Madison and Austin news

Madison and Austin both got the CEO award at school this month. Madison on December 5th, and Austin on December 12th. CEO stands for chief example to others. Madison got the award for always coming prepared and with a great attitude! Way to go Madison! I am so proud of my kids. They are such good kids and students at school. Last Sunday Madison got her hair cut. She got bangs, and some highlights! At first she didn't like it, but I think its growing on her. I love it, sad thing is it makes her look older! She is still as beautiful as ever! Thanks Cara for the great hair cuts and colors you always give us!
Austin got the CEO for following directions! I'm so proud of him too! When they get the CEO award they get a free kids meal at Mimi's Cafe. Way to go Austin!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had such a great Thanksgiving this year! Jake had to work so we had dinner with the Schaugaard family, and then a few hours later we had dinner at the firestation. Jake's crew invited their families to come and eat. It was a good day with a lot of good food, good family, and alot to be thankful for!

The day after Thanksgiving, we went to Kemmerer! We love to go there, and had alot of fun. The kids love going to the chicken coop to gather eggs. Jake and Blake were able to go duck hunting, and Stratton and Austin went with them one of the times. They all loved that.
When we got there on Friday, we went to the forest to get fresh cut Christmas trees! Jake really didn't want to get one I'm not sure why, but we all talked him into it, and we came home with 3 of them. All strapped to the top of our Yukon!! It was pretty funny.
Madi wanted her own tree, so we let her pick one out for her bedroom.

The kids all loved looking for trees. I think we need to make this a tradition!
