Brayden's Birthday

Such a fun and busy day! Brayden headed off to school excited to finally be 12! After school I picked the kids up and headed off to Nikelmania. We surprised Brayden and stopped to pick up Dodger. They had a blast playing the arcades. Brayden hit the jackpot on one of the games and got the 800 ticket bonus! It was fun to see how happy he was while the machine put out all his tickets. After we were done we headed to Draper to meet up with family at his favorite place...Teriyaki Grill. We got there a little early so I had just enough time to get Brayden a haircut. Dinner was awesome as always and Brayden also opened all his gifts. He was SO surprised for his big gift...an authentic Donovan Mitchell jersey. Happy birthday bud! We sure love you!

Early Birthday

We got together a few days before Brayden's birthday to celebrate with the Ericsons. Brayden has been looking forward to turning 12 for months. It was fun to celebrate early!

Dance Party!

What do you get when you have 4 Ericson girls and 3 Jensen girls that all love to dance??? A night full of choreographing a dance show for us! Josh and Brayden were at the BYU game, so Marc and I had planned on taking them all out for dinner, but they didn't want to leave. So we ended up getting tacos for them all while they danced, danced, and danced all night. They put on a show for us then they all headed to bed!

Nicholas Christmas Party

Nicholas had their annual Christmas party and it is always fun to go and mingle with Josh's work buddies and their wives. I spent 2 days trying to find something for Josh to wear, and I loved what I ended up finding for him! I thought he looked hot and we were excited to head out. The evening was great and it's always nice to see Josh recognized for all his hard work. 

PSI Matters

Brayden worked really hard on his STEM fair project. He measured the amount of PSI in a basketball to determine what the optimal PSI is. We had fun conducting his experiments and putting his project together. Turns out he did a great job! He won and moved on to the regional STEM fair competition!

Gratitude Tree

We had a family night and Brooklyn taught us a lesson about gratitude. She wanted to do a gratitude tree so we spent some time cutting out leaves that we can all write on what we are grateful for. I didn't get a pic of the actual tree, but it turned out really cute!

Bingham Flight

Brayden continues to tear it up with his basketball team. He works hard and loves every minute of it.
