Way to go Sylee!

  

  In January Sylee entered her schools Doodle for Google contest and found out she won! Out of all 6th and 7th graders in the state of Idaho Sylee's doodle was picked! She wasn't chosen as state winner over all age groups but to win out of all 6-7th grade is a huge deal! We are so proud of you!

Brett--In the Double Digits!

Our Bretters is 10!  He wanted to have a Football Party this year.  Since it was his year for a friend party he wasn't about to forget anyone.  We had 10 ten year old boys at our house and two weren't able to make it!  I needed a megaphone it was CRAZY, but fun!  We played some games, including a football tire toss, and "hot Football" pass.  The boys were troopers they partied hard and then went straight to basketball pictures and a game...which they won, again yeah!!!  We are so proud of you Brett, you are such a light in our lives!

Never a short supply of help with Mailee around!

Go BRONCOS!!!

This is what I got when I said smile!

Mailee making sure she wasn't getting skipped on the pics!

This girl cracked us up!  She was out there running around with the boys,  it never crossed her mind that she was a girl and about three feet to short to play football!

Like I said!

Because the need to wrestle arose!!!

THE CREW!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WE LOVE YOU!!!

Christmas in Wyomin'

On a last minute whim we up and headed to good ol' Wyoming! My sister and her husband live on a ranch out there...way out there...in the middle of NO WHERE! Well, and that sounded pretty good to us! After a 12 hour drive and a 45 min."detour" we made it! We had a blast with the fam as always and wish we could have stayed two more weeks! Santa managed to find us and we had a white Christmas in deed! It was...magical! Thank you Staley family for your great hospitality...but maybe not for the extra 6 pounds I gained! We love you, Thank You for the FUN!!!

Christmas Morning!!!

                                       

 Christmas candy making, and making, and making!  

A little side stop on our  way  to Gilette to go swimming and shopping!  This was in front of a huge mining area.  A little fun fact: This bad boy costs just 36,000 dollars WOW!!!

Atlee Girl!  Miss You!
