January 2025

Many family photos looked just like this for 2 years. It is my favorite when all 5 of us would get on together. Dakota got special permission to wake up early in Germany so we could do Family Home Evening. We would study gospel topics and scriptures. It was truly a blessing for our family.

Our sweet dog Aile. He brings so much joy to our family. It is hard to describe the pure love of a dog. My friend told me many times when the kids were young, "Every little boy needs a dog", I thought she was crazy, but now I see. Its true, they truly save us in so many ways with their never-ending kindness and excitement to see us.

Kiley took the kids skiing a few times this winter. It was very unfortunate that the lift was broken and it made it very hard to use up their season passes, but they were very happy when they could make it up to Nordic Valley.

Aile had his first birthday and I made him a Pup Cake. He wasn't sure what to think at first but really enjoyed it!

More Robotics. Cam and Logan really loved all their years doing robots.

As a relief society we went to the Family History center together. We learned so much and had a great time being together.

Mom wanted to go to the Hoff Germanfest in Ogden in honor of Dakota living in Germany. It was quite the cultural experience. The music was so loud, but it was still fun.

Cam's robotic supporters. He had quite the crowd this day and also won the design award too! They worked so hard on their notebook and the design of their robot and the hard work paid off.

Grandma Julie had her 70th Birthday and we had a fun get together with appetizers and a beautiful cake made by Marley. 

Dakota and his district out doing P-day things.

 Grandma Becky made these beautiful aprons for all the girls in the family for Mother's day. I love wearing mine when I cook.
