Jan spent the new year helping the kids get settled in Idaho. Jan Kamaile's first birthday. February went to Longview to Oak Tree for Valentines Day. Quite the experience. Bad Service etc but a good time with Brian & Jenni. March Kalei's birthday. Amber has been with us for the past three weeks and we have had fun doing crafts.

Mar 31, Amber and I took a Psanky class here area few of our eggs we did. Ours are on the right side the 3 in the middle. Mine is the one in the very middle. Very fun. Amber and I are buying a kit to do more. Apparently these are made at christmas time for ornaments.



April was Easter.. lots of family stuff. We colored easter eggs. The football was one of Spencer's creations. Thaoe and I purchased these $1 sand pails for the girls and put their names on them. We filled them with clothes for the girls.

Holiday Blues

November we celebrated with Thanksgiving Breakfast. Biscuits and Gravy as everyone went their separate ways later that day. Kamaile enjoying her biscuit.









December Christmas time we celebrated with just our family in the morning and then again the girls went to their in-laws. That night we went to my family for Christmas dinner. my mother with her book we made for her of her "travels". For the Grandkids we gave all the little kids sleeping bags.
