell out. Oops...slight malfunction. We still enjoyed it!

Fun in the snow...

We were surprised no one had thought of this place to sled. There were no trails or foot prints anywhere. We made our own trails and had the place to ourselves. We found some good hills and shared some good laughs with everyone's wipe outs. We had a great time with our neighbors!

Valentine Fun

We had a great time celebrating Valentine's Day. The kids had fun making valentines for our family in Boise and Aunt Tracy in Utah. There was kind of a postage mishap with our valentines and with G &G Peterson's treats for the kids. Our cards were in slightly larger envelopes so some recipents had to pay for extra postage once they got their card (sorry for the extra trouble). Then, Carter's valentine from G & G Peterson got returned back to Boise for more postage. Then resent and sent back for invalid postage. Then it was sent for the 3rd time and returned back to G & G Peterson opened and the valentine treat stolen out of the envelope. Grandma Frankie called and told us that it is on its way again. Crazy how you are just trying to do something special and it turns into a frustration situation.

What a great time of year to tell someone you are thinking of them!

Ice Castles

These castles were very fun to explore and look at! They are made out of sprinklers and freezing water. It was definitely cold and we walked around on chopped ice so there was no escaping the cold. We had fun time! After our exploring we ventured to a few shops around Midway and then ate dinner at the Homestead resort. It was a fun family outing. After leaving Midway Carter said that the town was very old and he wanted to go back home. He is such a funny kid...
