The exciting happenings of our New Year........

Jon got his Driver's License, so watch out world!
Actually we have been really impressed with his driving, he listens very well to instructions and tries really hard to please. He is extremely smart and an awesome kid with a lot of talent! I am thrilled to have an errand runner and he can't wait to run the errands!!!!

We have really enjoyed the snow and all the fun that comes with it!
Ellen came to visit, we sure enjoyed her company.
My kids think she's so much fun!!!




Charlotte loves riding our horse, Bobbie, with her mom. She actually rides really well by herself too. She has been riding since she was 2 years old. She does a lot of horse therapy, that has actually helped her to get as far as she is. She will be walking soon! Tomorrow we get to go get her new purple walking crutches! She can't wait! We all can't wait!!!!!

We had a lot of mud and snow, so we went mud bogging in our Polaris Ranger! Snow and mud flipped around everyhwere! Brodies were fun too, sliding in the snow! Loren is getting braver and more dare devilish the older he gets and I am getting wimpier. I think that has something to do with being a mom and knowing I have kids at home that need me to take care of them after my adventurous moments! I still love getting my thrills!!!!!



Growing up......
Kalicia can actually empty the whole dishwasher all by herself and she loves doing it.
Gotta take advantage of that while I can!
She is so proud of it and loves to announce to me when she is going to go do her chores.

My one year old, Caroline, is growing up too! Since her eye surgery that straitened her eyes out and helped her balance, she is taking off. She is finally standing up to furniture! YEA!!!





We love spending time with our cousins!
Cousins are the BEST!!!!!

Jon and Austin went to Winter Formal!

They were such gentleman, they picked out the flowers for the coursages and had them specially made. I was amazed how worried they were about making sure they matched their dresses. I loved it!
