8 Month recap!

It has been a great 8 months! We have all gone through a lot of change and fun.

The beginning of the year started with the children meeting Chris, and everyone seemed to hit it off well. Chris took us off-roading in the huntin' lands of Arkansas. Our friends have some land out in the middle of nowhere with a beautiful creek and tons of trees in the Ozark Mountains, to our Utah friends they are hills, and just as beautiful as the mountains in Utah. JC, Julia and Ethan all had a lot of fun exploring and enjoying being outside on a rare warm day in February.



Easter was cold, but fun when we participated in the Willard, MO annual easter egg hunt. All three children got a ton of eggs with lots of candy and toys.


Julia had fun with these glasses from the Easter Bunny.


Can you believe that JC is 9 years old!! He had a great birthday this year with lots of presents and parties.



JC enjoyed cub scouts and art lessons and his best friend Brayden. He still loves everything about animals and has practiced so that he draws them very well. He also really enjoys creating airplanes and rockets with his legos.
Julia had so much fun with her dance lessons and spending time on the farm. Her coordination is improving and she loves putting on her makeup and dressing up. She found a new friend in Arkansas, her name is Augusta and they have so much fun being girls together. They will play for hours and hours.
Ethan has gone from a toddler to a strong and sturdy 3 year old. He loves sports and can kick a ball farther than me and throw one farther than me too! He is also 2 inches taller than JC or Julia were at his age! He loved playing with his cousin Julie everyday on the farm. He loves playing with his trains and tracks.
