February

This month has been crazy busy for us. Jason and Collins birthdays were on the seventh. I had finals due on the ninth, and then Jasons family came out on the tenth. I wish i could say that that is it but it's not. I wont go into detail though.

Anyway, Ill start with the birthday party for Collin. He decided that he would like a superhero party. It was all centered around any superhero i could find to decorate with. Which is harder than you think. Most of it is just superman. On to the point, we had the kids decorate capes and then they played pin the "S" on superman. Next, we went out back and they learned how to shoot spider webs like spiderman. We bought some silly string for them to use. They were shooting the villains from spiderman and then, somehow, they ended up shooting Jason with the silly string instead. He deserved it. :) Next, we went to batmans cave (a soccer goal) and they kicked the bad guys out. It was a really fun party. When it was over we were glad everything was still standing. Ten, five year old boys can be a little hectic.

Chasing Jason

Joseph didn't want to kick them he wanted to shoot the villains, he said it would work better :)

Boys have their egos from such a young age, they wanted to see who was the fastest hero

Collins good friends from school; Angelo and Wesley

For Jason, I took him out to dinner and then we did some shopping. He wanted work out equipment, it was harder than you think to find decent equipment. We did and he has not found time to use it yet. I said we were busy.
I also think that we are a little boring. I don't know what it is but when you have kids their birthdays are always so much more exciting!


When the Renfros came out we went out and celebrated all of the February birthday, and had some cheese cake. The birthdays we celebrated were: Stephanies on the fifth, Jason and Collins on the seventh, Kevins on the twelfth, and mine on the twenty third. That is not all the birthdays we have in February just the ones that were out in NM. Oh, and Kevin is on his Mission but we still blew his candle out. :) We missed ya Kev.

We each blew out our own candle

We had a lot of fun visiting with the Renfros, it is always nice to see family. Its even better when they come out here. Thanks for coming and everything else you did for us. We are trying to talk them in to coming back in Oct. for the balloon festival. We'll see.

Aunt Steph is so nice to sit and watch Collin play with his hot wheels

Maddie loves to climb

On a totally random note, Maddie got in here first fight. With the ground. And lost. Poor thing has to sport this nasty scrape for a couple of days.
