Happy Birthday TJ

Last Saturday was Todd's 32nd birthday so we went to Nick's (my sis' finacee) family cabin for a long weekend. It was so pretty up there and it snowed off and on the whole time. Their cabin is absolutely beautiful (it really doesn't even qulaify as a cabin with it's 3 floors, steam shower, game room & bar, loft, 5 bedrooms, ect.). We got to go on the snowmobiles (and of course, I was THAT PERSON who rolled the snowmobile...luckily Todd was on back and threw me off before it rolled on top of me), sit by the fire pit outside, watch the Olympics, dance and dance some more, and eat yummy meals. Poor Kayla got sick the first night (just like last time) so my mom and I got very little sleep, but we still had a blast. Todd got gear for his dirt bike he's getting this spring, money, a blower for all our stinkin leaves and some other fun stuff. He also got his ice cream cake that was very yummy (McKayla looooved it). Apart from almost being hit by a jackknifing semi on the way home and Kayla being sick (BTW-the reason you see binkie & bottle) the weekend was perfect :-)

This was right before I rolled (Kayla only got on for the picture)

Such a pretty view

Kayla knew right away how to kneel and hold on

Then she got tired and figured out how to lay back and enjoy the ride

Valentines and Sadie's Bday

Happy Valentines and Happy 3rd Birthday Sadie! We had a fun weekend celebrating Valentines and on Sunday we also celebrated Sadie's Bday. We always take Sadie to a little Ma & Pa dog bakery for her birthday and she picks out a bone and gets a heart shape cookie. Since the 14th was a Sunday this year, we took her to Petsmart to get the bone and then Todd and McKayla took her to the bakery Monday morning and got her cookies. She also got to play with her "cousins", Tank and Nikki, on Sunday night and she went to Tanner Park with Todd on Sunday.
On Friday McKayla made the sweetest Valentine card with Ally, Vaughn and Katie (she also made one earlier in the week with Gigi). On Sunday, Kayla and I went to church (where she proceeded to be chased by a little boy the whole time...guess he wanted her to be his Valentine) while Todd had to go into work, but when Todd got home we made our traditional choc. chip pancakes, which McKayla absolutely loved, and Todd brought me the most fabulous choc. covered strawberry. We went out later and helped McKayla deliver her Valentines to her friends and then we went to my parents house for dinner (Todd had to go back into work). McKayla got a darling balloon and treats from Paka and Gigi and she got a heart necklace and bracelet from us. Todd finally got off work for the night so we headed home and watched the Olympics until bed. I can't believe it was just last year on Valentines that Kayla tried her first solid food...man how time flies!
