IF YOU LIKE IT THAN YOU BETTER PUT A RING ON IT!!!!!

I think this is backwards, but that's fine. Anyone else sick of dealing with blogger and how slow it is to load???????

Anywho....we've had a fuuuunnn month! Thought I'd get it down here for some memories sakes!

Last weekend we headed to Victor with some of our very favorite people!!! Aaron+Dar, Sean+Summer and Ben+Steph. Thank you so much friends for the good times, the laughter, the fun...we love you so much!

I'm already sick of it!

Brent decided to rock the goggles the whole first day of our trip.....i dunno......

the boyz gettin their tuneage on during the last few rough miles to our destination. Everyone should have at least one chance in their life to play "name that tune" with Aaron (winky winky)

first stop of the trip all together!
HARD HAT
scones anyone? don't do it, they'll ruin your innerdsgetting ready for the first night of gamin!

3 words:

SENTENCE.PAPER.SENTENCE
you don't have to turn everything dirty!!!!

now on to better things....like Guitar Hero

the ONLY reason this picture is on here is because I love Darla......me and Aaron were jumping around the basement dancing-if you will- and this was one sweet action shot.....oh boy!

Ben's goal was to get someone to goof up from his distractions....

best picture of the trip

and Steph needed some background dancers/singers for her performance of Eye of the Tiger. Darla and I stepped up to the plate, and boy do we have sweet synchopated moves

Aaron also go into the sweet moves- although a little more daring/deadly

again, the goggles. need i say more? no.

everyone got in on the action

again with the distraction

if you hold the mic really close to your mouth and "OHHHHHH" the entire song, you will get 98%

this is the look of PURE CONCENTRATION

there was a mishap in my room=fire alarm gone awry. Luckily I have acrobats for friends and they fixed it!

on our way to breakfast. The thing was, every where we went to eat, they were out of something- I guess that makes sense when you're in a teensy weensy place like Victor, but really? No gravy, 2 sausage links and that's all???? DIBS!
Oh, but there is an extra egg in the back, would you like it Ben?

some folks took to the mountains and hit them hard on their wicked snow machinesand some people hit the pavement even harderand got beaten for bad decisionsphase 10 anyone???? this game takes FOR-EV-VERthank goodness we had carrots to keep us safe

and on to dinner that night- this great (?) mexican/laundromat in Victor....
Steph, wanna go again?

boy+youtube=hours of fun and giggles

Steph loved dinner so much that she came home and concocted this edible beauty. Just throw a little of everything in the fridge in that bowl

a bit of night time funnies. no i won't tell what's going on, and YOU KNOW WHY!!!!

sometimes people wreck on snowmobiles.and sometimes they don'twe're go'n to Jackson....
so comb your hair

we braved the cold and ventured to Jackson for a fine afternoon. Billy Burger was such a blast in the summer, that we had to take the boyz. Too bad the only entertainment was our boyz. For real- they're hilarious!

I have GOT to find me some of these boots. The picture doesn't give them justice. They're my new coveted item.

and these hats were beautiful

Meet our pooches

oh scary! the polar bear from Lost was found. and only 34,000 buckaroos....so cheap!Ben got a bit frisky with Harry

it's always good have to have a picture in front of or under the Tatonka

but better to do fancy jumps in from of the tatonka. What form!

Ben warmin up

and the grace

except, sometimes you can have a whoopsidaises while you're trying to be a great performer....how's the hip old man?

somebody had to get a picture with the arch. might as well be us

That night, Sean amazed us all with his jumping skills. Of course, after he disappeared for a minute, we thought the snowmobile had died (not because of your earlier crash, Dar). But how did we not know he'd be half naked when he came back? Thank goodness he didn't do a full monty cuz I was the only girl out there.....fewf!

the men got in touch with their feminine sides that evening. Carrot lipstick anyone? It's going to sell like mad!

2 words. Fairy. Boots.Aaron found a nice crunchy mouse in the house down the way that morning. thought he'd partake

ahhh!!! love you guys! (you too Sum, party pooper- not me!You)

while the parents were gone, these little ones partied it up at my parents. THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM, DAD, KYLI AND JESS!!!!!!!!! They had a pure blast and we love you so much!

Last weekend we celebrated Ben's big birthday with a bite at Pizza Factory, bowling, and cold stone. could the night have been any sweeter!?

brent, ben, sean, lance, katie, sum, steph, yours truly

it's SO embarrassing when people sing to you at restaurants. Can you feel the heat????

then bowling fun

sing it with me- you are my sunshine! my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, you never know dear how much i love you, please don't take my sunshine away!

trying to get the spin down. nice try. A for effort

figuring out the best way to ride that bad alley

oh! what fun!

Steph takes her marshmallow ice cream VERY serious!

I retired from bunco this month. So sad. but after 5 years, i figured it was time.
Here's Tiffy and I sharing a love!

Did you get that?
No, your eyes are not deceiving you.
I got 15 bunco's this night.
That's a world record.
Dont'cha know???!!!!

for all the non-believers.

wooo-hooooooooo!!!

And we had an awesome lunch. With even more awesome conversation
with such fantastic friends!

Sabra, Wendy, Lindy, Me

Sum, Em, and Amber

Dar, Jess, man of the hour- Mr. Greyson, and Em

just some randoms......Conli has moustache mouth most of her life.

love this one.

My little boy finally had to get a scratch test and for REALS, is allergic to what we've thought all along. Poor little thing- his lil back hurted him. He started telling the nurse "don't touch me" when she'd come in the room.....

Conli asked me to do hers like mine when she got out of the tubby this day.....it held up for a minute

COUSIN FUN

We had an oversleep with Xander and it rocked the house! We watched movies, made a tent, introduced him to Dance Dance (max's all time favorite game- High School Musical Style of course)

We got to go to Brynn's awesome birthday party!

where Max decapitated Mr. Pinata

and Conli conviced Bubba that the noise of hitting the pinata was too much to handle

Max has gone through our calendar and designated one day in each month for the next year as "blanket day". What does that entail you ask? Why, you spread blankets over every inch of the house...i think that's it. Oh, and you get to eat and walk on them. It's a joyful time for everyone!

Mary's Birthday Par-tay!!!

Sometimes people want icee's, so their friends buy them one and then they are
content with all things Classic

"Berfday Crew"

Lori, Me, Mary, Heather and Janet

if i look plumb frightened in every "action shot" it's cuz i was- of falling over the 4200 other children there that night. i did have one run in with a little one, and she ended up scooped up right on to my lap.....

scared? nah! just a bit off balance! Sherman had never ever in his whole life roller skated before....props for giving it a go!

Mary, Me, Heather---whilst still skating, we got this dandy photo. I think it's entitled
"BIGGEST SMILES PLEASE"


wowsers, we made it. all the way down here! January was a blast. Thank you friends and family! Much love to all.
