Caleb is almost 17 months old!
He is a pretty messy eater.
He is still cute!
Abby turns 4 in a couple of months.
Sisters make the best friends!
She loves adventure! This picture was taken at the Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve, in Boise.
Leslie is a sweet 5-year-old.
She loves playing with her siblings, especially Caleb.
They are special little friends.
Emily is 7 and in 2nd grade. She keeps losing teeth!!
She helps get all of the kids playing together and is a fun older sister to them.
She loves arts and crafts. She painted this for her school's yearbook cover contest.
I got to see my brother Justin a few weeks ago. He lives in Montana, so we don't get to see him too often. It was really fun!
Mom and Caleb finally bonded!
We made sugar cookies for Valentine's Day. This was one of my favorites.
My brother Dillon and his daughter Ruby were in town last weekend. The girls loved playing Barbies with Ruby.
Me and Dillon...can you tell we're related? I'm #6 and he's #10. It's fun to have so many siblings.
Our smiley boy.
He's growing up so fast!
Until next time!
The beginning of this month was crazy with our entire family getting sick over the entire Winter Break. Emily made me this awesome painting to help me remember: "You got this!" Pretty cool family motto, don't you think?
A couple of weeks ago our good friends, the Roses, came by for a visit. We used to be neighbors and would play together all the time. In the year since we moved, they moved to Nevada and had twins!
The next day we went to my Aunt Dana's house for a delicious dinner and to see her puppies.
They were so cute!
Emily loved them!
Last Friday we went to Emily's school for lunch. This is her second time being the Ram of the Week. She's a good girl.
Here is Emily with the principal. She was the Ram of the Week for Library, Music, and P.E.
That afternoon we went to the Swenson's house to play. The kids had a lot of fun dressing up!
Yikes!
On Saturday Dad and Mom Burr came for a visit. Emily is really into art and crafts. She loved watching Mom crochet, and eventually she even tried it!
Caleb actually really warmed up to Dad Burr, this is just his face when Greg started to fly his drone...that got stuck in my hair! Fun times around here!
Leslie had been counting down the days until her birthday for a while and on Sunday she finally turned 5!
She loved having both sets of grandparents here and Malerie, Michael, and Millie!
Opening presents is always a combined effort around here!
Emily read one of Leslie's cards to her.
All covered in wrapping paper.
They love hanging out at Aunt Malerie's house...especially when there is a Cinderella carriage to ride.
Best day ever!

He is getting so big!
16 months old and quite the little cutie!
Until next time!
Our Ward Christmas Party was on Friday the 13th this year! We all had a great time though and got to hang out with Santa for the second time this season!
On Wednesday, December 18, Emily had her Christmas Program at school. She sang lots of fun songs.
Naturally, she was the cutest one in the program!
Leslie had her Preschool Christmas Program on the 19th.
She sang every word and wasn't nervous. I was so proud of her!
Here is Leslie's cute Christmas ornament she made at preschool.
On Friday, December 20, I got to see 3/4 of my brothers: Derek, Joel, and Dillon. A rare occurrence! I'm blessed to have some awesome brothers!
I also got to see my nephew Ammon on his golden birthday...he turned 21 on the 21st!
I took these two girls to Kohl's to try on Christmas dresses. It was too cute with the green background and red dresses...definitely picture worthy.
After years of begging, Greg finally took me to see the Nutcracker. It was a much anticipated date and I must say, it did not disappoint!
We had so much fun! It may just have to be a holiday tradition!
My brother Dillon's family came over on Sunday afternoon to hang out with us. Theo is Caleb's age and they were cute little buddies in their matching outfits.
Ruby and Abby are also the same age. They had lots of fun playing princess toys together.
He's still cute, even with a sore nose!
This was the Christmas of sick kids. Emily got sick the Friday before Christmas and we've had at least one sick kid ever since.
On Christmas Eve, Grandpa and Grandma Flake came over for dinner. Even though some of the kids weren't feeling super great, we managed to get some smiles out of them!
Merry Christmas!
