Festival...

Addie had her Violin festival and got a SUPERIOR! She has worked so hard - Thank you Heather for playing the piano.

She was a little nervous but did very good she only missed 3 points on the whole thing.

Porter earns his WEBLOS badge

Leslie Reiz-leader, & Bro. Lassley the cub master

Porter has the best leader and last week he received his Weblos badge, he got a segment and a pin. He loves scouts and I am proud of all he is doing. Way to go Porter!

Ski Pomerelle

On presidents day I took 3 of the 4 kids & went to Pomerelle skiing. Heather and Kyler came with us. We had a good time once Raygn couldn't go on the magic carpet anymore! (it was down for a few minutes) He would have been as happy as could be just staying on the bunny hill the whole day. Once we got him off (note- this was after he had gone down the mountain two times) he had a great time. Porter was all over the jumps and Addie likes to just do her own thing. Thanks Viv for tending Aleigha for Ryan!

My sick Aleigha

At Dr. Graham's today

She didn't want him to look in her ears but he did give her a sucker so she did let him.

We love Dr. Graham he is so good.

Still not feeling very well, It wasn't even an ear ache yet. Just water behind her ear or something like that.

Van Tassell Christmas Party

My cute nieces and nepfews!

We finally found a time that most of us could get together and have our Christmas party, Jan. 30th. We had a lot of fun! Gift exchange, ring toss, Jaxon played the drums, Addie played the piano, fondue, Hawaiian haystacks, rolls, pretzel salad, and got to hang out with everyone. We missed Kris, Lonz, and Dad & their families.

Cabin in Island Park

Michelle, Emily, Viv, Hailey, Subrina, Me, and Heidi went to the cabin in Island Park! It was a lot of fun. We had a dance (we took turns preforming!), played lots of cards, ate, talked, went to church-and wrote a note to try pick up a guy for Heidi in sacrament meeting-, got very little sleep, but had soooo much fun. Thanks everyone for coming & for all those who didn't come we missed you! Maybe next time.

Paul's Birthday!

Becky had a Mardi Gras party for Paul's Birthday, she had a different kind of hat for everyone...Yes Logan is in costume! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL, WE LOVE YOU TONS! o.k I have some memories with you too! I remember when Ryan and I were dating, you were always so nice to me. You watched Addie for Ryan and I when we were jet skiing and put her diaper on backwards! You always helped me find Porter when he was hiding on the farm. I see the love you have for Ryan and the way you have taught him to work and love the kids and I. What a good man you are, I could never ask for a better Father-in-law!
