Caleb's Choir Concert

A few days ago Caleb let me know he was going to have a choir concert. I had no idea what a big production it would be! Grades 7-12 were involved. They did such a great job!

We of course picked the opposite side Caleb was on but we could still hear his lovely voice!

He spotted me and couldn't help but smile!

Jon being the Young Mens President at church he has become close to a few of the young men that also sang. This part was hilarious!

All of them back together was amazing! They sounded so good!

Our cute kitties

The best entertainment comes right from our own house! Socks just loves boxes of any kind...especially if there is a wrapper on it.

They love the fresh air from outside! Socks has started to venture outside since these pictures were taken, but Lily is still a fraidy cat!...I'm okay with that!

Coyote Hunting

One Saturday Jon took Caleb and I coyote hunting. The boys were excited about the hunt, I was excited to take pictures! The landscape was beautiful and serene. There was a slight breeze and the sun was shining. I couldn't believe how warm it was for a February day. We sat for quite a while and then Jon found a coyote. He got it! I'm never the kind of person that delights in killing but I know that coyote populations need to be managed to help other species as well. Jon has two pelts from previous hunts that he saved and they are beautiful!

Here Jon is going to get closer to the coyote.

What a view of the plains we had.

And what a sunset!

Andrew's 7th birthday

Our young man has turned 7! It's a little strange not having a little toddler running around in our house anymore...of course now we have 3 big boys running around the house! Yikes! I love Andrew's enthusiasm with things. He thoroughly enjoyed singing happy birthday along with everyone else!

Andrew requested something with legos and I know he loves M & Ms so here we have a pirate lego guy with his "loot"!

I love Andrew's randomness and cuteness! We were enjoying some hot cocoa together when Andrew decided one straw just wasn't enough. He needed more like 10! Caleb liked the idea too! Funny boys!

Andrew's $$

For Christmas Jon got a new wallet. It had an insert part that he gave to Andrew. Over the past few months Andrew managed to save up a bunch of change. He took it out of his piggy bank and decided to put it in his new "wallet". Somehow it fit!
