winter soccer league

Emma's soccer team began their winter league. She is having more fun and playing better than ever before. Hopefully I can get my camera figured out and take better pictures of her playing in future games. For now here she is in action on the field.

mutual night

We had mutual at our house last night. American Idol was in Salt Lake and many of the girls wanted to watch it because they knew some people that were trying out like one of Madi's teachers. It was a fun night. They made quote books and cookies for those that didn't make it to mutual while watching American Idol. So many different personalities and interests but all great girls and fun to be around.

Mena's twin

This is an infomercial for the Foodsaver. Olivia saw this and had me run in to see this lady that looks like Aunt Mena because they have the same mouth. When Olivia saw this up on the blog she said, "yep, that's Aunt Mena!" So here it is Mena, what do you think?

Saturday sledding

We took the kids over to a great park for sledding for the fun of it the other day. It is a fun, new option for days when we don't have anything to do. In California, it would have been an all day trip.

Jeffrey looking like a pro. Our little friend Claire Hunsaker is in the picture with her small snow shovel that she was sliding down on.

We ran into some friends of ours while we there, the Hunsakers.

Mikayla may look lazy here but she was all over the park sledding and having fun.

Madi was just lazy the whole time and refused to try and have fun in the snow. Her loss.

Ok, maybe Mikayla is being lazy here with Madi, but it was only for a very short time.

I loved this little bridge. I can't wait to see this park in the spring when it is not full of snow.

Go Jeff! Love the facial expression.

Jeff was jumping over the girls when they came down the hill.

jammy girls

It was pajama day at school last week so the girls got comfy cozy. In looking at these pictures I noticed Emma wore my new slippers.

winner

Emma went to the school roller skating night with her friends. She was the fastest in the skating race and won a handful of candy. Good job Emmy!

chicken perch project

Emma and Olivia had a special project they worked on with dad. Our chickens needed a place to perch at night to sleep so Jeff and the little girls worked hard together and made these perches for our chickens. They had fun working together.
