Bensens Birthday

Bensen is in double digits! He got his first friend birthday party! Usually they get it at 9, but I dropped the ball last year. With Jaycee and the boys basketball schedule it makes doing fun things hard. Jaycee actually had a game on his birthday this year too, so we had the party the day before.
I gave him two options. 1-go to the church and play games, invite as many people as you want
2-get air, invite 6-10 friends.
He chose Get Air. He even opted to invite 6 friends so that his sibling could come. He is so sweet!
They had so much fun.
Bensen is pure sunshine! He is happy, loving and so sweet! He likes playing the piano, playing video games, playing with his friend and cousins. He doesn't like chores of any kind, and most foods. He is such a picky eater! 
We sure love this kid and we wouldn't change him for anything!
Happy Birthday Ben!
I think Jaycee is liking basketball. She came home the other day with two pieces of paper that a teacher had given her that said she lettered in academics! She had already lettered in Soccer, basketball and Lacrosse. She is pretty awesome! We decided to get her a letterman's jacket. She works so hard in sports and academics, we are so proud of her!

Happy New Year and Anniversary

Happy New Year! Wesley got braces to start the year off.
Happy Anniversary to Mike and I, we made it to level 18! We went to a movie and lunch then to Jaycee basketball game. The Ulrich's anniversary is on the 6th, they invited us to go do an escape room with them. It was fun, I even helped a little.😊 And it snowed and snowed some more. I've haven't been any help this year with snow removal and it has been a pretty snowy year!
The should is coming along. I still can't really do anything with it. Mike has really picked up the slack, he even does Vivian's hair!
I also included the kids school pictures. I never buy them, but i took screen shots of them on my dsd. They are so cute!

Christmas!

Merry Christmas!
This year Mike's mom wanted a new family picture, so before our Christmas Eve party we got together and took one. I think it turned out good, and I only had to add one person, and I edited a few others.😉
We love our Christmas traditions. We spend Christmas Eve with the Borgstroms, playing game, eating yummy food and just being together. We wake up at what I think is a reasonable time on Christmas morning, I tell the kids they can't come down until 7:30. We open presents, then we head of to the Baileys for breakfast and presents.
The rest of the day we kind of float around. We usually make it back to the Borgstroms to see what everyone got. Go home and take a nap and we usually play some games later on.
I am so grateful for the Christmas season. December is usually pretty busy with parties and basketball, but we try to take time to teach the kids the reason for the season. I hope some of it sinks in. :)

A little December

Josh and Jetta got married December 1, in the Payson Temple.
Some of us worked on puzzles while others laid around! Jaycee played some basketball. Vivian had her tumbling show at the rec with breakfast with Santa.
I had my 5 shoulder surgery, I got a hemi cap should replacement. Fingers crossed this will be the last one!
 While I was resting Mike took the kids ice skating with his family, they loved it!
