Kylee's 7th birthday

Kylee with her ducky bath tub cake for her 7th birthday.

Kylee with Grandma and Grandpa Berrett and Abby. They bought her a purse for her birthday and this big lion for being so brave at school. She struggled starting first grade and said the worst thing about school was recess. It about broke my heart, but she is feeling more comfortable now and has made some friends. The lion was a great idea because Kylee had to try really hard to like school and be positive to earn the lion. Now if you ask her if she likes school she will give you a shy little grin and say yes!

Kylee with her Grandma D. Grandma gave her a Webkinz which she loves and takes such good care of on the computer. What a great pet to have!

Oh, what do you do in the Winter Time?

Tucker and Ty hanging out in the snow cave.

Our gorgeous Jaimee who is growing up too fast! She has been anxious for the snow to melt so she could start running track as an 8th grader at Rigby Junior High.

This is all of us in the entry to our snow cave. Matt and the boys, actually mostly Matt, got a pretty good workout this winter when they were building this snow cave. It was a circular snow cave and the kids thought it was pretty awesome. The boys all wanted to sleep in it, however, by the time they got around to doing so, it had somewhat melted.


Abby sliding down by our snow cave. She is very ready for summer. The other day she came in the house after having been playing outside on a pretty cold day and she said, "I'm not going outside again until summer!" I echo Abby's words--the weather just seems to go right through me and I am cold all the time--just like my own mother. I remember Mom saying why do we live in Idaho? I now find myself saying the same thing.
