The first time ducks have ever let me get close to them.
 Brandon's way of teaching Natalie the monkey Bars!
 I need a micro lens! Frost is so much fun to take pictures of.
Another day at another park! The kids were so excited that this cork screw was for their size. usually they are tight, short and meant for little people. 

January!

What to say about Januray..... freezing, snow, brown, sickness, dues etc. Just when Christmas is over you get those happy e-mails. It's time to pay for your upcoming recital, early baseball registration is now, the school needs you to pay x amount of fees for this that and the other. Not to mention all the other little things like kids growing like weeds, holes in pants and all the little things that come with getting older. I have come to realize that life is always a catch up game and as the kids get older the deeper the game becomes. Luckily, the outcomes of these depressing realities are eclipsed when you see the smiles on your kids faces, the confidence they find in themselves and the fun memories they are provided. 
Thanks to Mrs. Sara I get to receive fun little photo's of the girls in class! 
Natalie's best friend is Abigail!
Riley's first pinewood derby!
This year they competed against the other wards in the stake and Riley took third! His friend Kelton took second. We were really surprised. The whole week we were giving him pep talks on loosing graciously. Now we are giving him a pep talk on graciously winning.

Christmas Day!!!!

Santa Came!!!!!
 Santa really made these kids dreams come true this year! For two years now they have asked for snow globes.
 Remember the good old days when we had weird fads of collecting Bonne Bells around our necks, tiny backpack purses, mood rings, scrunchies and Furby's? Well my friends, our kids have topped the most ridiculous fad since our time with poop emojis! Yes, Santa brought these wonderful walking and actually pooping poop emoji's into our life.
 How cool is this! Riley got a mini drone he flys in the house. So far it has been tangled in Lollies hair, Nats and my hair. Despite it's down falls we have had a lot of fun watching Riley fly it!
 The girls loving on more gifts they got to purchase with their Christmas money!
 Fun around the house during new years!
 Proof that we had fun making these nativity puppets!
