I’ll Go Inside Someday

Dallin got to go through the temple for the first time on January 14, 2022. What a special day. He was supported that day in the temple by his mom, dad, Oakley, Logan, Grandpa Jacobson, Grandma Hawkins, Aunt Jenny, and Uncle Shane. We all went over to Culver’s afterwards for some dinner and ice cream. Grandpa and Grandma Romrell happened to be in town for a doctors appointment and got to meet us there. It was such an incredible day to be together as a family and have two of our kids in the temple with us. 

 

Preg Check 2022

It was a cold day in January for preg checking heifers. Ryan decided to do it this year instead of the vet. We lucked out and had very few open. 

 

Christmas at Grandma’s House

Just a few pictures of all of the cousins and Christmas at grandmas house.

 

Christmas 2021

On Christmas morning we waited until almost 11 for Oakley and Logan to come over and open presents with us. This year each of the kids wanted something big/expensive so they didn’t get the same number of gifts as they usually do. Oakley and Logan got apple watches, dallin got a nightstand and light bar, Rhett got a camera and Laiklie got a laptop. It was a great Christmas. After opening presents we went down to grandma‘s for lunch and a few more gifts and then back for a turkey dinner at our house. It was a great day to celebrate the birth of the Savior!

This last picture is by far my favorite picture of the day. Laiklie had Oakley in a headlock, so Dallin sucked both of them in where neither of them could move. They were both laughing so hard they really couldn’t do anything about it. So funny! I love that my kids love each other.

 

Christmas Eve ‘21

Even with big kids, there is still something so special about Christmas Eve and everything being ready for Christmas. 

This year we went out and had dinner with grandpa Jacobson and watched the Christ child video that the church put out. It was so good to be with him that night. Christmas is hard without grandma. I was glad we were able to still spend Christmas Eve in her home like we have the past few years. 

 

Gingerbread Houses

I bought some gingerbread house kits for the kids to do one afternoon. Dallin‘s came completely broken before he even opened the box, so he was ticked. Half of their icing was so runny that nothing would stick. We have decided that gingerbread house kits are garbage. Next year maybe we will be brave enough to try making our own gingerbread. They still had a good time making a mess though!

 

Christmas Tradition

I went downstairs on Christmas Eve morning to wake up Rhett and couldn’t find him… Or his bed…

Why am I not surprised to find his bed moved into Dallin‘s room?!?! The boys have been moving his bed into Dallin’s room every year for the past five years in preparation for Christmas. I love that they are 17 and 19 years old and still want to be together on Christmas Eve night!
