Garrett's Spring Soccer Season

He was named the team "sweeper". This kid LOVES soccer. He may be small, but he is fast and is right in there with the really big kids! He could go wherever the coach needed him and deliver...way to go Garrett!

More Camping

Not exactly what you want to see as you drive into the state park... Chocolate Fondue, campout style! Lydia found a pet caterpillar At the nature center

Just relaxing This was such a fun trip!

Wish it wasn't so hot in Houston during the summer, or I think we'd do a lot more camping.

The kids absolutely love it.

Maybe a couple of Fall camping trips?

Chocolate Brownie Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce....best husband EVER!

Thanks for the great day!

Spring Break

What started out as "Hey, let's see if anyone wants to go camping for Spring Break", turned into this: And that wasn't even all of us! We had such a fun time with these great friends from the ward. It may go down in history as one of the kids' favorite spring breaks! Thanks everyone for such a great week!

S'mores! Seeing everyone else on their bikes, and completely depleating her training wheel on the rough gravel, Lydia decided it was time to ditch the training wheels and taught herself how to ride a 2 wheeler!

See y'all next year!

Grab yourself a good snack and a comfy seat. I finally posted the last quarter of the year. Enjoy. Bless you for sticking with me. You've got to click back a couple pages worth of posts and scroll all the way to the bottom if you prefer to read chronologically.

Family Photo Shoot

How we managed to squeeze a photo session into our quick visit to Idaho last month, I'm not sure, but I'm so glad we did. I LOVE them. And Ker makes it so fun to get our pictures taken.

Ethan's 7th Birthday

It wouldn't be a birthday of Ethan's without a lot of chocolate...

Can't believe you're already 7.

Happy Birthday, E!

and a few last favorites

Meli and Lance sledding Natalie and Lydia

It was a long and busy trip, but we had such a great time. We got to see so much family, do so many fun things, and made so many great memories.

and still more cousins

That's it. We have to move back. We have way to much fun with these guys.

And oh my gosh, this guy's adorable.

Brian, Bobbie, and little Finn were up from AZ, so we got to see them too.

Grandma was also around for all of this, but she craftily managed to avoid being in any of my pictures.
