Pinewood Derby 2013!

Kellen won 3rd place in his age, and 5th overall

Martin Luther King Day

NO SCHOOL!
Bryson started out with an early orienteering course with his Boy Scout troop. (which he deeply despises)
Then we headed out fishing, and relaxing at Water Ranch Lake (on greenfield/Guadalupe) with Tara and Russell and kids! There were fossils buried to uncover, animal tracks, climbing, a small stream, a bridge with ducks and turtles! Fun day!!

Lego Sundays!!

Spent an early release day at Red mountain park.
Scooters. Playground toys. Feeding the ducks.

Her new favorite thing as we wait in line at parent pickup!!
(except this was in the morning dropping them off...I do bath her ;))

Finally a lovely 65 degree day! Against my approval and 'it's still winter' explanation Riah is convinced it's hot and she needs to run in the sprinklers!!!

We don't have TV right now, only movies or shows streamed over the Internet. It's been quite hard for our kids(and tortuous for me) since they sadly have watched alot of tv since we moved to Elmwood Street here in Mesa, it's total different living arrangements than they're use to BUT it's forced them to get creative. Bryson sewed me this wallet!!! So cute! His very first time using the sewing machine and he did great!!

Everyone is all safely buckled in!!

Oh this boy.....

Getting SO big!!
