January fun ~ Colorado trip and more!

We took a spontaneous weekend trip to Ft. Collins Colorado ~ beautiful city in the mountains. Downtown was built by the guy who designed Walt Disney's Main Street - charming! 

Cool doobie smoking ice-fishermen that let us help drill the hole!

Joy's paver at the Fallen Warrior Memorial 

Momentous ~ sweet President Monson's passing and our new prophet Pres. Nelson is called!

A surprising ice storm!!

Kristian's Awesome Play ~ Addams Family! He's a superstar!

So fun to watch Kas play bball ~ 

The new lightsaber craze...

 

Loving being Primary Music Chorister...

 

Ward Youth Temple trip to Dallas ~ their first time to see where we were married!! Stephen baptized all his peers - it was the first time the church has allowed priests to do that in temples. April Williams texted me this: "It was so great to watch your awesome kiddos today! Stephen was the first to be able to baptize, and was able to baptize Kenny to start.  That alone was awesome enough, but Kassie was right off to the side waiting to go after Kenny and she looked like such a proud mama watching her brothers, it was adorable! I truly hope my kids can display that level of affection toward one another unprompted!! Such sweet sibling moments! Ya'll have seriously awesome kids!! #goparents, #teachmeyourways!"

Sweet Stieg has brought Mom and our family (especially Kenny and me) so much joy. We've been heartbroken since he passed away and look forward to finding Mom a new little friend.
