Snow Day!

School was cancelled due to the mass amount of snow we got so we took full advantage of the snow day.

All dressed and ready to go!

Mason and Gavin making snow angels

I love the dark and white contrast of the snow on the trees in the winter

We got a lot of snow last night!

The snow was so deep Gavin would sink almost a foot when he would lay down to make one

We hooked the sled up to the 4 wheeler and pulled the kids all over the neighborhood. Anytime we would see any kids out we would stop and pick them up. At once point we had 2 adults and 3 kids on the 4 wheeler and 6 kids on the sled, that's 11 people!! I'm sure we were breaking all kinds of rules and laws, but it was a blast! 

We grabbed Bundy's, Beck's, Voda's, Lords, Lewis's, and some other random kid that we didn't know but his mom said it was ok. We even had the neighbors dog on with us! We went out once in the morning and again in the afternoon and probably would've went that night if it didn't get dark so early.

Tammy invited us over for hot cocoa and fresh out of the over chocolate chip cookies when we were done the second time and it totally hit the spot! I seriously live in the coolest neighborhood with the funnest people ever!

Last night the snowplows came through the neighborhood and made a huge pile of snow in the cul-de-sac so Gavin and I took the sled over for some fun while the two little ones were napping (don't worry they were frequently checked on and I was less than 100 yards way).

I climbed up to the top to help him hold his sled while he went down over and over and over again.

Guess Who Has a Loose Tooth?

Gavin!!

We are hoping it falls out completely this next week because daddy will be pull home. Maybe we will have to help it along!

I-Jump

My sister invited us to I-jump with her on Thursday afternoon. We had never been before and the kids had so much fun. They were so sad when it was time to go,but they took great naps that day!

 Mason kept bringing me all the balls he could find. I had a pretty good stash. We threw them all back to him and he was laughing so hard.

 Gavin was so excited to show me that he found the trampoline under all the foam blocks

I discovered how to take multiple shots in a row in on my camera that I have owned for over a year. They are pretty fuzzy because I was sitting on a trampoline but enjoy!

Life this week

I found this on my front porch the other morning

 I'm pretty sure it was crying because it had been abandoned.

 The kids and I made it a Hawaiian friend and we took it back were it came from: The Lewis'. After they found it we gathered them both up and delivered them to Ashley's only she didn't get how the "game" was played and they threw them away. : ( RIP my cute little milk jugs.

 I dumped out Gavin's bag of "treasure's" just to see what was inside. Typical boy: snakes, cars, Batman's, flashlights, airplanes, his "poofy eye" puppy and daddy's Miami Dolphins hat. (I started crying when I saw that in there. I wish his daddy could be home more.)

 We got our first letter from Cody's brother, ELDER Fry : )

 Two words: TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!

Our good friend Oliver celebrated another "29th" birthday. Liz had us all meet at Puerto Vallarta's to surprise him.

20 minutes

I always put Mason and Chloe in the toy room while shower because they literally get into everything!! The toy room is no longer an easy option either.

20 minutes = Destroyed toy room + no pajamas + no diapers

 I heard them giggling when I got out. This is what I found. They had both taken their pajamas AND diapers off and were "taking a baff (bath)" in one of the toy basins they emptied.

P.S. The toy room was SPOTLESS when I put them in there. 

P.S.S. I locked them in the bathroom with me while I finished getting ready. They both had their toothbrushes and were suppose to be brushing their teeth but when I turned around I found Mason putting my conditioner in his hair! These two are EXHAUSTING!! : )

Look out New Mexico!!

Connelly arrived at the MTC today and will be heading to New Mexico the end of next week. He is the first male Fry to serve a mission. We are all so proud of him!

The kids last picture with Uncle Connelly

When he gets back Gavin will be almost 8, Mason almost 5 and Chloe will be 4. I had the boys stand up for the picture so we can compare when he gets back.

All of us with Uncle Connelly

Cody is sooo proud of his little brother!!

Connelly and Cody

This picture makes me cry seeing Cody cry. He is really going to miss Connelly. The two of them talk sports non-stop.  Cody said that he didn't know if he was crying because Connelly was leaving or because he was going to have to root for the Bronco's and Laker's for Connelly while he was gone. : )

See you in two years Connelly!!

Chloe's Birthday Party

We finally had a party for Chloe on the 10th (only 9 days late but we had to wait for Cody to be home). Since our house is super small and our families are super large we had to have it at Pink Eye Palace (Leo's). 

I asked Chloe what kind of cake she wanted and I  thought for sure she would say monkey, but she said "E bug!! (ladybug) I designed it, but it was Cody's idea to do pink and brown instead of black and red and I think it turned out so cute!!

Chloe and her "E-bug"

Singing "Appy Suey" to Chloe

 She was all excited to blow out the candle until we told her to do it and then she didn't want to

She put her arms behind her back and just stood there so big brother Gavin helped her out and blew out her candle

We had planned on getting her a kitchen set from Sam's Club but they were all gone by the time we got there so Cody picked out this SUPER AWESOMELY LEGIT tricycle instead, good job daddy! I wish they had it in my size!

Her very first My Little Pony from Aunt Karen

I forgot about getting pictures until the end, but she was spoiled. She got cute outfits from G&G B, a butterfly rug for her room from G&G Fry, books, toys, a homemade picture frame and candy from others. She was so spoiled!

This is what she really wanted, a cupcake!

She didn't waste anytime getting on her new "bike" and she even let Mason hitch a ride with her.

A close up of Chloe's cake

I had a lady at Leo's come and gawk at the cake. She was asking me how I made it and what was what and even asked if she could take pictures of it. I have to admit it made my day!

Lady bug cupcakes

Riding the bike again the next day. They kept taking turns driving, so cute!
