Winter in the NW

 I want to blog about this so that when people say it doesn't snow in the NW I can prove them wrong.  This is our third time being snowed in since we have moved here.  We got a foot of snow that shut down the NW for Four solid days for sure.  Church was canceled and schools were closed. For some reason whenever I can't go out I really really want to :)  I feel like a caged bear and everyone stuck with me probably wish I could get out of the house :)

 George and Tayler decided to go build an igloo.  They were having fun.

 They didn't quite get it done though.  It was fun watching them.

 We stayed inside and played games.  Hope and Emma kicked my hinney at Clue :)  We played tons of games and ate tons of food and watched lots of movies.  What else can we do :)

 I guess check our phones or other devices Ha Ha :)  Glad the snow is gone and I can do what I want whenever I want.  I hope we don't have another storm like this for another 3 or 4 years :)

Oh Happy Day!!

Jackie, Emma and Tayler

 December 20th Tyler and Jackie graduated!  Tyler has his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Jackie has her Associates in General Studies.  We didn't find out until the end that Jackie could have walked and they would have read her degree in the same building as Tyler's. It was a very nice program and I was impressed with the way BYU-I did the graduation.

 December 23rd we finished loading up their stuff and headed over to subway for some quick breakfast :)  Tyler got a job in Orem and they will be living in Pleasant Grove :)

Judy

 My sweet sweet sister Judy came down to help.  I often say this but I seriously love my family.  Judy always always goes the extra mile and I love her dearly.

Emma

 I hope Jackie and Tyler can find everything after we unloaded boxes for them :)

 The new apartment will be so nice for them.  Two bedrooms will be heaven :)  I'm so excited for them. So many great thing's await them this year from the new job to the BABY coming in June.....so so much to look forward to. I was so glad we were able to come to the graduation and to help them move to Utah.  I miss them like crazy but I love that they have family close by that can help them and love them when I can't.

 Emma wanted to make a snow angel because who know's when she will see this much snow again :) It was great spending time with them and super hard to leave them but we always have this summer and any other times I can make it to Utah to see them.  We made it home Christmas Eve and had a wonderful Christmas.

October

George on the tour at Roloff farms

 At the beginning of the month Judy and Marc came to visit :)  They brought beautiful weather with them too :)  Marc has been a fan of Little people, big world.  We went to the Roloff farms here in Hillsboro to see if we could see any of the family.  We did see Amy but actually got pictures with Matt.  It was a successful visit :)

 One of our favorite places at Seaside :)  I couldn't believe Judy had never been there so we went and tried on a billion hats :)

Tayler's Senior Pictures

 Which one do you like? What a day.  The picture below shows more of what I had to deal with while trying to get these.  Of course I liked that over the bad attitude. I think we got some good ones though and I like them a lot.
