Makenna was in the Nutcracker this year. She was a flower and a candy cane. She really loves taking ballet. Here she is with Erin a tin soldier.
She looks like she should be on one of those jewelry boxes we got as little girls.
Her fans minus a few that were busy trying to break into lockers!!! Shame, shame on you.
The cast.
This is Caden on his first day of "real" school. We've had a few personality conflicts, so after many arguments, discussions and tears, Caden enrolled in the 4th grade in a school here. He calls it "real" school. He is enjoying it thus far, but on the second day wanted to know when summer break starts, and then a few days later wanted to know if he could go back to k12. We will keep you posted.
They went caving....
Caden ripped his shirt on a rock....
Makenna's idea to take a picture laying in the street.
Although we were suppose to be in Boise for Thanksgiving, the only way for us to see Dean was to meet in St. George. So the kids and I left Tuesday afternoon and Dean left at midnight Tuesday to meet up with us. We stayed with Dean's Mom, who does everything from scratch!! So the boys jumped in and helped. Makenna was still sick and we didn't want her in the kitchen. Although she would have come up with an excuse anyway, cooking not her thing.
Jenny had gotten these kits for the kids to do. We had a friendly competition between the boys and girls. They took it very seriously. Each team worked in separate rooms and tried to send spies to check out what the other was doing.
Adele, Anna and Piper were flying to Boise to spend Thanksgiving with our family, but ended up with a detour to Salt Lake. After many delays and running through airports they made a stop in Salt Lake. It was not a scheduled stop mind you. So they came with what Adele had in her carry on, aka a diaper bag, and that's it. But we loved the one night they stayed with us. The girls are so happy and easy going, they are a blast to be around. And although you can't tell, Adele is pregnant with number 3 due in May!!!!
