February

Leah had a Birthday!  She had a gel blaster party. 

The girls all had a great time.

It worked out great after a week of ice storm to have a nice day. 

Evan had trouble seeing again so we brought him back in for new glasses.

Dallin, Jenny, Kira and I all ran a 5k.  Dallin took 3rd in his age group

Aaron worked on his Valentines.

This was his tank he made for his Valentines.

Dallin has his first track meet.  He ended up taking 3rd in the 3200.

The boys  playing Axis and Allies.

Us after the race.

 

January

Another trip to Six Flags.

The kids had a great time!

Leah said goodbye to primary.  We made pizza and had a good send off with my activity kids.

We ran a race.

I didn't run as fast as I wanted to but we all had a good time.

Leah placed in her age group.

The older boys marched in the MLK parade.  Evan and Aaron loaded up on candy.

Fort building in the living room.

Hanging with the Clarks is always a good time.

Joshua has been working really hard in robotics. The team was invited to the US championships in Iowa this year.  He really wants to go.  We will see what we can do to make it happen.

Evan ran the race too.  He did great!  Dallin ran a PR as well.  I love watching my kids grow and learn.

 

End of 2022

 

We had a great Christmas.  Leah practicing with her Dribbleup

Gelblaster games all the time

We probably have them weekly now.  

Leah got a big net catch all the stay soccer balls.

We had a great Christmas.

We had the whole family over and the missionaries taught a lesson.

We played lots of games.

We made and handed out treats.

We had a party over for Relief Society as well.  It was a busy but great December

First half of December

We had our Ward Christmas party.  They did the Nativity.

Evan competed in robotics.  They did amazing!

They won the Excellence award which qualifies them for State! They were so happy!

Evan also had his choir concert.  The boys had their band concert.  They all did amazing.  I love watching them show off their talents.

We clean the church every Saturday and Santa showed up.

Of course my kids told Santa things that I have never heard.  lol

Even Leah talked to Santa.

Michael took his turn too!

We also had my work party.  The kids love playing and visiting the animals before the party.

 

Thanksgiving, Orchestra and Joshua Birthday

We did our annual Turkey trot.  

It was pouring rain but we had fun.

Dallin didn't want his picture but he was there too.  

Leah won in her age division.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I forgot to take pictures of the people and food.  I did grab this one of Aaron and his mess.  He got flour all over the floor.

Leah had her orchestra concert.  They sounded good.  She has been working so hard.  Next up is solo/ensemble.

Joshua turned 16!  I can't believe it.

He requested Jessica's lemon cake.  

He is driving now.  He still just has his permit but it is so scary teaching a kid to drive in a big city.  He is doing great.  He has even done the highway.

Aaron and Evan got a little sick but got better just in time to finish out the school year in 2022.
