Well, we had one day of warmth last Sunday and it felt so good to be outside with our family. It was nice to just be outside...
Bennett and Gabers came over the other night while their parents attended a funeral. Here is a tub full of dudes...
We have no idea where Mason was when Matt took these pics of Max and Mackay... 
Mason started last week out with occasional stomach ache. They would come and go and the whole time we were thinking he just had a normal tummy ache. Well one night he was up every 1.5 hours for 20 minutes at a time curled over in pain screaming. The next morning we took him up to Primary Childrens. They were first worried about appendicitis or a hurnia. But those checked out ok. He never needed to throw up and there wasn't any diarrhea, so we really couldn't figure out what was wrong with the little guy. The hospital was crazy busy so we were there all day long. We finally got sent home after an enema (ya not fun). Of course as soon as we got home the severe pain started again. This time Matt took him up and they ran more tests. They had to run an IV which Mason was very brave with. The wonderful tech blew through both veins on both hands before she had a RN come in and get it right within 5 seconds. Poor kid was a pin cushion, but can't blame the tech as it wouldn't be a fun job at all. The the new blood work and tests came back clean. The DR. thinks that Mason was experiencing gastrointestinolitus (spelling :/ ) But that was just a guess and we didn't really find out what it was. We were finally released from the hospital around 3am. The pain in Mason's stomach gradually went away over the next couple days. Here are some pics of Mason at the hospital. We are SO glad that he is ok. 
Maxwell had some friends on his bed the other day and ended up breaking the rail. So Matt had to build another one. He had Max go with him to the shop and help him repair his own bed. Max loved it. His favorite part was working in the spray booth...
January has been crazy fun. This is what's we've been up too.

Saturday we headed up to Park City. We signed the kids up for ski school with Park City Resort. As we were driving up there we passed the big half pipe at the resort and Maxie said "Oh I wish I could do that..." Well, something got messed up when I made the reservation online and I accidentally signed them up for snowboarding - The boys were stoked about it. They both did GREAT! They went out with a small class for 4 hours. The instructor said they did awesome and were naturals. We have 4 more classes to go can't wait!
Our baby is now 7. Can't believe it. On each of our kids birthday we sit them down and go over the days events leading up to their birth. They are always really amused and listen intently. Mason's birth was awesome! My water broke 2 weeks before the due date and Mason was the smallest baby we've had. Matt and I are both the older sibling in our family so we know what kind of job that is. Mason is a perfect oldest sibling. He is so caring and good to his little brothers. Mason has really developed a love for music and is doing well in piano - we are so thrilled.
We combined Mason and Maxwell's birthday this year again. We went to the Classic Fun Center in Layton. I can honestly say that the place turned into a CRAZY house. We purposely called ahead to find out which day would be the least crowded. They told me Tuesday - so we booked it. Anyway, I wish they would have told me that Tuesday is '2 dollar Tuesday'. And they had some school field trips there as well. I was so disappointed. But Matt reminded me that the kids had a BLAST - and that's all that matters. They really did have fun! Thanks to all his friends that came!
On Mason's actual birthday we let him go to Kangaroo Zoo - had a blast there like always.
For Matt's birthday Matt was able to to what he loves - go snowmobiling. And I was lucky to be invited to go with him. We headed out New Years day with the sleds and went to Monte Cristo. We sleded our guts out with our friends and my brother Scooter and his wife Brittney. We were nervous because it was Scooter and B's first time on a snowmobile. After a couple of tip overs, they got the hang of it. It was really cold but way fun. After we were done sledding we headed to the Alaskan Inn in Ogden canyon. What a fun place. We checked in and then headed to Ogden to eat dinner. We ate at Sonora Grill (very good food!) We then headed back to the inn to hang out. Scooter brought up some sweet movies.
We each had our own little cabin that was cozy, warm and nicely decorated.
