Tyler vs. Union

Tyler wrestled against Union.  He pinned his guy.  As a team we won 64-15!  We are having a good season. 

My little boys!

I get to hangout with some pretty fun little boys everyday.  For the most part they are easy going and just play all day.  They get along really good with each other and don't fight so that is very nice. They are crazy and say some of the funniest things.  Little Tatton rolls his D's T's and R's when he talks.  It always makes us laugh.  

The crazy faces Tatton makes when anyone tries to get pictures of him are hilarious! 





They fall sleep every time we get in a car or go in a gym.  People can't believe how good they can sleep with all the yelling but they get their best sleep it seems like.

KK, Kenyan, loves playing with the tiles and seeing what he can build.

Today he made a triceratops! 

They build boats and paddocks.

These two normally go to lots of ball games but this year with COVID they have spent lots of time home with siblings or a babysitter. We finally got to start taking them to some games half way through the season and that made things so much easier.  Kenyan didn't love having to go because he would stay home all the time and never leave if he could.  It took some time to remember how long games were but they got good at sitting there again.

Tatton is so good to just go lay down when he is tired during the day and take a nap.  I love it!  Sometimes he will just lay down on the kitchen floor by my feet and fall asleep there.








These two love helping me make food especially brownies.



We have lots of fun hanging out each day. 

Mason freshman basketball vs. carbon at home

The Freshman haven't got many basketball games this year.  So when we played Carbon they brought their sophomers in to play the freshman game.  They only had three freshman come out for basketball and one died during the season so they only had the two.  

Mason played most of this game and played really good.



Since I was videoing the game we didn't get any pictures of Mason.  Theses are just some I had to try and screen shot off the video.

We ended up losing by four or five points.

Tatton and trains!

Tatton loves the train set.  He will have me help him build it and then sit and play with it for hours.  The nice thing is it will stay up for days so I don't have to keep building it over and over. If he breaks it he will stop and fix it.  I bought this set when Tyler and Mason were little boys and just add on to it for birthdays and Christmases for a couple years.  It has been one of my kids favorite toys.

Lot of hours have been spent playing trains.  The nice thing about the carpet at this house is it is good for playing trains on.

Elly’s 12th birthday!

We were supposed to be on our ski trip for Elly's birthday but since that didn't happen her birthday was pretty lame.  Her present that we ordered clear back in November still wasn't here in time but she had a couple smaller presents to open.

Its crazy that she is 12 now!  Elly has grown up way to fast.  Elly is busy with sports and good at them.  She is in the 6th grade this year which is junior high here and she is doing so good.  

Elly's present finally got here a few days after he birthday.  She was pretty excited about it.  She always gets mad that the boys get all the fun toys so Jay got her a RC car like what the boys have.  The little boys were as excited about it as she was.





They got it charged and headed out to drive it.

Quarantined!

We had a ski trip all planed and paid for when Tyler had to get tested for dumb COVID and it came back positive. So we had to cancel our ski passes and back out of our cabin.  The kids were all mad and wanted to just leave Tyler home.  The only thing he had and ended up having was he lost his taste and smell.  With nothing to do we went sledding one morning and took the kids up Huntington canyon to the run in the afternoon.  We ended up being pretty lucky that he only had to quarantine until the day the kids went back to school from Christmas break, so no missed days.

Hiking up this hill was a killer for the little kids but the ride down was great!





Fun times with these kids!  The blue truck got stuck out here in about three inches of snow so we spent some time getting it out.  Other than that it was fun.

Later that day when Dad was done with the cable guy at the house we went up Huntington canyon to the run and let the kids go down it.  This was the closest we could get to letting them ski over the Christmas break.  Nobody was up there so we had the whole thing to our selves.  

Mason and Drake

Elly and Tyler

The kids said it was easy so I decided to take Kenyan down.  The trail down wasn't bad but the hill hadn't been groomed so he had a hard time on the bottom part and didn't want to do it again.

I took Tatton in my arms the next couple times and he loved it.

There was a jump near the bottom the kids were hitting.  One of the times down we watch Tyler eat it hard.  Tatton had to go get his poles for him since he threw them when he was in the air.  We laughed and laughed at him.  He did hit really hard but once we knew he was okay we couldn't stop laughing.



One night while quarantined the boys got sucked into playing with Kenyan and his tiles.  They built some pretty fun stuff but decided we need more tiles. 







Kenyan and Tatton love these tiles and have played with them pretty much everyday. The bad thing is they always take over the little bit of cupboard space that I have.
