Kenzie the climber...

Paul and I were in our room changing Jaron when we heard Kenzie messing with the blinds. We came in and found her standing in the window behind the blinds. Before she got in big trouble, which she did, I grabbed the camera. She turned around and peeked out the blinds. Although this was dangerous and she was in time out after - the pictures sure are cute :)

Tate came to play and they were hiding in everything :)

The bulldog....

I don't know if you have heard, but we have a bull dog in our house. His name is Jaron. Here is a video of him to show why we call him that :)

It was the right night for TWILIGHT!

So in case you didn't know - Twilight came out on video on the 21st. With a little encouragement from Emily (sister-in-law extraodinaire), we had a midnight Twilight party starting Friday the 20th at 10:00 pm :) Eunice, Emily and her friends all made t-shirts with various Twilight quotes on them. They were the group who went at 11:30 to be in line to buy the movie when it came out at midnight. We started the movie about 12:15 - and everyone went home about 2:30 am.

We watched the movie, these pictures were taken mid movie. Pregnant Mauvia didn't make it all the way through :) I think I woke her up when I took this (rude - I know)

Here are some other photos :)

I know - you are jealous you weren't here. There was tons of food, and we had a great time!

It snowed, then melted, then snowed some more!

The last few days have been so crazy - and the weather has been nutty as well. It was sunny and beautiful, then yesterday we woke up to snow. Then in melted, then it snowed, then it melted and then about 2 in the afternoon - huge cottonballs of snow came down for about 40 minutes - we ended up with over 4 inches of snow. So crazy! We sent the kids to go play in it and Jack made a Giant snowball - trying to make a snowman. The snow was too weak and couldn't handle any weight on it.

They made snow cakes yesterday and put some in their oven to cook. I also ended up with one in my freezer. Kenzie wants to make it pink and Paul wants to drizzle chocolate sauce on it and eat it. Yuck!

Watch this video - Paul wins the father of the year award for this!

Trip to Utah, Natalie, and a visit to the Draper Temple

Thanks to Southwest's half price fares, we were able to go to Utah for the mid winter break of school. While we were there, we took the kids on a tour of the Draper temple. We weren't allowed to take pictures, but here are some photos of the way there. It had snowed that morning, so the kids were all bundled up.

It was such a great experience! Jack said that he doens't want the temple to get the "special blessing" (dedication) so he can go visit it every day. Kenzie's eyes were as big as plates when we walked in the celestial room - she said it was "so shiney" We got to stay in the sealing room for a while and the kids got to look in the mirrors that go forever. My Mom tried to lift Jack and about got a hernia :)

Grandpa and Grandpa took care of the kids for us:

One of Grandma's goals was to get Jaron to let her hold him - she was successful :) Much to Grandma's chagrin, Jaron tried to get the other baby out of her crystal cabinet - it was cute, but we had to stop him before he broke something.

Cousin Blake's birthday was while we were there - he turned eight and is getting baptized the first weekend in March. We are so excited for him. My brother Andrew likes to film everything. I'm sure over the years there are several pictures like this:

For Christmas, the Buckleys (Andrew and clan) got a digital drum set - Jack and I had SO much fun messing around with it. You can change the drum kits, one even was human voices and screams. You can also plug an ipod into it and play with real music - super cool.

Really - the point of the trip was so I could spend time with Natalie (or Melody as Kenzie calls her) since I had not seen her since a few months before she left on her mission. As you can see, things haven't changed - it was so good to see her :)

Grandma Buckley bought the kids some new church clothes - they look so great. And Jaron learned to pull a new face. Due to the dry air and "utah boogs", he has learned a new snorty face. We are so proud :)

Paul is 30!! - so he built a fort :)

Paul turned 30 last month - he has finally caught up to me. Here are some pictures from his birthday.

Kenzie helped make the cake :)
