still trying to get caught-up on all of the random from 2013.
in late winter my mom was here for a visit and my aunt donna and aunt linda came down for a few days to visit. my cousin rachel came too and we enjoyed an evening out getting sushi and going to a movie. (sorry for the horrible i-phone pics- lighting was dark).

in may chris and brady enjoyed a father/son camp-out at a beautiful piece of property that a friend in the wards' boss owns in rigby. this is the same site where we had girls' camp and the guys helped prep wood and the firepit area for the girls.
chris and bradys' cute little tent-
brady enjoying breakfast-time at the firepit with some of his friends
one sunny afternoon in summer we visited grammie and grandpa graf in burley and took the kids to Storybook Park." we had some great time playing hide-and-go-seek and exploring all of the tunnels.
chris took this sweet picture of olivia one night before going to bed. she had snuck into our room to fall asleep and was snuggled right up with the unicorn chris had won her the previous year at lagoon.
during the fall we made lots of treats and i often recruited my little helpers.
olivia, kaebryn (my neighbor girl i watched for the fall and spring) and mr. zach
sometime in the fall olivia lost her first tooth, followed by the tooth fairy forgetting for TWO DAYS to come! oops!
Halloween 2013- Mario, "Bat boy with a mustache" and "Kitty cat"
this momma got creative when we didn't pull our family costumes together. late night shopping the night before with brady, raiding zach's dresser drawers and the dress-up box for olivia. wal-lah.
in November, i took my friend, Natalie out for birthday dessert at chilis. we've tried to connect just with each other when we have birthdays; it's a good excuse to get out and chat just the two of us.
we enjoyed some fires during the late fall and winter for the first time. the first winter we lived in our house we hadn't gotten the chimney cleaned out and the fireplace inspected. it was so nice to cozy up to the warmth and crackle.
Bryce enjoyed making fires and was always up for the task when I asked him to
the kids absolutely love horsey rides from daddy after family prayer.
zach and brady getting silly one night and pretending to be grandpa morgan. sorry dad! totally their idea!!!
