I JUST GOT A NEW BIKE YAHOO, YAHOO, YAHOOOOOO. PICTURES COMING SOON.

Atticus' birthday celebrations

On Saturday we had Atticus' birthday party. It was so much fun. We took all the kids sledding in our backyard, but the snow was so slippery we had to stand as guards to keep kids from sledding right into the creek. We had some close calls. One little kid was about two inches away and dad had to go get her. They were having so much fun we did this for about a hour and a half! We came in and they had hot cocoa, of course with a few spills, opened presents, at cupcakes and had root beer floats.
Atticus had realllllllly wanted to have root beer floats, so the poor parents of kids who had to much sugar in their systems.
Then on Sunday we had our family celebration with cake and presents. He had a great time

my birthday

Here are some pictures of my birthday. I know this is late in coming, but I have been busy.
I had a great day, and Dad, Elias and I went to the bike shop! I didn't think I needed a new one,
but dad was unmoving. I slowly realized that I really actually did need a new one. Thursday night
we went to a contra dance. It was sooooo much fun and we met some of our friends there and just
had a blast. The last time we went there weren't as many hard dances, but this time there were two
that were complicated, and it was good thing the people are so patient.
Elizabeth, note my pj's. They are awesome, thanks again!

Atticus's inability to hold still

After Atticus practice's the piano everyday he has to read notes. He always has so much energy that he can't ever hold still.
Here are some pictures of the routine. Sorry for those who saw this post before, in its messed up state. I went back to put more pics on, and I had it put the photo's on left instead of center like I did the other ones.

Running with mom

Mom and I went on a run this snowy morning it was kinda cold,
but it was fun. Here are some pics of us on the return home.

BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

GUESS WHO WON THEIR LAST BASKETBALL GAME MAKING IT A UNDEAFEATED SEASON!
PITTSFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a really close game, and we were playing the team that we only
beat by one point last game. In the second half of the fourth quarter we were actually behind
20 to 24. We made three baskets in four minutes and won 26 to 24. It was so exciting!

sickness

Everybody is sick around here. Some of our friends have flu, a friend Elias hung-out with last night
now has strep, my friends mom and sister are recovering from flu, and we have colds. I am almost
over it, Satchel still has it, and so does Atty. Elias has just been blammed. Mom and Dad don't really
have it, but cross your fingers. Hopefully anybody reading this is in a warmer climate then where we
are. We have had some of the coldest days lately. Dad still rides his bike of course, but about a week
ago it was so cold he had to stop at a resturant to thaw his chain lube, which had frozen and wouldn't
go. Even though it is so cold, dosn't mean we have snow... we were supposed to go sledding today but
sledding on grass isn't that tempting. I am wishing for a Utah spring that starts in March instead of
at the end of April.
