Blast off!

So there is this place in Idaho falls called Blast off that we took the kids to with Chad's sister's family all the way back in January that has all sorts of fun stuff for kids to do. I wasn't that good at getting very many pictures of it all but the kids truly did have a "blast" and we had fun chasin' them around the place.



The ball pit of wonders, they each kept getting out and standing on the edge and counting to ten and then jumping into the pit.





Mwwaahhh!



Peek-A-Boo!



Good ol' Uncle Jason.





The Tarzan swing.



Even little Caz and Jack figured out how to do it. It was cute.

This place was pretty cool though. It has this whole pretend play area with dress-ups and play food. They also have a mini-golf, arcade, laser tag and some other stuff too that I can't remember but it was pretty cool though and not too expensive. Good thing to have around during the winter months where there isn't a whole lot to do outside.

Just an FYI...

For all those who are checking in on our blog, scroll down for awhile cause I was super proactive and did three new blog posts! Yes yes they are about past events that happened at least 2 months ago but still it is quite the accomplishment for my slacker self!



I just thought this was a cute video of my tiny dancers. They are so cute when they get along. You gotta relish in those moments though they may only come once in a blue moon. :)

The Birthday Bud!

My sweet hubby, Chadder-bud celebrated his 29th b-day Dec. 26th while we were still in Boise. His birthday happened to be on a Sunday so we did not go anywhere but we did do some in home par-teying of sorts. We decorated the house while he took a nice long nap and when he woke up we had a scrumdiliumptious baby-back rib dinner! Yum. Then I made him some mini-cheesecakes and some regular cake as well so he could have the best of both worlds. From what I could tell it was good times had by all.







Ella didn't want to leave the sight of the treats, i don't know anyone more eager to partake.



Then of course we did a little present opening. He's such a cutie!

Happy Birthday bff. I am so thankful to have you in my life and by my side through the thick and the thin of it! I am truly blessed to have your humor and optimism in my life to keep things interesting around here. You are an amazing Daddy and husband and I am so glad to be sealed to you for time and all eternity. Love you forever my hubby.

Family Pics

Over the Christmas break we took some family pics together and it was quite the ordeal let me tell ya!







Mama and Papa Lamb



We each got our pic taken with them, kinda like they were Santa Claus! :)





This is pretty much the one and only pic Jack smiled in, he was not having the picture taking business!

The Boise Christmas Extravaganza!

*Don't make fun of me too much it only took me like 2 months to finally get these posted... i know, I am pathetic!

Lamb Family Christmas

We went to my family's house this year for Christmas and had some great times as always!



One of the nights up there I went to this Jazz cafe place called the "Blue Door" to have a little girl time with my Momma and my sis Mal.



They had people performing jazz numbers while you eat and I'm not a huge jazz fan but they had some awesome jazz virtuosos that were around 13 and 14 yrs old but were performing like professionals. It was quite amazing.

Birthday Dinner Out!



We went out to dinner for Mallorie (25th) and Chad's Birthday (26th) to Red Robin and it was quite a treat!



Grandpa Lamb and Ellie.



My sweet little Asian family. Ha ha ;)



My normal husband...............................................My only semi-normal hubby. Ha ha I love you Chad!



Jack gettin tired and snuggly.



Enjoyin' their birthday sundaes. Poor little Dec. birthday buddies, they are good sports about it though!


Christmas Morning!



So excited for what Santa left in their stockings. Starting early on the sugar rush.







Showing off his awesome dinosaurs he got or " monsters" as he calls them.



He had to hold them all at once of course.



Ella had the most hilarious faces and expressions as she went through the present opening charade! She was so cute and SUPER excited about everything she got which made it really fun to watch. (in these pics she was opening a magic wand I made her and she would say things like, "oh this is my favorite!" while practically hyperventilating!-so cute and funny)



Some of the siblings showing off their Christmas goods.



The Dadder and the bud playing with cars. Ella-bella on cloud nine.



Sheer joy at the gift of a new dress up princess dress!



Christmas is just so much more fun when you have little kids to watch get so utterly excited about everything.



The Dadder and the Momma so blessed with such a wonderful and generous family and our sweet amazing children we truly couldn't ask for more. Other than maybe being able to have a teleporter so we could spend half of Christmas with Chad's family as well :)



Jack Jack was so excited to get his race cars, he played with them for a whole five minutes. Ha ha



"It's what I always wanted!!!!" Direct quote, made us laugh.

I love Christmastime, spending time with family and remembering its true meaning: Christ's birth. On Christmas Eve, my mom and dad put on a devotional about Christ's birth and life. It was great to hear the family's testimony of the Savior. I am so grateful for my parents example/testimonies that have helped in developing my own testimony of the Gospel and of Jesus Christ. Hopefully some day I can be even half of the kind of parent they have been to me. Thanks again for everything, Mom and Dad. Love you always!
