January--2017

I can't believe January is here and gone.  Here is a little peek into our month of January.

1.  New Year's Day was a little bit of a bust this year.  We had plans to celebrate with family, but everyone seemed to get sick.  We had family members sick in every family so we ended up staying home on New Year's Day and celebrating with just our little family. 
2.  Tanner gave Blake his first haircut (insert shocked emoji here).  Tanner found some scissors and went to town on Blake's hair.  Thank goodness it was just his hair and not his eyes or something.  Blake seemed to handle his first haircut pretty well and his precious blond locks didn't face too much damage.
3.  Monster Jam was a huge hit with the boys this year!  They were both glued up to the very end when Mason fell asleep.  Tanner especially loved every minute of the Monster Jam this year.  His favorite monster truck was Zombie. 
We started our fun outing by taking Blake to Myrn's house.  Her and mom switched off watching Blake for us.  After dropping off Blake we drove up to Salt Lake and went to eat at Crown Burger.  They give free valet parking to the arena if you eat there, so that is exactly what we did.  After lunch we walked over to the arena.  Casey got us Dippin Dots and we were ready for the show to start.  The monster trucks that were at the show:  Mohawk Warrior, Zombie, Grave Digger, Monster Mutt Dalmatian, El Toro Loco, Max D, NEA Police, and Scooby Doo.  Mason's favorite monster truck was NEA Police because it was blue. 
The show was great.  Very entertaining and we even had awesome seats.  We are excited to take the boys next year.

5. Mason loves doing quiet time with Casey on Sunday afternoons.
6.  One Sunday we stayed home for dinner.  It was just our little family. After dinner we made a little obstacle course for the boys to go through.  We said the green crate paper was lasers and they couldn't touch the lasers, or they had do start at the very beginning again.  It was fun watching the boys find ways to get through the different lasers. When they got to the end they had a yummy cinnamon roll treat waiting for them.  The  boys loved this activity. 

7.  Oh Blakey we love you!

8.  It snowed and snowed for a few days straight.  When it stopped snowing we took the boys over to grandma and grandpas and pulled them in the tube behind the 4-wheeler. They loved every minute of it.
