Our Adventures with Hannah

For Hannahs birthday activity she picked a sleepover. Allie informed us that it was her first REAL sleepover......whoa I was feeling the pressure but took a deep breath and prepared! Besides I knew just what to do, go to the store and let her pick out her own treats - right? She picked Mt Dew for her drink and this is how that went
me: "ummm do your parents let you drink that?"
hannah: "yeah my dad let us when my mom was in St George"
it was good enough for me so it went into the cart. she was happy. score one for Mike and Keri

She wanted to make pizza for dinner. Lucky for us Mike used to work at the pizza stop so we were ready for this one too! Mike was the best teacher ever.

Step one: Sauce (stick your tongue out for concentration if you choose)
Step two was toppings, cheese and a few more toppings, but I was having too much fun to take a picture :)

Step three: Pose by your "ready to bake" pizzas
Step four: check for bubbles in dough and general yumminess
Step five: Pose by your final product - looks good guys!!
Step six: ENJOY and for me, just compliment my amazing chefs!
Hannah said it was the best pizza she ever ate. She picked her toppings at the store - pepperoni, green pepper, mushroom and pineapple.
We made our beds in the front room and prepared to watch the princess and the frog, but something was wrong with ours (awww man - minus one point) but we quickly rebounded and started Enchanted instead. Movie snacks were picked out at the store (I am telling you that was the magic choice) and the bedtime story was "Silverlicious" (yeah we got that at the store too!)

Remi made a new friend. Lincoln did not. Lincoln was crazy and out of control as usual so Remi got Hannah all to himself and she loved it! He kept getting on her bed, but she didn't seem to mind (once she realized he was the old calm one) She bought this unicorn with her very own money so "Pinky" got to come sleepover too. Hannah really wanted to show her to Remi, but was nervous about him getting to close. This was her solution. And to answer Keiths question - yes, pinky still has her innocence.


We had so much fun Hannah! Thank you for coming and I hope your first real sleepover is a happy memory!

Mikes Birthday

Mike turned 33 on January 13th - Old Man! I am actually completely kidding about that, but he thinks he is crazy old so it is funny. I got him a Baskin Robins ice cream cake which doesn't actually have any cake (like a hay ride without hay....) but was still great. Look at his cute birthday picture

I told him to get closer to the cake - awesome picture! He makes me smile everyday. So glad this fantastic guy is my husband!
Here he is with the neighbors
Lyn, Mike and Brandi all have birthdays in January so we decided to go to Wendover and celebrate

Look at the earlier picture - see how Andrew has on a shirt and tie? During the night he started taking his shirt off (whoa! we all thought) and he revealed this special happy birthday shirt he had made - so great! We had a blast :)
