Tree climbing

My favorite thing to do as a kid was climb trees. I hope my kids like to spend as much time in trees as I did. 

I love this picture

Kites!

Sweet maddie. She doesn't really like the grass that much and tries to not touch it anytime you put her on it. 

Deacon had a lot of fun and then found a leftover egg from an Easter egg hunt and then decided to play with that instead. 

   We all had so much fun flying kites. The kids did really well and ask to go all the time. 

A bunch of random pictures

We went to heber a few days ago and ate at a tasty restaurant and let the kids play at this fun park.

Love this picture of Ben and maddie. She loves to nuzzle her head on his shoulder. 

So proud of Emily for running her first real 5k.

It was freezing and so windy.

My favorite picture. 

Cute maddie 

Emily on her 6th birthday. 

THE GREAT EMILY AND ANNIE!

Here are a couple videos of magic tricks that the girls did for us. Annie is making herself disappear and Emily is making animals appear in her hat!

Someone started standing up!

New Year's Eve in Ogden

We spent New Years Eve in Ogden and actually all made it to midnight except for Annie and Maddie who both made it pretty close.  When we were there we celebrated Christmas as well and the girls all got a special doll from their Great Grandma. They are ones that she has collected over the years.  The one that Emily got is the one that she told great grandma that she wanted a couple years ago and she remembered and gave it to her.

And here is sweet Maddie

  I love this picture of grandpa wearing deacons monkey blanket and deacon with his finger up his nose... Which is where it is almost always at these days.
