January 2025



Shopping and Chick-fil-A day

I bought new black booties.

Katherine participated in a cool softball clinic when Kylee was in town.






We had a lot of snow and enjoyed the snow days! Katherine, Grant, and Danny carved out and built a snow cave!
Grant bought his first car. It was cool, but turned out to be a lemon, so he only kept it for a few days, helped Danny to fix a few things, and resold it. 



Katherine is playing basketball again!  


It has been fun to play with and against friends.

Her coach is so nice and has taught them a lot! The team has shown a lot of growth!

Coach Stanton is Coach Miesha's (Kate's coach from last year) dad, so she came to help too! That was great!

I love the new youth theme for the year. "Look Unto Christ."

We made the largest paper chain ever at the Jarvises house one day!

Kim and Jerry Cooper are leading a Pioneer Trek for the youth this summer. I love the way that they dressed up and came to our start-of-the-year fireside to drum up interest!

Look at these adorable YW who attended!

I was tasked with minimal decorations. This cute YM appeased me by smiling for the picture with the cookie table.

More favorite YW from Piedmont!
G and Juliana were there too. Such cute friends!

More Basketball! Good D, Kate!












Katherine participated in the science fair at her school. It made me happy. She was inspired by one of my former YW, Brianna Dignard's you-tube channel. I am blown away by Brianna's talent, though not surprised. Her parents are amazing, and she has been doing incredible things since she was young!

December 2024

 



Gingerbread Day was great as usual.  V made a reel.

Impromptu daughter outing! We love it when V comes home to visit.
Target and starbucks for the win.
Grant was my Christmas parade buddy this year. Thanks, G!
Katherine and Danny walked with LL again.
Grant met up with Colin too- so festive and adorable!
Wisdom teeth removal went well, but Grant was extremely convinced and concerned that they had cut out his tongue.
I found this amazing Nativity spread about in pieces at a thrift store this summer and was so thrilled to clean it and display it for Christmas!
Katherine and I went to see Wicked with the Jarvises and made some cool Wicked cupcakes to share.
Fun night.
Love spotting G on the SCA instagram.
Grant won a prize at the Parker's Gingerbread party this year!
Pretty cool log cabin!













Picture overload, I know, but we loved going to a Christmas tea with Grandma, Eve and Lorel this year. It was a special day!
I got to hang with Emily and take her to school one day.

Hockey gift exchange makes me happy. Love this pile of Christian's friends shoes and love hearing them laugh and have a blast in the basement.

It was so kind of Mrs. Hyde to host an SCA Christmas Party.



Mia and Christian made dinner for our whole family for our Anniversary. They have been trying out a lot of neat recipes this year and are great cooks!

Sibling Gift Exchange





Christian and Mia also made Smore's Dip! They even brought gluten-free graham crackers for V and JT.  So thoughtful 

and so yummy!

Christmas Eve!
Katherine loved the softball blanket from a CO cousin!

Saran wrap ball is so fun! Thanks, Grandma!

Music from Isaac wad good!


Cousins singing was good too.

The chimes were...Well, watch the reel.

It didn't feel the same on Christmas without V there, but we kept up with traditions the best we could. We were happy for her and JT to be able to be at his house on Christmas morning. He hadn't been home for Christmas for a while because he was away on his mission. It also made a lot of sense because his mom's side of the family does a huge breakfast together on Christmas Day. They were able to come to the Marshall's on Christmas Eve and the Soderholms on Christmas Evening!

I know my writing has been lacking- I am months behind and am trying to catch up (I am back-dating for accuracy.) Also, Iguarantee that I am omitting important aspects of life, but if I don't have a picture, months later I am likely forgetting a lot.
