New Years In Utah


The girls and the boys hit the jackpot!

Skiing, snowboarding, movie watching, party going, iflying, surfing,
rock climbing, gaming, swimming, sleeping over, cousin playing,
Hires eating, grandparent spoiling, ice skating...

never wanting to go home!

RJ's Blessing


We were fortunate to be able to bless our sweet baby RJ while we were in Utah over the winter break. Though a snowstorm postponed our original plans, we were able to have a beautiful blessing on New Year's morning. Truly committed and loving family members dragged themselves from bed after celebrating the new year the night before, driving up to an hour and a half to be there at our side. RJ has come into a wonderful family!

RJ was named after his father, Ryan, and his grandfather, James. He has a lot to live up to with a name like that. Or perhaps it is better to say that he has a lot to look up to with a name like that!
