Zacky's laser tag party

we decided to do a joint laser tag party with Seth and Alec (Dalton jumped in too) and, of course with crazy Melisa, it got a little big! We had 15 boys! It was wild, but the boys had fun! Derek came with Zacky and he was so cute and protective of him I was very proud of him.

Kidney infection

Poor Taylor keeps getting bladder infections and most recently a yucky kidney infection :( Because she's had so many lately, we had to go and get some really yucky tests done. She had a sad morning at the hospital so we skipped the rest of school and went shopping instead :) (turned out nothing is wrong with her pipes)

Zacky's 8th birthday

Zacky picked Brick Oven for his family dinner

he loved the singing!
He got to cut his cake...look at his piece!
grandma beebe gave him birthday money :)
he got a special 8 pancake for breakfast
and he got a new room...sports comforter nad mattress and new arrangement...he was excited to have his room changed (taylor got hers done for her birthday) and we did sports pictures for him too. Having his bed in the middle of the room has actually helped...he doesn't sleep nearly as crazy (slamming in to our wall!)
grandma martin sent a wii game...
and got legos from almost everyone! He couldn't have been happier!
and, of course, he opened some of pop-pop's early...grandma drexie said he could :) the kids love telling me that grandma is the boss of the present opening!
he loves getting packages!
he got the stars trilogy wii game that he was wanting so bad!

and shoes from pop-pop :)

girls breakfast

girls had a kneaders breakfast break and afterwards Kimmy got flattened by Kelly :)

ice skating lessons

Taylor and Noelle started ice skating lessons this year. They LOVE it! It's a little far to drive to seven peaks (and Kelly and I get stuck talking to Ramona), but we're excited for them to get to do this together! ...and Taylor wears my skates! (she's getting too big!)

VALENTINES DAY

We went to Brick Oven with EVERYONE for V-Day...it was a little crazy, but the kids love it!

Zacky got legos...and had his star wars guy put together super fast!



The kids love running down in the morning to see their v-days gifts. Taylor got a new outfit for summer from grandma drexie...her favorite..and zacky got a snowboard for his dog. She also got an underwater ipod cover from daddy...coach janet said no for practices :( And zacky LOVED his legos of course! Mommy got a new electric toothbrush...is that a hint???



the kids made v-day cookies at Kellys...always a party....then we took some over to Grandma Beebe :)

Zacky's basketball

Zacky played basketball at Lehi with his neighborhood friends. Their team won every game and had TONS of fun together(especially because Melisa kept track of every good move...passing, shooting, etc and awarded candy!) Zacky is so good...he loves to play and dress like LeBron :) He practices his "sweet moves--reverses, fade-aways, jump shots, dunks, etc." on his little hoop in his room. And I have to beg him to wear something other than his basketball jerseys! He's so fun to watch! He said he'll still hug and kiss me when he's in the pro's :) ....the last pic...Ethan Tetro LOVES Taylor. He just hovers around her :)

Family Night Twister

The kids love games...especially with Daddy because it never stays serious for long!
