January





This was a month of boy birthdays. Joseph turned  22 on the 3rd. Christian turned 27 on the 14th. Jackson turned 26 on the 31st.




Our first 31 days of 2026 kept us pretty busy!


We have a new Deacon in the family!



Grandma and Grandpa made a quick trip to Rexburg to 'help' Amber and family after her New Year's Eve surgery.
(I hope this isn't too graphic for the blog.) 



The GCGs welcomed little Bauer into their family.

Rosie said good-bye to her puppies. 
(Or maybe it was good riddance!)

(It's good to be back home.)


Dexter started basketball, but his true passion seems to be art.

(This makes Grandma very happy.😃)


No art classes for Tyler - just another season of basketball.



The group for Meatloaf Monday keeps getting smaller.



Lincoln got a stripe on his belt in Judo.




Mother Nature got confused this month!




Emma was named the 'single of the month' in her ward. 👌👍



Finn kept busy this month. He had his very last IEP, learned some new line dances at the HS Stomp, and perfected the art of making horchata.



Tyler and Brielle began indoor track.



A lot of Jazz games were watched - unfortunately they lost most of them 😞.



Super hero Ruby and her friends are there to save the day.




Wintery days tend to bring out the puzzle people!



Dexter - our missionary in training...

As for our REAL missionaries...they kept busy teaching, eating, baptizing, serving...










Wow. We all made it through the first month of a brand new year. Way to go. So far so good. 



April

  Seven birthdays this month - count them! Nathan celebrated year 49 on the 1st. Elder Sean turned 20 on the 7th. Happy 25th birthday to Emm...
