A portrait of my children (and puppy), once a week, every week, in 2015.

Kiana: This girl was chosen this past week to be on her high school dance company presidency for her senior year!!!

Myla: Softball season is over, so she spent a little time today cleaning out her bag and prepping her tennis bag. This week she starts more training and matches!

KJ: He comes up with some creative ways to endure his chores.

Sela: I surprised her with a new pair of sandals for summer, and walked in the room to see her setting them up with a paper towel behind them to take a photo!

Kiana: Sox hat for the win.

Myla: “Mom!!! What shoes should I wear? What would look good with this?” Every day. I love it.

KJ: Boys fashion is all about the socks these days.

Kiana: With all her might, she is hoping our family never camps or glamps again. She loves the outdoors but does not like sleeping in the outdoors. Her tent didn’t have a wood stove or heater and the cold nightly temps were not friendly.

Kiana: Had a rough week – but she’s still smiling! The teenage years are just not easy at times.

Myla: Computer parts have been arriving at our house almost every day – again. She’s gearing up to build her second computer. She’s looking to break down her old one and sell the parts individually, but first she needs to learn more about Selling Graphics Card, this way she’ll know what she’s doing.

Kiana: Went with her papa on her first official college road trip this past week to sunny Southern California. She has already toured UVU, and SUU here in Utah. In Southern Cali she toured UCI, Chapman University, and USD. She’s taken the ACT’s once and is waiting for her results – such an exciting time in her life! I can’t wait to see what she chooses to do. We tour the UofU this week!

Myla: A glimpse of Myla after she went to the Lotus temple color fest in Spanish Fork this past weekend.

All pictures of the kiddos taken at Red Cliffs in Leeds, Utah – on the Red Reef hike.

Kiana: She started running one mile/day with me this past week. We’ve made it six days in a row! Instead of going long distances we are trying to see how fast we can both get our one mile down to. We track our runs on the Nike+ running app – both of us are down one minute from our first day!

Myla: Played in her first VARSITY softball game this past week!!!
