This puppy of our loves to chew wood- branches, pencils of every kind, paint brushes...and unfortunately cello bows.  We now have a baby gate on the music room.

We had a first for this family of ours in 2015-SKIING!

Kate signed up for the 5th grade passport that allowed her to ski all UT ski resorts up to 3x each for free.  Our sweet friend Delsa is a ski instructor at Park City Ski Resort.  She offered to teach Kate and Ellie on her day off.  See what I mean when I say sweet!?  Kate LOVES skiing and wants it to be winter 12 months out of the year now.

13 years old

Just last week your little sisters were discussing when they could move into the bedroom closest to your room.  You asked me how long it would be until you were grown up. (In your mind that was age 18.)  "Five years Mom...they can move in there in 5 years!" My heart almost stopped when I realized it is ONLY FIVE YEARS before you become an adult.  Five years goes by in the blink of an eye.
