Back on the Bandwagon
Well after a three month hiatus we are finally making time to get back to the blog. Winter has been full of lots of snow, friends, cousins, school and fun. Here are some new pictures of the kids from Winter, Christmas, Mark's Birthday etc. Enjoy.

Cousins
7/3 Cael and Cordon
Carter, Lincoln, & Cael 10/31HALLOWEEN 2008
Our first Halloween in UT since 2003 did not disappoint. The weatherman had us tricked into thinking it was going to be warm and well, Vegas like. It wasn't, but it was very festive and fun!
Trick or Treating! The older three went with some friends with chaperons Mark and Frank. They went for a while before it got dark, got cold, rained and generally lost all appeal. Try as I might, I could not talk them into going out again to get ME more candy ;)
Lindsey and Maddie making spudnuts. They were delicious as usual, but they don't look as pretty as other peoples (namely Dixie Page). We found out delivering them to the Page's that it's their Halloween tradition as well. It's a good thing I have high self-confidence, because otherwise I'd have been totally humiliated by my idol, Dixie. :) We traded donuts which might end up being a tradition as well!
Mark is a fantastic jack 'o lantern carver. The kids put in their requests and Mark goes to work. Bet you can't guess which one is Madi's? Payton chose the Long Horn; Jono went with the Pack. This year we made the boys put forth a real effort to dig out the seeds. "Ew, their slimy. My hands are getting dirty." We just laughed as it dawned on them that this was part of the job description. 
The Ward Party was the only picture I had of Cael as a little Lion. We had thrown around the idea of dressing him up as Kale (think green and leafy), but as time would have it, he ended up a very cute lion. I'll be cropping out Madi and Jono for the scrapbooks, but thought you'd get a kick out of their faces like I did!
THE LARSEN COUSIN'S Halloween party! All 23 plus one yet to be born. Molly and kids hosted and everyone had a great time!

Madison's THREE!
"...it's my party and I'll cry if I want to." Too much attention and wanting Hot Cocoa fueled the short burst of tears right as we were singing to her!
Madison had a fun birth-week celebration. It started with Grandma/pa Ogden fulfilling her dream of cowboy boots. We took a trip to Brown's Boots in Richfield where she picked them out herself. A little disclaimer: I did a little dissuading from the pointy toed, silver jeweled beauties - so not practical for the everyday wear that they are getting. Lisa and Chet bought her the pink cowboy hat and let her keep the change. She's always been a cowgirl at heart, but now she looks the part. Thank you so much!
Sunday, her actual birthday, we had the Larsen's and David to a birthday party. Due to the FOOT of snow we had in our backyard, we changed our plans from a Sundae Bar to a Hot Chocolate Bar. She loved her presents, but the highlight was that her cousins came to play with her. Payton made her a "hammer" which is what she told Grandma about 1st - you should have seen the look on his face - satisfaction, joy, love...priceless.
I made the horse cake, which took longer than I thought it would, but worth every second. Except for the second that Alexa asked, "What's her cake?" Payton answered, "It's a horse." Alexa puzzled, "Where's it's head?" All I could do was laugh! Thankfully, everyone else figured it out. Sweet Ashley even complimented the carrots, "Oooh, those are a NICE touch!"
We had a very fun, chill(y) evening celebrating our certainly darling Madison.
