Happy 7th Birthday Kyson!

Kyson's birthday fell on a 3-day weekend this year so we decided to head up to Angels Camp and let the kids ski.  But first we had a birthday to celebrate!

Star Wars has been huge so naturally Kyson wanted a Star Wars cake.  I was planning on making him one until Gamie offered to pick one up at the grocery store. And I'm no dummy...... Kyson liked the toy on top of the cake and really loved his store-bought cake.  I was just happy not to have to make one. Win-win.




One of his big-hit presents was a bow and arrow set.  The bows glow and the arrows glow.  And they can fly really far!  He got a set from Gamie and a two sets from us. The idea was to have family wars with them.  The cousins had a great time with them and the 3 sets came in handy for sure!
 
And then it was on to skiing.  The kids are getting pretty good.

Shayli got to go for the first time this year.  She did great but was done by noon.  Ryan found her with her ski school crying and wanting her dad.  She turned in her skis and hung out with Gamie for the rest of the afternoon.  Meanwhile back at the ranch, Dexton and I were just doing our own thang.  And by that I mean eating cake. :)

Happy New Year 2016 and some more stuff

We brought in the New Year with good friends and good food.  We celebrated with lots of families at the Hatch home where we played minute it to win it and then had a rockin' dance party. We may have played all the songs from the 80's and 90's while all the teenagers and tweens rolled their eyes at the their mothers but we didn't let that stop us from doing the Running Man.....And Lora can't throw a party without a balloon drop.  We did the countdown with New York and let the balloons fall!


The following weekend we headed up to Stockton to cheer on the BYU basketball team when they played against  UOP.  We met up with the Hatch's again and had a great time!

 And moving on to other things......someone is mobile and getting ornery! At least he's pleased with himself.



What he isn't pleased with is having all of his siblings and friends outside playing without him.  He's been feeling quite left out.


Your time will come honey-bun, your time will come.....
