Abby is now a TEENAGER. Happy Birthday!

Abby had her birthday today. Her day started out with breakfast (she said she didn't want breakfast in bed because she doesn't want to get food on her blankets). We made her favorite breakfast...crepes! She also got presents, but not the desired puppy...not going to happen.

When asked what she wanted to do on her birthday, she said she wanted to have dinner as a family...aaaahhhhhhhhhh! We went to a Japanese steak house and had fun watching the chief cook the food using a lot of fire.

We left Jackson home with a babysitter and realized that eating out was A LOT easier. We almost hate to admit it, but it was also much more enjoyable. Give Jackson a couple of years and I am sure he will get over throwing his food as far as possible (he does have a very good arm!).

Grace was close on the shrimp toss, but it was just off the mark.

That night, Abby invited some friends over for a late night/sleepover. We are expecting very little sleep from them tonight.

Oh, I should mention that they still like to put wierd marks on their faces. Don't know why, but hopefullly it will keep the boys away.

Jason's mountain bike ride on the White Rim Trail

Jason decide to do a ride with friends that was 103 miles of rough terrain. He made 60 of those miles and then was greatful for the truck pulling lunches and water. Next year he will get training and make the entire grueling trip! The entire ride looked like a scene out of a John Wayne movie!

This was a rock bridge. There were people who could actually ride across the bridge, but if you sneezed, you would exerience a 1000 foot drop.

The ride was like starting at the top of the grand canyan on eventually getting to the water, only to go back up again. A lot of the ride was along the rim of the canyone and there were great views!

A quick picutre video of our Cabo trip this week.

Family night at the Dinosaur Museum

Since the Dinosaur Museum is only 10 minutes away from our home, it makes a great place for the kids to hang out and explore.

Jackson loves the museum. In fact, if you turn your back for a second, he will take off and me lost. We think he waits till we turn and sprints away.

Grace is nice and poses for dad!

Lilly is always playing the actor.

Jackson was in awe of the entire place.
