Basketball Winter 2017

 Lyla and Cannon played basketball this year with the Dupont league. Lyla really liked her team and her coach this year. She is getting more aggressive and played really hard. Cannon did great this year, but I didn't take any pictures of his team. He had coach Tammie again from soccer and she had been so great with all those boys.

Cannon also played church ball with the ward and it was a short team full of deacons. They played the Steilacoom team that was pretty packed with priest and friends that played in high school. We sure tried hard though.

Blanket Tent

Cannon and Lyla made this blanket tent for Nona in the sunroom. Everyone came out sweaty because the warm floor made it way to hot in the tent. Still so much fun. Everyone wants to do things for Nona. It is hard to not spoil that little girl.

Door

Our tenant in Tacoma passed away and had called 911 before she collapsed. The fire department had to break down the door to get in to her. The door is super old (maybe even original to the house that is over 100 years old) so we had it fixed. I didn't take a better picture once we fixed the frame. I just wish it was as easy to fix the hole in her family. Praying that her daughter finds peace.

Date Nights

Phil loves a party and loves getting people together. We have some really great families in our ward and Stake. Lots are moving in the next few weeks. The Cupps (to Japan) the Francis (to Arizona) the Hatches (to Virginia) the Palmers (to Chicago). We had a date night dodgeball game, Indian food and then games back at the cabin. It is a really great thing that I love Phil so much and have him as a best friend so I can make it through all these friends moving.

Kids + Warm Floor Winter 2017

 This doesn't happen very often so we had to pull out the camera to capture Lyla and Miya cuddling each other.

We find that having a warm floor means we spend time laying on it during the winter months.
