Happy New Year

Well, it's that time of year again.  We celebrate the new year, reflect on the old year, and resolve to do things better.  And so . . . Isaac is in underwear, we had kale for dinner, and I'm updating the blog!!

It is a little daunting to choose pictures from the past year, so instead we're going with an update of the past WEEK at Casa Ausk... enjoy & happy 2014.

After Christmas, Grandma Jo & Grandpa Jim came to visit.  We have had great fun celebrating Christmas & New Years w/them!


Brandon & Grandpa Jim headed to sunny California to watch the Huskies win the Fight Hunger Bowl. Go Huskies!  It was a double football weekend, but unfortunately the Raiders didn't fare so well.


While the boys were off having fun, Grandma Jo and I were chasing the kids.

Perrie is enjoying a yummy pancake . . .


. . . on her awesome birthday present from Chelsea & Ben!  It says, "PERRIE is going to have a great day!"

Speaking of awesome presents, Isaac showing off his homemade mask (also from Chelsea & Ben).

Mickey Mouse is his FAVORITE right now - can't go to bed without him!

 Perrie enjoyed Oscar's superhero birthday party.  His mom & grandma made superhero capes with each kid's initial.  So cute.

 Tons of art projects for Christmas gifts this year.  Santa brought a collage art kit for Perrie - her first masterpiece!
