Ro: Day 329

He found 2 of Daddy's socks, matching even. They make his legs look really weird, but it was one of those things that just really made me giggle when he was pulling those giant socks on.

K-Day 330

Family Home Evening tonight with Mom & Walt, and Jennie & the boys. I love this pic of the boys and Lolo listening to Walt. It was a great evening and we had a wonderful time with all the cousins and Nana & Papa.

This is his latest face. He is just always making it.

She's celebrating her victory in the "yogurt scooter race" in her "yogurt scooter racin' helmet" (her words, not mine)

Bryt: Day 328 January 21

Awww, cousins :)

Bryt: Day 327 January 20

She just came marchin' out of the bathroom, ready to get crackin' on her crazy hair. Apparently she's seen what miracles the blow dryer can perform on mine, cause heaven knows I've never touched her baby fine hair with that thing.

Morgan asked me to write this sign on the hotel we made out of a cardboard box. You can't tell me you wouldn't at least be curious to see what this was all about if you stumbled upon the People Hotel in real life. I mean, come on, it's for people, and dinosaurs too!

How could a pretend party be complete without a pretend pinata?

K-Day 329

Here is what I have been doing the last few weeks. The AZ Gourd Festival is coming up in a week and a half and I have been winding bobbins of wax linen and seagrass for it. Here it is all done, 436 bobbins of linen and 60 bags of seagrass! Phew.

K-Day 328

Not sure how Sam managed this one, but he somehow got a pic of his face. Lately I find him with my camera quite a bit, and it seems everytime I upload pics there are a few I don't know where or what they are. Maybe I need to keep it up higher.

K-Day 327

Sammy got a hold of the camera during D's baskeball game. Here is part of Paige who was a promising freshman until she pulled a "Danielle" and tore her miniscus while jumping on the trampoline.

K-Day 326

Danielle had to sit for awhile during her basketball game this week. She is just as loud and ornery off the court as she is on it. Can't tell which is the coach half the time. lol

Ro: Day 328

Today we became first-time car buyers. We have always just received generous car hand-me-downs and have never been the purchasers of the car. It was very nerve racking for me to empty our savings account in such a way, but we got a screaming deal and a newer, family-sized car, which is a necessity. Although I am sort of at a loss, because I have never had a car with so little character. Oh well, I hope to have it around long enough that it will eventually develop a little bit.

It's pinewood derby time! The consolation prize for the Cub Scout who comes in last is a flat tire cake. I was in charge of making it this year. I was intimidated by doing fondant all by myself without having the class to help me, but it turned out ok for the purpose of the cake.

Ro: Day 326

It made him feel cool watching TV and he couldn't get out by himself. It gave me almost an hour of uninterruptedness.

I am now officially through as Activity Day Leader. Walt found this quote at the bookstore on a plaque, he bought for Danielle (don't tell her) so I used it and made my own picture for the activity girls. I gave it to them tonight as my farewell gift. They were a great group of girls, never picked at each other. What a miracle.

K-Day 325

This is not a recent pic, but tonight I went back to dance class! Last week Danny and I checked out a newer studio here in Prescott, this week I decided to jump in and attended thier intermediate hip hop class. It felt sooooooo good and I kept up with those girls. I can't wait til next week and am thinking of taking a tap class too. This pic is from the last time I took a class and this is the group I performed with. (If you can't tell I'm the one in green. lol)

Ro: Day 325

Kirby had to go get his shots today, so we had the leash out. Connor insisted on trying it out so we clipped it on the back of his shirt. It didn't take him long to decide he didn't like being tied down.

Ro: Day 324

After we went for our walk Connor spent some time pushing the "baby" around for a walk. After he was done he put the baby back in my tummy.

Ro: Day 323

Aaron's aunt and uncle send coupons for 31 Flavors for birthdays. So for Family Night activity I went and used mine. That there is a sugar cone with Wild n Crazy Sherbet and Snickers ice cream. I know, weird combo but I could not make a choice between the 2. Although next time someone please remind me to get kid scoops.

Ro: Day 322

"HEeeeeey!"

Days ?? to Now

I know I have been hit or miss lately. So I decided to throw up a few pics and then move on from here. Top pic is opening jammies on Christmas Eve. Next pic is what the kids saw when they first ran down the hallway.

Danny has gotten back into playing hockey, so it has become a family thing to go down to the rink and shoot the puck a round. Kody chooses to skateboard and play, he keeps up pretty well.

Sammy has a new past time. He is loving puzzles, here he is with a 100 piece puzzle. He will sit for hours and put them together, just leaves 1 put together and moves to the next one. Our table is constantly covered these days.

Sammy plays dead now. When he is fighting with someone and you hit him he falls down and plays dead.

Say good bye to the Christmas tree, as always Dan burned the tree on the first. I chose this pic, cause you can also see Danielle's sweet outfit.

Double trouble. Danielle and Breanne are the bullys, and play the same position, on the basketball team. This particular game against Mayer, they both fouled out by the middle of the third quarter, and then sat and misbehaved on the bench.

We went to the Sundogs game and the Hansen Bros, from the movie Slapshot, were there. Danny was so excited. I love how even Sammy has his fist up.

My boys doing the belly dance.

Dan and Sam face off.

Kody recieves badges at the Court of Honor.

Anyone see Sammy lately?

We cleaned the laundry room. If you were unlucky enough to have seen it before you will truely appreciate this pic.

I don't know if these are enough to catch me up, but I will be moving forward from here.

Kristi escaped from the wicked net monster's castle of confusion, but where is Sammy?

Bryt Day 324 January 17

Today it became apparent that I have 2 of the very best things ever: 

1) The best life-long friend

2) Scripture case, dur.

His whines are easily translated into "Hold me! Hold me! Hold Me Already!"

Bryt: Day 322 January 15

Morgan said "Mom, I drew my name and me and you and Ian!"

Bryt: Day 321 January 14

Oh my, there seems to be some balls in my boot.... hehehe

Bryt: Day 320 January 13

I don't really know why but I never get tired of the look of them digging through a toy chest/box/anything that they have to bend over to get into :)

Kristi and Sammy behind bars of netting.

Bobbie's bridal shower was today. As you can see we played the common "make a wedding dress out of TP" game. We had a major advantage on our team: the lady who is making the ACTUAL wedding dress! Unfortunately there was another team that used a secret weapon, a very little girl as their dress model.

Check out the beautiful colors of the leaves on our apple tree. It looks like fall finally.

Diane Day 321 Jan 14

Proof, Kristi is still around. Celebrating the twins bday.

Sammy's version of bowling at Peter Piper Pizza.

This is the view of the park when we arrived last weekend in Dewey, Jan 7. It was flipping cold.

Ro: Day 320

We haven't gone to the park in a while and today was the day. There were maintenance guys there though, and the leaf blower was really freaking Connor out.

Ro: Day 319

I think he needs a little apron.

Bryt: Day 319 January 12

This may look like an ordinary picture of a ceiling fan but look beyond that, and it's a ceiling. A glorious ceiling with nothing above it but a spare bedroom that is not full of an Uncle Sam and his noises. Hopefully a ceiling full of hope and wonderful sleep filled nights. Here's to hoping my 9 hours of taking apart beds and switching rooms with the kids is worth it.
