Ella's Curls

Ella loves to have her hair curled for Sunday, so sometimes on Saturday night we twisted up and let it dry.

Malibu beach trip- Finally!

For the past several years several homeschool family friends have gone to Malibu, California camping and enjoying a couple days on the beach.

Every year we have missed it because we've been on other trips... bit this year we made it!

The kids had a blast, of course. They played and played with a bunch of friends. No fights, no drama, just nature and fun!

Ella's Baptism!

Ella turned 8 on April 29th and was baptized the next day! We're so proud of her decision and look forward to many more awesome Ella milestones throughout her life.

Newport Beach Mini Trip!

We went to So Cal with Brianna and Aaron Olsen and cousins at the end of April 2016. Loved hanging out at Emerald Bay Beach and the California Science museum. Newport was beautiful, a little cold, but we loved relaxing and just letting the cousins play!

Ella's Birthday! 8 is Great!

Ella is 8 years old today! She is a wonderful young lady with an ever changing attitude and strong determination. When she decides to accomplish something she does it with flying colors, 200%!

She is very observant and thoughtful, she watches, thinks and researches before she makes a decision. She is playful and generous, sharing often, and helpful with her little brothers Ethan and Roman. She has a strong desire to do what's right! We sure love her!

Ethan Loves Primary!

Normally, we have the hardest time getting Ethan to go to Primary. He just barely turned 3 so he's on the very young end of children.

Today he loved it!

A Dirty Bath

Roman took a bath today...maybe it's been too long, or maybe he played in the diet all morning. I'm not quite sure.

Niko and Xander Parkour Competition!

Niko and Xander participated in their first Parkour completion and had a blast! They got to meet a bunch of cool kids and see what a competition entails!

Xander's Eagle Project

Family Picture, Easter 2016

Love these kiddos!

Easter is a blast! And the fact that we took a picture is a miracle! We are pretty bad at family pictures, so this silly one is the best one we got! Love all these children! In their own way, they bring such spice to our lives!
