Snowball at TMS

Channing got to go to the Timberwood Middle School Snowball last night with many of her friends. 

She got ready for the dance at Berkleys house. It's crazy how old she is getting and that she will be in high school this year!

She has some sweet friends. Berkley, Caroline, Meg, Scarlett, Maely, Cadence, Ari, and Emmy

They danced and then hit the ice cream shop!! I'm glad she has a good group of girls to hang with. 

Bring On 2025!!

I have been ready for a new year for several months. I appreciate the time to start fresh and new and reevaluate where we are and what I hope for the next year. Last year was a hard one for me with a lot of changes and challenges. I was glad for it to be over and start a new one.

On new years eve my mom, Ella, Channing, and I went and got pedicures and had dinner together. Ella had been wanting to do a girls day with Grandma before she left. We enjoyed being together.

That night we went to our friends the Larsens house just as we did last year and rang in the new year with friends.

We played games, karoked, and did fireworks. Ella got to see old friends who are in college. 

Channing always has a blast with friends and is always up for a party! 

2025 is off to a good start and we are hopeful for an amazing year! 

Cavin even saw his childhood dream New Years Day...Lightening McQueen and we had to get a picture with the car! Ella also submitted her mission papers today (1/12/25)! Exciting times!! 

Family Visit

This past couple weeks I was able to see all of my siblings. First Marisa's family came which was great. We got to hang out with her and her animated family :). They are always entertaining. 

We enjoyed hanging out and having fun together.

Right after Marisas family left, Coreys family also came into town and because of both families being in town, it allowed us to be able to see some of Chris' family as well which my kids were very grateful for.

Cousins are important and I wish they got to spend more time with them. 

We swam, played ping pong, corn hole, and mini golf. 

It was a beautiful, sunny day!! I was grateful to have a little time with everyone. Its been a difficult 5 years with our extended family, and I pray everyday for peace and healing so that we can one day be a whole family again.
