Livin' it up!: August 2014
http://mikekatiefamily.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Mike, Katie, Brooke, Megan, Evan, Natalie, and Michael. Saturday, August 30, 2014. Evan was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has been so excited for this day, and we were thrilled to have both sets of grandparents fly in to be here with him. We also loved getting some wonderful vacation time with those grandparents too! The kids loved mud baths and making an awesome raft with Grandpa's help to float down the river. Links to this post. Friday, August 29, 2014. We le...

http://mikekatiefamily.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Mike, Katie, Brooke, Megan, Evan, Natalie, and Michael. Sunday, November 30, 2014. We took a road trip to Chicago for Thanksgiving, and it was one of our most fun family trips! Mike and I lived in Chicago ten years ago when he was in business at Kellogg (Northwestern), where my brother Ben is now a professor. For us, it was a great trip back to our old stomping grounds and we had a great time enjoying some of our favorite foods, locations, memories and friends. Maybe even a bit better. We spent Wednesday...

Mike, Katie, Brooke, Megan, Evan, Natalie, and Michael. Monday, March 30, 2015. Brooke takes Carnegie Hall by Storm, and Megan and Mom Crash NYC. After we settled into our hotel, we decided we needed a little midnight snack and Serendipity 3! The lines weren't toooo long and we loved our frozen hot chocolate. (You are quickly going to see a theme to Megan's goals for this trip . probably good it was so short! Then we returned to our candy shopping . Fun to see Megan's bestie Michelle at Carnegie Hall....

Livin' it up!: December 2014
http://mikekatiefamily.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Mike, Katie, Brooke, Megan, Evan, Natalie, and Michael. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. When the temperature got just right, we hit the slopes with our new gear. We took the familiy to Whitetail ski resort in Pennsylvania. It was a perfect resort for our ski level. Only four main runs were open the day we were there, and a large bunny hill (or Tiger Hill as we called it when Megan practiced on it). And then it was New Year's Eve! Brooke was so excited to be off to the stake dance with her friends. She ...

http://mikekatiefamily.blogspot.com/2015/03/turks-and-caicos-day-4.html
Mike, Katie, Brooke, Megan, Evan, Natalie, and Michael. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Turks and Caicos - Day 4. We started the day with our second set of dives with Mickey and Jane. Today we went to the Northwest Point of Provo and dived at Coral Staircase and then the Amphitheater. The first dive the corals were so beautiful and so plentiful. The entire dive we were over the coral. Jane led us through a swim through that passed through the coral and dropped us down about 95 feet before we surfaced again.

http://mikekatiefamily.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Mike, Katie, Brooke, Megan, Evan, Natalie, and Michael. Friday, May 30, 2014. Arlington Cemetery on a beautiful Friday afternoon. The first photo here is the eternal flame that marks John F. Kennedy's grave, and Arlington House is in the background. Arlington House was owned by Robert E. Lee and his wife and was confiscated at the beginning of the Civil War and never returned to the Lees. And John was a willing photographer who took many wonderful pictures of us in the beautiful, peaceful cemetery. Anima...

Livin' it up!: July 2014
http://mikekatiefamily.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Mike, Katie, Brooke, Megan, Evan, Natalie, and Michael. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Our friends the Moores were in town for a few days, and we loved visiting the National Geographic museum with them. I had never been to this interesting and inspiring museum, but I'm so glad we went. Michael found this mural just outside and loved the tractors in it. This wall shows all the covers of National Geographic magazine over the years. Michael had his first dentist appointment and handled it like a champ! July was a...

Livin' it up!: April 2014
http://mikekatiefamily.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Mike, Katie, Brooke, Megan, Evan, Natalie, and Michael. Saturday, April 12, 2014. I made the mistake of taking Natalie and Michael to Chuck E. Cheese once when it was raining during Brooke's violin lesson. They have begged and begged to go back, and finally convinced the family to go for family fun night. Michael spent lots of tokens on this monster truck! Look at the joy in these two faces as they play at the park while we wait for Brooke at violin lessons. So fun! Links to this post.
