Birthday, kefir and gluten-free...

 

 Happy 15th Birthday to Isaac!

 

 After supper with a choice of potato soup or corn chowder.  Mmmm!  We had a gallon of each leftover!  Yes!!! I miss leftovers!  We rarely have them or else it isn't enough left for everyone! 

 My nephew Lane enjoying a glass of strawberry kefir.  We got a few yogurt products in our Azure order this week, enough to have something (almost) everyday.  We really like the kefir drinks.  We are trying a maple flavor and vanilla flavored yogurt this month too.  Always thinking of our gut health!!! :)  Fun stuff :) 

 Lane really likes it and kept saying, "More please."

Lena likes yogurt too.  Emily walked up to her right after this picture and Lena asks, "Are you having pancakes or are you gluten-free?"  It makes me laugh to hear her talk like this :))  The other day Isaac said to someone not to get crumbs on his food and she replied, "Why? Are you gluten-free?" 

Camp...

 Lena having fun telling me to take a picture of her like this!  :)   We had a great weekend at camp again.  Third year for us to go and the kids had the best time of all.

 Em with friends goofing around as I was trying to take a picture of them.

 Lena had enough of skating.  She begged and begged to skate and then it wasn't quite so fun as she thought it would be.  She did well going halfway and then kept partially falling and I think it scared her too much.

 Moriah loved it though!

 Here are some kids in their bed the first night we were there.  We were able to stay three wonderful nights! 

 Rebekah came home with three or more addresses of girls to write to.  It's one of her favorite things to do; write to people.

 About the only picture I got of Gideon the whole weekend!

 Jordan and her friend Krissy from Montana!  The place was filled to the brim.  All of the rooms were full!

My boys helping with dishes.

Life lately...

 Happy Sweet Sixteen to Emily and Happy 11th to Rebekah!

 Emily was having a real hard time blowing out her candles.  She did manage to do it eventually.

 My parents were able to come for supper on Em and Bekah's birthday!  Here they are with the kids!

 Happy 20th Birthday to my beautiful oldest girl Jordan!

 We cooked a grilled cheese sandwich downstairs on the wood stove.  It was the perfect sandwich!

 Yesterday, we had our last Christmas celebration with Grandpa Rich, Aunt Lois and Uncle Wayne and my brother and family. 

 Saturday night we were playing some games while Grandpa watched.  Kevin is intent on his next move in Connect Four with Moriah.

 More Christmas yesterday!  My brother and his wife!

All of Grandpa Rich's grandkids.  The boys got headlamps from Grandpa.  Kevin uses his every day at work, so much easier than a flashlight.  I think he just wears it most of the day so he doesn't misplace it.
