Ireland had a blast at her first EFY over the summer.
Her roomie was Grace. She's right in the middle in the blue.
We went to the Manti pageant with the YW/YM group.
St. George vacation...hiking in Snow Canyon.
Our niece Savannah came with us on the trip.
She and Ireland are like sisters.
More cousins...Mia, Ireland, and McKenzie at Knotts Berry Farm in California.
These three never tire of fun!
I love this picture of Caleb and his cute friend Ruby! Check out those faces!! Ha Ha!!
We vacation to St. George a lot and we meet up with our good friends the Romneys every time we are there. This is Ireland, Caleb and Ruby (Romney) at the Romneys St. George house. Love the view!
Ireland doesn't love soccer as much as I do, but I've managed to talk her into playing
for several years. She plays half back (mid field) like I did and loves the huge amount of running she has to do (not!)
I think I already posted this picture, but we'll look at those cute kids again! This was at Knotts Berry Farm on a hot hot summer day (can you see the red faces?)
Ryan and Ethan and Ethan's best friends at Entrada in St. George.
(left to right Ethan, Ryan, Eli Cloward, Luke Romney)
The cute kids!
Christmas picture 2014
(not sure why I'm making a fist? Maybe because family pictures
are stressful and everyone hates doing them?)
The traditional flex picture. Ryan's getting into it below...
Caleb and Scott taking a walk down the paved trail in Snow Canyon
Ryan and I are ahead in the distance
Hike in Zion's National Park...I think this was the Emerald Pools trail. Our kids love hiking...haha! They totally don't like hiking, but Scott and I do so we always go on hikes on our vacations. One day they will like it as much as we do. Maybe.
Caleb's a good last child. He puts up with all our hugging of him and promises to not get older.
We took the kids to the Little Mermaid at Tuacahn when we went to St. George over fall break.
They LOVED it! Even Ethan, who I was sure wouldn't like it, loved it. Since that first Tuacahn play, we've made it a tradition to go every year. We were rained out one year and accidentally missed it another year (I thought it was on Saturday night and it was on Friday night), so we haven't had great luck but we eventually saw another one (Tarzan) and plan to see lots more...
Halloween 2014! Ryan and Caleb plan what they will be about a year in advance, but of course by the time Halloween rolls around, they've changed their minds 5,042 times. Looks like Caleb was Batman, not sure what Ethan was?? (a nerd?), Ireland was Mary Poppins, and Ryan was a storm trooper type guy?? (not sure on that either?)
Some of Ireland's friends (all are in our ward)
(left to right) Kimi Aramaki, Sage Romney, Ireland, Jocie Dalley, and Emily Barlow. They are all a grade older than Ireland and such great girls! So happy that they are such good examples to her!
Cousins! This was at Brick Oven for Grandma Hacking's (Janet) Birthday party.
Madi, Ireland, and Savannah. What awesome cousins Ireland has!
It's hard not to have any sisters, but these cousins fill that role!
I think this was Christmas day or the Sunday before Christmas.
Ireland's choir concert
Ireland and her cute friend Hannah Dalley. They play soccer together too and are in the same ward.
Ireland made the top choir group "chamber"...here she is at the Christmas concert
(right in the middle of the picture)
Every Christmas Eve our ward puts on the Nativity play and the primary kids get to be in it
Caleb is pretty happy about being a shepherd.
Ryan was an angel and he wasn't very excited about that as you can tell from the lower picture, but I think someone told him he really was Caesar Augustus so he like that idea. In his mind he is Caesar :)
Scott loves to wrestle with the kids...this time they all ganged up on him
I love this tree! It is in the Draper park (right off 1300 E.). They light it every year at Christmas time. It's amazing! I can't believe how many lights they wrap around that thing! Awesome!
