Snowbowl '10

It's become somewhat of a tradition. We go to see the Warren Miller Show at Gammage (thanks to my in-laws!)in Dec. It's there that we get our coupons for a free lift ticket to Snowbowl on a weekday in January.
Thanks to Aunt Sarah who watched the kids allll daaaay looong so that we could go together!

The Big 2!

Poor little Cus didn't have much of a celebration this year. But, what does he care? He got a new toy and the remains of the Valentine cake that Ryan got for me! That's right, he's blowing candles out on a half eaten cake, several days past his really birthday...
I just wasn't feeling well, due to the pregnancy. That's right, for those of you who don't know, I'm due in September!

Year of the Tiger

The Chinese New Year is a HUGE celebration here in AZ!
No, really Ryan and I were at an international grocery store that we like to get a few supplies at every now and then, when we saw signs for a Chinese New Year Celebration! So, a few days later we brought the boys back so that we could see the Dragon Dancers.




The Dragon went up and down each isle of the grocery store while all the spectators squished up next to the shelves!

The dragon would jump up to eat vegetables that were hanging from each isle's sign.


This was definitely more fun that celebrating Valentine's Day.
Although, Ryan did get me some flowers!

Eli Turned the Big 5!

Eli wanted to have a Batman party. I'm pretty cheap and don't like to go crazy for birthday parties. This was inexpensive and the boys had so much fun!

We played games,

(Batman Obstacle Course, Shoot the Batman Villains w/ Nerf Guns & Batman Dodgeball)

opened presents

&

ate cake with ice cream.
