We got a couple more ski trips in through our homeschool charter. The kids are doing so well and love the speed. Spencer came along for this trip and we spent a day tubing also.
Quinny likes hanging out with me in the lodge a little more than hanging out on the slopes.
Griffin's friend Zack
Little Lucy and Morgan came to visit CA and she got right in the action when Griffin and Liam were wrestling.
We celebrated Griffin and Liam's birthdays a little early.
Happy Birthday

Rock painting
Keeping the earth green... one empty bottle at a time
It rained like crazy for weeks and this is the result. We were getting a smidge worried at this point.
The kids and dad playing cards in my room. Why tho...
Griffin fell asleep after a long day of running and school- and shooting?
Oh he does still fit in the dryer. Just wondering.
Christmas!!!! I got Griffin and Campbell these awesome Garmin watches for running and they love them
Emery and Campbell's big gift this year was Taylor Swift tickets which I did not realize would be a super-human feat of luck and skill. First to get the tickets and then to keep them secret for months.
Since Christmas was on Sunday Griffin wanted to show his full respect for the celebration. He was quite fancy looking.
The kids favorite game at the visitor center for Oakland. The try and get the highest score
It is such a blessing to live near a temple. We love taking an evening each December to see the Christmas lights and nativity scene.
ABC...Always be crocheting
Buddy looks like he had a long day
Griffin and I were able to help sort gifts a few different days for the Salvation Army Christmas gift program.
Spencer and I went away to Maui for a few days for my 40th birthday. We love how easy it is to get back and forth to such a beautiful location and appreciate mom and dad helping with the kids so we could go!
This time we took a ferry to Lanai to check out a new island. It had a cute walkable town in the center of the island and I wish I'd brought my swimsuit to swim- we didn't know if we'd have time.
Campbell and Robert work on the turkey each year- making sure it's properly buttered.
Katie making the sweet potatoes exactly how mom wants them without any variation.
Child #2 with her wisdom teeth out recovering over Thanksgiving break. Campbell did pretty well with recovery. She did have the unfortunate side effect of only having one cheek super swollen which looked a little wonky.
So much driving around town for no reason so Campbell could get her hours in. Too bad the driving test doesn't include going through the McDonald's drive-thru. She got lots of reps of that skill.
