Our new grandaughter!!!!!

On January 15th our sweet little Kassielynn was born! At 2:09 Bree and Jake were blessed with this special little angel! She weighed 8 lbs. and is 19 inches long!


Her big brother Kelton was ALL smiles as he waited PATIENTLY for Mom and Dad to get home! He had gone through ALL of his toys and split them so he could share with his new baby sister!

The Lord truly does answer prayers!

Mom & daughter :)

Kassie and her pretty Mommy, Bree!

#12!!! YAY!

Kelton is SO proud of his lil sis! It was fun to watch him love on her!!!

She had to be under the lights for a few days so Kelton put on his shades so he could sit by her!

We are SO grateful for the blessing of having little Kassie in our lives! Jake and Bree are the BEST parents and deserve every blessing that has come their way!

"Some of the Lords BIGGEST blessings,

Come in the LITTLEST packages"

Oh how we LOVE sledding!!!

One of our family traditions has always been to go tubing a few times with the WHOLE fam damily! But it seems like the last few years there just hasn't been enough snow or it didn't last enough to get everyone together!!! But this year has been GREAT! We've had quite a few fun- filled tubing excursions!!!


Tash & Kiley headed up the hill



Jace giving Cody a lil push to send him on his way!!!



Blake getting a cup of hot chocolate to warm him up!



And Kiley WAITING for him to HURRY!



Lonnie, Rhonda, Mike, Emily, Maghan and Kade all got on a HUGE tube and went down! Most of the time they were fine.....UNTIL.... they went into this ditch and got a major white wash!!! It was SO funny! And we just loved that they ALL could come up laughing and enjoying every wet, FREEZING moment of it!!! :)

Dustin & Matasha ;)

Hadlee and her new puppy "Gator" that she got for Christmas! He came tubing with them and even went down the hill a few times!

Houston (a.k.a. "Hub") Our happy lil sledder! NOT! He's only smiling because he's NOT on a sled or a tube!!! He is not impressed with the whole idea! He kept telling Tash, "No, don't go you will get hurt!"

But, she went on down anyway!!!! "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

I was SO proud of Hadlee! She did pretty darn good on her snowboard!!!

Father and son! Sitting still! Just the way Hub likes it!!!!

GO DUSTIN GO!!!!!!

Kayla "jumping for JOY" because she just LoVeS tubing so much!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOOOO :)

"Brady McDonald and his family E-I-E-I-O!"


Well thats 2 of the trips we took but there will be MORE TO COME.........
