Winter break fun

We went to Chuck E Cheese while the boys were in piano lessons. Logan and Aaron playing a violent game, at least they are shooting bugs.

Katrina loved riding the rides.
Audrey and Lila have fun together.
Earlier in the day we played in the snow with Jenn and the kids.
Jenn helped the kids build a snowman.
Katrina wanted to "slide".

Family Pictures?!?

We tried taking our own family picture. Katrina was having none of it. I'm not sure we got everyone to smile at the same time. This is one of the better ones.
Oops! forgot to remove the thumb. Kenzie Logan smile!

Logan's Birthday Party

We had Logan's friend party early this year. We made gingerbread houses and decorated them. Jensen and his house:

Faith and her house.
Audrey and her house.
Skyler and Kyler
Aaron

Finally Logan and his house.
Present time is something every birthday child looks forward to.

Bells Palsy

Kenzie woke up with half his face not working the day after thanksgiving. He is trying to smile in this picture. (try covering the left side of the picture.We made some flower clips. Kiersten wanted to wear them all at once.

Santa Clause

Ho Ho Ho

It is Christmas time already!
Jim and I took the four younger kids to the library to see Santa.

Eagle Court of Honor

The Sunday after thanksgiving we held an eagle court of honor for Kenzie and 4 other boys in the ward who recently earned their eagles.

2nd grade field trip

The second grade went up to the bingham canyon copper mine. Less than a

mile from the entrance the bus broke down. The parents all had to ride up separately and we waited for more than an hour for the district to get a new bus, and send it up to pick the kids up, then bring them up to the mine. It cut their time at the mine in half. They ate their lunches while they waited for the bus. This was the first time I remember coming up here. It was neat to see.
They have a museum that showed different machines, and tools they used. They showed copper products, and other neat things. The kids finally got up there and got to look around.
This is one of the tires they use on their trucks. They are huge!
