Daddy's Little Girl




Tessa loves her Daddy and he spoils her rotten. But I don't mind. With our other children Chad was gone all week driving logging truck and only home on the weekends. So he missed out on alot when the kids were small. He's taking full advantage of being able to work at home on the farm. I love to see him play with her and how excited she gets when he comes through the door. He's a very good dad and spends time with all the kids.





Don't you remember the great times you had as a kid playing with cardboard boxes? We had this box left over that my internet sattelite came in. Dallin and Zane decided to take advantage of it. Of course they have to include Tessa too. Dallin is always playing and wrestling with her. He's a good big brother, but sometimes gets too rough. I guess she'll grow up tough.

Basement


Progress on the basement is coming along slowly. We are almost done framing though. If I could help more than when Tess is napping then that would be good. I guess it'll get done when it gets done. Happy building. Sorry for the crooked picture, i'm new to this.

Hoop Shoot

Well we went to Blackfoot on Feb. 7th for the State Hoop Shoot. There were 30 kids at State out of 38,000 kids that participated at the other levels. So just to get to State is a big achievement. There were 5 girls in Analeise's group. She got 5th place making 6 out of 25. She shot better at Caldwell making 11 out of 25. The winner only missed 2 shots. Very tough competition. We are so proud of Analeise and this was a great experience for her. Way to go.
