2017 Fall-Winter

Fall 2017
A new school year, our last in Utah!



Carter turns 7!  He had a fun birthday party inviting friends for a Harry Potter Scavenger Hunt.




Ramon, Christian and I spent some of our mornings at the Bounce House.


Thanks to Christian's fabulous preschool (Miss Laura's VIP Preschool), we took a field trip once a month.  Above is the Fall Festival at Jaker's Pumpkin Patch.


Above, Christian dressed in his preschool Thanksgiving outfit.


The morning of Christian's preschool field trip to sing Christmas carols at the mall, Christian wanted to attend as the Grinch (see above).



Harry Potter Hogsmeade extravaganza for Aunt Bek, the kids and I.


Merry Christmas!  Oh what fun to have Aunt Rachel and Uncle Steve visit!





For Faye's 9th birthday, she invited some friends to go ice skating.


Faye and I saw BYU's production of Into the Woods. It was awesome!


Devon and Ramona reading books, a favorite pastime.


Carter dressed up for his 100th Day of School.

Summer of Utah Adventures!

Summer 2017 in Utah.  Devon was in Columbus, Ohio for his internship at Nationwide Insurance while we stayed back in Utah.  He left on May 13 and got back on Aug. 5.  We sure missed him while he was gone, but we tried to stay busy and have fun anyway!



Memorial Day ~ Fun at Heber Valley Camp!
We all had a wonderful time with the Hoshouer family.



Carter swinging down after climbing up!

Happy 4th of July!
