Nice Work If You Can Get It

Saturday, February 28, 2015

Uncle Lee got free tickets to see "Nice Work If You Can Get It" at the Smith Center. He wasn't able to go so he gave them to Camryn and I and we shared with the Shafers.

The seats were very close and were just awesome.

I had never heard of this show, but I knew a few of the songs.  It was a cute love story set in Prohibition times.

It was a fun night out with Cam.

Random things that Happened in February

Sunday, February 1, 2015

We went to Ryan's for our annual Super Bowl hang out.  We all brought snacks and we also had a steak dinner.  It was way too much food.

The boys actually watched the game. The women chatted and occasionally watched the commercials.

The teenagers hung out, including girls that think they are teenagers.

And the boys were just thrilled that Lee's family had moved back and they could be together again.

And Jude was just cute.

Seth went on a Field Trip to the Smith Center to see a play of Flat Stanley.

We went to Math & Science Night at Hummel. Seth liked making the phases of the moon with Oreos.

The Burdens threw a baby shower for Abigail. They talked me into making a dinosaur cake for the party. The Jenkins women went in together to buy a stroller, but I had Cam get the baby a little Transformers shirt.

We had a Cruise Ship themed New Beginnings this year. The gym was decorated very cute. We made little chicken salad sandwiches that looked like crabs and the girls were excited that we got goldfish crackers.

There were a few speakers and the girls performed a song.

Camryn was one of the girls they introduced as an incoming Beehive.

Jo sent us these pics to announce that she was pregnant.  The one of Jude was cute. The one of Paul was disturbing. I'll never be satisfied by another man!

On Top of the World

Wednesday, February 25, 2015

The Stratosphere was allowing locals to go to the top for free the last week of February. I told the kids we were going on a family field trip, but did not tell them where we were going. Lex had soccer and Dave is terrified height (especially the Stratosphere), so we went with the Tatums. The kids couldn't tell where we were because the tower was blocked from the parking garage. It took them a while to figure it out.

We went up the very fast elevator and checked things out from the inside.

Then we checked out the view from the outside.

We took lots of pics.

Then headed back down. We rarely do touristy things, so this was a fun outing.

Valentines Day Weekend 2105

Saturday, February 7, 2015

Dave and I went on an early Valentine's Day date. Dave had never been to Brio, so we tried that.  He was a bit tired from a scout campout the night before, but we still had a good time eating out on the patio.

Seth wanted to make a cool box to have his Valentine's delivered to in his class on Thursday.  We had made Minion Valentine's out of Twinkies, so we made a Minion Mailbox too.  It was so cute.  Dave left on Thursday for the Man Trip, but had flowers and chocolates sent to my work on Friday, which was a Staff Development Day.

Cam had been watching Parks & Rec on Netflix and got the idea to host a "Gal"entine's Day dinner, like on the show. We invited the Grandma Hill, the Aunts, and the girl cousins to go to Denny's with us (they have breakfast on the show) and we made everyone a little treat. Abigail gave out baskets of nail care products that were so cute too. Uncle Lee took the boy cousins to CiCi's for dinner.

Cam made some more of the little pies for her girlfriends and Lex made Robbie and Deanna a little package of donut holes and a little bottle of milk that said, "Donut you know I love you a hole bunch!"

Seth hosted a "Bro"mance party Saturday night. He had the boy cousins sleepover and the Metzger boys, the Tanner boys, and Joel come for games and a movie. They started by playing Telestrations and Goblet of Fire.

They did pretty pretty well with those games, but had a little bit harder time with Apples to Apples, because there were quite a few words they didn't know.

The kids frosted and decorated their own cupcakes. Kyler went a little crazy with the sprinkles.

They ended the night with a movie, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Lex had a tournament that weekend. They played well and won the most games in their bracket, but did not move on to the final game, because they didn't have the most points. It was pretty disappointing.

But, not having a final game, gave us time to go hang out at Lee's new house. They gave us a tour and let us try out their freezing swimming pool and their warm spa
.

We had a great weekend in Vegas, and Dave had a pretty awesome weekend at the cabin.

He won the holey ladle! Zach was the winner the previous year and presented it to him.
