Thanksgiving 2015!

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving up in Washington with Steven n Mary and Scott n Rita.  It was memorable!

We went on a hike in BC. We all got searched at the border because Steven had a shotgun in his car😁.  

A nice old lady in Canada gave our kids money because "they are so beautiful!"

Turkey hunt!

Our house on the lake

Two days in Spokane. An older lady named Linda bought all the kids desert because "they were so cute". She gave Jonas a hug.

Baby Jude is 1!

Oh my baby is 1! Jude is growing up so fast! Make bough he wasn't a fan of the bday cake & he was a bit overwhelmed w all the people, such is life! He's a joy in our life. At 13 months He bops to music, is walking like crazy, has found the toilet 😜, loves his brothers & tries to make us laugh! He signs & sings all done, signs milk, says momma, dada, & hi. He loves the outdoors, nearly always has a smile for others, does the shy lay on momma's shoulder & plays peekaboo w loved ones & strangers alike. Our family wouldn't be the same with out Baby Jude.

Keat is 10

Better late than never! I can't believe that Keat is 10! He's such a sweet boy! He takes care of his little brothers, he protects them, he's an avid reader(think Harry Potter daily), he loves soccer & basketball & ANYTHING outdoors (hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking). Keat has a strong st see if right & wrong. If he feels uncomfortable/guilty about something, he'll come talk to us. I'm so proud of him. We love you!
