Colin, Colin, Ten years old…

Aaaaaand, he’s 10!! What! Double digits?!
Yes. And he gets breakfast in bed to begin the celebration. 2014 January YW, Super Bowl 004He even shared with his sis. 2014 January YW, Super Bowl 005Look at this handsome boy! He had to go to school on his birthday, but don’t worry, it’s Friday and a short day. Whenever I drop them off for school on short day, I say, “See you in five minutes!” Because,seriously, that’s what it feels like. 2014 January YW, Super Bowl 007Never fear, though, we brought him a firecracker (or firejack or jackfire or something) burrito for lunch…his favorite! It was fun to eat lunch with these crazy (and wonderful) kids!2014 January YW, Super Bowl 0102014 January YW, Super Bowl 014
After school, he walked home with his friend, Jared so they could hang out for a while.
When Dad got home, we headed out to dinner. Because it’s date night, Colin got to pick the restaurant. Bonsai Grill! He loved it, he’s never been there before and he liked watching the guy cook our dinner right before our eyes. 2014 January YW, Super Bowl 015After we took our picture, we hung it up of course, in the best spot we could find…2014 January YW, Super Bowl 018Time for presents!! He got some cool stuff from his brothers and sisters and Mom and Dad. A homemade card from Camri, a Ford Mustang t-shirt, a Lego set, some drawing stuff, and an X-Box game. Score!

Do you like his candles? I didn’t have ten, but I had a “five” and five ones…

Welcome 2014!

Last year was great, this year will be better…right?
When you start the year with a birthday, it feels like a new beginning all around. It helps when your birthday totally rocks because of your amazing, wonderful husband!!
Look what we did:
My sweet boy got up early to make me a birthday banner…this is a great kid!
2013 December Christmas 327
A few days before my birthday, we had family over for cake and ice cream. Yum! 2013 December Christmas 329
On my very birthday, Joe did something wonderful…tickets to Collin Raye!! We joined Jake and Liz and headed to Desert Star Theater. Dinner was included and it’s not a huge theater, plus we were on the second row. Score! 2013 December Christmas 330The boys had fun while we were waiting for the doors to open. Isn’t Jake pretty?2013 December Christmas 331Okay, so yummy dinner, a few games on our phones while we waited…and then Collin Raye. Joe brought home his CD right after we got married and I’ve loved his music ever since. He is so dang talented. He does these small shows every so often because he has lived here in the past and plans to move to Utah this year. He’s a cool guy.

2013 December Christmas 339It was an amazing concert!! Thanks dear for an amazing birthday and thanks Koko for babysitting. I have the greatest family!!
The party did not stop there (never!)…that weekend, we went with Ethan and Amy and Jake and Liz to Bonsai Grill for dinner, then to see Saratov Approach. Ethan and Amy’s kids joined us for the movie, it was such a fun night!  Joe Phone 014
Yep, it’s going to be a good year. I can tell.

Happy Birthday, you old lady.

Since Dakota’s birthday fell on our Ward Trunk-or-Treat night (again) and she insisted she wanted to go (again), we did presents the night before.
The kids all gave her fun stuff like a curling iron, blow dryer, hair styling products, and games.  I think she was happy…

Look how cute she is with her breakfast in bed.  2013 10 October Marci Phone 161
Aaaaand, look how gorgeous she is…she cleans up real nice.
2013 10 October Marci Phone 162Dad was able to get away, so I checked her and Emma out of school and we went to CafĂ© Rio for lunch.  Sweet Dad picked up some dessert on the way, including some GF treats.  This stuff was goooo-oooood.

Since I’m a lucky lady and get to work with the Young Women now, I got to help out with some of the activities.  We had face painting, cake walk, bag decorating, fishing tank, and more.  It was really fun!
