Winter

A lot has been going on this past month.  It's been cold but warm too. It swings back and forth, so I can't complain to much.  This is us at crazy 8's math club at the library.


We got a new sectional for our gameroom, but the funny thing is that we measured for the couch to make sure it would fit the space, but we never measure the doorway.  Yeah, it didn't fit.  BUT we managed to make it fit by taking off the door and cutting off a piece of our trim.  Nothing we couldn't fix ;)  We love it, now that it will have to stay up here for ever, ha ha.

Kayla's friend Jace finally talked her into going duck hunting again, she doesn't like it near as much as dear hunting, but she still got her one!

Callie tried out for our local archery team for youth and she will get to be in a tournament in a few weeks.

We were sooooooo excited, that we finally got a Dairy bar nearby.  Yay! My favorite.

 Callie got to go ice skating with her big sister and dad when I was recovering from my surgery.

Hailey is the dog whisperer, I swear, she can calm Bentley down better than anyone else.

This was a picture of us when we went bowling when my brother in law Scott came into town for an interview.  I had a picture of him too, but couldn't get it to upload.

This is a snapshot from our New Years eve party at Grandmas.

Hailey and Bentley, sound asleep....

We've been busy putting on the finishing touched to our new shop.  Brad's dream!  He made it big enough for a lift later on.  I'm happy for him, he's wanted a shop for a long time.

We celebrated 100 days of school and Brynlee got to dress up as an old lady.

Gymnastics and first snow of the season!

The other day I was looking at my friends page and she had posted that her girls had received a new gymnastics mat as their Christmas present.  I thought that the girls would love having 

They came up with this pose all on their own :)







She really wanted to make a snow angel in like 1/2 an inch of snow.

Bentley had so much fun playing in it.

Christmas Eve

We had a great Christmas eve at Grandpa and Grandma Shelton's house. The girls loved everything that they got.
Can't believe I got one with all the cousins.






All lined up to see what Santa left in the room:




Brynlee loved her snuggly little puppy.

Christmas 2016

We had such a special Christmas. It was just low key, relaxing and just really enjoyable getting to spend some time with our girls and seeing their thankfulness for the great Christmas we had.  We are thankful for all our blessings and especially for our Savior and being able to think about, focus and learn more about Him this past month.
