Ryan's work trip to Italy

Ryan loves traveling with his job.  He got to go to Italy for a week and visit Pisa and Venice.

We love and miss our daddy

Pinewood Derby

Sam was very creative with his car.  He named it "Breakfast" 

and drew eggs and bacon on it.

Luke turns 7

Lukey is our little rock star.  He gets along so well with everyone and is easy going. 

He has great self motivation for school and loves following the rules.

Many times on Saturday, we will all wake up late to find Luke reading a 

book in the bathroom where he can find light.

He was very particular about his birthday party and actual birthday.  

He loves when he gets to be in  charge.

Tessa's Spotlight

 The primary president loved this so much that she shared it with me.

Sledding with the Olsens

There is a place in France about an hour and a half away where you can ski and sled indoors. 

We spent the day sledding with the Olsens.  I hope to come back to teach the kids how to ski.

Luke's birthday party

We did baking soda rock melting with vinegar for treasures, snowball fight, and nerf gun war.

Great friends came over to celebrate.  All but Jack will be moving soon.
