Trip to AZ

We were able to travel to AZ by plane for a couple of days with our AZ family.  We were celebrating Cash's 1st birthday.  He had a great party, with little friends, and big friends, and family galore. 

 

We were able to walk to the Desert Breeze park on two different days.  The weather was lovely. 

Two little friends - they were all born within 1 week or 2 of each other.
Alice, Cash, Sadie

Aunt Kristine and Hannah gave him a sports toy, and Josiah put it together.  I don't know who had more fun !!   :) 

This little one LOVES to cuddle

Manda LOVES her picture taken - NOT 

Cash is a great eater

We had a wonderful visit.  It was hard to come home.
I may have to do this for my birthday EVERY year. 

Brightyn is NINE

She is getting so BIG - almost a young lady !

Sweet to her sisters.  I love to listen to her reason with Bexlee, she is so good and kind. I would LOVE to have her as a big sister.  Bex and Bentley are so lucky. 

Bright got a canvas and paints, and she did a portrait of Grandma SUE.  LOVE IT. 

Cash is ONE

Someone is ONE !!

A trip to the Park on his birthday was in order. 

Love Cam's words

Cam and Cash
Love you guys :) 

Cash is climbing and walking all over now.  

Odds and Ends

Payson got a 3D printer for Christmas.  He and Landon have been learning and having so much fun with it.  They made this replica of the Salt Lake Temple for Grandpa Marlin. 

I was able to go up on a new ski lift located in Morgan County.  It was a beautiful day.  Amazing views. 

We had a very low key New Years - Cam and Josiah celebrated too.

Over New Years, there was a lot of sickness at the West Haven Rich Ranch.  Pretty much everyone was either throwing up or "the other".  I'm glad they are all feeling better now. 

Bex and Pays are still going to Chaos fitness, and doing so well.  Bright keeps busy with her dancing and tumbling.  Between Piano lessons, sewing lessons, pre-school, elementary school, baseball, etc.  They are very very busy !!

Sure has been a GREAT winter - Look at all of our snow !! LOVE IT.  Keep it coming, especially in the mountains. 

I put on my coat at work and tried to save some limbs on our tree. 

Happy Birthday gifts to me from Manda.  Oil sprayer, and mini electric whisk.  LOVE IT !! 

They always make ONE BIG ONE every year.  Glad Dad is such a good sport and helper. 

Remembering our angel in heaven.

 

Grandma Sue

On the morning after our Christmas Adam sleepover, Landon had come to pick up the kids in preparation for a Christmas Eve party at Grandma Sue's.  But it was not to be :(  Kacey called, and Grandma Sue was being taken to the hospital with chest pains.  It turned out to be very serious, and the next day on Christmas she passed away at her home while visiting with family and opening presents.  

They had a wonderful funeral for her, and as I listened to the tributes and memories, it made me want to be a better person.  She was truly one of a kind.  

Our family presented this to Kacey as a remembrance of Grandma Sue.
