Christmas Eve

This picture was not taken on Christmas Eve but close enough. Amber started a game night tradition every year so that we had more time on Christmas to be home without the scurrying around.  Here all the kids are (plus my mom and Taryn/Brenner) scrambling and fighting over the game.  Fun times.  This is the only picture I took...

For real Christmas Eve was at Oma and Opa's where we feasted on Italian food and went to Murray City Center to look at Christmas lights.  Always a good time.  Stef and Steve got the girls matching Grinch pajamas, which Copper didn't take off for about 40 hours.


Two sons and their dad.  This is a great picture.



If only Tim had known that a lot of running around and chasing the girls would have him end up in the ER the next morning with a massive migraine...





Sabrinna was the only cousin who came with us to look at the lights!  The others were bums and wouldn't leave  :)






Butter beer for the win

For the record- it was colder on Christmas Eve but had been in the 60s all week... and dry as a bone.  It doesn't feel like Christmas without snow!

Easter-ish, belt exams, and more

  Micah's belt exam was last month.  She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall.  She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys."  Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota.  Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises.  Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break.  She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah.  They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...

She's Here!

Yea! Copper is here and is so beautiful! She was born on June 8, 2009 after a surprise "You're not leaving the hospital" induction. She was 6.13 pounds and 18.5 inches long. She had the cord around her neck twice, so she was this dark haired, albino skin girl with quivering lips. But so cute! She got some color right away and has stayed pink since! Here's a few pics...

 We went to California! Micah has her annual karate in the woods event through ISKA, and this year we decided to take the whole family and go a few days early. It kind of stinks because the girls had 4 days of school and then we took off! I don't regret it though. They are hard workers and they got caught up pretty fast.  We got there really early Wednesday morning after an early flight, and started off the day off with a baseball game with the San Francisco Giants. Micah is now baseball's biggest fan. Especially the Giants, and especially number 51. I can't remember his name but she knows everything including his stats. 🤣 Wednesday we also walked Pier 39 and about exhausted ourselves from a very long day.  Thursday we hit the national monument and visitor center of the Golden Gate bridge and then walked along it until we got a pretty decent view of the ocean. So pretty! After that we spent the whole rest of the afternoon at the San Francisco zoo. I think this was Dakota...
