This darn stinkin' cute young man is now 15!

Mugsys with some of the gang!

We didn't celebrate much this year due to everything (game on his bday) but he wanted brownies (Easy!) (hands in pockets - almost always!)

We had 4" of snow and that resulted in THREE snow days.  We made the most of it with an afternoon of sledding with friends and neighbors.

Jason had TWO snow days - first ever cancelled in advance - so we slept in and kept on PJ pants most every day.

Grant had four buddies go with him sledding.

There's Anna, Grant, Henry and Caleb in their long line. They were "snowboarding" too.

Chilling - literally - with John

I found Kelly and family!

I rode back to the house with the Lawsons so Jason could help this whole group of knuckleheads back to their 9th grade party (and then deliver my family home safely).

Thankful for fun neighbors!

cutest and bestest and most funnest husband around!

Kyle went to a birthday overnight at a casino/cool place with his friend.  Good time and new place to explore.

The land... hunting for beavers and wild hogs....

Reid said the pond looked just like a beaver. Gotta say, it is pretty darn close!

Grant and Jason updated his lights to LEDs - makes the truck look a decade newer!

My spot for a few days - couch with a snowy view

A big event happened here - Reiders got his braces!  His case is the most complex of the boys and will take the longest to be finished.  He was all smiles for about 30 minutes and then completely over them. His front gap was closed so quickly (hours) and he was in pain for 3 days.
