Loyd is Sweet 16!

-

This handsome young man turned 16 years old this year!  He is hard working, goal oriented, fun loving, social, and and kind.  He sees what he wants to do in life and isn't afraid to figure out how to get there and put the work in to make it happen.  I'm so proud of the person Loyd is growing into.  He loves God, wants to do good in the world, and is a loyal friend, brother, and son.  He's on his way to going to great places in life and being a solid man for his friends and family to look up to  and rely upon.  

Happy Birthday to my oldest son!  Having the privilege of being your mother has taught me how to love deeply, be present in the moment, be aware of others around me, and plan for fun daily.  Loyd, you are a gift in my life and I can't image life without you.  Happy Birthday, son!




Shout out to Loyd's favorite furry friends, Jaybureano and Grant! Loyd is an excellent Gerbil dad

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
