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

Kiana: Has been searching online 24/7 for a prom dress. It’s not easy to find the right dress.

Myla: Passed her state foods test and gets to show off that accomplishment at school with this personalized apron!

KJ: This dude went temporarily missing on Wednesday after school this week. He had our nanny pretty worried when she couldn’t find him, his dad left work, I left school early, and we were ALL looking for him around our nieghborhood!

Kiana: Is spending the long weekend in Boston visiting her friends (and the snow) there. This girl is savvy and independant.

Myla: Has been practicing her softball skills while KJ practices for spring baseball. She’s now hoping to be on the softball and golf teams this spring for high school!

KJ: Since being grounded from “technology” he has reconnected with his Rubiks cube, air soft guns, bike, and more – I just might not allow technology for a long time because I lOVE how he spends his time when grounded.

Kiana: After school. Talking about her new boyfriend.

Myla: What you can’t see: this list she made of her current three college choices touches the floor. It’s now hanging next to her bed – Should I say focused? Driven. Ambitious. Dreamer. Goal-setter. Is she really my child?

KJ: He’s been grounded from “electronics” for about two solid weeks now – so when he needs to use a computer for homework these days, you would think he’d won the lottery.

Kiana: Had “Preference” on Saturday. This is a girls choice semi-formal in Utah. She had five couples in her group – all good friends, masquerade was the theme. They went to breakfast and ice skating on her day date. Then I took their pictures at our house, the group had dinner at Tepanyaki’s, went to the dance, and went to her friend Tatum’s house afterwards for S’mores and a movie.

Myla: Preparing an egg for her puppy. One at breakfast. One at dinner time.

Kiana: She is on her first official high school weekend trip with friends this weekend!!! She borrowed her dad’s truck to drive her friends and herself to southern Utah. Before she left I warned her about the overly zealous highway patrol that monitor I-15 between Northern and Southern Utah.

Myla: She’s currently playing indoor soccer, taking indoor golf lessons,
