Get Air! with Hattie

Dawg and I try to hang out once a month.  We took the kids to Get Air and they were so cute together.  I think my boys are in love with little Hattie ;)

St. George

When Nic goes to St. George for work, we come too!!  

Idaho

We went up to Idaho for a Surprise Birthday party for Grandma Schenk.  We went up a day early so Nic and the guys could go snowmobiling early in the day.  We hung out with Grandma Clark.  I don't know where all my pics went, but Happy Birthday Grandma Schenk!

January 2017- this and that

It's cold outside and I have 2 little boys at home with me all day.  Nixon's favorite thing is playing the Wii, usually during Calvin's nap, and usually, Chase shows up at some point.  At one point, when all the kids were home, Nic beat the final level of Mario.  You've never seen such excitement and celebration!  haha.  Calvin has been obsessed with looking through his baby book.  He gets so excited.  It's so sweet.  There is a picture of the kids at Swig.  That was their reward for finishing 1st Nephi.  Hopefully we can keep it up!  

Happy New Year!

Tammy's Family and Our Family spent New Years Eve at Mom & Dad's.  They were out of town.  I'm pretty sure we celebrated the East Coast's New Years ;)

Christmas!

Our Christmas traditions include- *Doing a service project.  This year we put a box of presents together and took it to the Murphy's so they could mail it overseas.  *Seeing the Temple Square Lights.  *Going to the MOtab Christmas concert...if we're lucky enough to score tickets...and we usually are.  *Having parties with both sides of the family.  *Taking a treat to the home we deem "Best decorated".  *Party with friends.  *Chinese food on Christmas Eve.

I think we need more though!!  Maybe next year we can add some cool stuff to the list.  We did a White Elephant at the Clark party and it was a fight for the cool "Ohio" burned piece of wood Nic made.  Lots of fun.  Kate's home was beautifully decorated and I'm so grateful we always have nice places to get together with family.  The kids drew names this year and got gifts for eachother.  Obviously, those moments of them giving/receiving were my favorite.  Picture overload.  Our kids got a kayak for Christmas that they'll hopefully get lots of use out of next summer!  Nic built the COOLEST balance bike for Calvin.  The twins got a cell phone (not usable as a phone yet, but more to make cool movies, etc.), Nixon got toys.  Kendyl got art stuff.
