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!

Craving Spring

Just when I thought winter was coming to a close here (the sun was out and melting the snow) we had the joy of more SNOW! Now don't get me wrong, I don't hate the snow just yet, but I am looking forward to warmer days that we can be outside. I know I should be thankful for the mild winter we're having this year.... but I am a Texan and in my opinion winter should already be over!

We have had a cold going through our house that just keeps getting passed back and forth - so I am way behind on blogging (as well as cleaning, cooking, etc.). Which also means I haven't been taking pictures because who wants to see us puffy-eyed, red-nosed, with snot everywhere?? Only you, Mom! :) Now that we're getting over it I promise I'll try to get some cute pics of the kids posted soon. But in the meantime here's some pics from last month...

Natalie as "Tinker Bell"

Natalie & Nathan - Best friends!


Nathan hamming it up for the camera

My two boys!


Nathan took this pic of Tyler & me (he even brought us the bunny ears and told us to put them on so he could take our picture!)


Tyler found Nathan's hat
"Cheese!" He loves to climb into Natalie's dollbed
Who can resist such sweetness???

PS - after I posted these pics I was looking through them and realized that Tyler is wearing the same shirt in every pic! I must clarify: first, all of those pics were taken on different days, and second, I promise my child has more than one shirt!
