Tubing at Brian Head

We usually let the kids choose something fun to do for their birthday. Bryce had talked about having his party at House of Jump or maybe going to the zoo, but then one day he was like for my birthday I want to go sledding. I decided since none of us had ever been tubing at Brian Head this would be the perfect excuse and booked our spots.
Saturday finally came and we headed out. Tanner's girlfriend Ariel came along.

After checking in and getting our tubes it was time to hit the slopes. 

You sit on your tube and it pulls you and the tube up the hill, so there is no hiking up to go down, which is super awesome.


We got to the top and got in our lanes and they counted down and that 
was it. They just pushed Bryce right down the hill. It goes super fast. I was so worried about him. We got to the bottom and I looked at him and he just had tears streaming down his face from the wind and cold and I thought "oh no". but he jumped out of his tube and said "can I please go again?" LOL



We all went time and time again until about the last 15 minutes of our session, when Bryce declared he had had enough and was ready to go back to the truck and the rest of us decided that sounded like a good idea as well.
We drove down into Parowan and got some lunch. Then Tanner and Ariel head back to St. George while the rest of us went on up to Fillmore for the weekend to visit some of our family. It was a fun little adventure. Hopefully we will be able to do it again one day.

Handy Man in Action

Even though the kids have their own bathroom they use ours a lot to get ready and stuff. I think it's partly because we have more space and a bigger mirror. Landon was getting sick of things just laying all over the counter with no sense of order  and decided to take action. He built this cool storage rack for curling irons, blow dryers, brushes and stuff. He also built an accompanying shelf to hold medicines, face products, hair products, etc. I am always amazed with the things he can think up and then just go build. He's pretty handy to have around. #handylandy


Not the Best Party Favors


 While buying supplies for Bryce's birthday party I came across these really fun foam nun chucks. I bought a couple sets to give away for game prizes. Of course I bought an extra set so Bryce could have one. I figured they couldn't hurt much since after all they were just foam. Well apparently that isn't the case when foam nun chucks and four year old child take on the blinds in the frontroom. We had just replaced them too. Life with kids is never dull. #BryceEE #fournado

Gift Card Funny

Bryce got a gift card for his Birthday so we took him to Target to let him spend it. He chose out a Paw Patrol toy (something he is really into now). After we left he was talking about other Paw Patrols he wanted to get in the future. I told him he would need to save up his allowance so he could. He said "no I will just use my gift card again". I said "well bud your gift card is all gone". He said "no it's not they gave it back to me." LOL I guess he doesn't understand that even though they gave it back there is no money left on it. He must have it confused with a debit card or something like that. LOL

4th Birthday-Ninja Turtle Party

On Friday we had a little birthday party for Bryce with some of the family. We didn't do anything too big or fancy cause he wanted to go sledding so we needed to save some funds for that.

The theme for the party was Ninja Turtles. Bryce has lots of ninja turtle toy so we used those for decorations.

 I made these cute invitations using photoshop-I am so happy I  finally learned how to use the laso tool so I can make things like this.

In true turtle style of course we had pizza. I made the sprite and water bottles into turtles.




Instead of cake we had sugar cookies that were decorated like turtle heads.





Chloe made a pin the sias on Raphael game.




Landon made an awesome pinata.






I made a punch out shredder game.




I think all of the games were a hit.
After playing games and eating it was time to open so presents.






It was a fun party for a fun boy.
