Silly

The boys were looking through some old pictures and found the ones of them from about a year ago playing in the Sharky Tent.  They wanted to reenact that day by getting out the Sharky Tent and taking more pictures.  I agreed to be the photographer :)

Not sure the baby was really thrilled about the idea though...

However, once he realized that I would be taking pictures, he started hamming it up:

Bridger doing naked-except-for-the-Captain-America-mask yoga, and Dalton showing off his goof troop teeth.

Funny boys!

Valentines

We spent all weekend trying to get Saxon to finish signing his Valentine's for his class:

Every time I would turn away for a second, he would go back to his PSP and ignore his valentines.

He started off doing a really good job:

Then he got creative:

Happy Valentine's Day!!

January Artwork

Here is some of Saxon's artwork from January:

They learned about seasons, Chinese New Year, and Groundhog Day.

Saxon sure loves his school!  He's going to miss it next year!

N-week

This week was "N-week" for Field-Trip-Fridays.

We went to a museum in Lehi to learn about "Native Americans."

The boys ground corn, read a story, felt a coyote skin, and made a teepee.

They loved it!

Afterward, we wandered around the museum for a little bit before it was time to get Saxon from preschool.

Dalton tried on all of the hats:

And Bridger did too once someone suggested that he would look like "Indiana Jones":

(This is the "Indiana Jones" hat)

Bridger discovered a bear cave and wanted to spend the whole time there.

And we all thought this potty chair was pretty cool:

Both boys posing next to the display of ancient fish:

It was such a cool museum!  There was a jail room downstairs that was used until the 1980's!  The museum was kind of a mix of relics from Utah's history, but it was really cool!  I'd never been before or heard of it, but I'm sure we will go back.  The kids loved it!

Circus

On Wednesday night, we went to the circus with Mike, and Jeff & Meg and the girls.

The boys got cotton candy:

And a ride on the elephant:

Bridger started to fall off the elephant...I was getting scared and shouting for Saxon to hang on to him.  The elephant guy didn't seem to notice:

Mike bought them tickets to get their faces painted, but Bridger didn't want to, so Dalton did instead.  So cute!

Dalton was pretty proud of his little tiger face:

I just couldn't get enough of my baby tiger:

Me and my baby:

Me and my boys:

I love this face!  It's classic Bridger...a little smirk:

And my Saxon skeleton...I tried to convince him to be something cute...a tiger...a puppy...Of course not, he wanted to be something scary.

Such a fun night!

SNOW!

It finally snowed!!!  Usually I dread the first snow...but usually it comes way sooner.  I was starting to feel bad for my boys because they have been begging to go sledding, but we haven't had any snow.  It finally snowed on Monday night, and Tuesday was a beautiful day.  We had snow, and the sun was really warm so it was still fun to play outside.  In fact, most of the snow melted by the afternoon.  My kids had a blast though!

Saxon ran right out to make snow angels:

Dalton was cheesing it up for me, and Bubby was kind of grumpy.

He's not a morning person, and any kind of rushing in the morning leads to a grumpy Bubs.

My little cheesecake:

He's soooo cute!

It was the perfect kind of snow too.  It was soft and sticky.  We made a snowman, threw snowballs with Nate's new snowball launcher, and I pulled them in the sled.

I tried to take pictures of them with me because they looked so cute in their snow gear.

Dalton and Saxon cooperated...

Bubby didn't:

Saxon and Bridger with the little snowman they built.  Bridger even put his scarf on it.  It was getting so warm that they boys started stripping of layers.  By the time we were done, the grass was covered with gloves and scarfs and hats :)

Bridger finally decided to make a snow angel, and this little dog kept trying to lick him while he did.  Then the little dog followed us home and tried to come right into our house.  I finally got it out and pushed the button to shut the garage, and the little dog ran right back in and triggered the garage to re-open.  This happened a few times before we finally convinced the little dog that it did not live here.  Much to the dismay of the boys who were begging to keep it :)

It was a fun first snow day!
