What have we been up to?

We have been up to a whole lot of nothing! We have been busy but with what, I don't know? It has been cold and is trying to finally warm up. The girls have been enjoying swimming lessons, cheer leading and tumbling at Golds Gym. This has made the winter more bearable. The girls are sick right now with a horrible hacking cough that has kept us all from sleeping for about 5 days. We took them to the doctor today and Mallory has an ear infection and Sydney has a sinus infection.
It is spring break and we are staying inside and not having friends over. It is lame but we are going to have a big trip the end of April. We are going to Arizona for my sister Vanessa's wedding to Nolan Hatch. We are also going to Disneyland on the way. We will miss Vanny in Idaho but are happy for her! We saw my Dad in Boise when Vanessa went through the temple. Mallory malled Grandpa Jones at church and Sydney showed him loves too! We went to Chuck E. Cheese's that weekend my kids favorite.
We have seen alot of the Hurds and we love it! Scott our Brother-inlaw has been living with us and working in Twin Falls. They are looking for a place to live here after their new baby is born! I'm so excited to have Rachelle close. It has been basically a boy party in the basement the past month. They play Call of Duty, church basketball and go to Tuesday 25cent wings.
Our ward boundaries changed and we lost some good friends. Zach is in the Elders Quorum presidency and I was put back into Young Womens. We love our ward and were glad not too much changed.
I had this past weekend off which is a major treat. Our friend watched the girls and we went to Jackpot with friends and had the buffet and played. Saturday we took the girls to Alice in Wonderland 3D and the girls were entranced by it. Then the girls went to Grandma K's hotel and swam and had happy meals. We went to the Melting Pot(Fondue) for Rachelle's birthday and ate for 3 hrs. Crazy! Life is good and we are happy! Here are a few random pictures from the past months.

Me and Mal made a snowman!

We love Tenley and can't wait to see her more!

Halloween 2009

Zach has wanted to be an Oompa-Loompa since last year. I am still not convinced it was what I wanted to be. I tried to make it at least a little more girly. We had a fun adult dance party on Thursday. Friday we went and saw the Kelsey Cousins and had pizza and a ward party. I was in charge of the fish pond. We won the best family costumes. Saturday we drove to Boise and went to Breakfast with family and friends and then the boys went to the BSU game. Rachelle and I made gourmet caramel apples and then we went trunk or treating with Hawkley's and Trick or Treating. It was a drawn out long Halloween but the girls loved it!
