A Trax Ride

Jack and Abigail are into trains. They LOVE watching Thomas, Polar Express and playing with Jack's train set. So we decided that we needed to get out of the house and go for a ride on Trax. Since they were doing the 10 year anniversary of the Olynpics coming to Salt Lake they were doing activities down at Gateway and that is where we decided to head.

The kids really enjoyed riding the train. It was fun heading down as a family and taking in the festivities.

Jack 33 Months

Jack,

You are busy each and every day. You love to pretend that you are a dog and run around on all fours and huff and puff. You love jumping on top of your two furry friends Hally and Daisy, which they will then get up and leave once they are done.

You LOVE to watch Curious George and you would watch it all day if you could. You LOVE your trains and get up set when Abi comes and destroys your tracks. You LOVE to read and we have been helping you repeat word from books. You LOVE watching movies in Mama's room and you especially love laying on YOUR red pillow in Mama's room.

You love playing flying pillows and superman and you will pretend that you are Buzz Lightyear.

Currently when you are upset you will reply to yourself in the third person such as, Don't pull Jack's hair in Jack's room or Don't push Jack. You are also blaming everything on your sister, for example you had opened the fridge and was just staring at what was inside, when Daddy told you that you don't leave the fridge open and you then replied, Abi openend it, when in fact Abigail was not even by the fridge.

Your dad and I get such a kick out of you and your sister for when you both are playing, laughing and having a great time. I know that you will be a great big brother to your sister and I commend you for having to put up with her.

Abigail 25 Months

Abigail,

You are getting taller by the day. You currently love to do flying pillows, super man and hang from the bars on our bed. You LOVE to watch Tangled, Super Why, Word Word - which if you could watch them all day you would. You currently love to play with barbies and when Jack is in his room playing with his trains you then love to go and play with the trains too.

With the movies or shows you are like your mom and dad where you tend to repeat and recall movie lines. Just the other day you ran up to your dad and said "Hey How ya doin, names Flynn Rider."

Your dad and I currently love to watch a show called Psych and when ever the show is done and its playing the credits no matter what you are doing you will drop it and come and dance in front of the tv to the music from the show. You will also start to sing along with the words. You LOVE to read and will have your dad read to you 10 times through out the day. You make us so proud. You claim that you are not ready to be potty trained and ususally fight me when I change your diaper. You love being rocked to sleep for your nap or bedtime and HAVE to have Buzz Lightyear in your crib to protect you.

Happy Valentines!

Although Valentines is kind of a rub in the single peoples faces that they are alone, this Valentines Day was great.

Jeremy and I celebrated valentines the saturday before. Grandma Joyce was kind enough towatch the munchins while we headed to the District and had Linner (a late Lunch at Sizzler, love a good salad bar) then we went and saw Safe House with Denzel Washington and Ryan Renolds - it was really good.

For the actual Valentines Day Jeremy and the kids surprised me at work, bringing me flowers and two frogs on a heart that when you push a button they make a kissing sound and then say "I Love You." We then we to lunch at Chick Fil A so that the kids could play a little bit.

The Kids and I got Jeremy Breaking Dawn (which he LOVES) j/k, and some Lindor Chocolates and a card.

Then as the kids and I were down stairs working out, Grandma Vicky came over with some Valentines Day cookies. Thanks again Mom they were delicious!

Overall it was a really nice Valentines Day. Happy Valentines Day to all Single or Coupled and I hope your day was filled with love.

Super Bowl XLVI

Each year we have, although not intentionally, held a super bowl party at our house. Its always fun for Jeremy and I because we are able to make food and entertain. This year we just had family over and had an awesome spread. We decided to do mexican and make Home Made Cafe Rio Salads. YUM!

We had Cowboy Caviar, Chips, Relish Tray, Guacamole, Drinks and more Drinks. It was a lot of fun.

In the end we were really happy the Giants won, mainly due to the 49ers not making it. But we will see for next year!
