Happy 41st Mike

 We had a low key party this year for Mike.  He wanted to just go out to dinner and then have his favorite... German chocolate cake!  We sure do love this guy and are grateful for all he does for our family.  We are so grateful you were born!

Eagle Scout

Jason officially became an Eagle Scout today!  It has been a long process of pulling him through this, but in the end he did it!  He can now get his license and can feel proud of his accomplishment!

Friends

 Anne has a great group of friends in the ward.  They all go to different schools, but remain close and have the bond of being in the same ward.  They had these pictures taken and I think they turned out so cute!

Happy 14th Birthday Anne

 We love this girl to pieces!  I can't believe she is 14.  Anne has been an absolute joy to have in our home.  She is such a great older sister and is such a great example.  She excels at anything she puts her mind to.  We were so happy to celebrate her this day.  We did some shopping, went out to lunch, and then had dinner at home.  It was a great day for sure!

Wave Cave Hike

 February is definitely the best time of year to go hiking in Arizona.  We had lots of visitors from Utah this month.  Family trying to escape the cold and catch a few days with some warm sun!  Jill and Jeff came for a visit.  One day we hiked up to the wave cave and another day we hiked Camelback Mountain!  It was fun to get to know Jeff better.  We are hoping we joins our family here soon!

 Cathy came down over Valentines Day.  She just brought down Leah to celebrate a milestone with her diabetes.  Mike, Cathy, Eliza, and Leah went hiking and went to the Wave Cave too.  Lots of fun pictures and the desert was so green this year with all the rain we got over the winter!
