Boys


January 23rd delivered us a good snow storm. This winter has been pretty mild compared to last winter.  We couldn't keep up last year and this year we're all excited to shovel snow, especially these good boys. They wish we could get enough to go sledding. I kind of do too. All the kids got new awesome snow pants for Christmas and they have no excuse to wear them!

Emmitt loves Scouts

Emmitt has been working so hard on his scouting. His amazing leaders in Heber are Jared Bowman and his dad Matt. In Midway, Melanie Bloxam and Norma and her husband Brian Thayne have been so helpful and great leaders too.


"This is me and my mom. I am at pack meeting. I got my wolf badge. I got to paint mom's face and she got to paint my face. It was fun." - Emmitt

New rooms and peace on earth

Heath, Kelsey, and I spent the majority of our Christmas Break moving the boys from the two bedrooms on the main level upstairs to the one big bedroom, and Kendal and McKenzie from sharing a room upstairs into the two bedrooms on the middle floor.
We painted. We bought curtains and rugs and clocks and made wall hangings and decorations. We MOVED so much stuff!!
Kendal and McKenzie were starting to really get on each other's nerves. It is hard for a 12 and 11 year old to share a room and still like each other. They need their own space and their privacy if life is going to go well here at our house.
The Crane kids came back to our house on December 27th so we hustled to get it all completed in time. The girls were so surprised and LOVED it!


"My new room was awesome! I loved it so much. I was so surprised. It was so glamorous. Now I don't need to share a room with anyone. Now I have my own room. The first time that I slept in my bed I felt so comfy. I hope that I can keep this room for a long time, and I will try to keep my room clean for as long as I can." - McKenzie   




"My new room so really nice sleeping, parting getting out of my siblings. It is nice for doing homework, it is peaceful,quiet,cute and e.t.c. It is the perfect space for me, i wouldn't want another room in the house. I love my closet it fits my clothes and even some other things like blankets and games. I love everything in my room how it is." - Kendal


Peace on Earth, totally worth it.
