Yeah! We did it! We survived the first week of school! After the second day things got better. Ammon's second day of school was much better! He hasn't cried again in the morning, but he still NEEDS Nikolas to walk him to his class. Nik is such a good sport and watches over Ammon and …

Marci's birthday was Sunday. We had a great afternoon together. I am very grateful for my very special sister, who I couldn't imagine life without! You are the best Marci! We all love you lots! Happy Birthday!   I have been having computer difficulties! Sorry about the late post.

When we got home from CA all the puppies were walking. It is fun to see them grow. We let them wander about the kitchen for a little while a couple times a day.  The kids love to watch them and play with them. It is hard not to think they are super cute. Nikolas wanted …

Our great friends The Masks and The Thunells are at Aspen Grove. They invited us along with the Johnsons to come and visit them. We have such a good time visiting with them and letting all the kids run wild! There was a little mining town set up. The kids loved playing with everything, exploring …
