Clayton Catch Up

We are all enduring record snow fall for WA. The standing record was set in 1956 and we are less than an inch away from breaking that record. School has been canceled for most of January. I think the kids have gone all of 4 days this month. They don't seem to mind one bit. Kaden and Taycee are actually out pushing snow off the tramp as we speak so it doesn't collapse under the weight of all the snow.
Chris is still working his cute little tooshy off. Between big projects at work, constantly trying to get his Trifecta business up and going and being an awesome husband/daddy he puts in LONG days. Good guy.
The girls all started gymnastics this month and Kaden started classes with an after school theatre club. They are all quite excited for their new ventures.
Addison brought home her first Kindergarten reading book this week. I was a little apprehensive about that, but she sat down with me and read the entire thing through the very first time all by herself. I might have cried a little. She is growing leaps and bounds this year and I am always amazed and so grateful. I believe that is the product of many Priesthood blessings coming to fruition.
Brielle is my little buddy and cracks me up with all of her "adult sayings" she talks way older than she actually is and we laugh a lot. It's easy to forget she is only 3. Yesterday Chris told her to tie her shoes and she said "Uh dad, I can't I'm only 3 remember?"
I'm a lipstick selling diaper changing fool. Haha really though, I am busy, too busy, and always have a to do list that is so long it's not attainable... but I seem to function best that way so I can't complain.
Bechkam is still everyone's favorite play thing. If we could just figure out how to make that tummy of his happy. Chris and I have been doing the Whole 30 diet this month (no grains, no diary, no sugar, no legumes)  and I was hoping it would help in case something I was eating was making his tummy upset. Unfortunately he has actually gotten worse since I started.....so apparently whole food eating isn't always the answer. ;)  His happy moments make up for all the tears, and I lose way too much of my day watching his sweet face while he sleeps.

We don't have any Utah plans this year, but we are planning to take the kids on a surprise trip to Disney Land in October. (29th- Nov 4th) if anyone wants to join us this is your official invite.

That's all from us.

Here's a few pics from my phone.

I always get the biggest smiles right after he eats. 

Our Sunday Selfie

So much snow. (This was actually before it snowed another foot or more)

Taycee love anything that has to do with makeup or getting "fancy"

Brielle loves writing her name and my name
