Mom's big 50th birthday party!!

We just celebrated my mom's fiftieth birthday!! We just can't believe she's half way to one hundred! We were able to go up to Sun Valley for most of the day and go on a sleigh ride with all the big kids. The little ones stayed home this trip. We had such a great time. Everything up there at this time of year is so magical. The dinner was fabulous and the accordion player sure spoiled my mom with all the song requests. The carolers were sure a highlight. They were the REAL THING, and so was Santa. It was fun being with everyone since Landon got home. Happy Birthday mom!

He's BAAAACK!!!

My brother Landon recently returned home from serving his mission in Peru. For those of you who have had family serve missions you know how fun it is to get them home. I think he's adjusting pretty good, but he may disagree. It's got to be a hard transition for these missionaries coming home. Either way it's been fun having him home and watching him get to know his neices and nephews. We love you Landon! Thank you for your example and for being such a wonderful missionary!

YEAH!!!!

We're super excited that Alyvia is finally going to be a big sister!
