Jantsen's great winter moments!

Jantsen and Josh Elison went to district with their science project about airplanes. They ended up winning there and are now going to state! Great job boys!

Jantsen has worked hard all year in basketball, getting up twice a week at 6am for practice! He played in the fall, winter and is just about to start spring!


They have such a great team, even though they aren't very tall! They took 2nd in the Bantam League.

Coach Hullinger, Jessie Hullinger, Seth, Jantsen, Andrew Slack, Jackson Murphy, Josh Elison, Bennett Hullinger, Mason Sumsion and Ben Shreiner.

Nick & 3rd grade basketball!

Nick had a great time playing basketball this year! He was a great point guard.








They really had a pretty good team! Coach DeLlamas did an awesome job teaching these boys some skills! Kaden DeLlamas, Nick, Coach, Ty Carter and Jakob DeLlamas.

A very Valentine's Day!

Rose petals and chocolate covered strawberries! What a good husband!

Faux Family service project...

Relaxing at Grandma Fauxes. Getting ready to put care packages for the troops together.

Jantsen is excited!

We all brought items to put in the boxes provided by Shea.
This was our annual Christmas service project done in February. Shea will send all these boxes to her brother to give to the troops.

Everyone had a great time putting things together.

We stuffed 10 boxes!

Mindy, Sherston, Shea and Catryna

Greg & Kelly celebrate!


Celebrating Greg & Kelly's birthdays. We went to Kelly& Melanie's for cake and ice cream.



Brighton happy to see everyone...




Loving up the twins! Getting so big!




Payton with Ryker.

WE LOVE ELLIE!!

The first two months of Ellie's adoption to our family! She is so fun! I never thought I'd say that! Don't get me wrong, there have been a few moments of questioning what we'd done! Loss of whatever freedom we did have...but the boys love her and she is potty trained now. We just need to figure out how to get her to stop barking!


Her first bath.




She discovered this little box under the coats and hides in there all the time.





She has become "big" quickly and outgrew the little box so this is what she received.

She loves playing tug-o-war!

The boys adore her!




"Tug-o-war" gone bad...
