Snow Day!

We woke up to snow coming down and a two hour delay. 

The delay turned out to be a cancelled day of school. 

Hazel is feeling better. Gavin is on the mend too. We have been working on Harrison's diorama for Greek Fest. It's been a good day to be home. 

Aaron did have to go into work but is getting so much done,

The Kid is 14! What?!

 Gavin is happy to be 14! 

First order of business as a 14 year old is going to his first Stake Dance. He had great company to go with too.

Happy Birthday!!

Miniature Golf

We ventured to Eugene to play mini golf.

We had such a great time. The week before Christmas was all about getting our floor done downstairs.  So grateful for this time together.

Teenagers!

Gretchen took these on my iPad. Oh Christmas Break is here and lots of time on our hands. We will see if she enjoys having them on the blog. Haha!

She and Gavin are always doing this to whoevers device they get their hands on.

Thanksgiving

The Coles hosted Thanksgiving this year. 

It was a great time being with family!

Food Boxes

The boy and cub scouts collect food for families in need. After it is all collected, the food is taken to the fairgrounds. Once there it is sorted in to boxes for families in need. 

 We met the Coles at the fairgrounds to put those boxes together for FHE.

 The kids were moving so quickly I couldn't get a clear picture of them. 

 There was no complaining and they were all very happy to do this serve. 

The kids were amazed with how many boxes were put together in just the time that we were there. 

Aaron stayed home while we did this. He was working on fixing the sub floor with Jason Appah. 

Licensed to Drive

This sweet young lady did it! She is now licensed to drive. She couldn't be anymore excited.

Rockin'

The kids got Rockband out again. It has been a year or more since they have played it. 

Everyone got a chance to play all the instruments. The drawback...no one wanted to go to bed. 

Blackberry Picking and More

We headed on a walk after dinner to the path along the river. The kids were excited to see if there was enough blackberries to make some homemade frozen yogurt. 

Elder Peterson and Elder Rawlings were here too. They helped mix everything together. 

It was delicious!

Spartans vs Bulldogs

Gretchen's last lacrosse game was in Albany.

It's been a great season for the Lady Sparts!
Gretchen has improved so much this season.

Modest Prom

The ladies all ready for the prom.

Putting the corsages and boutineres on.

Aaron always trying to get in on the action.

The kids had a great time. A successful first date for Gretchen.
