So us mommies from church have started "moms time" which include bible studies, play dates and family get togethers. Saturday was our first family night. It was game night and potluck and the UFC fight was on. We had a great showing and everyone had a fun time, especially the guys. As it turns out they had no interest in the fight once they found out Dan and Jen had their new ping pong table set up. I think we only saw the men when they came in for food! CJ schooled them all so now Jon and Dan want a rematch! Jon kept joking he needed to rent the movie Balls of fury so he could get some tips for next time. :) The kids of course had a great time together chasing each other around, playing dress up and playing the Wii, Ashley's poor room looked like it had been visited by a demolition team. We did manage to clean it up enough to see the floor though. :) Us ladies also had a good time chit chatting and enjoying all the yummy food and desserts. For next month it's mommies only and we're doing pj and movies night! It's at Alys' house and I hear she is an excellent cook so I'm so excited!

For Steph!
Okay so Stephanie just pointed out the fact that it was I who prompted her to do her blog and now it is I who is slacking on my own blog.
Let's see my last post brought us up to January so hmm...nothing much exciting happening lately so I haven't had much to post. Don't get me wrong, my life is filled daily with as much fun, excitement and drama as any mother with a four year old and toddler could have but if I were to put that on this blog you may never come back for fear of death by boredom! I could post my hundreds of pictures and videos taken but I fear that only a mother could love the 50 attempts at trying to catch a picture of Bryn smiling only to have her grab the camera and instead get a picture of her eyeball. Or Brook performing her renditon of Hannah Montana's "Best of Both Worlds" for the 20th time since dinner. I guess truth be told I know all of you out there love reading about the Mazlo family as much as I love writing about us! :)
So here I go... Superbowl #??? (don't know, don't care) was lots of fun. Grandpa and Grandma Arias, Uncle Joe and cousin Michael came up for the weekend so Jon and I were able to make a quick escape to Dane and Steph's on saturday night for some grownup time. We had lots of fun and Steph introduced us ladies to a new yummy drink, mmm. On Sunday my brother Joe, my parents, Grammy and Grampy, Robbyn and the kids all helped us yell at the TV in hopes that the Cardinals would be able to hear us and pull off a miracle, sadly they weren't able to and I believe I even saw a tear in my brother's eye at the end of the game. :)
Valentine's Day celebrations and President's weekend were great too. Brook's highlight of the month was having not one but two Vday parties at school. She got lots of cards, candies and goodies and was generous enough to share them with all of us. We also had two visits from Gavin that week. Bryn is just so happy to see him and they have so much fun together. They remind me of Brian and Brook at their age, too cute! President's weekend the weather was nice. We really thought we'd have nasty rain but it didn't even sprinkle till we had packed up and were ready to drive off monday afternoon. In fact saturday was actually hot enough for shorts and tshirts, which is quite funny because the weekend before we took the girls up our mountain to play in the snow. Bryn is now very aware of all the fun she can have on the rhino and Brook's quad and wants nothing to do with staying in the toyhauler. First thing each morning she would bring us her shoes so she could go outside. She even got to hang out with everyone by the campfire this trip, she's so cute and getting to be such a big girl. Brook had Devon, Colton, Heidi and Jonathon to run around with. She and Colton even fell asleep watching Madagascar 2. The kids made friends with the neighbors and somehow ended up scoring bags of Vday candy. I'm pretty sure Brook can hear a candy wrapper being opened a mile away. :)
Our next trip is not until Easter but we've got lots more going on before then so I'll be back!
