Getaway to the Belchers

The kids had a extended holiday over presidents day so we took a little getaway to visit the Belchers for the weekend.  We had a great time!

 

Basketball senior night!

February brought Senior night for basketball.  WOW! This season has been something!  I will definitely document the ups and downs of the season.  But on this night, we were just so happy to celebrate Laexin - and frankly, I can not believe we are already here!

And this is what happens when Lytzi has the camera, ha!

 I just love all these boys!  They've been playing together for a good 10 years and its been awesome!

January 2025

 We started out our new year in the BEST way!  Lytzi is turning 12 this year and can now do baptisms for the dead.  We found a weekend when we could all go together to the Pocatello Temple and it was awesome!  Linq got to hang out in the waiting room while the rest of us did baptisms.  So special to have Laexin there baptizing his sibilings!

January can be rough when it is so cold outside ...and extra rough for us this year as we really don't have a yard or anywhere to go beyond our 4 walls of this rental.  Linq had spent some time playing with his RC outside and had been begging to go to the frozen canal and play with his car there.  So we finally took him, LeGrand followed him around and I stayed in the warm car, ha!

On a shopping trip to Poky we discovered a new delicious mexican place...I was dying over LeGrands massive lunch!

In January Linq was nominated as a Cub of the Month. This kid is loved by everyone!

BEST Christmas break EVER!

 
We had a great Christmas complete with a yummy prime rib cooked by LeGrand but the highlight of the year came after Christmas when our friends from South Carolina showed up.  Their arrival had been planned since before we left SC and was literally the only thing that kept Loa going some days --we were SO SO excited to get to spend time with them.

They were coming to a family reunion at Beaver Mtn. so the Whitney and Patrick Moss family arrived a little early so that we could spend time together.  Just so happened they rented an Airbnb up 8 mile and we got the most snow of the year that week and so they were mostly snowed in --it made for lots of laughs trying to get back and forth (even having to get rides from the neighbor) and fun memories!  The kids of course LOVED all the snow and spent everyday sledding.

We finally adventured out one day and showed the Mosses around Soda and Grace, Soda springs, Geyser, and Ice caves

Then on New Years day we were able to meet up with ALL of our Moss friends in Garden City --Such a happy day, especially for the kids!

It really was a dream to get to see and spend time with our dear friends! The only problem...it wasn't long enough.  Poor Loa cried to have to say goodbye, she especially misses them SO much!  South Carolina truly blessed our lives in priceless ways!
