Our family just had the priviledge of spending a week at Homeschool Science Camp at Mt. Hermon in the Santa Cruz mountains. The boys had some great experiences and learned a lot. They went on hikes each day and Jon and Alayna went on them too. Sarah and the babies usually stayed around camp and took walks around the beautiful campus. We are all very exhuasted but had a great week of growing together as a family and learning lots of new things about God's amazing creation!

Jon's Grandma O came for a visit and all of us girls went to an early Christmas party.




Josiah got a ball from Grandma O and everyone who knows Joe knows he loves balls! He wanted to sleep with his new one.




Jon's sister Sharon and her family came for a visit from Iowa. Becca and Ally are the same age and had fun together dancing and playing with dolls.



It has been a while since Jon's whole family was together-all 5 kids and their spouses and kids. It was good to see everyone!

Twins? Alayna celebrating her 3rd birthday.
