Colton Soccer and Basketball

Colton continues to love soccer and added basketball in this winter.  He has only had two basketball games so far, and I haven't taken any pictures, so I'll just include this picture of him with Grandma and Grandpa K after a recent soccer game.



State Meet

Larkyn got to compete in the state gymnastics meet this year.  She had her all-time best all-around score and it was her favorite meet of the year.









Tiger

Tiger loves to play, whether it is fetch with his favorite mice, or "goalie" with Colton.  Here is a little video.

Needless to say, we've been keeping busy at our house- life is full and good and I am grateful. We are all excited to celebrate our Saviors' birthday next week and have sweet time with family!
