Birthday

Isaah turned the big 12 last week. I can't believe he is that old. He had his favorite dinner and spent the day with his family. The girls convinced me to let him open his presents the night before. Here is a few things about him, I had him answer some of these questions for me for the scrapbook.

His favorite color is ORANGE
He likes french toast for breakfast
Christmas is his favorite holiday
He loves to watch Psych on tv
He is best at running track
If he could go anywhere in the world it would be Russia
favorite book is the Hunger Games
Roast, Mashed potatoes and gravy is his fav. for dinner
3rd Harry Potter is his movie
if he had one wish it would be to have $10,000 dollars
Favorite song is Party in the Local Park
What sport do you enjoy the most? Football, baseball
He does not like Pork Chops
When he grows up he wants to be a Cop
Band is his favorite subject in school

I thought it was fun to see his perspective on things. He is exciting to go into young mens in church. For scouts they get to go on a few campouts each month so he is very excited about that. He loves camping and scouts. He is still playing the alto sax and piano.

The cast

The three girls like to run around crazy right before bedtime. We keep telling them somebody is going to get hurt. Somebody finally did. Paige tripped and fell and said she bent her toe all the way back. Well I called the Dr. the next day and got her in. Sure enough she broke her big toe between the 1st and 2nd joint down vertically. So she gets to be in a cast for 3 weeks. When you look at the xray it looks like a shadow that goes straight down.

Paige was so excited about her shirt they gave her. She couldn't wait to wear it. We were all surprised that she wanted the lime green cast. I thought for sure she would have gotten the hot pink on.

Piano Recital

The twins had their first piano recital last month. They did so good! All the kids did great. It is fun to hear them and see them succeed at something that they have been working hard at. Isaah earned the Chopin award. He had to memorize a certain number of songs and pass off different skills. Way to go!

1st Time

We took the girls skiing for their first time a few weeks ago. They loved it. After a few times on the bunny hill Madi wanted something harder. Isaah had been skiing a few times already so he took off on his own for some fun. Talli and Paige really enjoyed it. Paige tried venturing off the bunny hill once but she just preferred to stay with me their. I did venture off once with Madi and she told her dad not to ski with me (I am NOT a good skier). Paige and I are quite the pros on the bunny hill. Talli loved going skiing with Chad off the lift. Madi and Isaah even went down a harder hill with Chad. Chad better watch out his kids are going to end up being better at skiing than he is.
Talli and Chad on the lift. (Chad had told her when her feet touch the ground that's when you get off. Well her feet never touched the ground and he had to pull her off the lift as it started back around. HAHA! But that didn't stop her)

If you click on the picture you can see Madi, Talli, Isaah and Chad.

Isaah, the one picture he let me get.

Skiing isn't complete without a snack in the lodge. We could sit here and watch everyone ski.
