Looking At Cows In Los Lunas

We went down to Los Lunas for Gretchen's baby shower that my family gave her. While we were there at my uncle Chris' house, the kids had a lot of fun with his cows...everything from getting licked by a cow, to feeding them!

Year Of The Rat Cake For Boy Scouts Blue And Gold Banquet

The assignment was for father and son to create a "Year of the Rat" dessert to use as the centerpiece of each table at this years Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts. We wanted to have a little fun this year, so with some help from searching Google I think we did pretty well...

Dana's Giant Balloon Ball

After Logan's birthday party, Dana gathered up a bunch of balloons and started tying them together. What she ended up with was a giant ball of balloons, all tied together on the inside. She and Maggie had a lot of fun playing with that for the next few days!

Logan's Birthday

Logan turned 9 (the final single digit year for him!) this last Saturday (Feb. 23). Gretchen made a great cake with a Pokemon character named Pikachu on it. Here's us and all the kids singing happy birthday to him.

Logan Singing The Pokemon Song...

It seems like Logan's getting all of the attention here...maybe we should call this the Logan Updates? Anyway, he has come up with an original song...using the tune and styling of the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song. It takes him a few seconds to get the beginning right in his head...but it's funny once he gets going.

(You'll also notice at the end, we make some comments to use later in Logan's life as we show this video to a future girlfriend)

Logan's Pinewood Derby Shark Car

This years car is, well, cooler than last years car. It earned Logan a 1st place finish in his age group...but ended up on a slow track in the over-all race and didn't place (the track isn't very good, and some tracks are slower than others). Take a look at Logan painting his Pinewood Derby shark car, and then the final, race ready version.

Logan's Spotlight Video

This is the video that we put together to show when Logan was spotlighted in Primary last week

Dana Singing Angels We Have Heard On High

She has a great voice. And she loves the attention!

Great Halloween!

One of our pumpkins didn't feel very well after getting cut up...




Here are a few more pictures of our Halloween fun!
