Dancing Queen

Gwen LOVES her music. The second she hears a beat, she starts dancing. She has been doing a lot of sit down dancing as her leg is still in a cast, but today she was standing and started dancing. Her brother decided it would be funny to make an appearance as well (at the end of the video). Love these kiddos so much!


We had a special visitor today, Carol, Vann's primary NICU nurse came by with some Christmas goodies. She is such a sweet person and we love that Vann knows who she is and what an amazing role she and other staff members played in his life. This time of year I am often reminded of how much we are loved and how much we appreciate and love others.

Congratulations Jeff!

Today Jeff graduated with his degree in Business Management from Boise State. Although it has taken him longer than he wanted, he has never given up and always stayed on course. We could not be prouder of him. Vann and I went to the ceremony, while Gwennie stayed at home with our friend Jen.  

Here are some pictures from the graduation ceremony! WAY TO GO JEFF!

Happy 4th Birthday Vann!

Happy 4th Birthday Vann! We can't believe it has been 4 years already. Both Jeff and I are so amazed by Vann's continued kindness, soft heart and love of life. He brings nothing but joy to our lives and we are honored to have him as our son!

This morning I got to spend some time in Vann's classroom and watch him do his birthday celebration. He is holding earth and walks around the sun "4" times, for every year he has been here.




At home we opened some presents, had some cake, and he even got to FaceTime with his cousins Henry and Charlie. The 3 of them are hilarious:) 

He had a great day and I will end this blog with one of his birthday comments, "Um, since I am 4, I am just going to grab my backpack and go to school all by myself."
