Jake has one sister that lives in Utah (April) and one in Idaho (Brianna).
Recently his parents retired and moved to Idaho near Brianna.
And then his oldest sister (Amber) moved there as well. We're super happy and excited to have family SO much closer than we've had the last decade.
Jake learned how to frame houses working with his dad in middle/high school. His dad is building a house for this new chapter in their lives.
Jake spent a week in December helping his dad and then took a 3-day weekend in February to help again. The second time he went, he took the kids so they could spend time with their cousins/aunts/uncles.
Breckie loved crafting with her 18-year-old cousin Arianna, Everett loved gaming with Uncle Michael, and Roxy was attached to (basically twin cousin) Haley all weekend.
Brianna even took them to a farm to see the pigs when she heard that Breckie has a small obsession with piggies! The pigs weren't out because of the cold but they still had fun and ate some ice cream at the farm. It might be too cold for the piggies but it's never too cold for ice cream!!
I stayed home and worked on a couple of house projects and took care of our pets. Not only do we have a cat... we have a dog now too. I snapped this picture one evening as we walked over the bridge to our house.
I should probably add a picture of our house and maybe even post about our dog.
One post at a time I'll get caught up on this new life of ours!
