Happy 39th

It was a pretty low key birthday.  All the snow we got this week was calling Davis's name up at Snow Basin.  He just couldn't say no, and I knew he wanted to go skiing really bad, so I said go and have a great time. 
 Owen and Gator went grocery shopping with me, but we stopped for lunch at Zaxby's first. 
 Gator gave me this picture, and I got some fun snap chats from Owen, Davis, and Gator. 
Davis was gone all day, and Owen wanted to go to a fireside in the evening so he missed out on the facial masks we did.  Gator loves doing "spa" nights.  I played the guilt trip card on Davis because he had been skiing all day long on my birthday, so he joined us in the experience. 
I did finally get what I wanted for my birthday though, and because of the couple hours spent eating Chinese food and watching a sappy Valentines love story with my favorite people, it ended up being the perfect birthday.

Behind in 2017

Good thing January is a pretty slow month, because I sure haven't been writing in my journal.  Well, not slow as in us not being busy, just slow in the "fun" department.  We've sure been busy with basketball and soccer.  And the gym time is fun, I love supporting my kids in all they do.  I am so grateful they are healthy and strong, and can participate on their teams, I'm just in some serious need of a day of no work and no sports and just us playing.  It will come, we will break free of the gym and get some fun quality time. 
Davis had a fun weekend last week.  We had a 4 day weekend and he was invited up to Sun Valley to ski.  He went with Dave & Sheila, and Ryan, Christine, and their family.  At the end of  3 days he was ready to make the move up to Sun Valley, but I'm happy to say he did come home. 
I was hoping that with the New Year, our trials would be a thing of the past, but nope.  I had a small car fire on my way to work.  Everything seems to be working fine, and I don't have the means to get the car in and looked at/fixed, so I'm going on a prayer that there isn't a big problem lurking underneath this small hole left behind. 
It has been a very snowy month.  Yesterday I told Gator we could go sledding.  We had some games, and errands and laundry, but finally we were able to go sledding.  We had such a fun time riding down the hill in the dark while it was snowing, we laughed the whole time. 
Owen sent me this funny picture the other day.  He said it just happened they were all sitting there, so they decided to pose and asked someone to take a picture.  The kid knows me so well. 
We didn't go anywhere, but we still had a funny time playing this game called Watch Ya Mouth.  I lost bad, I just couldn't stop laughing.

2017 brings more snow!

Last day of Christmas break and we got lots more snow and had no plans.  It was a perfect day for sledding.  Our friend invited us over to his house to sled with the 4 wheeler, and after they used all the snow in their yard, they brought the party to our yard.
