Winter Fun

I'm doing a little blogging marathon to catch up here! This Winter has been awesome with the mild weather and sunny days! Logan has been working so hard in school and been putting in some long hours. I'm so grateful for all that he does and how he still always being the best husband too! For reading week we headed to Edmonton for a break. Logan also was flying out to go to Seattle to take an aptitude test so it worked out great. As well, in February my parents came out to visit for the weekend! It was so fun to have visitors again! (Thanks Jen for the pictures)
It is crazy how fast the semester is going! Only one more month of classes then Log is in final exams again, then we are off to Phoenix! We are also so excited for another niece or nephew coming in the next few weeks! Life is so good!

Date night at DQ... there's nothing like a blizzard even when its -20!

Also at the Nature Center. It was fun to take the kids there and play around for the afternoon.

While we were all in Edmonton we were also able to celebrate Nate's 30th bday... we sure love him! We are also so excited for Nate & Whit's arrival in September!

Crazy kids!

Christmas Holidays 2011.. finally!

I wrote this up in January... aaaaand it's March now. Whoops!
We had a wonderful Christmas holiday this year! We were able to spend lots of time with our families and just enjoy being home. Being further away has definitely made us both cherish our families even more. I was able to head out to Southern Alberta a bit early with Amy and spend some time at home with my parents while Log worked hard and finished up his exams. I'm so grateful he is so diligent and hard working with his schooling! Once Logan finished up he came out and we went on over to the Orrs'! It was great to see all of his siblings and hangout before we headed back to Taber for Christmas. We had an action packed Christmas with all sorts of activities! We went on a hay-ride, played lots of games, went to the Nativity, hot tubbing, played some basketball, snowboarding, went to the temple, and curling. We truly feel so blessed to have such wonderful families and also are grateful for the love and support which they always show to us! Here are some pictures of our memorable break!
