Winter 2017

Every year I want a white Christmas so the kids can go sledding and play in the snow during Christmas Break. This year we have had a record breaking snow fall. So far in the month of January since coming back from Christmas break the girls have only been in school 4 times and have cancelled 9 times. In my whole time I went to school not once did we have a snow day. Needless to say I AM TIRED OF SNOW!!!! Just last week our only grocery store in town their roof collapsed. Other buildings and homes have collapsed because of the snow fall. Here is how our house looks now with all the snow.

My husband and daughter trying to get the snow off the roof before the next big storm.

Let's just say I am ready for Spring!!

Wow!!!

I can't believe how long it has been since I have written here on my blog. So many things have happened. In June 2016 we sold our first house we bought when we were married. It was bittersweet. It was where we came home to after our honeymoon. Where both our daughters came home to from the hospital. Just so many memories but the home we have now we are making new memories in.

On May 9th our puppy, Duke, was born. A little chocolate lab. He is the son of our chocolate lab, Remmy. They share a birthday only 9 years apart.

In August the girls started the new school year. Hannah is now in 6th grade at the Weiser Middle School and Hayden is now in 3rd grade at Pioneer School.

This year we had a friend take the girls school pictures. They turned out wonderful.

Hannah - 11 years:

Hayden - 8 years:

Both girls. Best Friends

Until next time,

McCall Family Vacation

In June our whole family went to McCall Idaho. We rented a house and spent the week with family. We had 18 people altogether. My Uncle Ted and Aunt Abbie even came from Nebraska to spend the week with us. Stacy came from California with Alden and Collyn. Lyndon had to work so he was the only one that wasn't able to be there.

We took the kids swimming at the lake, had ice cream from Ice Cream Alley and did some shopping. We ate every dinner together as a family which we don't get to do very often anymore. I had a blast getting to spend time with my nieces and nephews.

Where does the time go!!!

I have been the worst at blogging. Our life is so CrAzY!! Since I didn't finish my last post about Disneyland we had a blast. This spring our girls were both in Dance, Cheerleading and Softball. Hannah went to 2 competitions and they did really well. She has a young group with her being one of the oldest in the class.

Hayden's group is still too young to go. But she had a good time.

They were both in the same Cheer Class which is great.

This year was Hayden's 1st year of Coach Pitch Softball. She was so fun to watch. Her team was mostly boys but she had a great time. Hannah moved up to Softball this year and loved it. She played Shortstop & Left Field.

Hayden's Team was sponsored by Farmers Insurance.

Hannah's Team was sponsored by MTE Communications.

These 2 girls have us going non stop all week. I do get tired but I wouldn't change it for the world.
