"Is it about time for Rapunzel?"

A few weekends ago we were able to go to a cabin in Heber with Brad's sister and her family.  It was a fun and much needed family vacation.  We had a great time relaxing and visiting.

We went on a little hike to the top of the hill near the cabin.  This hike took us a lot longer than it did back in September when we did it because we would hike a little and then sled a little, and then hike some more and then sled some more.  Toward the end, most of the kids were tired and Brad ended up pulling them in the sled the rest of the way.  He's super strong!

Grandma and Grandpa Godfrey sent Aleah and Cade a Valentine.  It was so sweet!  In their Valentines there was a dollar bill.  We finally found some time the other night to go to the Family Dollar so that they could choose a gift.

Aleah choose stamps.  On the way home she said, "I will share my stamps with Cade because he doesn't have any."  She is so thoughtful that way, always remembering to share with her brother!  When we got home she said, "I'm so thankful that we have stamps, we never had stamps before!"

Cade choose a cute little monkey friend.  He is really in to the color orange.  I got him a new jacket the other day and he also choose the orange one.  It's his favorite color right now.

This last Saturday we got to go on a family date to Disney on Ice!  Aleah and Cade were so excited!  The week leading up to it Cade and I had the same conversation every morning:

Cade: "What day today is?"

Me: "Today is Tuesday!"

Cade: "Oooohhhh, but why?  Why today is Tuesday?  Why today not Saturday?!"

Brad got us excellent seats.  I don't know what it is, but my kids never look at the camera long enough to get the picture.  Sometimes I can catch one of them, but never both!

First they did Tiana, then Cinderella and they finished with Rapunzel.  Aleah and Cade love the movie Tangled and so they were really excited to see Rapunzel and Eugene.  Half way through Cinderella they had intermission.  Aleah was very confused and kept asking, "But why does Cinderella need a break?"  After the intermission she kept asking, "Is it about time for Rapunzel?"

They were right to be excited about Rapunzel, it was by far the best part of the show!  It was amazing to watch Maximus, the horse.  Cade was super excited when he came out.  We loved it!

The snow is all melted and we are now reminded, each day when we look out our windows, that our yard is full of rocks!  We were also reminded of the sand pile!  Yay, we have been having a lot of fun playing in the sand these last few days.
