Carol and Lane Visit

Carol and Lane came for a visit. We were able to attend a session together at the Brigham City Temple. Unfortunately, most of the kids got really sick while they were here, which is why only a few of us visited the Air Force Museum. 

Aaron is FINALLY finished!

At exactly 2 days shy of being 16 1/2, Aaron finally completed Drivers Ed, passed the test and got his Driver's License! He is so excited!

Kellie's New Skirt

I have had a really hard time finding dresses or skirts for Kellie that are age appropriate and a decent length, so I finally decided to just make one! It's finished just in time for Spring.

It has pockets AND is reversible. 

Kellie loves it. 

Now all I have left to do is find a matching shirt...

Kellie and Keyboarding

Kellie attended the district-wide Keyboarding competition. She placed first in her grade level at her school, and was in the top 50 for the district.

Sally is Loved

Seth thought Sally might get cold at night, so he covered her up with one of his blankets. 

Merry Christmas Eve!

December 2017

We visited Christmas Village in Ogden with the Corless cousins.

We made cookies with the Porter cousins.

(Aaron had his wisdom teeth out on Thursday, so he's a bit swollen still.)

And Seth Pretended to be Santa Claus. (They do have the same initials!)

Aaron's Nutcracker Performance

Aaron is part of a 7 part acapella group at school. his group one the popular vote at the talent show, and were asked to perform again, at a follow-up assembly. Please excuse the grainy video, Matt was recording from the back of the theater. Here they are:

Aaron's Christmas concert

The Christmas concert at the High School was amazing. I had to get a picture of the finale, over 300 choir, band and orchestra students, plus alumni from the audience, 

performing Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. 

Wow. It was amazing.

Micah's mesmerized...

Caleb's Art Show

Levi's first glasses

Levi made it longer than any of the other kids, but he finally joined the "Glasses Club" and I think he looks great!

Thanksgiving at John's House

This year we drove up to my brother John's house for Thanksgiving. It was great fun and the food was amazing! We took a few minutes to go show the kids the waterfall of Idaho Falls.

Kellie is 11

Kellie had a great 11th birthday!

Aaron in Hello, My Baby

Aaron participated in a musical this Fall, called Hello, My Baby. 

He was a plugger, or someone who sings on street corners, selling songs. He was amazing!

Levi's Pinewood Derby

Levi had a fun Pinewood Derby. He designed his car to look like a skeleton from Minecraft. 

He placed 7th overall, and had a great time.
