Aliyeh is 15!

Aliyeh turned 15 on February 5th. She is a fun girl who laughs out loud when she knows she is annoying me. Yet she says,"You know you love me!" That I do! She works hard and is learning to beat her mom at volleyball. 6,897 minutes is her record for one month of text messages. So worth the $30 unlimited minute plan. Aliyeh is compassionate, kind, smart and we love her. Happy 15th Birthday!!

I guess Tya was bored at the ward Christmas party because she swiped a can of whipped cream and helped herself.

Tranformers, guns and Jacob, Oh My!

The little guys got costumes for Christmas!

The bigger guys got this!

And Aliyeh wishes she got a date with this guy for Christmas!

2009 Family Picture

Basketball 2009

The boys played basketball for three months. They had a great time but I think they really just like the snacks and trophys.

Micah's 7th birthday

Ever since Micah could talk he would ask when his birthday is. I thought it was just a phase but it has continued for five years. Well, Micah today is your day. Micah is nice, helpful, obedient, hard working, loves money, makes his mom laugh, loves to tease Tya, protects Josh, and is compassionate towards others.

MCDS was his choice for dinner. I really do not think there was any place else.

Grateful for November

Caleb is grateful to have his mom off his back about reading 50,000 minutes so he can earn this trophy.

Joshua is thankful for snow.

Micah is thankful for turkey!

Tya is thankful for her friends.
