Valentines

We went to the St. George Parade of Homes with Kate and really enjoyed a getaway. Thanks to Amy and my friend Alison for watching Grace. We saw a few 3 million dollar homes which were amazing. (They should be!) Kate was a good girl and slept well at the hotel to our relief.
Chad did a great job with the flowers this year. The purple with red really stood out.

POTTY TRAINED!!!

I'm sticking to the slogan "It's never too late", because I've posted about 6 months worth of stuff today. It feels GOOD!
I am pleased to announce that GRACE is potty trained! She finally showed interest again and I jumped on it. We used a sticker chart with rewards like McDonalds and Chucky Cheese. She was really motivated, but didn't understand that if she just went pee, she couldn't go right back to the toilet and go pee again to get another sticker. Roman got interested because of Grace and he's amazing. He woke up from a nap to go pee, then went right back to bed, and he wakes up at night. WOW. With boys and girls going pee there was a little confusion at first.

Emma turns 5!

Emma is Cinderella. She is such a sweet girl and a wonderful example to Grace.

Amy and Justin did a hilarious puppet show

New Years in Idaho

We stayed a night at Cheri's. All the kids made sugar cookies and luckily they were more interested in decorating them than eating them. mmmm

We loved going up to Idaho to celebrate New Years. All the cousins and adults partied.

Xmas at Home

This Christmas we stayed home for the first time and it was great. We had Bonnie and my sister Beth stay. Amy and Justin came over Christmas Eve and spent the night. Amy had the kids dress up and act out the birth story. Very Cute.
