Marki's School Play

This year Marki got a part in her school play. Crimson Point had two days where they would have about 10 kids take turns with lead parts. Marki was "Molly" a little girl who gives her heart to Melton the snowboy, or girl in this instance. He begins to melt as soon as she puts the heart around the snowgirl. The rest of the play the try and figure out how to save Melton from Melting. It was super cute. Here she is on day one. My little reindeer. I bravely took the boys by myself to day one of the play.
So after an hour of the play it seems to be wrapping up. The music teacher goes to make a comment and Levi pipes up "Oh please don't let them start another one!" Everyone around us started laughing so hard while I am giving him my dagger eyes.

Here she is on her debut day.

Marki and Taylor







Singing her heart out! As always.



Our little star.





Marki, you did such an amazing job! Daddy and I are SO proud of you. Keep shining my little star.


Levi, I can't wait to see you in a play when you get to first grade. I have a feeling you will keep people laughing for days;)

And Now Little Snowman to get a good start...I'll give you my love, I'll give you my heart

Back home to Montana

A lot happend at our last trip home. My most charming child turned five! Ahhhhhhhh! And of course he was top dog all day. It's crazy to think he will be in Kindergarten soon.


Mark and I tried curling for the first time and we absolutely loved it. I don't think we've ever had so much fun in the cold. It was much warmer in the hockey rink than it was outside. We aren't used to that anymore!





Mark and I went to the shooting range which we will continue to do here. So much fun but again my fingers froze off.





Then the third day Marki got really sick. Really sick :( Followed by Oliver and then Mark. I thought I was lucky and was to avoid it but no. I ended up in the ER sicker than I have ever been in my life. Yuck. And I missed Ali and Jacks baptism. That really made me sad. Mark is Ali's godfather and I am Jack's godmother. I would haved loved to have been there. Here are some pics from the Benjamin house.



























Love it.







Auntie Kayla made kitties and puppies.















Levi's iron man birthday cake gramma goose made.



Make a wish!



































We will be throwing Lee a friends party once the holiday's are over so he can celebrate at his favorite place. The batting cages of course.



Marki and Levi's First Deer

Hunting on the Anderson farm. My two little hunters going out to hunt. The first day Mark went out with just Levi. When Marki woke up she was very upset that they didn't take her with them. She went the next day though and I can't believe I have such a little huntress. She is definately a meat eater and ate all the deer meat that night that we cooked for dinner. She and Mark will be the only ones eating the rest of it. I am only a fan of Elk and that is on a very good day for me. I can't wait til I get one next year so Marki can have some jerky!

Off to get dinner.
Success!


These kids were so excited! We will definately go year after year.

Fun with Family!

While in Seattle we were able to get together with my cousin Shawn and Tracy and their kids Eli and Zane. They are sooo adorable. It was great visiting you guys!


Crazy women drivers. Marki and Eli.
So serious.

I really like this pic Shawn took. He has all the good photos that I copied :)

Bumper cars.

Marki and Oliver LOVED this ride.

Levi not so much.

They stopped the ride to let Lee and the boy next to Marki off. I love how Olli is looking at Lee.

Wheee! Let's go again!

Dad, if you click on this pic you can really see their happy faces.





We had a great time with the Anderson's! We will get together again next year!
