So much to catch up on!

As I was looking for pics of my Papa the other night, I saw just how far behind I am on posting fun pictures of our family. It's quite overwhelming when you just can't get to blogging! Here's yet again another catch up time even though I'll only get to a few!


December brough Ashlyn's 7th birthday. So hard to believe I was watching rodeo while in labor just 7 years ago (I was very relaxed with an epideral!). She enjoyed having over 5 of her friends from school and church. It was pretty chaotic at times in our small house but she loved it.





As always, we spent some time with Josh's family at Christmas time. We don't have many pictures of Josh's grandmother (mainly because she really doesn't like her picture taken!) but I snatched one of her and the kids. She always tells them before we leave "I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck." They love Grammy.



California was fun in December. Besides getting to spend time with my grandparents and family, it was great to be on a mini-vacation by myself! Time alone doesn't happen much these days and it's always a welcome experience. I felt revived and ready to "hit it" again when I returned home. We finally got a picture of the three "Rheas": Uncle Bill Rhea, Phillip Rhea, and his son Nathan Rhea. Pretty cool family name, in my book.
While in CA, we took a trip to Disneyland - In all the times I've been to Disneyland, I'd never been there right around Christmas time! It was so fun and great to spend time with my niece and nephews! How fast they're growing up!

I just love this picture! Ian loving lunch at "Taco Bells"
