Aida and Katie turn 10

It's hard to believe that its been 10 years since these two cuties were born. 

Katie was born on Jan 26 and Aida the next day on the 27th.  They are such sweet gals!

We went to a super fun place called Funtopia.  It had every kind of climbing wall imaginable!

The kids had a great time!  The adults had almost as much fun just watching the kids.

Afterwards we went to Jamie and Emily's house for pizza, what a fun birthday!

Boys Sleepover January 2019

We had so much fun with these four goofy boys this past weekend!

We picked them all up and headed to say hi to Grandpa Cline.  He always has suckers for them.

Then we stopped at the South Jordan Library.  It is the funnest one I know of for kids.  We played for about an hour, then it was time to go.  These boys were so good to clean up the entire play area.  The librarians were VERY IMPRESSED with them!

We then went to Blocks and Minifigs, a Lego play area that's on our pass.

We decided to have breakfast for dinner, so we made pancakes and bacon.  Then watched a Paw Patrol movie we checked out from the library, read the books and went to bed.

The next morning we had duck toast and cereal before heading to Classic Fun Center for some fun.

We got there about 10:30 and didn't realize it didn't open until 12:00 on Saturdays, because of several birthday parties.  The boys played video games for a while, while we waited.  

As you can see, I did a Walmart run and bought them matching shirts so we could keep track of them.

Grandma Cline is only a few minutes away from Classic, so we decided to stop by and say hi to her and Olivia while we waited for Classic to open.

Since we knew they would be hungry soon, we hit Burger King on our way back to Classic. They had a great time there bouncing and playing.

 Before we knew it, it was time to pack up their bags and head to Funtopia to meet their families to celebrate Aida and Katie's 10th birthdays.  What a fun time we had!

New Year - clean up and redecorate

I decided it was time to redecorate my bathroom.  I've had the same things on my walls for at least 10 years and was getting tired of it.  I took down the shelves and pictures, got a new shower curtain, rugs, plaque and clock and gave it a new look.

I've also been cleaning out cupboards and taking stuff to DI.

So far, filled the van twice with stuff we don't use.

I cleaned out our furnace room that was filled with porcelain doll body parts. 

I got rid of tons of decorations I haven't used in years.

I organized my closet and got rid of some clothes I never wear

Temple night with our Big Girls

Friday night was a special night for us.  Lani and I were able to take my 3 oldest granddaughters to the Draper Temple to do baptisms for the dead. We were so excited when they announced that the girls turning 12 during this year, could get their temple recommends starting in January.  Molly got hers and went to the Timpanogos temple with her mom and dad last weekend.  

Lani invited us to go with her and have a sleepover this weekend.

Draper is another BEAUTIFUL temple!

We had so much fun with these sweet girls.  After the temple we watched Princess Diaries II in Lani's awesome family room.  The next morning we had a yummy breakfast and then the girls and I helped Lani clean her church.  It went pretty quickly with so many helpers.  

Such a fun sleepover, thanks Lani!  She is definitely, the hostess with the mostess!

Grandpa Cline's 90th birthday party

On January 11th, Grandpa Cline turned 90 years old.  We got together with Wanda's family and threw him a fun birthday party. 

Here's everyone in our family, except Matt and Sophie who were too sick to come.

Grandpa's sister Janice and lots of her family were there.

I printed off 70 pictures with grandpa in them, and we made this crazy backdrop with balloons and the pictures.  Mike and Steven with grandpa

We forgot to count, but as close as we could figure, there were around 125-150 people there.

He invited lots of people from his ward as well as all the family.

We had tons of yummy food

Some of our granddaughters

It was a great celebration!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!
