Taking a Break

Taking a break from blogging; Need to get caught up on life, take care of sick kids, and other self improving matters. Will post when back.

Running Bear

Anthony recently learned about Indians and Pilgrims at school. As part of learning about Indians they did a dance for all the parents to see.

Anthony's Character

For a school project Anthony had to create a character that represented what he wanted to be when he grows up. It was an easy decision for Anthony, he wants to be an engineer just like his dad and design helicopter parts. He could use any medium that he wanted and so he choose fabric so he could use my sewing machine. He helped cut the fabric out, sewed on buttons, stuff his character as well as paint the hair and shoes on. He asked me to use my embroidery machine to write Bell Helicopter on his character's shirt. Grant also shrunk a drawing of his from work and we included it with his character. Anthony sure had a lot of fun.

Family Update

Life has been busy for our family. For Thanksgiving we drove up to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with Grant's family up at Bearlake on the border of Utah and Idaho. After Thanksgiving we all drove down to Roosevelt to see Seth get baptized and then hurried home so the kids could get back to school. Spencer really enjoyed being up in the mountains and when we went for our morning walks with Grandma and Grandpa, Spencer insisted on walking up the mountain himself, and he did!!

It was nice to get away and get a family vacation this year, even though it was a short one. It was nice just to take a break from the every day life and visit with family.
