This and That

I found some miscellaneous cute stuff from the past couple of months that I just had to post.  Enjoy!

We found Buddy Boy asleep one night like this.  So precious!

"I am thankful for mom because she is special."

Julia's buddy Marcie moved to Belize back in December... we love and miss Marcie's family!

Cal's super hero squad.




Cal has really enjoyed being a part of Ms. Tracie's preschool this year.

Our Valentine's Day sweeties.

We love playdates with our friends!


Julia fractured her radius and is in this purple sparkly cast for two weeks...

She made herself a spiral-patterned dress out of paper recently....
She's already requesting sewing lessons, Grandma Sue!

These three worked hard on several puzzles one afternoon.

We're enjoying spending lots of time with our Sem friends
on various playdates.

Haune and Julia went geocaching on campus one evening.

Cal's Kindermusik class had a "field trip" to the chapel where they got to play the organ!

Each year the Sem has a formal dance.  Here's a picture of some of the 4th year guys.

And here's a picture of their wives.  I love these women very much!

"Mommy and Daddy are leaving you guys with a sitter so we can go to prom...."


Cal's classroom was scheduled to go on a field trip to the zoo, however, that morning
it was only around 30... so Ms. Tracie got creative and created a zoo for the kids in her
apartment complete with live iPad webcams from zoos throughout the country.



Julia and Isaac's kindergarten classrooms invited younger siblings to come to their
Valentine's Day party.  Here are the Douglas and Hauan kids are playing a dice game.

Christmas 2015

I'm almost two months behind in posting this, so I better keep it short and sweet or else I'll never get this published!  We loved being able to spend time in South Dakota over Christmas with the Hauan side of the family.  We had a busy house with 8 children ranging in ages 1-7!  Many memories were made and all of the cousins enjoyed playing together.  Thanks again, Mark and Gloria, for making this Christmas so memorable!  We love you all, enjoy the pictures and videos!
