We went to Promontory to take some 4-wheeler out last Sunday, and rode around for a while and shot guns at stuff. Blake loves going out there, he gets so excited. I have to admit it was kinda fun shooting. I set up some pop cans for Griff and Blake to shoot at and Blake said he wanted to be on level one. Griff said, "What do you mean level one?" and he said, "Ya know, easy." He may have a little video game problem.

The Leprechaun left pots of gold for the boys again!

They are so lucky!

Blake's birthday was on March 3. I can't believe he is 7. On Monday the 2nd,

we had family over for cake and ice cream and a few presents. We went to

"cake lady's house" in Tremonton and he picked out a Pokemon character for his cake.

Brittni and Casey gave him a huge coloring book and crayons, Ashley gave him $10, my mom and dad gave him money in a sweet envelope that he loved, and Ben's parents gave him a DS game. Afterwards, Griff, Blake and my brothers played Guitar Hero and Kung Fu Panda.

On his actual birthday, he picked pancakes, waffles, sausage "the pig kind, not the flat kind" (meaning links, not patties), and scrambled eggs with ketchup. He opened some more presents. Books, a shotgun that smokes, a DS case and game, and a movie.

The next day he had a party at McDonald's with all of his buddies.

Is 7 too old to suck your thumb?

A few days ago me and the boys went to Promentory to

bust out the Artic Cat El Tigre and do a little sledding.

I give you........

JORDON!

He's so hot right now!

Whenever we go somewhere and take a lunch Griff and Blake always want to get big sandwiches from Wal Mart, drinks, Cheetos, and treats. I think it's so funny how that is sometimes the highlight of the day. Griff and I came back before everyone else and he was starving. He decided to just eat and the cleanest spot was the bed of this truck. When everyone else got back they were all "let's go in the house". Now, I never would have went in there to eat. I was under the assumption that that place was condemned. When we got in there, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a pretty sweet set-up. Since I was there last, a TV, heater and Dish Network have been added. I have to admit, it was pretty cozy.

This year Blake picked Kung Fu Panda Valentines and Griff picked Hannah Montana. He says he did it to be funny, but I think the picture tells the real story.


Griffen also made this ultra Valentiney Valentine box.

On Valentine's Day Ben, Griff and Blake gave me roses, and we had a romantic Valentine dinner. Heart shaped pizza, bread sticks, salad with "special" ranch and Mountain Dew. After we went to Brittni and Casey's house for Cold Stone ice cream cake and watched Star Wars.

I am so glad I'm a girl and never

have the urge to do this.......

The Wizard is running out of teeth.

Blake has requested that he be called "The Wizard". His exact words were, "Mom, do you think you guys could start calling me The Wizard since I am so good at video games?" And I was all, "Sure". So from now until he changes his mind, that is what we call him.

Saturday was another basketball filled day. Griff had games in Ogden, starting at 8:15. They won 2 and lost 2. The Wizard had a game, and they won. He also had a birthday party. Later that night Ben took me out for Sushi, and as always it was delish! After we went to Cold Stone. My new fave is Strawberry Blond with cheesecake ice cream.

Griff and Blake had games again today. I couldn't make Blake's , but Ben and Griffen said he did really well. Griff was totally into his game. He scored 10, made a kid cry, and fouled out.

Blake was looking in the mirror brushing his teeth and says:

"AUUGGHHHHRRRAAA! I don't want to go to school!"
moi: "Why?"
Blake: "Because my face!"
moi: "What's wrong with your face, it's adorable!"
Blake: "Well, not anymore! I got a scratch on it!"

Griff left with a binder full of paper, and I said, "What are you doing with that?" he said, "I'm working on a book that I'm hoping to get published." Allllllrighty-then!

DDR

I didn't get to the gym today so me and the boys decided to pull out the dance pads. I forgot how much I heart that game. Griff tries to master one song at a time, and he gets pretty good after a few tries. Blake, well he tries his best. I am (no suprise) still the MASTA!

Blake "scored a hoop" and this is

his smile for when he does that:

He is so happy and proud of himself

that he can hardly stand it!

This is the face Griff makes when

he scores a basket. Not a hint of a smile,

cuz he's too cool for school!

Griff's Game

Here are some pics from Griffen's game a couple weeks ago.

My camera was taking them dark for some reason. grrrr.

Blake's Second Ever Basketball Game

Blake had his 2nd game of the season. The little boys are fun to watch. They almost never dribble, or they stop, dribble, run, stop, dribble, run. Blake's team is pretty good and they have won both games so far. Griff had 4 games today. I couldn't make it to the first 3, but Ben said he did really well. The last game of the day I thought he would be way tired, but he rocked it! (I forgot my camera, but I'm sure there will be other games) Once they are bigger and get the dynamics of the game, it makes it more tolerable. (for me) Griff is also getting more aggressive, and it's funny to watch those older boys trash talk each other and get all mad. grrrrrrrr.

Blake lost another tooth at school. I think this is supposed

to be a necklace, but he thinks it's much more

awesomer as a headband cuz it gives him the power.
