It's technically not Paul's Birthday yet! But, I had a suprise birthday party for him the week before. The theme was Fiesta!! It was very fun and went great! It was a little chaotic getting it all done in time and I was still decorating after guests arrived. Whoops! The only other problem was about 10-15 mintues after the guest of honor arrived, the weather decided to get crazy and we had to move inside. Here are some pictures of the grand event!
We gave Thatcher a cut yesterday morning before church. Crazy! We cut off so much hair, we could have almost been candidates for locks of love. I think he looks handsome, of course he's mine! But I must admit I am pretty sad about it too. I miss his hair and I think it makes him look older! Not good!

That's what Thatcher would tell you! He has had a lot of fun this winter playing in the snow! Here are some pics of sledding with Papa and Nani and Snowmachining with Bomp and Daddy! We just spent last weekend in Island Park with Bomp and Gram. It was really great! We huddled up around the fire while we watched the goregeous snow fall outside. We spent time playing games, watching movies, snowmobiling, and just enjoying each other's company! Thatcher spent most of his time sitting out on the deck watching the snowmachines race by. He did this for hours! It was amazing to finally have a break and just hang out together! (Thanks to Jared Hobbs and his grandmother for allowing us to stay at her cabin in Island Park Village!)
Farewell Winter and Hello Spring!!! My Daffodils have already blossomed! Hooray!!
...well depending on who you ask, Thatcher, or his daddy!? Thatcher did some serious painting of our bedroom with a brand new tub of Aquafor. For those who are unfamiliar with this substance, it's an expensive form of petroleum jelly that I purchased just for me and my super dry hands. At work I wash my hands all day long and they are so cracked and sore; so I had just purchased this great new product. It was working very nicely, I might add, until... Thatcher emptied the entire thing, spreading it all over our bed, our room, his clothes and his hair. As you might expect, this stuff does not come out or off of anything, especially hair!! Thatcher was a permanant grease bomb for over a week, despite trying several google search result remedies. These did, however, work pretty well on my quilts and bedding. Thanks Paul for the many hours of research and disgusting clean up, all while I was at work! Thank goodness!! :)
Once again, late on the posting. But Valentine's Breakfast was a must share! Our heart shaped festiveness was oh so delicious!
We spent Christmas in Phoenix this year with the Morris Covey! We had a great time and Santa Claus found us even without snow! Thatcher must have been a good boy because he got exactly what he asked for, a green motorcycle. Wow!!
...that unfortunately or fortunately, I'm not sure which, never made it in the mail. Maybe next year we'll find time for cards?
A little late as usual. I never have much time to myself. But I couldn't resist sharing some of the happenings of our Halloween festivities! We started out at the pumpkin patch picking out the perfect pumpkin!
Next we went to Gardner Village with Gram, Bomp, and the Johnsons. We celebrated Ann Marie's birthday and experienced "Ride to a Witch." It was a lot of fun. Thatcher painted witchy toenails, made witch's brew, and poisoned apples!
We finished up with a great time at Gram & Bomp's house. Kricket, Tom, Annie, Max, Gram, Bomp, Stephen & Cari all helped us celebrate this spooky night! We went trick-or-treating and could not have asked for better weather. It was beautiful! We didn't even wear jackets! That does NOT happen in the Burg'. Then we went back to the house and had a very spooky and delicious feast! Thanks everyone!
