Farmer's Market

We love the fresh produce we get at the local Farmer's Market.  And I love how Ella will always pose with that produce.  Love her and can't believe how fast she is growing up.

Back-to-School 2015-16

 

We had a fun-filled summer, including an amazing trip to Japan for Cole and I, an incredible family raft trip and visits to see extended family.  I'll have to catch up on those posts at some point.  In the meantime, school started this week.  My babies started Kindergarten, 5th grade and high school.  Can't believe how fast they are growing up.  Makes me want to freeze time and hold on to these fun and sweet moments I get to have with them.

 

 

 

Cole turns 14

Cole turned 14 on January 24th.  Can't believe it really.  Time is going by so quick.  We're so proud of the incredible young man Cole is becoming.  He loves soccer and basketball and flexing his muscles.  We all love his optimism and good attitude.  He also makes us laugh a lot and is always willing to help out when he's asked.  Jeremy and I appreciate the good example he sets for Bryce and Ella.  Happy Birthday Cole!  We love you.

Bryce turns 10

It's hard to believe how fast my boys are growing up.  Bryce turned 10 on December 28th.  We're so proud of the amazing person he is becoming.  He always makes us laugh and works hard at everything he does.  He loves playing basketball and soccer and wrestling with his older brother and  younger sister.  Happy Birthday Bryce!!  We love you.

 

 

Winter 2014

 

 

We're coming up on one of our favorite times of the year.  We had some snow right after Thanksgiving and then haven't had any since.  That's when we went out to cut down a Christmas tree.  Fun times.  We love Christmas time and all that it brings.  We're especially grateful for family and all of our blessings.

Fall Update

 

Both Cole and Bryce played soccer this fall and both had great seasons.  I need to post some pics of them in action.  I sure do love watching them play.  When I gave Ella the choice to play soccer or take dance this fall... she chose dance.  I think she's been to waaaaay too many of the boy's soccer games and wanted to try something different.  She may play soccer in the future.  Who knows. 

 

Cole has been taking piano for a few years now and Bryce just started this fall.  They recently had a recital and I loved listening to them play.  So proud of those two boys for balancing school and sports and other activities.  Jeremy is also back in school, but still working his full time job.  We're proud of him for going back to school after all these years to work on his PhD. Go Daddy. 

 

 

First Day School 2014

 

I'

 

I've done a poor job of maintaining the blog but wanted to post some first day of school photos.  This summer flew by really fast.  We were able to do some fun outdoor activities as a family.  I'll have to get some pics up from our rafting trip in Montana and trip to Glacier National park.  Moscow school district had a 2 week delayed start, as a result of construction occurring in all of the schools.  Cole started 8th grade, Bryce 4th grade and Ella preschool all on 9/8/14.  Ella will start Kindergarten next Fall.  Crazy.  Just crazy.  Love them all so much.  Here's to a happy, healthy and successful school year.
