Happy New Year!

We got home from Idaho and hit the ground running. We didn't have much time to get readjusted to real life before the big boys went back to school but we still managed to find time to play and we played hard. But it is always nice coming home after a long vacation! 
We're home! 
Man, I love these two. 

Betty Brinn, for the win. Go, Benji! 

This is their happy place. 

Benji and Miles helped us all come up with
accurate adjectives. From top left to bottom right,
Oliver, Mom, Benji, and Miles.


I sure love these boys of mine
and their Daddy, of course.

FHE at Build a Bear
Workshop!

Making a wish on their Dragon's hearts.

He loves his 'tormfly (Stormfly)

Barf and Belch make him happy!



A happy boy holding his Hookfang.

Merry Christmas, boys! 
Dragon faces :)

Oliver found some goggles
and didn't want to take them off. 

Not even for toothbrushing

Thanks for the cars, Grandpa! 

The boys are so excited! 

Two peas in a pod, these two. 

Another afternoon at Betty Brinn.

The cutest mail carriers I ever did see.


Singing the wheels on the bus to the whole place.

He was very thoughtful about
which groceries went into his cart.

Oliver loves story time with his Dad. 

Surprise, surprise, Oliver picked Bettty
Brinn for his morning activity, even after
two afternoons playing there with his
brothers. 

I love mornings with this goof. 
He found the perfect spot to
people watch. 

Relaxed afternoons while "the guys"
are at school consist of reading

...and painting. And napping, we just don't
have a picture of that activity.
These cool cats love Betty Brinn Children's Museum!

Christmas, the Freddy half. :)

Grandma and Grandpa treated us to a
movie. Frozen 2 was a hit!
Our time with the Fredricksons/Leonardsons came and went too quickly. We spent our time playing and visiting with Grandma, Grandpa, and cousins and our visiting time in Idaho just made us more excited for our move here in the spring. We got some good visits in and are already looking forward to when visits can happen more frequently!

Oliver was sick again but the movie
was a welcome distraction.

Missing the Leonardsons and Janelle but
lunch at Stockman's was delicious.

Just two buddies watching a show.

Everybody deserves some Foster snuggles.
These two are definite lovers of the trampoline.


Oliver got a quiet night to himself and
spent it reading books with Grandpa and
watching shows with Dad. 

Grandma and I braved the cold weather and took
the boys to see the Rigby ice caves!
They were awesome!


It was beautiful! 


The big boys loved it!
Ice cream with cousins is always a treat! :)
We love books with Grandma.
Super kids to the rescue! 
That's a good cousin, right there. 
A late night movie to Knives Out.
Good movie, great company! 
It makes me happy that books are their
favorite thing! 
An afternoon at the rock gym
definitely wore all of us out! 
Three of the best kids I know! 
She's the best sister around! 

Too cute


This chair has seen a lot of kid
bums over the years but she keeps
on standing! 
Off to Wisconsin
Goodnight, sweet boys!
