Jan. 2021

Today is actually January 4th 2022!  I haven't blogged for an entire YEAR, so I'm going to try and sum up the last year of our lives and I figured I will try and do it by month!  That will keep it to 12 blog posts which seems much more doable than 365!  
Some of just photos to remember our lives and others have a story to go along with them.  
Kory wants to grow out his hair.  I've always made the boys have military hair cuts, but decided years ago that they can choose what they do with their hair.  Kory wants his long, but with his has come some face issues.  We bought him some new medicine and hopefully it helps.  Hopefully soon his hair won't rest on his forehead.  We'll see how this goes.  


Kyle made some bowl and a cup in ceramics.  I love them!  They are not only useful, but beautiful.  These are more special to me than any cup or bowl I could buy anywhere because they are made with his hands.  I love the talent.  

Coach Charles brought over her new puppy.  Oh how my boys want a dog.  Do you see their faces just wishing for a puppy.  Sorry boys...I guess you'll just have to dog sit whenever Coach asks you to.  Cute, but I'm not convinced yet.  

This Year Makai wants to try and get into better shape.  He's going to be a big boy, but he knows he needs to move more to try and stay fit.  This is him at the gym.  If you notice you can only work out of every other treadmill due to COVID.  But, at least the gyms are back open.  
Working out to a video on the tv.  Now doesn't that look fun.  When it's winter in Nebraska you sometimes have to resort to options of exercise that are indoor fun.  You got this buddy!  
January weather stinks!  So cold.  So cold!  
Makai helping shovel all of that snow!!
With the new changes the church has made Makai became a deacon in January instead of having to wait till December.  We did it at home because we are still doing at home church.  Congratulations son!  Now all 6 of the men in my house have the priesthood.
Makai is student of the month this month at his school.  The yard sign enjoyed it's month in the snow--couldn't reach the grass.  
Flights are pretty affordable this time of year as many people are not traveling due to COVID.  Monty found a good deal on flights for us to head to Utah to see his Dad and be there for Mahonri's baby blessing.
Kory was just on the other side of the place sitting by me.  We all LOVE wearing our masks.  Actually, when it's cold we don't really mind.  I just miss seeing his handsome face.  
Meet Mahonri!  Uncle TJ and Auntie Dora adopted Mahonri from Alaska.  He's such a good baby.  We were glad we could meet him when he as still so young.  
Does it get any sweeter than this.  Mahonri has many cousins to love him.  
Enjoying some indoor games as it wasn't exactly blazing outside.  The kids did play a lot of pickle ball.  We also found a gym to go to and they played basketball for a few hours.  St. George was beautiful.
Dad and I at Mahonri's blessing.  Again, church is still not in person, so we did it just with family.  There was a lot of family there to enjoy the festivities.  
Since Kory has been growing his hair out he was wondering if his hair was long enough to braid.  Well, Aunty Dora has a gift for braids, so yes.  She did an amazing job.
Before taking it out I snapped a pictures.  So, before...
And After...

We also were able to meet Grandpa Tini's new wife Maree.  They came for the blessing.  Tini wasn't doing so well, but it was good he got to be there.  

Picture with everyone but Tyler and Danny.  Pretty cool picture.

Grandpa with all his grandkids except Tyler.  Tyler would have loved to have been here.
