Last night was the Blue and Gold Banquet and Dylan and Joel were supposed to decorate a cake for a contest. Dylan decided he wanted to make an eyeball cake so I baked the cake and left it to Dylan and Joel to decorate... I think it turned out alright. :) They didn't win the grand prize but he did win the "biggest eye opener" award. He was happy with that.
Christian is in to EVERYTHING these days... if I can't hear him for a while and he's being too quiet I know I better go find him because it cannot be good. Today he was playing with a marker (luckily it was a washable one) and decided to try and eat it. He also got it all over his hands. Ever since he turned one and started walking (the day after his birthday) he has turned into a menace! He is a crazy baby and loves to squeal, scream, and babble just for fun. What a sweetheart though... we are lucky to have him! He is a lot of fun. :)
My friend Skye is a photographer and is doing this thing called "Project 52" where each week during a year's time you take a photo of yourself with one of your kids. This is because she said she is behind the camera 99% of the time and hardly has any pictures of her and her kids together. She challenged others to do it as well, and I think it is a great idea. I went through my kids' photo albums the other day and I am hardly in any of their pictures because I am usually the one taking them. Also, I really hate pictures of myself. The photo below was my attempt at holding the camera and taking the picture at the same time... Kait looks like she has a lamp on her head, but that's okay. Next time I will try to have somebody else the picture. Anyway, I think it's a fun idea so we'll see what kind of shots we can get. :) I probably won't be posting all of them, just a few here and there... we don't need to see THAT many pics of me. 
The kids and I went down to St. George for the weekend to visit Grandpa and Grandma Anderson since they are staying down there during the cold winter months. They had a great time swimming, watching movies, playing games, and more swimming. Grandma had all their favorite foods and treats too... Thanks for having us down! I'm sure grandma and grandpa are all tuckered out after spending 48 hours with these 4 wild kids. :)
