Some random pictures

Brayden, Owen and Miles reading "I spy" while mom is in the library getting ready for primary.
A picture of our Church (we are right next door to a church with a Marquee :) According to Kylee, it was "froggy" outside, so we couldn't see very well.

The bean counter at Church. This year is the 50th anniversary of our Stake. Our stake president has challenged us to do several things to strengthen our families. In addition, we are doing at least 50 Stake/Ward Service Projects, 50 family service projects (families throughout the Stake are asked to volunteer), and 500 personal acts of service for each ward or branch. As the personal acts of service don't require an accounting of what was done, only that it was done, the ward members are asked to put a single bean in the bean counter for each service. Brayden was the very first person in the ward to put a bean in.

He has been very helpful at home--I especially appreciate that he can feed Mikayla for me (for short periods.)


One of Taylor's Christmas gifts was a gift card to Academy. He bought a backpacking sleeping bag liner. He is taking a day off work to go camping in February for the Semi-Annual Tough Man Camp Out. (He and his friends made this up--they go camping twice a year--they try to get at least one in when it is really cold.) I think he is crazy!

Kylee and Andrew sharing a Popsicle in January. Maybe Kylee takes after her dad.
