January 2018 Happenings

January brought Garrison's first basketball season!  The boys have come a long way and have enjoyed learning as they go.  And they have a great group of coaches/dads that are there to support them at every game!!





Garrison has also been staying busy with Futsol this month.  His development soccer league plays futsol in the winter months so he has been working on his skills in the gym!

I was able to get (outdoor) suite tickets to the Chief's playoff game vs. the Titans so Chad & I enjoyed going to the game.  It was SUPER cold and the Chief's lost but we still had a fun evening out!  My friend Stacy from work, and her husband Brian were also there!



Peyton & her friend Claire decided to dress as twins for one of their brothers' basketball games.  They are pretty adorable!

On afternoon/evening, we were at home and it was cold so Chad was nice enough to build us a fire.  It was warm and cozy!  We cooked hot dogs on the fire for dinner and finished off the night with s'mores.  Check-out this marshmallow perfection.  Yummy!!

Our niece/cousin, Nora, was baptized this month and we were able to join in the celebration.  Here are all of the cousins before her baptism.



Garrison is definitely our game player - he knows most of the games we have better than anyone else.  Sleeping Queens was the game of choice one day when Grammy was up visiting!

Peyton got several baking supplies for Christmas this year and when her friend Claire was over, the two of them made a cake, made the frosting and decorated their cake - they did a great job!!

Peyton had a sleepover at her friend Hailey's house and they were treated to juice in fancy glasses for breakfast - here they are toasting to a great new year!

One Saturday we took a family outing to Top Golf!  Chad & I had been a few times before but the kids had never been.  We had a great time trying to score points with our shots, enjoying brunch in-between our shots and having some great family time!  We will definitely go again sometime!




Garrison & I played a weekend-long game of Monopoly.  And he won.  In fact, he almost bankrupted me.  He had a good strategy and executed it flawlessly!  

Grammy came up to spend a few days with us while Daddy & Grandpa were away (see below).  We had a great visit and even got to try out Freezing Moo for the first time while she was here.  The kids liked watching their ice cream be made and it was so good, too!


Chad & Grandpa took a golf trip to Phoenix with Dennis & Randy.  They had beautiful weather and enjoyed playing 5 different courses in 5 days!  Here are just a few pictures from their trip!
