Bits and pieces

Yuki gifted me this water bottle. Things has been a little crazy with her and so she was trying to be nice which was awesome. 

Me staying warm in my mtb ride. 

Met Yukis rugby coach for the first time. He made us this food. We served in the same mission. He seems nice. He has a good truck. 

We all went to the movies as a family. 

Tashi came to visit and it was awesome to be with him. 

Drus uncle Eric died. Dru went. It was sad. I’m glad he could go. 

I walked tablerock in the snow and love it. 

All of Masaru’s graduation cards to send out. 

The family together. It’s a pity we only get together for weddings and funerals. 
 

Masarus spring break rugby trip

 

Masaru went to Utah with the Eagle rugby team to play games and check out Universities as well as the Utah men’s rugby team. He had fun. Here’s some pics. 

We were going to go to CA and do a trip with him but he chose to do this instead and so we stayed home and did our own thing while he went and did this. 

All his injuries. 

This and that

 

I interviewed Phil and thought it went great. 

We edited this picture to submit in for Masarus mission papers. 

Cool picture of aria and yuki at rugby. 

A scripture about peace in the house. 

I was interviewed by Lacey on her podcast. It was fun. 

We tried this picture and thought of editing it. Masaru refused to shave off his mustache for the picture and the mission. I should’ve seen that as a sign that he didn’t really wanna go and his heart wasn’t in it. 

Emiko went to Tess’ Birthday party and had tons of fun. 

Cute girls. 

Look at these cute pictures of Takeshi I found. Such a cutie I can’t even handle it. 

I did this art project with Emiko. It was doing st Patrick for leaf clover and saying what your grateful for. It turned out great and I loved it. 

I was going for a walk and saw where we dumped all our leaves in the fall hahaha soo figured I’d take a video of it. 

Jess with masaru at rugby 🏉♥️

Emiko’s choir, Drus stitches and Takeshis temple trip

 

Dru decided to slice through his finger with a knife while cutting drywall. It was pretty bad. 

Takeshi went and did baptisms with his teachers quorum 

Here’s the finished product of Drus stitched up finger. 

Emiko went to a huge choir concert with a bunch of elementary schools and the jr highs and high school. Super fun night for her. 

Here she is performing. 

She is the cutest of the cutest. 

Dinner, food, art and rugby

 

We had a beautiful dinner with Jason, Ellen and their families. It was so nice to be able to sit down and enjoy each others company. 

I went into Emikos class and did this art project with them. They turned out pretty cute. 

Dru made some sushi for Masarus bday. As always it was the best. 

Emiko got caught in a killer snow storm for her rugby practice. I had to get a video of it for history. 

I made food for the kids. Look at this spread!!! Am I right????

Takeshi and I celebrating. 

Something happened here with this mouse in the boys room. What a blood bath. 

Snowboarding

 

Takeshi and Yuki went snowboarding with Ben. He’s the skier in the front of the video below. I’m glad they got out and had a good time. 

Masaru turns 18

 

Masaru turned 18 and we went to our normal place to celebrate with him. Last year of school. 

I made this video for him. 

Dru and I did a scavenger hunt around the city with his mates. I thought it was awesome. The kids did well apart from one group. 

I’m glad he’s 18 and hope he can move forward in his life with good thing. 18 years goes by fast. 

Emiko turns 11

 

I don’t have tons of pictures but she did have a party. So I guess I was too present to take any? 

We took her out for lunch and celebrated her. 

I love Emiko and hope she feels that. I’m glad she’s in our family and am grateful for all her many talents. I love her. 

Puggs cabin

 

So we went to the cabin with the Davis family and had a great time like always. The snow was present and the mobiles were running and the kids were happy. 

We went snow shoeing and had a blast and the day was beautiful. I love these pictures that we got of ourselves. 

Way fun. 

Here’s the kids having fun on the snowmobiles. 

Takeshi. 

Yuki texting 💬 probably her bf. 

Videos from out time at the cabin. 

We had a good time with good food and are grateful we get invited. It’s a long trek to go and that’s the one thing that sucks about it to most. We love the Davis family.
