Tooth Fairy

Need I say more. :)

Our last Hurrah

We have a wonderful client who heard we like to ski and asked if we wanted to use their house for the weekend. How could we pass that up. So we packed up and headed for the pass for the weekend.

John and Grandma working on the snow fort
Josh snowboarding off the jump he made with dad
Jared's turn to try the jump with the sled
More snow fort

I swear Ryan and I went but I have no pictures to prove that.

Christmas time

Every year on the day after Thanksgiving we go cut down our Christmas tree. This year the only exception was we went to a tree farm instead of climbing around the mountains looking for one.



Uncle Jeff made it home for a few quick days. We almost lost Maia to him. Luckily she was to big to fit in his suitcase.


Kids with Grandma's tree

Soccer

I totally forgot to take pictures the whole season of Josh and Jared's soccer games. I managed these 2 of Jare at his last game. It was freezing but I love watching my boys play.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Ryan did an awesome job as 'Lucy' in her play. The boys even loved seeing it. Jared quotes the wolves lines all the time. Ryan says he must be the next actor in the family. ...we'll see.

Going through the wardrobe

'Lucy' and the 'Beaver'


Just a side note...I thought I posted this weeks ago, I guess I only saved it-oops. It's here now~

Why I haven't posted

This is 'the one!'

Oops, dropping 'the one'

Yep, we're good

waiting for my puppies plane....80 minutes late, but who was counting!!!

Car ride home

Maia meets the family



Finally schools out so Josh can get back to his dog

Grandma D makes Maia a coat so she can come to football

Picking the kids up from school is hard work!



I don't even have pictures of my boys playing soccer this year. Or of their football games, piano. And Ryan is in the play 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' so I hope to get pictures of that. But for right now a shower would be nice....
