Kennedy's 10th Birthday Murder Mystery Party

Where do I even start? It was a hard age since it's kind of tween age. So we looked and searched and she finally decided that she wanted a Murder Mystery Party. It was so much fun, 22 kids came and it was a late night and they did it all in the dark. After a few tears shed, I think a couple were a little spooked...sorry. Cole and I decked out the house with police lines and crime scene things. Who would have thought all that CSI watching would come in handy? I made cake balls and the kids LOVED them. I did try one little bite and they were quite delicious if I do say so myself. Her invitation was adorable with the help of Shelece..Thanks a lot. They all got a notepad and a flashlight to take home, and lots of fun memories. Riley ended up being the murderer and Kennedy was the ghost. A BIG thank you to Ali and Wade for taking Paisley for the night too. She got a cute baby and a stuffed dog that she just loves. Most of the pics were takin in the dark but you can't tell so we don't have a lot of posed pics. We didn't even sing her Happy Birthday because we were running out of time. Lots of laughs!

Easter 2010

It was worse than Christmas....really. Kennedy woke up and came in at 1:30 in the morning after having to walk upstairs passing lots of eggs in the process. I told her that she had to go back to sleep until the morning to find the eggs and after watching a couple of cartoons and her breathing with one nostril plugged, I really thought I might lose it at 3:00 in the morning. What in the heck did she think the Easter Bunny was going to bring her that was so important? I told her to go back to her own bed and off to sleep for mom. Just a few short hours later, Kennedy reappears with Berklee both begging to go down like Christmas morning. Cole and I dragged ourselves out of bed with our best happy faces, and that coffee couldn't get poured into our cups fast enough that morning. The girls had lots of fun finding eggs and their baskets. The Easter bunny left these clues and the baskets ended up being in the dishwasher. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Roberts house for dinner that afternoon and it was good to see "the old grandma". Cole's Grandma came for dinner too and my kids had not seen her for a while and she finally got to meet Paisley. They had their annual Easter egg hunt for the kids and got lots of money! Thanks to you guys, your the best and I appreciate the traditions, our children will always remember these times. We ended our break with our friends from California coming to town and we had lunch and then went and played Laser tag and ended the day with a B-B-Q...in the snow! Who would have thought... spring break Utah Style?

Spring Break or was it Winter?

Give a shout out!!! It was spring break for everyone at this house. We were waiting to see if the weather would cooperate to really decide if we were leaving SLC and the whole state looked pretty gray. So we thought that we would get a hotel room downtown since that was my kids favorite part of our Disneyland trip was putting the "key" in the door. Then we remembered it was conference weekend so that was out too! So we decided to have a stay-cation all in the comfort of our own beds. Thurs. we went to see "How to train your dragon" with Robin and Hunter. What a good time that was....with a almost 2 year old in tow!! HORRIBLE! I swore I wouldn't go back until she was four. She spilled my brand new, full, Ice cold Diet coke all over the floor and I swear I could hear it pouring down the stadium seating. Then continued to flail herself on the ground trying to get to the other kids. We decided to start over on Friday and Cole took the day off and we went to Gateway, for shopping, lunch, and the Children's Museum. We had so much fun spending Dad's money on fun and clothes. That night was Taylir's 18th Birthday party at Justin's house and that good too. I can't believe she is 18 already. Saturday morning was up early for the kids to do an Easter Egg Hunt at the park and they got some cool stuff. Can't believe it gets over so fast we were driving back in our neighborhood 11 minutes after it all started. Later that day we dyed Easter Eggs with Hunter and I got a Pilate's machine from my sweetest husband so we spend the rest of the day playing with it.
