We have been outside trying to soak up all the sun we can!  Today we went up to the observatory and hiked most of the way before i had to go back to work!  the boys had a blast playing in the snow and the waterfalls , it was surprisingly warm up there and beautiful!

Where should I start?  I havent updated since new years!  We have been so busy since the start of the new year.  Just recently I started as a demonstrator for Uppercase Living and also Finishing Touches with Kayla, so we have been busy getting started with everything and we have our first party in a week!  I am so excited and a little nervous since this is my first presentation and a big one at that!  Hopefully it goes great!  I am also still working at the vet hospital and I love it!  I love my girls there, we always have a good time even though i miss my family terribly when im gone, i think they like it though because they get to play video games with thier daddy:)lol

        We have been busy cleaning up around the house inside and out since spring is trying to peak out!  We  have pretty much redone the whole inside of the house and have almost finished the kids new craft area in the office!  It is so cute!  Seth built them a wrap around table and we got them little stools to sit on along with the walls decorated with the alphabet and numbers and a map of the U.S all done in bright colors and they have all there coloring stuff and stamps and paint, ect. set out.  They totally love it and i hope it will be a good learning area for them!  Outside we are getting ready to start on a raised flower garden and vegetable garden, hopefully we'll start that tomarrow:)  The boys are definatley ready for spring time!  we signed Ayden up for Cal Rippkin Jr. baseball this week and he is soooo excited!  He asks everyday if he has practice yet, which doesnt start until april 1st.  So, today we went and got them both thier own wooden t-ball bats and a t- ball stand to practice with.  My mom got them both mits for christmas, so they should be set!  Gavin starts in april on a toddler team at the raquet club, so we have been playing alot of baseball at our house lately:)  Ayden's also still loving school and all his little girl friends(it has started already)Today was thier Valentines Day party and it was soooo cute.  They had cookies, which we took, and all sorts of other treats and exchanged valentines with each other.  It was priceless.  Gavin stayed home with grandma and loved it of course because "he's a cowboy"  and loves to help grandma feed and water all the hosres!  That's another project we are starting this weekend, the braking of my new filly "Pepper Ann".  My parents gave her to me and so i'm going to start this weekend with some ground work, she needs alot since she's not really halter broke even!  The boys are excited because they can ride thier pony through the mud puddles.  Seth is excited because he got a new horse too!  Her name is "Caramel"  and she will be here in a week or so!  I am so excited because now we can all ride as a family!

      We have also had both of the boys' birthdays which were a total blast!  We had their party together at the bowling alley and all of their friends came and I think we bowled for four hours!  The boys would have stayed longer, but we were all exhausted!  Afterwords we went out to dinner with Jason and Kayla and their boys. It was perfect and I can't believe my boys are five and three!!!!  We just had Amber and Josh and their little ones over for dinner and it was so great to see them!  We hadn't had dinner with them since summer and it was great to catch up!  Seth and Josh spent most of the time talking about hunting and thier bows, of course, so funny!  Amber and I got to enjoy some grown up girl talk and watch our boys and Makiah pretend to hunt stuff while playing a video game, they hid behind the ottoman with toys guns shooting deer!  It was pretty funny.  Amber talked me into running a half marathon in June with her and I think we have our husbands talked into it also.  It should be fun, and we have been running like crazy to get ready for it!:)  I'm excited!(and out of shape:)lol)
