New Buzz Cuts

They were feeling a little wild and crazy… Karen Horne is going to kill me for allowing this to happen. 😂

They look like little convicts. 😏

President’s Day Weekend

Mike and I were going to go see Reid and Shelly Neilson in DC over the weekend, but we had to cancel thanks for Mike’s dumb kidney stone.  Our flight was early in the morning the day after Mike was in the hospital and dealing with the pain.  We didn’t want to risk it…. But by the next day he was feeling much better, so we decided we needed to figure out something fun to do with the kids since they had a long weekend.  

We booked a hotel in Park City and off we went. 

Miles tortures Will in a loving, big brother kind of way.  Will’s a good sport about it (most of the time 😂).

Then we met the Hiatts at Boondocks to use their gift cards from Christmas. Grandma spoils them! 

Easton hit the jackpot!!  🤑

A little too cold for go-carts if you ask me…. Never too cold if you ask them: 🥶

Fun day with family! It’s the best! 

Oh Miles

On Feb 3rd (so 4 days after his birthday) we were pulling up to the house with the kids in the car when I noticed the garage door was poking out… I said “what happened to the garage?”. Mike and I looked at Miles who quickly hung his head in shame. His response was “I didn’t think you’d notice”.  REALLY?  😂 Then, as if it was going to make it any better he said, “but it still goes up and down!”. 

It turns out as he was hurrying to school he just forgot to open the garage before backing the car out…. Oops.  

Fortunately Will threw his basketball at it from the other side and the garage door popped back in.  😂 So now we live with it like this. 

Fast forward to March 11th…. Miles goes to Club V for basketball practice and came out to fresh snow all over his car.  Who needs to wipe off their windows so they can see out?  Not Miles….  Well at least he thought that until he backed into a parked car.  Oops.  Then after clearing things up with the owner of the other car, he drove home. Along the way a piece of the bumper blew off in the wind and was gone forever.  Morgan is so ticked he was driving her car.  Now she drives around like this. 😂   We should get her a sign that says "my brother did it!".  

Sometimes I get a little frustrated with this boy, but then whenever I’m around him I just can’t help but think he’s the most lovable boy around! Growing up by having-to-learn-the-hard-way is his mantra and though it can be super frustrating as parents, we couldn’t adore and love him any more. 

(Picture of Miles taking care of the Goings birds… He let out the big mean parrot and ran home for oven mitts and protective clothing so he could get it back in it’s cage.  My favorite memory was him FaceTiming me and screaming that the parrot was dive bombing him and he didn’t know what to do. Makes me chuckle every time I think about it.) 

Mike’s kidney stone

Mike woke up on Feb 18th thinking he was going to die. 

He was is excruciating pain and figured out pretty quickly that he had a kidney stone. 

We went to urgent care and they confirmed that yes. he was passing a stone.  Poor guy!  

I took this picture right before the missionaries we “coincidentally” bumped into in Walgreens, give him a blessing behind that screen. 

On March 22nd this big boy was born. (That was over a month later!) The ultrasound said it was a 6x3 (whatever that means).   Let’s hope that was his first and last kidney stone. 

Another tooth falls out 🦷

🤣

Will’s 6th Grade Valentine’s Lunch

How cute is Will 😍😍😍

Morgan’s Sweetheart Dance

Morgan got asked to Sweethearts. 😍

Yay! We love Jamo!!  He was my (and Mike’s) Trek Son a few years ago.  We love him!

Her response was perfect! 

Axe throwing 🪓 🎯 

Jamo got them matching outfits.  It was super nice to not have to find something for her to wear.  

She is the CUTEST!!  

Miles and Morgan before going off with their dates. 

Off they went to a super fun night!!  

Miles goes to Sweethearts

Miles asked Ella Lawson to Sweethearts. He just turned 16- first date!!    I can’t find the picture of his ask poster…. But here is her cute response. 

Disco theme!  Doesn’t he look awesome.  He kept putting off finding something to wear (basketball season is keeping him so busy), so I panicked two days before the dance and overnighted this outfit. I’m so glad I did.  He looks awesome!!!  Those pants 😂😂

Disco siblings 😍

Picture dump of Miles’ group.  They had such a good time!
