Sunday dinner

Kasey made dutch oven potatoes. Emily made corn/peas combo (which I had never thought of doing before!). I cooked a ham and made a pumpkin cookie truffle. It was all yummy for a Sunday dinner! Here's a few pics of the afternoon:

 

 

 

Dancesport March 2011

Joel was great at Dancesport! He came in 3rd in the rumba and top 13 in the tango. He loves to dance and it certainly shows! Here's some pics and videos from the day!

 

 

 

Here is Joel dancing the rumba! You can see Joel's last semester partner during some of the video (she was the woman that was 45 years old). She and her partner came in 4th. The other couple you see at the start of the video came in 6th.

This is the tango. Not sure what place he came in. Somewhere from 7 to 13. Good job Joel!

Our day at the park

Ashley has been showing us Josie playing at the park so I had to upload these to show what our park looks like in the same month. Still a bit cold and snowy but yesterday was a nice day so Tyson rode his bike to Heritage Park and played for a bit.

 

 

 

Couldn't leave Corbin out......poor guy! He had just been playing with the ice on the driveway....standing on it and kicking it....then this happened....

BYU vs. Wyoming Flash Mob Dance

See if you can spot me...look towards the bottom left. I'm standing next to a guy in a dark blue BYU shirt near the isle. (one spot is around the 27 sec part. Bottom middle):



Then here's a better video of the dance i think.

Jessica sews!

We brought her over to the "bright" side! Yea! Janessa came over yesterday and today to sew her BOM blocks and told Jessica to get out her quilt that she started 3 years ago and sew. Jessica won't listen to mom but guess she will listen to Janessa. She pittered out yesterday but today she has kept at it and still going! Good job Jessica! I'm proud of you for making your first quilt!

 

 

 

 

 

Now to sew it together and make the borders for it!

 

Trip to Vegas

So this last weekend, I went down to Vegas to party. But not really party. Had a good time. There were about 10 of us that went.

I pulled my first, and most likely last, slot machine. I know, you're going to judge me, but I had to do it at least once. I won nothing...

Here's who all went:



As far as dates that you want posted, I'm not sure about that...maybe. Truth be told, I haven't been on any dates since the one with Janessa, and she shafted me anyways, so that's done and over with...

Typical night at our house

Here is another video of another typical night at our house.

Black Eyed Peas Tyson Dance

This is Tyson dancing to some Black Eyed Peas music. Thought Joel would like this since he's probably going to a ton of BYU dances at school.

Oh, BTW...we wanna see more pics of your dates and college life.

Ice Skating

So, yesterday evening was the date night. Went to Seven Peaks and ice skated. The date started late since we weren't able to get there until about 9:30 since my date had work. Her name is Janessa Reider. She's 4'11", fun, spunky. And no Janessa, it's brown hair.



We doubled with a buddy from my mission and his girlfriend. Good times.

Following the date, we went to Wendy's and had fries and a frosty. Then ended the night watching Nacho Libre at Josh's apartment.

So there you go...now ya'll have seen her.

New Toys at Grammie's!

I wish I had had 4 hands to video Tyson and how excited he was to play with the new toys while I was trying to get them out of their boxes! He kept saying how excited he was and this was so awesome! He kept jumping up and down so eager to play with the new cars and toys! I couldn't get them out of their boxes fast enough.

 

 

 

Arghhhh! I thought I had cleaned Corbin's face from his lunch!

 

I knew he wasn't clean when I took this pic. I gave him his poptart after he had been playing for awhile.

 

Tyson being silly for the camera.

 

Love these boys! It's always fun when they come play at Grammie's house! Just wish Josie was closer so she could join in on the fun!

Tyson talking

singing another song

Tyson loves to sing

Here is a song from Tyson to Joel...

Getting ready for a half

Janessa is in training for a half marathon that will be held at Bear Lake in June. It's way too cold to run outside right now so she has been coming over to run on the treadmill to keep up with her training. Way to go Janessa!

 

Rise and Shout

This one is for Joel! Thought you might like this video!

Janessa finished her 2 year quilt!

I think it is quilted and waiting for Janessa to pick it up from the quilter in Evanston. I am excited to see how it turned out. This quilt is made up of blocks from the last two years of the Block of the Month from Valley Fabric in Urie. Janessa decided that she didn't like all of her blocks so she decided to combine them together. They look great! I especially love the border around each block to tie each block together! Yea Janessa!

 

 

 

Snow and Fog at the cabin

Joel is wanting the blog to be updated.....anyone can add to it.....remember?! I haven't taken any new pics except these from the cabin. The lake did not freeze over this year. Last couple of trips over there we have had lots of fog, like the last 2 pics.
