Ode to my two Loves!

***THE BEST TWO BOYS***

Don't you know I've had ...CANDY... since EASTERS!

Yesterday we went to breakfast and had an Easter egg hunt with "Papaw" and "Mamaw". Cyrus understood what was happening this year, so he had so much fun! Uncle Kirk and Aunt Yeeta loaded him down with Easter gifts! Uncle Kirk asked to make sure it was okay to give him a chocolate bunny. Little did we know it was a ONE POUND chocolate bunny!


Today he woke up and we gave him his Easter basket. He thought that was pretty awesome. He has more sugar than we would let him eat in a month, although he would eat it all in one day if he had the chance!

We ate Easter dinner today at Great Grandma and Grandpa Bassett's house. Cyrus had tuns of fun playing with his "cousin" Jack, and pretty much everyone else in the entire world, because they were almost all there!

Stomach Flu

Wow it's been a long week already. Just had to tell you all of our miserable misfortune. All three of us have the stomach flu. Lex caught it a little later than Cyrus and I, but it's still lingering. Other than a sore bottom, Cyrus has had high spirits and high energy despite the sickness, and despite the lack of energy Lex and I have had. Lucky us, right?!? See for yourself...

Mommy and Daddy Sick

VS.

SUPER CYRUS SICK!

Baby JORDYN is here!

No prejudice here, this baby is GORGEOUS!

For the most part everyone agrees that Jordyn has MaLea's beautiful looks and personality! Just wait until you see her, you couldn't agree more!!!

Although she was a few weeks early, we were able to see her and hold her in the hospital. I think everyone fell head-over-heels for her. Cyrus is in love with his new little cousin and has already had the chance to hold her.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS IDAHO INVITATIONAL

*SO MUCH FUN*


Petter (left) and Eric (right) are athletes from Sweden and they stayed with us for 3 days before the invitational games. We did so many fun things while they were here that I can't possibly write about all of them. We made pizzas, toured some of downtown Boise, went to an AMAZING hoedown at Bogus Creek Outfitters, did so many fun activities at the historical museum, including lassoing a cow and tying quilts and so many other things.



Petter and Eric did really well in their events. Petter got a gold medal in both of his events; the Super G and the Giant Slalom. WOW! Eric took bronze in the Giant Slalom and fourth place in the Suger G. As you can imagine, we were so excited about that.



Just yesterday they flew back to Sweden, and we already miss them.
We learned some fun new things from them, because Petter is the "ROCK AND ROLL KING"! He know all the artists and song titles for every 70's-90's Rock song that played on the radio. As you can imagine, Lex had a lot of fun doing that!
Eric was so fun to be around, and had so much energy (when he was feeling well). He LOVED KARAOKE singing, and LOVED to dance, and as you can imagine, I had a lot of fun doing that!
Actually, everything was a blast the entire time!
We had so much fun getting to know them and everyone else we were so fortunate to spend time with. We hope that we will be given the opportunity to volunteer again next year during the big games.

Ready for the Snow!

The cutest boy ever, huh?

Cyrus got himself dressed to go out and play in the snow. I obviously wasn't watching when he put his pants ans gloves on all by himself, but he did a pretty fabulous job!

He keeps us on our toes, that's for sure!

What a good little helper

Putting the silverware away is Cyrus' favorite clean up time!

Grandpa Case says that Cyrus is going to be just like Papaw Bassett because he is always tinkering with things and trying to fix everything! I think he's right!

Back tracking to January

We didn't mean to forget the good ol' month of January. Aside from everything about life that kept us busy, Mike Reid took our pictures at the Train Depot, and we love them so much!



THANKS MIKE! I wanted to put some of them on here so that any of you who haven't seen them can just see what a great job he does. Click on the link to his website to see lots of other great pictures. alloutdoor.smugmug.com

Even more Birthday fun....

We had some fabulous cheese cake at Mark's and MaLea's new house to celebrate Lex's birthday some more and also (mostly) because we love cheese cake. haha...




Mark and MaLea have worked so quickly to get things put away and set up before baby Jordan comes. She will be born this coming tuesday, March 4th. We can't wait to post some more wonderful pictures about that. HOW EXCITING!
