More of January....

Beautiful sunset in Council

January 2015

We spent January 1st-6th at the cabin in Council.  One day we went swimming at Zim's and enjoyed a yummy BBQ dinner afterwards at a restaurant in New Meadows.

The four oldest all crammed into the backseat of our truck.  That's how is goes when you have a family of seven and truck that seats six!

Enjoying the beautiful snow!

All five of them :)

Helping Mom make pizza!

Porter loves to help Mom bathe "EE"

Hyrum and Lydia enjoying their new Wii game, Just Dance.  It sure is fun to watch them and even more fun to see them play together...

January 15th, 2015 Ephraim is 3 months new today!  Ephraim is a happy little baby who rewards you greatly with big smiles and giggles if you spend time with him. 
Oh, sweet boy how I love you!

Swimming at Zim's.  I'm pretty sure that basketball was a constant with Porter.  There's no question what that boy loves!

This little guy is part fish!  He LOVES to swim!

Lydia's been taking sewing lessons from our neighbor, Charlene Nestor.  One day Hyrum decided for his school assignment he would sew a coat of many colors.  He wasn't so teachable while using Lydia's sewing machine so the sleeves turned out way too small.  You can see a bit of them in this photo.  They barely went on Lydia's arms.  Way to attempt, Hyrum.  Lydia made a pillow case and is currently working on a dress.

Hyrum and Lydia went to Pick N Pack (convenience store by our house) and bought candy and then lied about it.  These are their apology letters...

Lydia likes to do my hair and I enjoy her doing it!  So thankful for a daughter!

Jon's been playing in the Weiser basketball league again and Lydia's also been playing rec. basketball.  She's doing really well this year and quite enjoys it!
