Happy New Year 2019!

We had a fun New Year's party at Tricia's house with lots of games and yummy food! The kids had their own party downstairs and loved it.

And here's my 2018 Top Nine Photos...

Utah: Visit to Logan and 4th of July

Every summer, we take our annual trip to Utah to spend time with family. We first headed up to Logan to visit the Reeders and to celebrate the 4th of July. Since Caroline will be attending Utah State in the Fall, we went on a return to your roots tour of the campus! It was fun seeing all of the places we used to go and to see how the campus has changed.

We then celebrated the 4th of July with a pool party of course! Adam and the kids all practiced their cannonballs...

Me doing what I do best, relaxing by the pool! :)

and Liam all tired out from sun and swim

I had to get a family pic even though the kids are tired and a little sunburned!

Gigi and Liam are ready for Uncle Mark's firework show! It was a great day!

Easter 2018

The kids got to open their Easter baskets when they woke up. We also had an Easter Egg hunt inside since it was too cold outside!

Easter Sunday was the same weekend as LDS conference this year, and it's tradition that I make cinnamon twists!

from our Young Women lesson the previous Sunday, I love being with the Youth!

And some cute Easter pics of Gigi and Liam!

Of course they wanted to make silly faces! I love how Liam has the same silly face in every pic, while Gigi changes hers every single time! Hahahaha!

Christmas Day

We spent Christmas in Minneapolis this year and the kids woke up bright and early of course! Here they are ready to dig into their stockings...

and opening up lots of presents...

For Christmas dinner Adam grilled steak and shrimp in the cold!

It was worth it. :)

And to close out 2017 here are my top nine pics...

4th of July

For the 4th of July we met up with church friends at a friends farm. We had a yummy potluck BBQ and the kids always have fun playing with their friends! Here they are enjoying the swing...

They loved the sparklers, until a little spark landed on Gigi's foot!

And lots of fireworks of course!

And we had to take some family pics too...
