Snow Much Fun

Wow - we have been having so much fun playing in the snow. We finally have gotten some decent storms at our house and really have had fun playing in the snow. We also have made many trips up to Keystone for ski trips. Payson and I went out to build a snowman the other day but the snow was not great for a snowman. We settled on Jabba the Hut. Much easier. While shopping for some new sunglasses the boys tried to help me pick out some new shades. Love that Dillon's are upside down! Dillon's favorite spot in Keystone is sitting right by the fire, but we did head out for some sledding once I saw Payson trying to sled on the snow drift in the driveway. After sledding, Payson and I went to mess around on the magic carpet at the Ski School. Payson is trying to jump up and down while shouting "This is Awesome!" After skiing and sledding, this is how I found Payson when it was time to go out to dinner! While at dinner, Dillon decided to show off his drinking skills - cracked everyone up at the table! The next day we headed up the Gondola to meet Daddy for lunch while he was skiing. The boys loved the Gondola. We were able to play on the Snow Castle at the top of the mountain. Too bad it is melting quickly. We were excited to see Riperoo and get a picture with him! After playing in the snow, the boys were too tired to walk to the parking lot, luckily I am was able to put them in the wagon for a ride. Stay tuned for more skiing fun - Payson is turning into a great skier!

Pinterest Addiction

Yep, I am pretty much addicted to Pinterest. I have tried many recipes, some good, some bad, but still fun to try something new. I pin so many style and decorating ideas too. I decided on a cold snowy day we needed to do an art project - Thank you Pinterest. I tried to get a picture of Dillon and his masterpiece, but he kept putting it in front of his face. He was saying "cheese" behind the canvas!

Happy Valentine's Day 2013

Valentine's Day turned into a Valentine's Week as Dillon had a party at his school on Monday and Payson had a party at his school on Wednesday. Our celebrations lasted all week long. Todd took the boys shopping for my gift and they had been home about 5 minutes before Dillon announced that he had bought me a new purse. Luckily Dillon likes to shop at the Coach store and I love it! On Valentine's Day the boys were excited to get a little bag of goodies from Mommy and Daddy. They both sat down right away to start coloring with their new crayons and markers. Since I had to work in the evening, we decided to go have lunch with Daddy at his office. First we needed to make some yummy treats for everyone at the office! Had to laugh when I looked at this picture - anyone else notice how Dillon tried to "sneak" a cookie! The best treat for the boys was their M&M Light Sabers. This was the best thing for both of them. I attempted a Valentine Photo, but they were too interested in their Light Sabers. Don't ya love Dillon's Valentine's Day shirt? Having lunch with Daddy is too fun. The boys love walking around the seed room. Later that night we had our own Star Wars Battle - these were the best candy toys ever!

Poor Disney Cat

As most of you know, Todd is in love with our wood burning fire place. It is pretty much the reason why we bought this house. We have enjoyed many fires this winter and the boys love to help crinkle up the paper to get the fireplace started. Disney the cat has found that she loves sleeping in front of the fire. We had just finished dinner the other night when Dillon walked over and saw Disney sleeping in front of the fire. Of course she ran from him, but here is what he had to say about Disney. Too funny!

Crazy February Activites

The month of February is crazy - it is short, but we always manage to fill it with a lot of activities. We go from snow to 60 degrees,so on a nice day we hit up the zoo. The zoo is a place we always have a great time, how fun to enjoy lunch outside. We treated ourselves to ice cream cones! Dillon loves anything to do with Cars - especially the music. He was singing along in the car and tried to get a great video - got to love big brothers! We have been to the pool, and Payson invited his buddy Jake to attend the Monster Truck Jam at the Pepsi Center. Playing in the what used to be our Living Room, but now is referred to as the Toy Room. Hanging out at Home Depot for a birthday party - always fun to hand a group of 20 kids their own hammers! Visiting Ruby - the newest addition at the Rooney household. Hudson and Grayson have a new basset hound puppy. Payson is so jealous, but knows that Daddy is only potty training one thing at a time. We have said we can start to discuss a dog once Dillon is out of diapers! I am sure all of our activities have been tiring to look at - check out how Dillon felt one night at dinner. Pretty much fell asleep with a spoon in his mouth!
