January started out with celebrating the new year. Amy and Jared invited us over to celebrate. Daniel and Ryan and gone to St. George, so it was just us girls and mom and dad. We had a delicious dinner of french toast. Amy and Jared had made all different kinds of french toast including: cinnamon toast (like they serve at kneaders), french toast covered in frosted flakes, regular french toast, and Minnie Mouse pancakes. They also made made homemade syrup and had all different types of topping to put on your french toast. Everything tasted delicious!! After dinner we played games including a few rounds of Catch Phrase. Mason and Ash had a great time playing together in Amy and Jared's playroom downstairs. Right before it was time to leave, Mason and Ash decided to play dress up. First Mason was a pirate princess, then he was Elsa. We had a great time spending New Year's Day with family.
Most of all of Casey's family works in a school district, so we always like to get together during the holiday break, before everyone has to go back to work. Case decided it would be fun to have some fun at his school. We invited everyone for a pizza party and games. We ordered pizza and breadsticks from Zubs Pizza and I brought a salad bar. Everything was delicious. After dinner a few of the girls (everyone except me and Roz) played basketball with the boys. We had a fun evening!!
With both Mason and Tanner being sick most of the month of December and into January, I was in need of some much needed mom night out time. So I called my best friends (my sisters) to hang out. We decided to do a craft night. Garrett had made us these cute Easter egg decorations. Meg, Lin, Myrn, and I had already arrived, and we were just waiting for Stacy (Amy and mom unfortunatly couldn't make it). As we were waiting for Stacy we decided to get started on our craft. Soon Myrn got a text from Stace that said Daniel had met her at Smith's to switch cars and give Daniel the kids and took both sets of car keys with him, needless to say she was stranded at Smith's. So Lin, Myrn, Meg, and I hoped into Mer's car and we went and got her. When we got back to Myrn's, a police car was parked next to Meg's car. Come to find out Meg had accidently (I would of easily made the same mistake) parked in front of someone's driveway (it was really hard to tell it was someone's drive way, it just looked like a fence). I guess Myrn's neighbors and super grumpy and they ended up calling the police about it. In the end Meg got a ticket, but it sure made for an adventrous night. Although the events of the night are quite what we expected, we still had a great time makeing our craft together and we are even going to make sister's night a monthly thing!!
We had plans to go to Disneyland in the begining of February, but with all the measles cases that kept coming up and since Tanner would not be immunized yet, we decided that we better not take the risk. I was completly heart broken since some of my family members were going. I just kept visualizing Mason's face when he saw Disneyland for the first time, which made me even sadder about not going. Casey cheered me up by making our own Disneyland in our own home. Mason and Tanner loved being able to ride "Indiana Jones," "Splash Mountain," and more. Hopefully we'll really be able to take Mason and Tanner to Disneyland after Tanner is immunized.
I came across these pictures of Mason and Tanner that were taken back in November. Mason sure loves spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Mecham.
Casey hates Phase 10, but played it with me anyways. After playing all 10 phases, Casey won.
Casey started working at the shop for 3 hours, then taking Fridays off. When Casey is working from 5:30-7 I have to come up with some creative things to do while he's gone. This particular day I took the boys to the scrapbook sale. They loved riding in the cart together.
One day Mason climbed up on a chair, then onto the counter, then onto Tanner's high chair to feed him is water.
Ry and Meg came over one night to play games. Mabel and Mason had so much fun playing together.
Casey GRADUATED at the end of December with his bachelors in Technology Management. He worked so hard to graduate and we couldn't be more proud of him.
