It has been a long time since I downloaded the pictures from my phone. I didn't realize all the fun activities that have been recorded there, either with pictures I took or ones that friends have taken and sent to me.
This is cutie pie Sara at girls camp last summer. Wow! She has grown up a lot in the last year.
Laney and Susanna have lots of wonderful friends in our neighborhood. Megan and Molly frequently have fun gatherings and invite them to join the fun!
Sara and Tim love to help their 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Heck, set up her classroom for the new school year. Last summer she took them out to IHOP as a thank you. We love her too!
We helped some friends of ours move last fall. This is Nate after we had finished up.
This is Richard and I at our favorite Thai restaurant, Thai Orchid Garden.
This is me camping on the beach. Ok, sleeping in the van on the beach and eating bacon that someone kindly brought to me.
Drew found the ocean.
These show Nate and Drew with their Native American dwellings. Nate left his outside to dry over night and when he brought it to class he realized that had become and Native Arizonian Cricket dwelling. It had several of them hopping around during his presentation.
Nate and Drew are enjoying their Thanksgiving treats in this one.
Nate and Drew received their Arrow of Light Awards in scouts. This is one of their favorite leaders, Jason Jordan.
Tim and I went shopping for a white elephant gift. He was so tired on the way home that he fell asleep with our find.
This is the van on a tow truck with the broken serpentine belt hanging. It left me stranded for awhile. Luckily, I have good friends that helped me pick up kids from various activities while I took care of the van.
This is Laney at her winter dance recital.
Nate and Drew, silly, silly boys!
These pictures are missing from my post about Josh's 16th birthday. Proof that we went to Babbo for dinner.
After dinner, we went to his school's winter play. He had several friends in the play.
Josh and Matt
Josh and Hannah
Susanna got to spray the fire hose during her preschool field trip last fall. She had a blast!
This is Susanna's preschool class at Halloween.
This is Nate and Drew at a friend's birthday party.
Here I am with my mom and cousins, Sandy and Denise and my Aunt Judy, in Superior, Wisconsin. It was January and 33 below zero!
This is the Gilbert Temple. I got to see it on my way home from the airport.
Tim chose to go the Thai restaurant for his birthday dinner.
We saw Gavin's vocal recital. He was Jack, as in Jack and the Bean Stalk, singing songs from In To the Woods. He was awesome!
Josh and Peter found the music soothing, so they took a little nap.
Sam and Josh were inducted into National Honor Society. This is from Sam's ceremony.
Sam and long time friends Caity and Brynna
Sam and Victor wanted to pose by the bathroom. Goofy boys!
Gavin starred in the HMS Pinafore. We all went to see it and LOVED it!
This shows Gavin standing front and center.
Susanna and her BFF, Megan, are ready to ride the cow train on their Farm Field Trip with preschool.
Ice Cream Sandwiches! Yum!
This is the super cool, Mrs. Heck. It was hippie day. Nate and Drew had a great year with her.
What a great year it has been recorded on my cell phone!
