This is for you, Erynne!


I mentioned to the family that I will be starting a challenge for myself to benefit Erynne as she is at Anazazi. Erynne wrote a letter home telling us about her experience and how one of the girls mother was hiking for her every week. So I told myself to make a challenge similar to that.
Erynne will be hiking 6 miles a day. So I will walk/run 6 miles a day except Sunday until she returns home on July 7th. If you don't do 6 miles who cares just get out and walk for her and just take time for yourself to contiplate on what you are grateful for.
Who is with me? Post with your name and run/walk log and get started.
This is for you Erynne! We love you and are willing to make this challenge happen to show our love and support.

January SUPRISE Birthday/Old School Game Night

For this month of January we only have one birthday and that is Papa John. IT WILL BE A SUPRISE PARTY! The night of the party will be Saturday the 13th at 4pm at Kelly's house because we will be needing to use the yard. We pushed it back a weekend because we will be out of town the 1st weekend of January.

We will begin with our Old School Game Night which was inspired by Kelly and I because we were talking one night and were thinking about all the funny games we used to play as children (chinese jumprope, hopskotch, etc.) So if you have a game to share please let me know.

Next will be dinner. Afterwards I will share some personal history about Papa John. Then we will close our evening with our motivational speech about Goal Setting.

Grandma's Christmas Party

Grandma had a wonderful party for the grand kids. I think everyone thought it was the best. We all are so excited for this new tradition. The kids made cookies, decorated ornaments, decorated bags, got cute bears, had a talent show, made gingerbread houses, Decorated door hangers, posed for a picture in front of the Christmas tree, and enjoyed a lunch of mac and cheese with chocolate milk. Who could ask for a better day?


We took several pictures of all the kids. You can never take to many.



Kobe decorating his gingerbread house.

Paeton says, "Not all treats are treated equal!"

Reeghan and Emma rolling out the cookies.

Travis was the designated Elf. We couldn't have gotten those cookies done with out him!

Tim was another Elf. Here he is putting together the goodie bags.

I think licking your fingers is part of the job description.

Joseph is proudly displaying his apron.

Tyler and Kai thoughtfully constructing there houses.

You just want to pick her up and give her a sqish!

"Nobody said I could eat just a few, right?"

"Which one should I use first?"

"Yes, I found the perfect one"

"Don't interrupt an artist at work"

What handsome boys!

Train them up in the way they should go.

Travis teaching them how it is done.
"Yummm!"

"I get to eat this stuff, Right?"
