Our Anniversary Weekend!...has it been 5 years already??

Well, we figured with a baby on the way and it being the big 5th year anniversary, we would do something fancy. Around here, the fanciest thing to do is stay at the lavish Davenport Hotel in downtown Spokane, WA. And, boy, we weren't disappointed!

Never have we experienced such a hotel! Valet parking, a door man with a fancy uniform, and a great room with a really big shower! Oh, how small-town, hick-ish we sound but we felt very much like fish-out-of-water.

After dinner and a movie, we ordered up some yummy late night treats! Matt had 3 big cookies and milk and I had apple crisp a la mode!
To finish the weekend off, we went to a Spokane Chiefs hockey game! Matt even caught a free t-shirt from the sling shot! It's great to have a tall man with long arms!

For some reason I think it doesn't look that much bigger than the last time I posted...oh well!!

Snow Day

Portland is funny. They reported that we should expect a lot of snow and that it would stay for a few days. They were a little right. It did snow but only and inch or two and it was gone by this afternoon. That always seems to be how it is. So around here any little skiff means no school! Yay! We all bundled up and headed outside this morning and had a blast playing in the snow! We built a big snowman and rolled lots of snowballs and threw a few, made snow angels and trekked across the field. We also had a few tastes of the snow - Dallas especially enjoyed eating it - and even enjoyed the sunshine through it all! It was great! SO here are some photos of our fun! =)
I know there are a lot but we don't get snow very often so too bad. ;)Jett's first order of business...a snow angel of course!

Our snowman! Jett called him Snowy and Tucker called him Mr. Snowhead.

Tucker wanted to hold his hand for the picture.

My goober.

He loved eating the snow - I made sure he got the clean parts. =)

Cheese!

I don't even know why he made this face. Silly booga-lips.

Jett made his own small snowman and later karate chopped it apart. It was awesome.

Handsome Tuck-man

He just makes me laugh.

Remodel Show - Downtown Boise!

This last weekend, Drew and Ben, (a guy Drew does a lot of work with) set up a booth at the Boise Remodel Show down at the Boise Center on the Grove. They had banners and brochures, business cards and matching t-shirts! Not only did they look GREAT, they had a good time and were able to get over 30 people to give them their contact info! That's a lot of contacts for 1 day! Yay boys!

The Things Kids Say...

Ava and I were in the car the other day and she asked me about coffee... so then proceeded a small portion of the Word of Wisdom talk with my 4 year old.

Ava: "So we should stay away from coffee 'cause it's bad for you... and even flies...'cause they have germs. (long pause, thinking intently.) But not butterflies. They're PRETTY!"

So cute to watch a child's mind work through an idea!

Drumroll Please...

IT'S A GIRL!

This was the best 3D photo of her. The tech had a hard time because her arms were so close to her face. She was kind of curled up in a little ball the whole time and I think in the video you can see that her feet are crossed.
