Cottage Fair and Other Happenings

Okay, first of all, sorry the picture on the title is SO BIG! I don't know how to make it smaller, but I still like it so I left it on. Anyhow, this last week we had "Cottage Fair" at the kids' school. They do these really great thematic units called cottages, and then at the end of the unit the family is invited to a fair to celebrate all the neat things they have learned and worked on. Angie's was Plant Nursery so we got to do some planting and learn about plants. Sunny's was all about weather and we got to see her as a Junior Meteoroligist (spelling?). Logan's, being in kindergarten, was All About Me. Very appropriate, and I thought the most fun because we had a potluck where each kid brought food that started with their letter name, so Logan brought lasagna! Anyhow, it was lots of fun--we really love their school and teachers!

The school has a garden and many classes get to plant different things throughout the year.

This is the two manly men in our house fixing a flat tire! Man, are you starting to bald sweetie pie??? I still love you though!



Here are our awesome kids working hard--or should I say hardly working?? Okay, have to capture the moment....

Oh yes, for those who haven't heard, there is a new mythical creature in the imagination nation. It is called the Sanador and it actually made the rainbow! Just thought I would keep you up to date on all the recent happenings in this marvelous country that Sunny loves to frequently visit!

Happy Brithday Jack!

Today was Jack's birthday! Since we had a cub scout pack meeting and a wedding reception to go to that night, we had our celebrations in the morning.

ooohh...Is this what I think it is???????

Oh yeah--it is! I got a laptop! I love you!!!!



Hermione--not impressed with much other that the tissue paper and herself!
(Yes, she was named after the Harry Potter gal--Angie and I both love the books.)



Even though we didn't have party for dad, the wedding reception was a blast! I have never seen one that was so kid friendly! They had pizza, taquitos, popcorn, cotton candy, soft serve ice cream and other stuff too--It was heaven for our kids--and it was outside in a huge front yard--So it was a great party for my wonderful husband's birthday! He deserves it too!

Grand Canyon

Okay, this is my first entry so I sort of did this wrong. To get this in the right order, you need to go down to the "last " post, that is really the first. Or, if you are a believer in the whole "The first shall be last" idea, then go for it from here. Have fun whatever you do!


Contemplating nature's wonders...

Here are our kids, Cousin Mason, and Aunt Mel hanging out.

It was also Logan's 6th birthday that day! He loved his super brownie!

(That's Danny in the back, grinning from ear to ear!)

An attempted group shot....yeah.....

Can you believe they didn't fall off the edge?

This is a recent trip our family took to the Grand Canyon. We were able to meet up with my brother from North Carolina and his family, as well as my sister from Flagstaff.

Happy Blog Day to Us!

This is the birthday of our brand new blog! I have finally started one after seeing so many other ones from family and friends. It really love being able to "spy" into their lives, so I decided that I will let others who want to spy on us as well! So, here goes nothing!
