Hatosh Birthday

Hatosh is now 9, he is growing so fast. His Aunt Gwen and grandma made a lego birthday cake for him the Saturday before his birthday. We went to the park and the classic fun center on his actual birthday. Eric is in Santa Rosa so he called that morning to talk to Hatosh and wish him a happy birthday.
It is amazing how fast kids grow up. Hatosh is a super sweet kid and is always nice to everyone. We love him very much.

March Fun

In March we went to St. George for the weekend. It was lots of fun, we stayed with some friends while we were there. We went to the Temple and had fun playing in the warm weather.

For family night we went to fly kites with Eric's sister and her family. The kids had a lot of fun. The weather was perfect for flying kites, it was a nice wind without being too cold.

Eric's brother brought over his bounce house one day and the kids loved jumping in it. It would be fun to own one.

Family Time

We went over to the bird nature area and walked around with the kids it was a lot of fun. The kids love to go walk around the area. As the sun set it got cold.

Gerbils

The 2 we are keeping.
The 2 boys.
The 2 girls.
All 6 of the babies.
This is when they were a few days old.

For Christmas we got our daughter what we thought were 3 male gerbils, well 3 weeks ago we woke up to our daughter telling us that there were 6 baby gerbils in the cage. We went down to see and sure enough there were 6 baby gerbils. We took the 2 boys out of the cage so that we will not have any more surprises. It is amazing how fast these gerbils are growing. The kids love to hold them and play with them. We are going to keep 2 of the girls to keep the mom company in her cage and then we will have the 2 boys in their cage. So we will have 2 boys and 2 girls available if anyone wants gerbils.

Balloons

So for the long weekend we went down to B-town to hang out with Eric's family. While we were there we went down to Bluff for the balloon festival, it was really cool seeing the balloons light up at night. The kids had a blast, even though it was freezing cold. We always enjoy seeing the family, the kids love to play with their cousins.

Christmas Fun

We have had some fun for Christmas. We decorated the tree, went to see Temple Square lights, made gingerbread houses, and had lots of fun. Maheone also got a parakeet, she has been saving her money for awhile now and finally had enough to buy the cage, food, toys, and bird.

Thanksgiving

We went to Delta to spend Thanksgiving at my sisters house. My sister has 6 kittens and the kids loved to play with them. Moienah loved to drag them around, and call them her babies. We went Wednesday morning and stayed until Friday. On Wednesday night we went out to a place called Joy which used to be a town, you can still see the foundations of the houses. We built a fire and roasted hot dogs and marshmellows. On Thursday we cooked and had a wonderful dinner, lots of good food. Eric and some of the kids rode horses. The boys loved riding the four wheelers around. They also had bought a basketball game which I think everyone enjoyed playing.

On Friday we drove over to Blanding and spent time with Eric's family, which is always fun. Played cards late into the night. We also did a relay in rememberance of the Sandcreek massacre victims.
