Winter Campout

I love these young women!  Every winter we go on a winter campout.  And it is my type of campout!  We go to Barrott's cabin in Island Park.  This year we stopped by Big Judd's in Ashton on the way there for some ice cream.

Aren't they cute!!!!

I'm so grateful I can serve in young women's while Erin is there.  She found a cute date at the cabin!

Erin spent four hours in the hot tub on Friday.  She outlasted everyone and came out a prune.

Erin couldn't wait to get back in the hot tub on Sat.  It was cold and windy outside so the water didn't feel as warm.  I decided to join her but I didn't last long since it was on the cool side.  It didn't phase Erin though….she was in for another 4 hours.

Happy Valentines Day

How can you have Valentine's Day without heart cookies?  Hannah, Kira and Kalli came over and we made and decorated Valentine cookies.  They loved frosting them and then decorating them with sprinkles and candy.  I don't think they were able to eat them with all the decorations but the fun was in the decorating! 

I love that they live close so we can do these fun things together!

They fill my life with LOVE!

Grandpa and Mindy always bring the grandchildren fancy decorated heart cookies for Valentine's Day. Austin was surprised when Grandpa brought his by.  Pretty much sums him up….NAUGHTY! :)

Kira and Kalli found some fun hats and jewelry when we were cleaning out Mom's house.  They go perfectly with their "pretty" jewelry boxes grandpa and I gave them for Valentine's Day. Aren't they adorable??? I think so!

Like Mother…Like Daughter

When do you know that you may have to take a little more time between pregnancies? 

Probably when your daughters are playing obstetrician and pregnancy patient.  Caitlin went in the bedroom the other day and Hannah was the Doctor and Kalli had her baby doll in her shirt and was laying down like she was at a check up.  

Cutest thing ever!  

Those girls love each other and are excited for their new little brother to come!

(And so am I)

Forever Friends...

What a wonderful blessing when your daughter-in-law is also your very good friend!  I couldn't have picked a better daughter-in-law myself.  She is beautiful inside and out!  She is an amazing wife and mother.  I am so so grateful that she is my forever friend!

Love you Whit!

Happy 56th Birthday Daddy-O!

It's your birthday shout HOORAY! Austin, Griff and Whit came home for the weekend and Grandpa and Mindy took us all out for Bill's "Birthday Breakfast".  It was so much fun to be together with them.  We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.  We are so very blessed to have such a wonderful husband and father in our family.  He works so hard for us and is such a great example in all aspects of his life.

We love you Daddy-O!  

Happy Birthday!

I sure love this family of mine!!!! So very, very grateful for each one of them!

Only one candle????

We Love the Library!

My Mom loves to read! That means going to the library once a week to get books for her.   Kalli and Kira love to go with me.  They play with the toys and pick out books to take home to read.  Can you believe this picture was taken in January?  

This winter has been crazy warm!

Happy 1st Birthday Chalice! Happy Birthday Brandon!

It's my first and I'm ready to party!  Chalice celebrated her first birthday on Jan.3 and Brandon celebrated his 31st on Jan. 4.  So we had a double birthday celebration.  We are so grateful for both of them in our family.  

Love, Love, Love them!
