2021...the first fifteen days!

Happy 2021!

There's so much hope and optimism. I hope it all works out. I hope we can do some traveling, play sports, get back to school. I just have a lot of hopes that only time will tell. 

New Year's Eve. Travis and the kids made it, I was out by 9:30p.

And the next day, I took a little rest with my puppies. Great way to start a new year, with extra sleep!

Ethan is still going to Loveland with Daniel and Owen every chance he can get. They went a lot over break. I love that they can be together and have so much fun together.  

These four are awesome. While Triston was getting his braces on, I took the other three to the park to play. They are silly and fun. They make me laugh. 

Round two of braces for Triston. Hoping this fixes his jaw issues. He's pretty handsome. 

Back to online school! It is hard and no fun, but they are doing it and not doing too badly. I just hope they learn what they need to and aren't too behind the rest of the nation and world. 

Jina turned 40 on 1-8. It was a total surprise and fun to celebrate her. The boys had a fun wrestling tournament in the basement with the twins and Beckham. Love our Bradford's.

Alex's first Sunday as a deacon. He was excited to pass the sacrament. Proud him. He was ordained by his dad. It was special. His blessing said the following...from my notes. 

Alex, we bless you to come to know the priesthood you’ve been given and you'll use the power of God to do his work among his children. Blessed that you’ll come to know God by serving him and serving others. It starts by passing the sacrament. You’re giving people a great service, acting as the Savior does. You are standing in his place, doing the things he would do and say to the people around him. Bless you that your testimony will grow and you’ll see the hand of God in your life and the life of others. Remember this day. Strive to be worthy of the priesthood and have a desire to use it.

My babies! :)

Triston, Alex, Trindon and Braylon work out with KO on Mondays and Fridays on zoom and they love it. It's thirty minutes of intense strength and conditioning. It's awesome. 

1-12 Travis bought his new car that he's spent days and days researching and narrowing down. It's fast, gas efficient, has great technology and it's red. His mom calls it his 'Man'opause car! Welcome to the family 2021 Toyota Venza. We love it. 

These two have learned to mostly love each other and it makes this mama so happy! 

Isn't she the cutest?! She's eight pounds now and a busy little fur ball. We can barely trim her hair and forget about her nails. She's dug four holes in our grass, she pretty much potty trained, she loves to chew and chew, she is a pick eater, she sleeps til around 5:30 and then again until 7, she loves car rides and often falls asleep in them and she loves her mom the most. She will follow Wiley anywhere he goes and wants to play with him whenever he doesn't want too! Her hair is getting lighter and her tail is getting darker. She is one busy, happy little four month old puppy.
