Ethan

Today, Kayla and I got to go over to Heath and Marcelle's and hang out with Ethan for the afternoon... babysit really.
He is a very happy baby and we had a lot of fun! Blowing raspberries was the highlight of our afternoon!

Brandon's best friend Tyler got to spend the night with us on Friday night. They went to Friday Night Live (this is a place for kids between the ages of 8-14 to go and have a good time dancing, playing sports, swimming, etc) up at the City Park Rec Center. Sad enough, my son has more of a night life than I do!! :) Anyhow, the boys came home at 10:30 and they had won some funky flashing teeth (amongst many other odd toys) that you will see in these pictures. They were SOOOO wound up. I helped get them set up in Brandon's room with the TV and some snacks and drinks and it didn't take Tyler long to find Brandon's stash of candy. I thought they would be up all night long making noise and playing games and stuff but they managed to pass out long about midnight. The next morning they drug their butts out of bed around 9am, we had breakfast and a bit later we met Tyler's mom, sister and cousin up at the theater to see GHOST RIDER!!! Excellent movie!

February 28th

Tonight is Kayla's Orchestra Concert at Westy High School and she is painting her toes so they look good in her cute new shoes. I'm trying to take her picture but she is not cooperating (of course).
So I figured out the only way to get her to smile for me (naturally) was to get her to say a bad word, ya know, instead of cheese. Well it worked. I got some really great pictures of her.

Kayla runs to the couch and falls onto it! Leo is after her. Kayla tries to get away but Leo's on her! Holding her down! She can't get away! Leo has got Kayla pinned to the couch with one paw! ONE! TWO! THREE! and LEO is the WINNER!!!!
Congratulations Leo!! (now get off of Kayla so she can breathe!) Leo is a heavyweight!

Zia's Birthday

The weekend of Feb 17th we celebrated Zia's birthday. We ate a great dinner and played Phase 10.
Instead of the traditional cake we had a cherry cheesecake.
Happy Birthday to you Zia!!!
