cheering for the JESUS FREAKS!
our MVP goalie-only 1 score in 6 games


the champs
making cookies

I just like this one
Olivia doing her work
a band called White water gave us a concert and taught us dances

Olivia throws the paddle down to choose them both
so fun
a little play dough
a walk out to the island
it was a long walk

Gray insisted he wanted to climb. Kyle was gracious and really just pulled him up a whole story, he got a work out.
so the boys are skiers now, they couldn't get enough which was great. They even skied out to the island, 1 mile each way

I like this one just to show how really small we are on this world. This was Me Angela and Sky skiing the back 40
yep I skied, we decided it would be worth me not being able to walk the next 2 days to go and it was.


I can hear your gasps, no comment needed.

finishing up Christmas break.

the Shed was a great end to the break
we celebrated a little early for the big 7 year old!
we had 6 kids for most of this week, nice way to begin the new year.
this was cool, this man was the diver feeding the fish in the big tank as you walk in and we were there when he came out so we got to ask him questions it was really fun.


another F-U-N day.

Christmas is posted

ok I am done with Christmas, but if you want the correct order scroll down and go backwards. I never know how much time I will have to post so I go in order however that makes it backwards for you viewers when I actually get them all in. pour a large cup of something warm and enjoy our holidays as we did.

Rill Christmas

sorry for everyone who is not a Rill you wont get this photo, for those of us who are, this is my favorite memory of the day Erin your the hit!

so perfect.

ARK and S.S. program

"we want to share Gods love everywhere"
as I was getting him dressed I said, you know this sweater used to be Kyles, and with a deep Bart Simpson type laugh he said "Kyle was this big?"
away in a manger
then the boys put on Christmas family tree. And we did have many family members there which was extra great
they all did an excellent job!
