Oct-Dec. 2021 Highlights

I got to do a fun cookie decorating class with Kasee and Lindsey.


Violet loves Fordy

And so does Maxy!

Gardner Village witches with the cousins!


Cutest Davis


Watching an indoor BYU soccer scrimmage with friends

Heehaw Farms!






Carson turned 1 and had a Halloween Bday Party!

Violet and Davis were very invested in Carson's cake

Celebrating Max's and Kathy's birthdays too!

Max's class did a Day of the Dead festival and he honored his Great Grandma Bonnie Winterton. He brought one of her bourrees she always wore and brought a bag of flax seeds too (she loved using flax seeds).

I took my students Fiona and Liam to Salute to Youth. My kids came along too!

A fall hike

Andy and his partner Sarah were winners in the Ensemble Festival!

Davis the Destroyer

Max won in music and art for reflections!

Andy won too!

Davis was here

We always love the zoo.




Celebrating Abby's birthday. Her favorite is Nothing Bundt Cake.

We went with Rachel, Jake, and Carson to St. George for a weekend in November.

Davis LOVES to hike.




Cameron smoked a turkey for Thanksgiving!

The cutest Thanksgiving crew.

We went to University Mall to watch Santa land in a helicopter on Black Friday.

Max won an award for his art at the District Reflections Competition!

Andy did too!

We went with Kathy to watch Andy sing with the Ridgeline Singers.

These two are the sweetest friends.

Davis absolutely loves the farm and riding horses.

We went to see the lights at temple square. Definitely a much smaller version since the Temple is under construction. But still very fun!



Our annual gingerbread decorating night!

One of my all-time favorite pictures of Davis.

Cameron and I went to see the King's Singer's at the HFAC and had to sneak down into the practice room where we met before they tear the building down.

Playing the piano he was playing when we met!

I took the oldest three to see the Nutcracker at the Covey Center in Provo. It was so fun!

Just the cutest girl, skipping along and loving life. :)

Andy and Violet enjoying the snow.

A fun snow day with Violet's good friend Lauryn.

My favorite prank always and forever--neighbor gifts I gave on behalf of Rachel and Jake to their neighbors.

Andy accompanied his grade at the Ridgeline Christmas Sing.

And Max did too! Max played the RH and I played the LH.

Max's cute class on pajama day.

Max with a group project.

After a break because of Covid we got to go back to Santa at the Symphony!

Davis loved it and loved ringing his bell.


Annual sugar cookie night prep!


Sugar Cookie night with the Cragun and Thomas crew.



Christmas Sunday

The darling nativity Andy made with popsicle sticks. He's so creative!

Winterton Cousin Christmas Party! The first year we've done it and it was a BLAST. We did a white elephant gift exchange and had so much fun.

We went to see the Christmas Windows at the Grand America. The kids always love it!

We went ice skating for the first time at the Herriman Ice Ribbon with the Avarells and some other neighbors too. It was so much fun!

I pushed Davis around in the stroller and loved it.

Ashley Avarell helping Violet around.


Gingerbread Man Competition! I don't remember whose they are except I remember mine is Jasmine and that I won. :)

Max loves to bake with me, and I love having him in the kitchen.

Dinosaur Museum

We love all the Christmas cards we get in December.

We went to St. George for a while after Christmas and had a blast. The kids loved bowling at Fiesta Fun!



We have many pictures through the years with this. :)
