15 months

Budd started his first day of his 15 month journey in the accelerated nursing program at the U of U today. We are starting the 15 month count down. I am going to try to post once a month to celebrate one month closer to his completion. 15 months will fly by right? We sure hope so and we are excited.

More Winter Fun!

With such a long winter we had to be creative and find things to do. We had fun swimming, playing instruments, bundling up and going on walks and to the park, seeing the Christmas lights, visiting friends and family, going to IKEA, going to Disney on Ice with cousins (courtesy of Grandma) and being goofy at home . We had a lot of fun and loved having Kein and Megumi come along with us. We have had so much fun having them with us this year. Time is sure flying by, but it is fun to look back at all the fun things we have done.

Winter Fun




This winter we had fun playing in the snow. The kids loved helping us shovel the snow. Even baby Alea tried to help. Spencer mostly like rolling in the snow and coming up with new games. We also had fun going to the church gym once in a while to play soccer and other games as a family. It was nice to have a place to run around even when it was cold outside.

We love Megumi

Megumi is a Japanese woman who is living with us this school year. She is so wonderful. We feel like she and her son Kein have become apart of our family and we do not want them to go home. Megumi loves to cook and makes really tasty Japanese cuisine. We are so lucky to have her cook for us a few times a week. The kids love to help her, especially Brinlee. We love Megumi!!

Spencer turns 5

On Jan 5 we celebrated Spencer's 5th birthday. He wanted to have a superhero squad party since that is his favorite thing these days. He even got some super squad PJs from grandma that he wouldn't take off for days. He had a party with his friends where they each chose to be a super hero and then they all tried to use their super powers to take out Budd. Budd was a good sport to let all the kids wrestle him. They had a great time. We love our little Spence. He is such a good boy. He is loving preschool this year and the teachers say he is such a good helper.

November-Thanksgiving

We had a really fun thanksgiving in St. George at my parents house. All of my brothers and their wives and kids came. It was the first time that all of us had been together in the same house for a really long time. All 20 of us under the same roof. It was really great and the kids loved being with their cousins. It was actually cold there but we did bundle up and do a little hiking and playing outside. Quinn, Katie, Jeffers, Mom, Dad, Garrett, Chris, Jay and Grandma
