The 100th Day

Posted by Scott in family, school

Knick Knack Attack

Posted by Scott in family, friends

Just wanted to throw out a few recent offerings:

Congratulations to our friends Monique and Joe for their […]

The Evanskeys got all packed up and headed to Big Bear for three days after Christmas so Jaden could partake in his first lesson at snow boarding. Inevitably, plans changed and we had to cancel the lesson and get a voucher due to us not being able to sleep on the incredibly uncomfortable beds at […]
