Oh boy, am I behind on posts!

This is Cameron getting his 10 year gift from Tiffany. The big crystal trophy came later. She came to town and took us all to McKenzie River. We're so proud of his hard word at Eli Lilly. He really is a great drug rep!

This is at Peri's Christmas concert, will Taylor looking "delighted" to be there.

Peri's Christmas concert.  My Kindergartners performed right before her.  Peri also had a little solo piece on a drum. She did a great job

Ashton's Christmas concert. He's debating about taking choir next year. We miss Mr. Horn, what a great choir teacher he was.

Taylor and Brekkon, snuggling! She loves her Tay-Tay

This was a little note left on Peri's plate, which says, NO Monkey's Allowed! GG loves to tease Peri about her monkey. So silly!

Marmee made Ashton his favorite dinner for his birthday: chicken strips, mashed potatoes and gravy, Ashton's salad, and milkshakes. He loved it and he loves getting presents from them. He can't wait to go out and use his rockets that shoot 80 feet into the air! I love this picture, you can see the excitement on his face!

Cam and Peri went fishing, when we had school off. She's a great little fisher girl and LOVES being with her daddy!

Ashton's "loot." He had a great birthday and was spoiled rotten.

He said, "Mom, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but can I just have a cheesecake from Costco for my birthday?" My feelings were not hurt and wish granted. He's so easy to please!

Ashton had his three boy cousins and Kyler (who's like a second cousin) go to Geronimo's to jump, then have breakfast for dinner. They had a great time together.  Also, it's important to note that Ashton asked for "man" milk, for his dinner. That is Whole Milk, which is his most favorite drink ever.  I never buy it- only for his birthday! Love this kid! I can't believe he's 13. What a great young man he is. However, he hates to read and hopefully that will change as he gets older. He gets good grades and loves P.E. He can't wait for baseball to start.

This was my favorite Valentine, from my kindergartners.

Taylor got her second set of braces off! YEAH-HOOOO! 

Oh such a pretty smile!

Cam went with Peri and her school class on a snow shoeing trip. They said it snowed  so hard, their clothes were sopping wet. But, they still had fun! It was definitely the year of the SNOW!

The cutest! Love this picture

Ashton had his great buddy Fisher and Mason over to hang out.  They always end up in the kitchen making some connotation, SLIME! This was followed by watching a movie and magically some cute girls just happened to show up at our house. 

Peri decided to bring the cat in the house and push him around in the stroller.  He was not amused and went out as quickly as he came in.  

The kiddos and I made Valentine cookies one night.  It was on our list of 14 things to do before Valentine's Day. So fun.

Taylor and her debate partner, Jaxen Nield. He is such a great kid.  This is the night they won 1st place at their tournament.

Peri was so excited to finally get to use her Christmas present, an ice fishing rod.  Sadly, they didn't catch one fish. But, Peri just liked being with her dad and boy cousins. A great day on the ice with lots of snacks and treats.

I received this letter in the mail, which I wrote to myself my senior year of high school. Amazingly, much of it came true and it made me so happy! Good life!

My sweet Brother Hunt passed away and my heart was softened, because I knew he wouldn't be suffering here on earth anymore.  What a good man he was! I love Howard and Edith so much and always remember their good examples of friendship, kindness and generosity.

Taylor BEFORE her wisdom teeth came out.

Taylor AFTER her wisdom teeth came out. Not so happy, was she!! But pretty funny.

Taylor's friends, Makenna and Meghan came over to visit her, she is highly drugged in this picture and LOVES everyone and everything!

Cam and Bishop Mullen having a good day of bird hunting!

Lindsay came too, and said he had the best day ever!

Peri got to go with Carlee, her bestie and Mylee for her birthday. She loved getting her nails done, but said the lady pushed too hard on her cuticles. She likes the way I do it better at home. 

Taylor won at her debate, AGAIN!

We finally got a plow for our 4 wheeler, just in time for all the heavy snow to stop falling.  Cam was about to break his back this winter with all the snow. He have a big driveway and also shovel our neighbors. Ashton can not wait to try it out himself, but Cam says maybe next winter.  Cam I think has a fun new toy! He and Ashton put it together, with the help of Cate draped across it.

My handsome boy before church. He is now taller than I am.

The Eddie's took all the adult children to dinner for a Christmas gift. It was fun to laugh and be silly together.

Peri wrote this sweet note, to Sophie Shawver's grandma for making her doll clothes. I loved it!

Ashton, Cannon and Easton goose hunting

Cate was a little upset that she couldn't go too! She whined at the door for a good 45 minutes.

A late night game of monopoly with the cousins!

Makenna and Taylor ringing in the New Year

We played lots of minute to win it games

Peri and McKenzie being "unicorns"

Bean-Boozled- always a fun game.

Cate was missing Cameron, while he went to the Fiesta Bowl with his buddies. 

Learning the real rules of pool from GG

Cam was trying out Ashton's new tech gear. It's pretty fun!

More duck hunting with the new gun! Ashton is in heaven.

MORE SNOW!!!!

Ashton got a gun for Christmas, and was beyond excited!

Peri got 2 Baby Alive dolls and loves them so much. She pushes them all over in her stroller and dresses them. She will be such a good mama.

Taylor got her lap top and thinks she's now the smartest girl ever!

I got a kidney infection, and was pretty much out of it for Christmas. Thank goodness for Cam and pulling it all together at the last minute.  What would I do without him!

Jammies on New Years Eve

"I wonder what it is."

Make a wish Tay.

Taylor loved her oils for her birthday. She's really into all natural right now.

She requested Fuji for her birthday dinner.

Love my girl!

This is how a tall man, must do the dishes in the church.
Under the cabinets

The Young Men were in charge of the food for the Christmas party and they did a wonderful job!

This is the ward party with Peri as one
of the angels. Sophie and McKenzie were
in the Nativity too.

This is Brooke taking our family pictures! It was so cold, we had to heat up in the truck, then jump out for a picture.  Brooke was pregnant with Mila, and due in a couple weeks, but she's such a trooper and did an amazing job as always!
