*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.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS IDAHO INVITATIONAL
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!

Fun February Birthdays!
Mom (Lajuana), Michael, Lex and Uncle Kirk all had their birthdays this month. We had a few different celebrations that weren't huge, but just a lot of fun. We Celebrated altogether at Pizza Hut!
Cyrus looks pretty good in glasses! We all went to Joe's Crab Shack to celebrate Uncle Kirk's birthday.

Cyrus uses the "Big Boy Potty"
One of Cyrus' potty books talks about frowning and smiling, and Cyrus is demonstrating his Cheesy fake smile for you. He's has been showing of his own personality more and more lately. His favorite thing about going potty is "pai-teet", or potty treat, and his second favorite thing is reading his books.
Finishing off a wonderful winter!
Soon after Christmas was over, we spent a few days in the deep, cold, two feet of snow! Cyrus had tonsilitis most of that time but he tried to lift his spirits by enjoying a little snow time and Grandpa's new record fish. Madison and Leesa came to town for MaLea's baby shower and Cyrus and Madison seemed to get along pretty well. They mostly wanted to play with the same toys and drink from the same cup. We can't wait to do it again!

Christmas time is here!
We had so much fun during Christmas here in Boise. We spent Christmas Eve at Uncle Floyd's house with his family, Grandpa Peek, Elaine's family, Yeeta's family, our whole family of course! Christmas day we went to open presents at Papaw and Mamaw's house then we had brunch at Great Grandpa and Grandma's house. Cyrus was old enough that he really enjoyed tearing open the rapping paper and discovering his fun presents!
