Outside for awhile :)

 On Saturday the stars aligned an it was a pretty nice afternoon.  So we headed out to let the kids get some fresh air and a good bike ride.  *** Note- my camera actually words outside just not inside and it is annoying!***  These are a few good pictures I took while we enjoyed the winter warm afternoon sun.
 Sweet jumps from Isaac.
 Jake riding like a champion.
 Sweet jumps from Max and awesome facials to go along with it.
 Justin and Lexie.




 Lexie had to bring out her babies and her sippy cups for the babies to hold in her shopping cart.


 Then we went for a walk and she had to bring her babies along with her.  It was really adorable :)

  What a nice afternoon we had :)

Lexie's first haircut :)

 The other day I was cutting all of the boys hair and when I got done Lexie really wanted a turn.  I hadn't planned on cutting her hair at all but I think it was actually a good idea. 
 Longer than I thought!  I just trimmed up the back so it was the same length and fixed some bad hairs on top.  I honestly  have no business cutting girl hair but I figured really at this point how bad can I screw it up there really isn't much there yet...



 She held so still and was such a good girl!  It made the back a bit curlier when I cut all the yucky ends off and it is so cute!  Still short but cute!

Fish, fish and more fish....

 Max was dying to have a fish tank for Christmas and santa didn't deliver one.....  but he got some money for christmas and bought one for himself.  He is thrilled!  His love for fish started last year on his birthday when grandma marla and grandpa kirk took him fishing and bought him a tank and a fish.  We did our best but couldn't keep those fish alive... we hope that buying a filter will help keep our fish alive longer.  Only time will tell....
 Pretty cool tank.. he picked all the accessories himself.

 We now have 7 fish and he is really excited about it.  Although if we are being honest I don't know who likes it more Max...... or Justin???



It has been fun for Max to have this tank in his room :)

Max Basketball

 Max is basketball twice a week as well.  He is playing great and having a lot of fun.  He isn't quite as intense with it as Isaac but his smile is contagious!  He loves to play though :)  Notice Isaac in the background he is running for the job of assistant coach!
Yet again.... not great pictures..... come see a game!

Basketball for Isaac

 We are in full swing with basketball season now.  Isaac is loving every minute of it and he is playing awesome!

I will be trying to get a good picture all season I am afraid...  my old "new" camera is trying to bite the dust... not a good day at my house :(  But you are welcome to come see a game Isaac is doing great!

Boise Trip

 A couple of weekends ago we decided to head over to Boise to visit for the weekend.  It was a lot of fun!  We stayed at a hotel the first night - kids love staying at hotels and I guess I can understand cuz it is always so fun if there is an indoor pool.  They love going to get the ice bucket filled and seeing what is available at the continental breakfast and it is just fun.  I remember being the same way when I was young and I guess I am still young cuz it is still fun to do!
 The pictures are only so so because I took them all on my phone.  But they are fun anyways.  Below is a picture of Jake and LExie loving the pool towels.  They fit those little kiddos perfect.... so you can just imagine how well they worked for Justin and I!






 Lexie loving the pool.  All of my kids love to swim and it is great! 




 I love this picture of Isaac and Lexie.  They were just laying on the bed watching tv and Lexie fell asleep cuddling up with Isaac.  Love love cuddling kids!
 The next couple of pictures are of Lexie getting ready to sleep or sleeping.  She loves to have her binkie and a baby.  Any baby will do she isn't picky!

 Saturday we spent the day at Kip and Jessica's house just hanging out and visiting and letting kids play.  It was a nice time.  Jason came and brought 2 of his kids and Jarod came to visit as well.  Isaac was thrilled to have Kip come out and play hockey with him for a few minutes..  made his day :)


Saturday night Kip and Jessica had stuff to do so we took their 3 girls and our kids and went to the Idaho Stampede basketball game.  Kip got us awesome tickets courtside at a table.  So we filled the table with snacks and had a lot of fun.  Sadly Jake and Lexie just couldn't make the 4th quarter so we headed back.  We had a great time!
