Happy 2014

 We had a fun time making ginger bread houses.  The best part is watching the kids destroy them as they eat them.  Adam had frosting all over his face and even in his nose.
 




We love you Ryan.  Can't believe it's been 19th months.
 
 
 
 
We had fun going ice skating a few times in December.  Ethan finally started getting the hang of it and didn't want to go home.  He did spend a lot time on the ground but mostly he was doing it on purpose.

 
My friend has a skating rink in her backyard.  It was a blast.  Both Adam and Alex are naturals.  I even got the hang of it this year.  Mike isn't convinced ice skating is fun yet.
 
 
 
                                   Christmas Eve 2013


Santa got the boys their "boxers".  They have been having fun duking it out.  Thank goodness no broken noses as of yet.
 
 
 
 Go Broncos!!  The boys still love football.  They were so excited to root for another one of their many favorite teams.
  


                                Christmas Day 2013       
   Merry Christmas Ryan.  You will always be close to our hearts.  It is special to know that we were celebrating the birth of our Savior together but just in different locations.





 Sledding in Syracuse on Christmas Eve.
 
 
Christmas Day was spent at home in our jammies. 
 It was great !!!


Jaime's piano recital.  We are very proud of
 all of her hard work.


Happy 41st b-day Mike.  You still don't look much older than 31 you lucky guy.

Fun after the snow storm.
Jaime got braces on Jan 3.  Now there are two metal mouths in the family.
 
 
 
 
 

Sorry it's kind of fuzzy to read.  There are so many wonderful articles in this months Ensign.  They have given me strength and help.  I encourage all those going through hard times to not give up.  Look to the Savior and he will stand by you the entire way.  It may be hard right now, but it will be worth it in the end.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I just came across this while looking through some pictures.  This is my dad's canoe.  Thanks for honoring Ryan.
