The Muppet Show

I just checked out the first season of The Muppet Show from the library and my kids can't get enough. I've seen "Mahnahmahnah" about 50 times today alone!! The one with Beaker singing "Feelings" is one of my all time favorites. Why don't they make good family shows like this any more?!

Snow trip

It's great to have the mountains so close. We don't have to deal with the snow here in town, but if we want to go play in it, it's just a quick drive away. The kids loved it and Ethan would still be sledding if he let him. We took the youth of our ward up for the day. It was a great activity!



Yes, I put a purple snow suit on my son! I needed something to use as leverage against him when he gets older.




The snow was so deep, Gwen and I kept sinking down to our knees, and our waist in some places.



One of the boys was eating snow and showed Gwen what snow was okay to eat. She kept getting stuck truing to find "the best" snow.



I thought this spot was cool. You wouldn't believe what we went through to get to it.



Just another cute picture of Ethan.

Bike race

We were lucky enough to have the Tour of California bike race end Stage four here in Clovis. It was a beautiful day and we got to see some pretty great athletes like Lance Armstrong. It's amazing how fast they go on a bike! We were at the finish line and they were all riding together. When they passed us it felt like a semi-truck going by it got so windy! Gwen still talks about how the riders made her hair fly up.
We didn't get any good pictures, but here's what we got.

Gwen's Five!!!

Gwen turned five this month and had her first real birthday party. It was great! I can't believe how big she is getting. She thought she was going to kindergarten the day after her birthday. I had to explain to her she had to finish out the school year in her preschool class first. She was NOT happy!



Here she is playing in her room with Madisyn and Elly after opening all the gifts.



Elly just moved into our ward and she and Gwen get into plenty of trouble in primary with each other. Gwen has NEVER had a girl her age in our ward. The primary leaders always use to tell me how good Gwen was. Now they're bringing her to me because she won't stop talking! (Poor Elly)



Jacob and Gwen have been friends their whole lives (I think) and get into plenty of trouble of their own.
