January Pictures...

As if december is not expensive enough, january has 500 birthdays...  

So here is Joseph opening Legos from my parents.  For his birthday he also go a girft card to build a bear workshop, he had a friend stay over and they watched a movie and we went out for pizza, and he also wanted to go see a movie, so we did that too.  His b-day was Jan 9 and he turned 11.  

The 14th is my good friend Zaneta's

Then Ashley's was January 16th.  I gave her the day off (she just studied and went to school - boring)  I took her kids and "my" kids to the Draper Temple Open House.  I remembered my camera case, but left the camera at home.  GO ME!  :)   Then we had a nice lunch at costco.  I love how you can feed 6 people, including ice cream for dessert, for only $9.50.  woohooo!  :)

Tomorrow is my little midget brothers.

Washington's is January 28th.

last is Ariel's on the 31st.  She will be 8 this year, so anyone in UT, come for her baptism (not that you know her, but for me.  It will be 28 Feb, I don't know what time yet...)

Also, here are pictures of the deadly icicles, and the snow after a few days of it melting.  

I thought i had pictures of Ariel making cupcakes - with the party set she got for Christmas, but it looks like they got erased...  i'll look for them another day.

hope all is well everywhere.

Dec 28-31 - Washington's cousin came to stay with him.  We took him to provo and mt timp temples, a few trips to costco, the mall.  not too much since there was snow everywhere.  i hate this stuff already!
