Our visitor from Illinois

We received a visitor in the mail from Illinois during November.  Evie's class did a Flat Stanley project, so her Flat Stanley came to stay with us for a few weeks!

We took him to gymnastics class  

 To the Kibbie Dome to watch CHS play (and win) in the State Championship Game

 Hung out with Victor Viking

 Checked out a Mudgy statue downtown

 Put a toe in the water....brrr!

 And checked out the artwork downtown

Visit with friends!

Back in March, the kids and I headed to Spokane to visit my friends Storie and Stiana and their mom.  Stiana has 3 kids and Storie has 1 and the Strobel kids love spending time with these guys!  We try to get together a few times a year!  From left to right: Paul, Rudy, Rylee, Kaylee, Megan and Isaac!

A Visit with Storie and her family

At the end of June, the kids and I went to visit my friend Storie at her Mom's house in Spokane.  Storie's sister Stiana was there with her 3 kids as well.  Rylee, Paul, Rudy, Kaylee and Isaac had a fun time together.  Rylee was teaching them tricks with string.

 Me with Storie's baby Megan. Adorable!

 Me and Storie!

Visit with Jessanne and Sara

A couple weekends ago, I was in Moscow for a meeting and decided to go home through Colfax so I could see Jessanne and Sara. Here she is on the blanket my mom made for her. She is growing up quickly!

Visitors

My friend Ryan and his daughter Bailey came over for a visit last night. Here they are saying goodbye!

Bailey decided to give Paul a big ol' smooch...as you can tell, he was LOVING it!!!

Bailey

Ryan & Bailey came over for Monday Night Football. Paul and Bailey had such fun playing with the Christmas animals!

Another Visitor

Our neighbor, Ainsley, from down the street came over to play. Do you see a pattern in Rylee's clothes? Always in a dress and she seems to gravitate towards yellow...

Visiting Friend

Our neighbor Jillian came over to play while her mom mowed the lawn!
