Happy Birthday Howard. Howard turned 10 on May 9th, the same day as his Uncle Curtis. You are such an awesome boy Howard. We are very proud of you.
After asking Howie what he wanted for his birthday he said a long board. Of course, that is what he got!!!
Maybe he should have checked out his big brothers wounds from riding the long board down an extremely steep hill before he made a clear choice.
Good luck little buddy.....

I told the boys to give me their best look and this is what they came up with. If this is the best then ................
"I know, I'm a STUD."
It's hard looking this GOOOOOD!!!!!!
We had cake and ice cream at the house then went out to dinner at Cool Hand Luke's, so yummy! After we went to dinner we headed to the movies. Poor little Howie didn't feel well so we left the movies early, leaving Jon and Summer to party without us.
"Yes, we are CrAzY!!!!!!"
Happy Birthday Jon.
We bought this new dance video for the Wii. So much fun and such a killer workout. You forget you are exercising.

Apparently this is how Sabrina has been sleeping. This way when the light rolls in the blinds she can't tell its morning, therefore not waking up too early on a Saturday.
Sweet Dreams!!!
Last Saturday was the last day of basketball for the kids. They has a great time playing this year. Sabrina, Curtis and Howard played. This is the boys friend, Ryan.
Howard is so aggressive. The boys are such incredible players. One week they played against each other and one of the coaches told Hiram that he was like Arthur Manning, having a star on each team.
Sabrina fighting for the ball!
Howard and Curtis playing each other.
My parents came into town last Thursday. We had such a wonderful time together. They brought Makenna and Rylynn with them too.
They came from Utah. This is the beautiful winter view from the cabin my dad built. He is extremely talented.
Looks good dad.
Me and my dad.
Yes, dad let Christian drive. Are you crazy dad? 
I found some of these pictures from June 2009 when dad and mom were here last. Candi loves to sleep on her back. I'm not sure who's tap out shirt this is or why I'm wearing it. I must have put it on while cooking. Right....My mom does the cooking when she is here.
After church. Curtis couldn't wait to get in the pool..
I found this one and thought I would put it in. Curtis, Bryan, Dad, Russell and mom hitting the slopes. Nothing slows them down!! Just missing Phillip. Where are you Phil ?
You guys look great........
Scrabble..... This is an application on my IPhone. It is so much fun. It really makes the time fly while I'm waiting at appointments or for the kids during their many activities.
Friday's are Burger King day. Before school the kids have Burger King for breakfast. They can't wait for this day to come. I'm not sure why because they are not lacking in the fast food department. One perk is they are ready for school early on Friday's. 
Valentine's Day was a little different this year. Normally we disappear for a night. This time we stayed home, it was still a wonderful evening. We made heart shaped cookies and had a really nice dinner. Of course there was the truth or dare game to be played ;)
KISS ME!!!!!!!!!!
February 7th was Summer's birthday. Considering it was also the Super Bowl we had a birthday celebration / super bowl party. The decorations were also done in accordance with the day. We wanted the Colts to win so we used their colors as our theme. Blue and white. Of course, Curtis was the only one wanting the Saints to win, which they did. Smart kid.
Summer was just told a very funny joke that may not be appropriate for here. She obviously found it extremely funny.
Summer wanted meatloaf, whipped potatoes, baby carrots and french bread for her birthday dinner. She also requested peach cobbler for dessert but she insisted on making her own cake.
Summer and Inga made this really cute cake. Inga is Adriana's really sweet friend. They did a great jog. ( I think Inga did most the work. )
The other day Christian had his friends over. The weather was cold, maybe 42 degrees out. This of course would make the pool extremely cold. So what a great idea, let's strip down and get in the water. The second they hit the water the realization of what they did hit them. 
Zack swimming desperately to the side to get out.
Zach, Christian and Braden. Brett was thinking with a clear head and decided against this foolish behavior.
It was still light outside. Just a little catnap I guess.
Summer and her husband Jon live about 12 miles away. On their day off for some reason they seem to end up at our home. This has been a weekly ritual that I've come to look forward to. We usually have pizza and then it is followed with more unhealthiness....Jon's favorite, chocolate chip cookies.
