Happy baptism birthday, beautiful girl! 

Getting back to mine and Micah's roots.... Runza's!!! 

Homeschool PE! 

Christmas Piano Recital

A rare and greatly cherished afternoon out at the Gammage - My Fair Lady. Not exactly our favorite musical, but excellent company and discussions to and fro.

One of my favorite parts of Christmas this year - Micah planning and then making all his siblings gifts this year. Each was incredibly personal and thoughtful. For the girls he chose to make "bye bye" bags, each filled with some of their favorite toys (calculators they use as phones and wallets) and for Shiloh a hand crafted sword made of cardboard and silver duct tape. To see him really put his heart into pleasing his siblings this year was truly the sweetest and boy, did they LOVE their gifts! Now we have a new yearly tradition - sibling gifts!! 

A personal favorite verse to diagram.... next we added the sentence,  "thank you, ladies, for all your help in making us look good."

Tim's Bday present from the neighbors - a Cardinals FB game! Sooo fun!! 

A treat on the way home - at least it still the same! 

Christmas Caroling at a retirement home with cousins and friends! 

A beloved parishioner hand crafted this treasure before moving. 

Sleeping Beauty

Still going strong with our sourdough game! 

Christmas Eve big reveal of sibling gifts! The absolute sweetest siblings! 

A keeper of a text.... Amen Dad! 

Littlest Miss turns 3!! Noelle certainly is the cherry on top for our family. She is mostly sweet, sometimes fiery and is quickly becoming an entertainer with her silly antics. She is gentle, a snuggler, somewhat of a perfectionist, and LOVES art, especially watercolor. So thankful God decided to surprise our family with the sweetness that is Noelle Ann. 

A birthday trip up to Flag so the girls can see and we can all enjoy... SNOW! It was a mad dash to find some snow attire for a few kiddos, but we finally made it! What a fun time we had!!!

Celebratory hot chocolate!
