The year so far

I didn't think I had much to post about until I saw all these pictures.  I can't believe we are already into February of 2013.  I hate to keep saying that time flies but it really truly does the older you get.  I'm just going to blog about every picture.  
 Xander can really crack us up sometimes.  He is to that age where imagination really takes over.  It's amazing what kind of stuff they come up with.  He put on this hat one day and told me that he was a character from some game.  Jeremiah lets him play games sometimes on his phone and our tablet devices.  We try to keep that limited but it definitely keeps him entertained and distracted so we can get stuff done.  
 Our house has not been immune from all the germs flying around this winter.  Poor Wesley has been dealing with some sickness.  He has wanted some extra cuddles.  This is me taking advantage of cuddle time.  
 Happy 33rd birthday to Jeremiah!  It's tough getting older but it has to happen.  If you aren't getting older it's probably because you are dead?  I have a favorite quote now that helps ease the pain of getting older, "Getting older is a privilege denied to many."  That quote is a great reminder to me that so many are taken from this life too soon and I have this chance to live my life and I feel like I have done so much and come so far.  Jeremiah has also come very far in his life.  I am proud of my husband and how much he does for us.  I know he has greatly exceeded the expectations of those whom he grew up with.  On his birthday we dropped the kids off at daycare so we could have a day date.  We got massages, I looked on horrified as Jeremiah ate a lobster for lunch and then we played like kids at Boondocks.  We have the whole laser tag room to ourselves twice!  
 Up on a mountain snowboarding!!!
 Gorgeous view from the mountain while snowboarding. 


 Some of these pictures are from a trip to Snowbasin.  I love to snowboard and Jeremiah snow skis.  We met my parents up at the resort.  We took the kids up in the gondola ski lift and they got to watch us go down the mountain.  It was a beautiful day to get some "skiboarding" done.  I would love to go more but it is so expensive.  We might try to go one more time before the season ends.  
 I made Wesley a Batman hat because he is obsessed with that super hero lately.  Xander was jealous so I had to crochet him a hat as well.  They look so cute as my two little Batmen!  
We have had a lot of snow this winter.  I made the kids go outside and we had fun making snow angels.  It's so easy to get cabin fever!  I'm just counting down the weeks when winter will go away!  

We have fun times ahead.  In less than 2 weeks we will be in Disneyland.  The month after that trip Jerry and I are flying to Texas to go on a cruise to Cozumel.  I can't wait for these fun trips!
