Pasco, Washington Soccer Tournament

Brooklyn got invited to travel to Pasco for a soccer tournament with her sister team. It was her first traveling tournament, so Brandon and I went with her. She played awesome and we are so proud of her.The first game was really cool to watch because the fog was so thick that you couldn't even see the other side of the field.

BSU Soccer Tournament

Brooklyn always thinks it is pretty cool to play on BSU's blue turf every year.

Sock Hop

The kids jamming at the school sock hop.

Winter Carnival

Every year we try to go to McCall for the winter carnival as a family. The kids really look forward to it with the sledding, ice sculptures, and a good snowball fight.

We had a great Christmas and everyone seemed happy with what they got especially me. My little baby bear.:)

Brandon made mason a Long board for Christmas with the help from his brother Chris.

It was definitely a big hit for Christmas morning.

Our family has its own band.

This says it all.

Brooklyn's Art Contest

The winning photo... "Beauty is the endless journey"

This year Brooklyn entered into the Relections Art contest. There were 3 categories, and she entered the Photography one. The theme was "Beauty is..." so the entries were suppose to be about that theme. Brooklyn took a beautiful picture down at the old Train Depot in Boise. She ended up winning first in her Category and is moving on to the district level. She titled her work "the Endless Journey." They had a nice little reception to honor those who won, she got a medal a ribbon and certificate. We are very proud of you Brooklyn... you were all smiles tonight.

First Snow of the Year!

He had our first snow fall of the year Monday. Keaton couldn't wait to get out and play in it.

Keaton's black eye

During Thankgiving the kids were playing tag in the dark upstairs. Keaton, while hiding, hit his head on the foosball table giving himself a big black eye. He told everyone afterward that it makes him look tough. Later on when it was getting better and the bruising was going away he asked his sister to hit him in the eye again so he could continue looking like a tough guy.... we love you Keaton and the silly things you do.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving started out bright and early, first we got the turkey ready for cooking. Then Brandon tricked me in to going to a turkey bowl. It's my sister in-laws family that does it every year. All the kids seem to have fun. Our team won of course. Since Thanksgiving was at our house, I spent the majority of the day cooking and cleaning up. Brandon invited his brother Chris and his family over this year. Everything tasted great and it was an enjoyable evening.
