The Last Week of 2022!

The last week of the year we tried to pack in some fun. Cavin spent 4 days at camp Cho-yeh for our church's Stake young mens camp. We thought he would have soccer practice all week so that he wouldn't be able to make some of it, but it ended up being cancelled and he was able to attend! He said he had an awesome time and kept raving about how much fun he had. I'm so glad he was able to have a fun experience with the young men.

He said his cabin was awesome and he loved the challenges. He came home with one of few challenge tokens awarded. 

There is very little communication from their leaders, I mean they are men, but the boys all survived and had a blast!

Ragnar meanwhile was having a blast in Nashville, TN! His friend Dan bought him first class tickets to Nashville and tickets to the cowboys game. 

He was so excited it was a Thursday game and they could go. 

The Cowboys were kind and won the game for him!

He had a great time with Dan who also loves the Cowboys. 

He drove in nice cars, went to play disc golf, enjoyed downtown music in Nashville, went to dinner, and even was able to go to the Nashville temple. 

A dream come true and a fun few days for him! I'm so glad he got to go!

New Years Eve was a busy day. We started the morning by going to my nephew Crew's baptism. We were so glad we were invited to support him. It was not easy as there is a lot of heartache in that relationship, but I am glad the kids got to see their cousins since they only saw them twice last year. I hope he knows we love him and someday our family can heal.

I pray every day for these 5 kids. 

We went to lunch with my parents and then went to get Ragnar from the airport as he was on his way back from Nashville to spend New Years eve with us. 

We spent the night with several families celebrating the new year. The Larsen's hosted a party and it was hopping! There was karaoke, balloon animals, an ice cream machine, games, a balloon drop, and a lot of fireworks. 

The kids had many of their friends to ring in the new year with!

We played a game with the ladies called "Trash" and after 2 hours of no one winning we went and enjoyed the fireworks. 

I'm glad we have fun friends :)

Miraculously we made it past midnight and I got my New Years kiss!

Our family had many wonderful memories and growth in 2022 and we look forward to what 2023 will bring! Happy New Year!!
