The Glorious Chaos!!

Oh, we had so much fun at Christmas!

Papa reading "Seven" to Ciara


"Ummmmmm, Zane, I think that was supposed to be for Dalin."



Is this the cutest little angel??

Family fun

Dalin taking my picture with his new camera.

Happy little face!

I love the excitement! Can't you just feel it??

I think Jasi liked this one!!

These pictures are out of order but I couldn't get them rearranged - this was the big entrance!

Patiently waiting to go upstairs to see if Santa came.

Dalin and Amber were waiting too!

Thank you Zane and Amber for coming and joining us this year!

Thanks to ALL our family for their kindness and love and support!! We love you all!!!!

Christmas Fun

This Christmas Amber and Zane their little ones got to come to Montana. We had lots of fun with each other doing crafts, playing games, reading the Christmas story in the Bible and of course opening presents.

We made Rice Crispy Treat sculptures - this is Jasi's bunny


Jace, the eating machine was waiting patiently to "try out" the sculptures!


We even did some painting


Picaso Dalin painted a little bit of everything :-)

Flying High!

Our newest family member, Nikkie, was successful in her bid to make the Help Flight Team for St. Vincent's Hospital. We are soooo proud of her!! Dalin was waaaaay excited to go see her "honk-a-copter"!!

Amber and Nikkie


Dalin - in heaven


He smiled the whole time!

Christmas Concert

Jasmine had her annual Christmas Concert. She looked beautiful as you can see! The 4th grade class always gets to play their recorders. It was so fun and they did a fantastic job!




Waiting to perform!

10 Years Old!

My Doodlebug turned 10 on December 1st. My how time flies!! I love you Jasi!!

Announcements

As I was looking again at this recent picture of Amber and Zane and three of my angels, I began thinking about how the "announcements" of life are our mile markers. I was thinking about both Matt and Amber's engagement announcements and what wonderful people they both found. I was thinking about how they each have grown with their sweethearts. I was thinking about each of my angels and how excited I was at the announcement of each of their forthcoming arrivals. I love my family. I live for them and would give that same life for them. I am truly blessed.
