Chef in the Making!

Spencer is in two tennis tournaments this week and had matches all afternoon today in Provo. While him and my mom were gone Colton was feeling a little bored and didn't have anything to do so I asked him if he wanted to help me make Snickerdoodle cookies. Actually, he ended up making them all by himself! He read the recipe, measured everything, used the mixer, and rolled the dough in the cinnamon without any help. All I did was get them out of the oven! It was so fun watching him figure it out! He was pretty proud of himself, wasn't bored anymore, and had a treat to enjoy! Tyler was pretty happy too!

An Early Valentines Surprise!

So this afternoon I was just doing some homework and the doorbell rang. When I looked outside there were two bunches of roses and two cards from Dantley. Since Dantley is living in St. George right now to train for the next few months, it was definitely a BIG suprise! He is always so thoughtful and SUCH a good friend to me!

Twin Blog: No More!

So Ashley and I have decided maybe it is time to go our separate ways (at least in the blogging world!) I'm keeping this blog and Ashley started her own! You can get to it from the link on my sidebar. For some reason I think maybe I'll be better at posting more often if I have my own blog... or maybe not. We'll see i guess!

Happy Birthday Colton!

Today was Colton's 9th birthday! I can't believe he is 9 already! he is growing up SO fast! We decided to celebrate it with our family yesterday. He decided he wanted to go to Citris Grill and then bowling after. We all had a great time hanging out together and you know Colton, he always makes it a party! Colton ended up beating all of us, along with his killer dance moves. Haha love that kid! But in my defense, Ashley and Spencer and I didn't have bumpers on our lane! Sorry Spencer... I guess Black Beauty let you down!

Here's Colton dancing! So funny!

Tonight we had cake and ice cream and Colton opened his presents. Ashley and I got him a new green camera. He loves it! He can't stop taking pictures of everyone and everything, especially Sophie! I'm starting to worry she might go blind though from all the flashing! He had a great birthday and still has his friends party on Wednesday at RockReation.
