January 4-wheeling and friends

In January for FHE we helped the girls make boxes for their tithing and savings.  I am trying to start a little allowance for both of them and am assigning them chores that they have to do.  One of them has to set the table and unload the dishwasher for the week while the other ones has to clear the table and sweep the floor for the week.  Then we trade.  They are both also in charge of a bathroom.  We will see how it goes:)

Sadie and Stockton having fun playing with their friends.  They loved jumping on the bed:)

Taetum and Sadie watching Kaleb's wrestling match.  Such cute little girls:)

Enjoying a cupcake.  Look at that face!

In the middle of January it was so cold that the pool was frozen about 6-8 inches think.  The kids could walk on it (while holding our hand) but it totally freaked the girls out.

Stockton thought it was pretty cool.

We went on a 4-wheeler ride from my parents to my brothers on a very back road.  The kids had soooo much fun.

My cute kids enjoying their ride.

We stopped and had lunch at a school and then we hit the trail again.

Look at those faces.  They had a blast!

Stockton was so dirty by the time we got back but wanted to keep right on playing.

One of my friends offered to come over and watch the kids while Ben and I went to dinner.  The girls had so much fun playing dress ups with their friends.  These girls are so cute together:)

Stockton just hanging out in the girls bed.  This little boy is always up to something!

These two absolutely LOVE vacuums.  They crack me up because they have a love/hate relationship with vacuums.  They love looking at them but are terrified of them at the same time.  When we got to the store they just want to spend all of their time looking and playing with the vacuums.  Any house we go to Stockton always seems to find the vacuum. 

This video is one of my favorites to watch.  Sadie & Stockton love to watch it too and always ask for "bacuum".

Ady & Emma went to the Home Depot kid project day and got to make Valentine holders.  They were so excited to go with their dad and make a fun project.

Sadie & Stockton spent some time on the 4-wheeler or nun nun as they call it.  Stockton is actually a decent driver and Sadie just sits back and lets him drive her around. 

I forgot to send coats with my kids one day when my parents were watching them so this is how they improvised.  They look like the chipmunks:)

Just hanging out watching "Dolphins".  It is a Baby Einstein movie that the twins love.  They ask to watch it all the time and they just lay on my bed.  I love that they repeat what it is saying throughout the show.  My favorite is "Tropical Bird". 

In January we went to Richfield to watch our nephew wrestle in a tournament.  The girls loved that they got to go and play with their cousins.  It was definitely a cold day but still a lot of fun.  I love Stockton and Emma's faces in this picture. 

Having fun with the cousins!

Playing in the snow.

Abby and Stockton watching the wrestling match.  He was getting very tired by this point.

Sadie & Whitney enjoying the finals.
