My husband's Grandpa Ward passed away this past Saturday. He was such a great and loving man. We will miss him so much. We love you Grandpa!

What we've been up to
Our sweet Alivia ended up with some health problems that we've been dealing with the last couple of weeks. We spent about 10 days down at Primary Children's hospital where she ended up having major surgery to try to correct a condition called Biliary Atresia. I've set up a blog dedicated to her story here. She is doing much better and we hope that things continue to improve.

Bo has been involved in wrestling and has been busy going to practices and meets. So far he has won 1st place getting a gold metal 2 times. He went to his first big tournement Saturday and got a 3rd place bronz metal. We are so proud of him. He is a good wrestler, but most importantly, he enjoys it and is having a great time doing it. It is a really good outlet for him.
Kaylee had her piano festival Saturday. This is her 5th festival that she has participated in. She did awesome! She received a 99, her highest score yet. And she received some very good comments from the judge. We are so proud of her and the hard work she put into learning her songs. She has great potential as a pianist if she will stay dedicated and keep practicing.
Sunday was Raegan's 4th birthday. It is so hard to believe she is 4. She is so much fun. She is our little fireball and is always saying or doing something that just makes us go "What the heck did she just say or do?" We love her so much and wish her a very happy birthday! I will do a separate post just for her birthday soon.

Raegan's point of view
I often get interesting pictures on the camera if we leave it lying around and Raegan gets her little fingers on it. Instead of just deleting them like I usually do, I though I'd share them with you instead. These are just a few of the gems I found. There are usually ALOT of duplicate pictures so I just posted a few...and these are just from stuff in the last month.

Fun with the Johnson's
Ryan's cousin, Russell and Tanya and kids, Megan, Justin, Kristin, and Lauren came up to visit us for about a week in February. We had so much fun with them while they were here. They stayed in a hotel so when they first got here, we met them in town and had dinner and then headed to their hotel so the kids could swim.
The next morning, the guys and boys went to a gun show for a couple of hours and then everyone met up at our house and just hung out and visited for the rest of the day.
Sunday, we blessed Alivia
Monday, we headed up to Stonefly Lodge to spend a couple of days playing in the snow and just relaxing. It was so fun to spend time up there together. The kids had a ball playing together...except the ones who were sick. Justin and Kristen ended up with influenza while we were there so they didn't have so much fun. We all took turns riding the snowmachines in a field across the street and we took little trail rides in the area too. Ryan and Russell then got Justin and Bo out behind the lodge and made a trail down the hill to sled on. We all hot tubbed a couple of times and played ping pong, air hockey and pool. We watched movies and played games and read books. It was great!
We came home on Thursday and some of us took off and went shooting guns while the rest of us hung out at home. Russell and Tanya left the nxt afternoon and we spent the rest of the weekend trying to recover from all our activities. We were all so exhausted!
baby smiles
We sure love it when she smiles! She's starting to make a lot more baby sounds too. it is so fun.
