The rest of January

 I ran into my childhood friend Melanie (Alm) Liljenquist at Ivans Bball game. Our son's played each other.

2022 the year of the Teva's. 

I got me a pair of these Teva boots and I wear them all the time. We got Sharon a pair for Christmas. 

Turns out Parker, Amy and Lisa also have a pair. 

Lehi mini drill camp

And to end a great month, at the beginning of a new year, little Brixton was baptized.

Jill's new dog

My friend Jill, from Arizona, came into town for a wedding. She stayed  with me and we got talking about Koda and how much we are enjoying him and she mentioned how they had to get rid of their dog and thought it would be fun to surprise her kids with a new one, sooooo we took a day and met puppies up in bountiful, back to Lehi  and then to provo where we  found this darling little guy. 

Fun surprise for her 3 boys. 

 

Jack's 12th Birthday

Jack is now a Deacon, passing the sacrament and receiving his first set of scriptures. "Yup, you're getting so big." (-Johnson Files)

 Everyone uses the gospel library app for scriptures, but these are a nice set.... that will look nice on the night stand anyway. 

We took a group of friends to the space center. We didn't get to celebrate with cousin Jared this year. In fact we still haven't even celebrated Christmas with my side of the family.

Happy Birthday Jack Thomas Balle

 

Little Miss Ophelia comes into our lives

 My cousin Kiersten has a daughter Rosey, who had a daughter Ophelia. 

We get to watch Ophelia on Wednesdays and Thursdays. 

She is so fun.

Two Thousand Twenty Two. Here we go.

These are the pictures taken the first 8 days into January. The first one of course it 12:05pm, the wee hours of the morning the first day of the year. It looks like it's a little loud for miss Kate. And I can't seem to find any other New Years eve pictures. I think this is the year I took one for the team and sent home about 9:00 to take care of Koda.
