We had a long Christmas break with school being closed two days early because of snow. It was a beautiful white Christmas the entire break. We had my niece Shelby here along with Jason & Jody's family, and of course Chelsie. Our house was full of excitement everyday as the kids and some of their friends played in the snow together, played all kinds of games together, went snowboarding together and ate a lot of good food together. What a wonderful way to spend the holiday.
We are now back into the swing of things as everyone is at their own homes and the kids all back in school.
We wish you a Happy New Year!
CHELSIE
Chelsie is off to college at EWU in Cheney. She loves living on her own, but does get homesick every now and then. I love the phone calls I get that go like this," Mom, how do I fix......?" I still do that with my mom sometimes.
TANNER
A senior this year, wow! I can't believe it. He loves his "senior" schedule and how easy school is. He is having a great year playing football and can't wait for snow to fall on Mt. Baker.
MCKENZIE
I know I am old because Mckenzie is a Junior in highschool. She is having a great season in volleyball. She is finally 16 and was able to go to homecoming. She is having to work hard for her grades, but finds plenty of time to play. I don't know if she will admit this, but she really misses Chelsie!
CORY
Cory loves being a freshman and having older siblings at school. They made the road a little smoother for him. He is playing freshman football and gets taller everytime I see him. He makes us all laugh all the time.The snow can't fall soon enough for Cory.
COOPER
My baby is a middle schooler. Coop is in 7th grade and so glad to be out of elementary. He loves playing football and keeping up with his older brothers. He is anxiously waiting for snowboard season.
Our annual "Go Ferndale" blue & gold picture. Troy is coaching at the middle school this year. Cooper likes having his dad as his coach, but had to let him know that just because he was his son didn't mean he couldn't get the ball more. They have made the necessary adjustments to keep the peace. I am everyones biggest cheerleader. I make sure everyone has a full tummy before they head to their game and have camera in hand as I watch the game. I also make sure we are loaded with food for the aftergame get togethers that seem to have become a tradition. We are having a blast.
