Family Pictures & Update

I was really pleased with our family pictures this year. We used Beau's preschool teacher because of how challenging it is to get a good shot of him these days. Still trying to pick a favorite family shot, but here they are-

I just love these individual shots of the kids. 

We even got some good other shots!

2017 Update (from our Christmas cards which had limited space)-

Luke celebrated 11 years on his own with Mezger Homes & continues to enjoy leading his growing company. He couldn't do it without his amazing team! 

I (Melissa) am enjoying my 10th year as a stay-at-home mom & 5th year as the kid's Tues/Thurs homeschool teacher. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this mom-to-4-kids gig, although my floors & laundry might say otherwise.

Bailey is our big 4th grader who loves time with friends, being outdoors, dragons, & her bearded-dragon Toothless. She still enjoys swimming, specifically breast-stroke, & is trying her hand at basketball. Her highlight of the year was getting baptized. 

Blake is in 2nd grade. He is our shy, sensitive, hard-working boy. He enjoys swimming, basketball & hunting. He shot his first deer this year & we're enjoying the venison! His newest hobby is coin collecting, his favorite subject is math, & he loves playing Ticket to Ride. 

Blair is our eager-to-learn Kindergartner who is sweet, yet mischievous. She enjoys making Legos/Perler bead creations & is our go-to girl when you need a good hug. She loves watching the Star Wars movies & was Princess Leia for Halloween. 

Beau is our energetic busy boy who has a "my do it myself" independence. He keeps busy with bike-riding & tree-climbing. He is a big Dude Perfect fan and loves doing his own trick shots. We love how he says "yesteryear" to describe anything in the past.
