Fun with Dad!

The other day we all went to the mall - a rare experience for our family! Usually just Natalie and I go when we have our "girl days" but this time we dragged the boys along with us. The kids had a lot of fun with Dan while I got some shopping done - thanks babe for helping out! :)

They loved riding the carousel at the food court - see Natalie riding her favorite animal? a cat of course!

(you can probably guess what she wished for... a cat!)

Peppermint Place

Dan recently surprised us by taking the family to this incredibly cute and fun candy store that he found one day while running. They make their own candy and chocolate treats in a nearby factory - of course this is our new favorite place to visit!

Tyler quickly understood the purpose of the shopping basket

Natalie loved all the cute lollipops they had

Can you tell Nathan is in heaven?

A great place to escape the snow!

Peppermint Place is located in American Fork, UT in case you live nearby and want to visit it. Our family highly recommends it!! :)

St. Patrick's Day 2010

Here is how we celebrated St. Patty's day this year:

Of course we all wore green!

Played in the snow outside

Sported new shamrock sunglasses

(Thanks Grandma Karen!!)

Made shamrock cookies

I love my little helpers!

(forgot to take pics of the finished cookies- they were really good!!)

Had lots of fun with the goodies sent from Grandma

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!

Banana!

I am learning how to make/record/download videos using our new Flip video camera. This is my first attempt to put a short video on our family blog. I recorded this a few months ago of Tyler trying to say "banana." Let me know if you can see this or have problems viewing it. Thanks!
