Hollywood Connection

Some of the Curtis dads were able to take a long lunch due to Martin Luther King Day, so we decided to go to Hollywood Connection. The kids were so excited when Daddy surprised them and walked in, and Mommy was glad Daddy could ride all of the rides with them. Maycie and Kingston love the rides, but have most fun on the coin operated fire truck with their cousins. Maycie also loved climbing on the skeeball machines with her cousin Chasely. Kasen was content just sitting in his stroller looking at his hands and all of the lights.

And so it begins..

Maycie has already taken over my closet. She loves to go get Mommy's clothes and figure out how to put them on.... Its usually not correct. ;)

Logan time while Jess is away...

Jess went on a little golfing trip to Mesquite with his company so I took the kids up to Logan. While in Logan, we went to the Fun Center with Kelcie Carter, Grandma Karen, and the uncles. We let them play on the huge jungle jim, play some arcade games, and even played lazer tag with the Kasen. Uncle Trevor played a game with Kingston and Kingston actually won the high score on the driving game; they took his picture and it will be in the first place photo until someone beats the little guy. After a long day of fun we went home and gave the kids a bath, but Grandma Karen took it one step further and made it a "goo" bath. By pouring some powder into the tub it turned into little crystal balls that the kids could run through their fingers; it was really hard to eventually get them all off though. Uncle Trent loved playing basketball with Kingston and Maycie in the basement, and uncle Tyson loved cuddling with Kasen while he slept.

4 Months!

Kasen is 4 months and cute as ever! He loves rolling from side to side but still isn't consistently rolling over yet. He is drinking about 6 1/2 ounces of formula ever 4 hours or so, but has started to try to hold his bottle by himself. He loves sitting in his bumbo with toys and to be apart of the family at the dinner table. He has started to laugh a lot and is still constantly smiling all day long. Maycie and Kingston think he's a doll that they get to carry around whenever they want but also love kissing his head.

Movie Night

Maycie and Mommy weren't feeling very well tonight so we decided to have a movie night. We ended up making popcorn, and slush, and let the kids eat chocolate covered almonds while cuddling and watching their current favorite movie, Megamind. Maycie and Kingston sure love cuddling next to each other.

Bear Lake Trip

Our dear friends Kristin and Derek Schouten invited us to Bear Lake for a quick New Years trip. None of the kids had ever been to a cabin before so it was a very exciting/tiring weekend for them. On the way there, we stopped at Grandma Karen's to get a few extra winter clothes and some food; however, we missed the window for good driving weather. As we started into Logan canyon the snow started coming down harder and faster than I have ever seen. What should have been a 45 minute drive turned into 2 hours and 45 minutes. We pulled over several times and said several prayers, and eventually made it through. The kids were little angels the entire ride and made sure to help Daddy stay calm for Mommy's sake. We ended up getting snowed in Bear Lake and were stuck there for two days instead of just one night; lucky for us, we were stuck with good company. And while we were stuck there, the kids LOVED sharing a room with each other; they didn't go to sleep for an hour one night because they were laughing so hard. We watched movies, went swimming, went sledding, and went four wheeling. The kids loved four wheeling and it worked out really well because all five of us were small enough to fit on to one four wheeler and be close to each other. What a fun trip!

Mommy's Present Box

One of the presents I got for Christmas is a Shark steam cleaner. It turns out that the box was just as much of a hit with the kids as the steamer was for me. They played with/in this box for hours. Can you find the little feet....
