 Kaybree is obsessed with the hover boards at Brodie's house.

 we found some leftover blocks of ice at the park during our New Years Day picnic so Amy and I encouraged the kids to go ice blocking. We did not have any towels which made for very wet butts and cold hands but it was awesome.




 on Aspen's birthday I filled the living room with balloons.




 Kaybree and Eisley eventually drew faces on all the balloons. This was Kaybree's drawing of Aspen's face on a balloon. Aspen loved it.



 Tucker's first hair cut!


 Eisley was very proud of her solar system project. It's still hanging in her room.






 We went to Red Robin for Eisley's birthday dinner

 Eisley's crazy birthday party. The neighbors yelled at us for being too loud so I had to bring the girls inside. It was a good time!


 Aspen loves sitting on my head. 



 Grandma Duck got a new boat. We are all very excited to go tubing this summer!



 Brendon planned the most amazing anniversary trip for us. We stayed in a tiny cabin in Prescott. This was what you saw as soon as you entered the room. We bought a book from a used book store and spent the entire weekend in front of this window reading the book. We saw deer just outside the porch and it was perfect!





 Crazy hair day at school.




 For Michelle Day this year we went on a hike with the whole family. Later Mom and I went to the food trucks in downtown Mesa and shared something from almost every truck. It was awesome!






 We went to the snow and almost got stuck in a blizzard. The snow was coming down a lot more than we anticipated. We didn't end up staying long.

 Aspen saw the snow falling and said "What's this balls?"

 Tucker loved the snow! He was not excited to leave.


 Our car did get stuck in the snow. We couldn't get enough traction to get up a small hill to the main road. Eventually someone stopped and helped us push.

So different

The older you get the more your different personalities are coming out. It's so fun! Kaybree has always wanted to be just like all the big girls she sees. You want to do what everyone else does and you fit right in! You go with the flow very well but you do your best to lead--while following. I know that doesn't make a ton of sense but basically you're the leader of the crowd. You follow everyone else but you don't let anyone step on you. You know you're the cutest thing around and you flaunt it a little bit. You pretend to be shy (because that's the cool thing to do) but you're excited to tell everyone all about your boo boos or the puppies you saw at the mall or anything else going on in your life. This week you started preschool and you were so excited. As soon as we got there you followed Teagan right inside, waving and calling goodbye to me as you went. No hesitation. You know what to do and you do it. You're attending Montessori House in Lehi f...

My biggest challenge

By
I’m a writer by trade. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I love to put my feelings into words. Yet, in the last month, I’ve been having a very difficult time vocalizing what’s happening in my life. It’s not because it’s been sad or difficult or anything like that. It’s mostly because there is someone new in my life who I care very deeply for who I feel this deep need to protect. I want to protect his identity, his story, his life. I don’t want to overstep any boundaries or crush any trust. I recognize the life he has lived has not been easy and so I tread lightly on this relationship we’ve built. But honestly—it’s a fantastic relationship. He’s an amazing kid. I’ve been asked to write a blog post for an organization that helps recruit foster parents about the first few weeks of being a foster parent. I’m having difficulty deciding what to write. I feel like anything I write about my case probably won’t apply to their case so it’s not very helpful. I keep writing drafts and then...

"So I've got a friend, who I met at Frys. He's an older guy. He's got a car he wants to give me and soon he's starting a business so when I'm 18 and a half or 19 I think I'm going to move out and move in with him and work for him." "Doing what?" "I don't really know but he's going to have this business." "OK. Well, good luck with that. Get it in writing and get a title for the car." I walked away just shaking my head. Silently I thought "At least he didn't tell me he's going to become a rapper. He might as well though... A couple hours later I talked with him again. "OK, so I've been texting him and finding out more about this job." "OK." "So he's going to be a rapper. And he says we'll find something for me to do, something I'm good at. Something that will make me $1,000 a day and I can probably start doing it from home--maybe finding new beats online....
