Birthday Jax

Last month the oldest had a birthday!

Happy Birthday Jax!

I can't believe it.

My baby is 10!!

He loves the outdoors, just like his dad.

Once the snow melts, they have some fun backpacking adventures ahead!

This kid is such a good big brother.

Even though he and Dakota are five years apart, they are best friends and have so much fun together!

His sisters think he's pretty great too!

The week before Jackson's birthday my sister Kimmy married Scott!

Scott is the best and such a good dad to the twins.

We are so grateful they found each other.

Federation time for Emmy.

I don't know how that little brain can memorize those long Suzuki songs, but she's a pro at it.

We inherited such a sweet dog from my brother in law Danial's parents.

They needed to find a home for their dog Blue.

Kevin loves Blue and takes him to work every day.

This ones losing all the teeth and that look on her face pretty much sums up her personality.

It's hard to see this side of the house with the way the trees grow.

One day the kids noticed this mega-icicle.

Kev and I thought it was weird but then forgot about it, until the ceiling in the living room started bubbling.

Papa Tom came over to help investigate and found a leak in the water line to the swamp cooler.

We'd turned it off, but it had been leaking for a few months.

It turned into a whole thing.

Long story short, repairing the water line caused a flood in the basement.

Fun times.

Shopping for hunting stuff puts me right to sleep too.

And how about the mega tattoo on his leg.

These two play hard and sleep hard.

This little girl thinks she's one of the big kids.

She loves to be outside.

And her favorite thing is to ride in the tow truck with dad.
