Paxton's Author Celebration

 January 27, 2017
Paxton getting ready to read his story about "Camping" in his group for their "Author Celebration".  
He wrote about how much fun he has camping with his Dad and how he can't wait to go camping again!

 Taking secret pictures of Paxton's crush: Roselynn

Paxton and his friend, Legend.

Our 1st Basketball Season

 January 21, 2017 
One of Versii's best friend's Dad volunteered to coach basketball this year.  So they asked if Versii and their other best friend, Mattias, would like to join the team too.  Versii, Mattias and Travin are BFFL's (That's Best Friends for Life, as Versii says it.)
This is Versii's first time playing basketball and these are pictures and video from his first game.


 He had two games.  Mom and Dad came up to watch his games and Josh was able to come to the 2nd game of the day.

He says he loves to play in the games.

Snow Sledding 2016

 January 9, 2016
Snow Day!  Sledding out on the toboggan!

 I took a few short videos of the boys.





 Walking down the street to the neighbors house for a "Snow Day Brunch".  Thanks again Whitney!  The food was delicious and we enjoyed hanging out.  


Cat-Sitting

 December 21, 2016
The boys often take care of the neighbors cats when they go out-of-town.  They love their 3 cats and they love hanging out with them.

Autumn, Joy, Heather and Jenae
Love these ladies!  We had such a great time!  My face hurt from all the laughing!

Christmas Eve we went to my parent's house.  
I recorded my Dad reading us the Christmas Story, as he traditionally does on Christmas Eve.  Unfortunately, I only thought to record it, after he had started, so you'll have to forgive me for missing the beginning.

Christmas morning!
We opened gifts and then went to church.  
It was a great meeting filled with beautiful Christmas music and an inspired talk by the Bishop.

 Kaden excited about his new iPhone!


 Versii loves art!  He asked for a huge gel pen pack and a composition notebook with forest animals on the front.


 Paxton asked for a stuffed cat.  And it's a calico, just like our real cat, Khaleesi.






 Legos and Nerf guns!  You can never have too many!



 Paxton wanted cat posters.  So we compromised and gave him bulletin boards and cat photos. 
 Our beautiful view Christmas Eve morning!





Paxton made this picture for us, as a gift, at school.
