Blue and Gold Banquet 2013

On February 16th our ward had their annual Blue and Gold Banquet.  It was so much fun because the lady in charge had a guy that she knew come and decorate with blown up balloons.  The kids LOVED it!!!  There were games and awards given out and a huge celebration for Cub Scouts.  Thanks for all the fun and all the hard work that everybody put into it!

Yes, that really is a huge cake made out of balloons!

There was a contest of who could blow the biggest bubble out of bubble gum and Kaylee won!

Carson's 9th Birthday

So this year Carson turned 9 years old.  He is growing so big and so smart.  He got a lot of clothes (frankly because he's growing so fast we can't keep him in them for very long) and shoes, games and a trunk to put all his "fun" things in to keep his brother out of them. 

We had grandparents over for presents and cake.  Carson loves Pokemon so that's what he got for a cake.

One of my favorite pictures!  Way to go Grandpa!!!

Since Carson's birthday is right after CHristmas we always felt it would be too much to ask his friends' parents to get a birthday gift for him.  So we waited to have his brithday party until January 26th.  We decided that we would take them to the Syracuse Family Fun Center.  They had a blast jumping on the bounce things but they mostly had a great time using the tokens to play games.  Lesson learned...take them to NickelCade next time!

Great friends, great times and great food make for a great birthday party!  

Thanks everybody!!!

Winter Fun

On January 10th, 2013 we decided to go have some winter fun with neighbors and cousins.  Our neighbors the Horton's and Jeff and Holly and their kids decided to go sledding at Syracuse High School.  We had so much fun.

Here's Curt being a daredevil!  What a hunk!

Kaylee and Cassidy, McKayla and Callie!

Jr. Jazz Jazz Game

On January 7th, 2013 Curt and Carson, our friends Trent and his son Garrett and Joel and his son Micah all went to the Utah Jazz game for the Jr. Jazz.  They had a ton of fun!  What a great boys night out!

 

Many Faces of Curt!

So for those of us who TRULY know Curt we know that he has many different sides but I doubt any of us have seen these sides.  This is one of those apps from Troy's phone to make Curt look like Santa but with a twist.  I think it's Santa's mug shot.  What do you think?

 

This one has a story behind it.  So each year my friends and I have usually have a couples Christmas party where we bring white elephants.  This year my friend Jodi brought this wig that she had bought for I think a Napolean Dynamite costume.  Curt just happened to end up with it.  Each time he put it on we had tears streaming down our faces because it just seemed to "fit".  Then Patrick, Jami's husband" used his moustache app and this is the end product.  Jami said that he looked like a "creeper".  I tend to agree but it's still very funny!  This one is classic in that ring of friends and still gets talked about.  Thanks babe for all the memories!

 

Christmas 2012

So Christmas 2012...what else is there to say?  We got spoiled again!  We are so grateful for all the things that we have been blessed with but especially for family, friends and the knowledge of our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ.  Eveythign else is secondary.

Merry Christmas!
