Dave – Really getting in to smoking….meats that is on his RecTeq smoker and grill. Graduated Billings Clinic Leadership. Looking for new adventures. Young Mens leader.

Melanie – Taught preschool and piano “virtually” and back in person. Loves all this family time (most days and times!). Trying to keep up on our family photo albums. Every day I’m multitasking. Young Womens leader.

Emma (14) – Finished up middle school, phew!  Glad to be at high school now.  Loves drawing and painting and any art projects. Trumpet and piano player. Roblox gamer. Her cousins are her favorite.

Callahan (12) – Received the Priesthood. Finished up elementary school and on to middle school. Trying to work out to get abs. Trampoline master. Really gets into playing the saxophone & football and skateboarding.

Lucy (9) – Total bookworm and had to get her own library card. Stepping away with Irish Dance. Plays so well with all her siblings. Is always writing in her journal, making lists, creating stories.  Always enjoys friends time.

Coverton (6) – Always the comic relief. Has some great dance moves. Enjoys school, not homework. Backyard soccer champ. Going to the river to play and fishing were some things he loved.

Sydnie (3) – Loves 3-year-old preschool at her Kids Club. Makeup, dressing up, Disney+, baby dolls, art, tea parties, trying to get her way every time and reading make up the rest of her time.

As a family, stayed home a lot as we all have. Some days it has been a challenge but most days we have loved this change of pace. It has been a blessing and reminded us of what is most important. Finished up our yard and all landscaping, yay! Visited Craters of the Moon, Utah, and Thermopolis, WY and did some local camping. Got to have several visitors this year and loved seeing them all! Almost done with our Children and Youth goals this year and thankful for that program, which encourages us become more like the Savior.


Hope your season and upcoming year shines bright and leads you more to the Light of the World, like that first Christmas star!

Love, the Ryerses
