Year in Review -- 2013 -- Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!!  For those who didn't get the card... or wanted to see more pictures, here is our annual Christmas Letter...

January Robbie returned home from his mission in Paris France.  There was much rejoicing!!

 February:  Not enough days to remember what happened.
March:  We took a trip to the south!  First to Nashville, TN, where we visited the Grand Ole Opry and saw Elvis!

 The we drove to Jamestown, TN to visits Troy's Dad and Lois!
 We visited Chickamauga Civil War Park in Chatanooga, where the kids practiced their marching...
Next stop was McIntyre, GA, to visit Honey Boo Boo.  She wasn't home.

 Then on to Florida, where we watched Les Mis and had a beach day in Saratoga
 Visited Univeral and the Magic Kingdom...

 We had a wonderful time with all the kids (and figured this might be our last family vacation with everyone still single -- See June)
 Easter Sunday is the picture above...
 Dallin drove home for Mother's day.  He had spent the past 6 months living in Utah.
 Dallin comes again in June for the wedding.  Robbie proposed to Kate Harward April 28th.  He didn't know that Cami had proposed to Kate the summer before.  Of course, Kate said yes!!
 Married June 22, 2013 in the Spokane Washington temple!









Softball season begins in June. Cami plays her 2nd year.  Coach pitch this year and she finally gets a hit!!

 Cami and MacKenzie Sternod.
 Cadie and Charli play for B-Line.
 July:  Troy takes the kids horse back-packing up Sherman Pass to Snow Peak cabin.  They enjoy a beautiful trip and the horses get some exercise.


The next week, Troy, Jordon, Charli, Cadie and I participate in a church sponsored Trek, pushing and pulling handcarts about 18 miles over 3 days in the mountains near Elk, WA and sleeping under the stars.
 September is Fair month.  The cows parade around the show ring and win ribbone.  Cami, Cadie and Troy earn money and shovel poo.  Cami wins Grand Champion Suffolk Ewe!  Way to go Cami.



 Charli, Freshman year
 Cadie, Freshman year
 Jordon, Junior year. In October, we drove to Utah to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday!  It was a Hillbilly Themed birthday party, that became redneck in the process!

 Lots of Colliers!!
 2013 Cross Country season.  3 kids running for East Valley High School.  Above is Cadie, Then Jordon, then Charli.
