playing Head Bands with Bumpa and Dex |
snow day-- swimming in the jetted tub! |
Dave finally took the lights and tree down in February. Because of all the snow it still felt like Christmas |
Lea was so sweet to lay by Mason when he was scared |
best thing to do on a snow day -- build a snowman! |
these girls are best friends! |
youth conference in Lava Hot Springs |
Mason falls asleep in all kinds of funny places |
this picture cracks me up - Landon's shoes are too big but the only ones we could find, and Mason insisted on wearing "glubs" even though it's warm outside! |
We had to get out of the house so we went to Jump In and got out lots of energy! |
Lea turned 7 She wanted pesto pasta and a princess cake |
Lea desperately wanted glasses, but the eye dr. said her eyes aren't bad enough so we got some cheap ones at wal mart. These are the ones she picked! |
Anna turned 15 She just wanted Costco cheesecake for dessert, and her big birthday surprise was drivers ed starting the next week! |
Landon made a robot face on this paper towel and walked around like a robot all night |
both girls were given the Fantastic Falcon award this trimester |
Elder Ferrara was transferred to another small town in Wyoming (still waiting for him to end up in Montana sometime) His companion is Elder Simmons and they are tearing up the place! |
I love this picture - I think it's a perfect winter missionary picture! |
Adri performed in the Requiem with another high school and the orchestra with her friend Davin |
good things:
new baby smells
supportive family
a day with no lessons
