Catch Up

My cousin Viviana came into town a few weeks ago. Unfortunately for us she doesn't live nearby, so we only get to see her at most twice a year and often less often. It was Viv's first time meeting Liesel. It was fun to see her- funny too, since she and Ben did an entertaining parody of a hip-hop instructional video. If I had a copy than you could be amused as well!

We bought a family membership to the Dinosaur Park for a great deal, so we should be heading there a lot this year.The night before Brad and I went to my cousin's sealing, the boys had a sleepover at Brad's parents' house. They next day they took Parker to see Tangled. We had already seen it, but of course Parker was happy to see it again. That is definitely a movie we'll be buying. I'm glad my boys like to help out with the cleaning sometimes. They are both good at filling/emptying the dishwasher and vacuuming. This vacuum was the best $18 I ever spent. Jason can get it out and vacuum himself and Parker can even do the stairs. No more sweeping under the table for me! A few days after Christmas there was a crazy snow storm. It didn't snow more than three or four inches, but the wind blew it up higher. You can see that our wreath looks like it's frosted. On New Year's Eve we hung out at home. We ate treats and played games with the kids. We put Jason to sleep at eight and Parker and Liesel down at nine. Then Brad and I stayed up playing games, watching a movie and working on a puzzle. It was a pretty fun night just staying home.

We've all had some fun with our new basketball hoop. It can adjust up to six feet, but we have it at three feet so both boys can dunk it.Jason LOVES his Toy Story 3 Run Around Round-Up game that GG and Grandpa Carlson gave him. Seriously if you have a 2-4 year old, I would highly consider giving them this game. Liesel likes her Bumbo chair as long as we're nearby. Of course we'd never just leave her, but she likes us to give her attention. So I know this post is very random, but I just need to catch up all the loose ends.
