Yummy food!

There's Kevin on the right. He's about to make an announcement...

There's Heather on the right, she has a secret...

The secret has been revealed. Everyone is so happy!

Wanna know the secret? Kevin gave the blessing on the food, and he ended it with "please bless the baby in Heather's tummy too!!!".

Baby's due in June. Grandbaby number 17 right?

Ok, let's eat!

leaving on a jet plane

This was the day we were packing for our trip to Utah. Owen was ready to go!

We took an evening flight hoping the kids would sleep. Thankfully they did once we were in the air. Our flight ended up being delayed so dealing with two tired screaming kids in the airport was pretty much a nightmare. I'm glad Mike was with me :)

Note to self: Never put 6 eggshells in the the garbage disposal or else your sister will have to play handyman to get the drain unclogged. Nice job Nan!

Oh how Abby loved the snow!

Owen and his cousin Mack. Owen is 5 months older and about 15 pounds heavier. Our big bruiser!

Owen loved Mimi's Buzz wings. Obsessed!

Merry Christmas from Buzz!

Shay's baby shower

My friend Mandy and I threw a baby shower for our friend Sharilyn. It's her first baby and she's having a girl! It was so fun to see my friends! We called Jannie on Skype so she could join in too :) I haven't got to hang out with these gals for a long time so it was really great to see them when I went home for Christmas.
