Double Digits

I still haven't wrapped my head around the fact that Ashtyn is ten!  I don't know how it happened but I guess I get to face reality.  She requested Orange Julius for breakfast so Scott actually got up early and made a few batches for everyone to enjoy.
 We let her open her gifts before school.  She got Pixos, wimpsy pets, an oragomi book and a new set of Scriptures and a body pillow.
 All of the kids are distracted by Curios George on tv.  Ha ha

We also let the kids eat cupcakes for breakfast (gasp!)

 At school we delivered balloons and a treat and then after school we took her to Wingers.
 I had to throw this shot in of Macy for memories sake.  She hasn't been feeling too well and was soooooo grumpy while we were there.  She ran away and was trying to hide from us to show her disgust.
 Grandma and Grandpa Ricks show up at Wingers to give Ashtyn her gifts.  They gave her a summer outfit, new earrings and a card game. 
 After dinner the plan was to go to Mars Needs Moms at the Theatre but out of all the days they had canceled the show for some stupid BYU game (yes, I used stupid and BYU game in the same sentence)  We had to think fast and the next best option was to let the kids do arcade games.  See how thrilled Macy is to be on this ride?  She was terrified!
We got pretty good at Skiball and all the kids were able to buy a few dorky toys to bring home from all the tickets we earned.  There was a lady there that was earning thousands of tickets playing one game.  I have never seen anything like it.  Lets just say she was able to buy the PS3 with all of her points she earned. Too bad she probably spent $600 to get her $300 game.  LOL.  It was a great day.  Happy Birthday Ashtyn.  We love you.

For Memory Sake, here are a few things about Ashtyn D.

  • Her favorite food is Popcorn
  • Her favorite candy is pixie sticks
  • Favorite Movie is Despicable Me
  • Her favorite color is blue

  • Would rather chill with the adults than play with kids
  • She loves to ride horses with Grandpa in the mountains
  • She likes to read
  • She likes to pester her siblings! (she is fighting me on this one)
  • She has a very cute giggle, she is funny, silly and goofy.

{Valentines Day}

I left my camera at my Mom's house so this if the first I have had a chance to blog about our 2011 Valentines. As usual we had our Vday Hotel stay and the kids enjoyed some swim time. Every Monday we have FHE out at my parents house and this year Valentines landed on Monday so we spent Valentines out there. I was in charge of the meal that night so I decided to go fancy and make Chicken Cordon Bleu,salad and asparagus. We also had fancy pink drinks and ate via candlelight. It was a fun evening acting all fancy for a change.
I am too lazy to label all the photos so I will just explain, some are of the hotel stay, some are of their Vday gifts, and some from the dinner. Enjoy the love...
