Golf trip

Mike won two days of golf in Saint George at our Gunnison 4th of July auction. He and I went down and enjoyed two beautiful (albeit chilly) days together.  We also visited grandma Jaussi and aunt Darlene in mesquite.  It was a wonderful trip.

Some of Darlene's artwork - so vibrant!

Happy birthday Peter!

Well world, Peter is now three years old!   We made it through the terrible twos. Now on to the terrific threes (hopefully!)

Peter loves avocados so much that grandma Barlow wrapped one up for him.  It was a great gift. 

Rocket

We shot off our rocket in the field today. The kids thought that was pretty neat - especially Peter. Caitlin was great at running after and retrieving the rocket once it landed.  It's a fun activity for the whole family. 

Heist as morning

The pictures are fuzzy because the kids wouldn't hold still long enough for a picture.  We had a wonderful Christmas morning.  

Andrew wanted books books books. 

Caitlin got a new dolly

Santa brought Josh a shiny new iPad mini 2. 

Christmas Eve 2015

We spent Christmas Eve at Mike's parents house this year and helped enact the traditional nativity play. Peter was awesome as Joseph…for about 3 minutes.  It's always fun and light hearted.

Grandma as the Angel 

Daniel was a wiseman, Becky the narrator, and Mike and I were shepherds.

Joshua turns 13

It's official world: Joshua is a teenager.  Happy 13 to a sweet boy. 

Late night at the theater

We took the kids to see the new Star Wars movie.  It was fantastic!  Even 2 year old Peter loved every minute. But poor Caitlin was just too tired. After the movie we found her in the lobby all tucked in and conked out.
