The day started with a grumpy birthday girl. (We have had a really bad cold going around the house and Reagan caught it! So we tried to make her happy, and the best way I know how to do that with my kids is BRIBERY! So off to get donuts for breakfast!!! She loves going into the store and picking out which one to smear all over her face! Then we were planning a trip to the zoo (surprise!) but it was only about 31 degrees outside and I changed course to the closest McD's. On the way there Mama and Bepa called to sing "Happy Bithday" to her. That made her Smile! After Lunch, I still insisted on nap time so I could get some presents wrapped! I was just finishing up setting out all the presents on the Tinker table cover, when William came down and asked " Why I did this with out a helper?" (oops) so I let William and Reagan help with the cupcake decorating.... I am surprised there was enough frosting left for the cupcakes.(it was close!) Dad came home with Pizza (at Reagan's request) and the mail. Reagan was so excited there was mail for her! In it, was a card from Mema and Bepa, but she calls it her "Birthday Book" ! ( love the tongue!) After dinner, was Presents! She was so funny, every present she opened she had to get down from her chair and run around the other side of the table to show Daddy! This was her trying to get daddy to put her new dress on. TOO CUTE! She was so excited to get a new rocking chair and a new special Blanket from Gma Willis! It was the perfect set up to watch the new movie William had picked out for her. A New Baby doll, and a pretty new dress w/shoes, and a tinkerbell poster, she was spoiled rottten! (We even got Dad to watch the Barbie movie!)

(sorry don't know how to turn the video) ENJOY!

We love you Reagan, Happy Birthday!

Reagan will be 2...

My baby girl! Well not so much a baby anymore... When did she get to be so big? Reagan keeps up with the other two, no problem! She can run just as fast, and talk just as much! She is already so, so smart it is scary! She is so sweet and fun. Reagan loves her baby dolls, Tinkerbell, and Daddy! She loves trips to the zoo, and riding her new pink trike. Everyday she has somthing new to say, she is so fun to have around I just love my babygirl! ( She will always be my baby!)

Date Night!

We had such a great evening! Dinner at Texas Road house was great and then we ran to the movie and got there just in time to find NO seats available! This is the 3rd week Avater has been out so we didn't think it was going to be a sell out.
It Was.

So we sat and debated where and when to grab the next movie, the manager guy was getting tired of dealing with us, I think thats why he gave us an upgrade to the IMAX showing at 10:20. So now we had an hour to kill. Birch vs Sousley Bowling began! They Won. ( I want a rematch, Shawn only beat me by 2 pins!)

Well the line started getting long so we only got one game in. The movie was really good! The 3D was amazing and the story was great,

I recommend anyone to go see this, and I am not one to hype up on blue people! We got out of the movie about 1:00 am and hiked it back to the truck parked out in BFE and it was freezing! After picking up the kids it was after 2:00 am before I hit the pillows! It was well worth it! I so enjoy getting out and taking a little break away from kids!

Sunrise

You are the window through which you must see the world - George Bernard Shaw



I had an amazing moment this morning with my little boy! After a very late night out William was still up bright and early. The sun was just coming up, he woke me to ask if I wanted to see the orange sky? He was so quiet and sweet about it, I got up so that I could pull open the shades. I am so glad. The sunrise this morning was very pretty but it was so much better cause I got to share a special, moment with William. I love that boy so much! I hate to see him grow up. I wish I could pause this point in my life for just a little while longer.

Saturday Jan 2, 2010

Alexandra Sousley was baptised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! She was baptisd and confirmed by her dad, Robert Sousley. We had a lot a family and friends come to show thier love and support for her.






Following the baptism we had a nice turkey dinner and enjoyed another evening with friends and family! I would like to thank everyone who came! It was a great day and we were so happy that we could share this special day!


This was such a funny moment with chef Gpa and Bob getting the turkey ready!

Happy 2010!

We started this year off with a great party! I had a house full of family! A mixture of Willis' and Sousley's all came to celebrate a New Year, and a very special occasion, for Alex's Baptism! (Post to come)


We had lots of food, and tons of games to play. We had fun with the Sign Game, The Airplane/Elephant/Tiger-Pirate Game, the Wii, but the favorite was Settlers of Catan. We played this game for hours all weekend long! (We even made a run to the store So Mary and Leslie would have one to take home to Washington!) After games, we got the glasses of bubbly out and toasted to the New Year and then added some fireworks in with the snow!
(this was Apple cider, I don't support underage drinking!)

Christmas Train

Dec 4, 2009 Thunderline Mountain Christmas Train Ride

A little late post I am sneaking in here.
We celebrated Bob's and my friend Sarah's Birthday this year on a Christmas train ride/dinner. We enjoyed a yummy dinner,

and Bob got a special birthday song on our way to see Santa and the Mrs.
A Cozy fire, and some cookies we snagged on our way back to the train and relized we had stolen them from another train coming after ours to see Santa! (oops! Hope that the confession will keep us on the good list..SORRY!)
Santa came on the train to give Bob some hassaling on what " A real beard should look like!"

On the way home we shared a little too much info with friends and had the best laughing fit all year! So fun we gotta do this again!
