It's December, it happened so fast

The year has flown by. We've had so many good and hard experiences. But when I look back I realize how much we are learning and growing and we are all better for everything we've experienced. 

Ethan has decided that he wants to go on an HXP trip this summer. He's going to Tonga! He want's to play in the ocean and they'll be working on building a house while there. I can't wait for the adventures he's going to have next summer. 
Kedzie and snow in Cache Valley! 


Ethan and his bloody nose from wrestling! 


Ethan and his doppelganger from wrestling. Seriously, they confuse me. 


Nuf Said Christmas dinner at Johnny's Italian Steak House. Always a lovely evening. 



Ethan loves me cuz he sent me this photo of his mileage! Look at that! 123456. Perfection 

Oh my son and his friends are crazy. They made sugar cookies one night and a few of them were boy parts! What's that all about? I'll never understand.  Laurie is so patient and kind to have these teenage boys around so much. 



Oh Ethan and his buddies are annoying and amazing! Laurie is their amazing second mom and they just are living their best lives. I get proof from photos every once in a while! When I "pay" for them with tacos or screen time! They've especially had fun over winter break together.  



They had a Christmas party this year at Laurie's and did secret santa gifts. Laurie made them a delicious meal and they all dressed up for the evening. She gave them cups with their names on them too. They are seriously there all the time! 







I gave them the socks because they all love eggo waffles, at Laurie's of course. 

They even decorated gingerbread men



Twelve days of Christmas has been fun again this year. These three enjoyed decorating gingerbread houses. So grateful for Grandma and Reggie who put so much love and thought into twelve days of Christmas for us. It's a special tradition.

Mama's sweet puppy! 

Aren't they so cute? 

A game from grandma for twelve days. 

Ward Christmas breakfast. These are some of the young men in the ward. 

My girl is back for three weeks! 


Alexa is going on a mission and 
Jayden and Kedzie at their Christmas party before break. She has been lucky to find these two amazing girls at USU. 

More wrestling 


Alex playing in the band Christmas concert. Brennar was performing too. 

Best friends go to the Temple together every once in a while and continue to love and support each other even if we see each other quarterly! lol 

Aubree carried her Christmas bread and our Christmas card around with her all day according to her mom, after we delivered her some yummy Christmas bread. 

He's always slept in strange places. I should make a book! 

Wrestling isn't for the weak. 

Kedzie is a plant lady! 


First Varsity dual for the Hawks and came out with a W. It was rough for Ravi, but he is learning and growing and awesome. 

Her position at times while waiting for us when we run into the gas station. Silly Phoebe.
