Holidays

Our holidays got thrown off since Cody was in the hospital.  We didn't get pictures of Christmas.
Kids love coloring Easter eggs.  I think Cody and Hanna had more color on their hands than on the eggs.  We then spent several afternoons hiding and hunting Easter eggs.  We had 72 eggs to hide and hunt.  I think we only lost one :)  We then did a surprise birthday party for Carrie since she never gets a birthday for just herself.  We did our reverse Halloween also.  We made three different types of cookies and we walked around the neighborhood surprising the people.  Cody was our token bat for the evening.  We also did Crystal and Hanna's birthdays early.  Kids love the extra cake and ice cream.

 Cody could be a good ballerina

Physical Fitness

Carrie is over the Personal Fitness merit badge, so she is having the whole family participate.  We jogged around her block twice which equals a mile.  We did sit ups, ran stairs,  and a few other things.

 Then we did push ups.  Hanna and Cody did wall push ups

 Kaylynn did push ups off the stairs while the rest of us did regular push ups
Carrie is a slave driver.  We were exhausted :)

Arizona trip 2 Sonora Desert Museum

We took the kids down to the Sonora Deseret Museum by Tucson.  we all had a great time.  We spent all afternoon wandering around and looking at all the different exhibits.  This is a great place for the scouts to come to pass off requirements for several merit badges.
Everyone had to try on the turtle shell.  Cody loved sitting on Justin.

Raptor show.  They flew right beside your head.  Kind of freaky.
Can you locate  the mountain lion
This mountain lion was so interesting to watch.

Arizona Trip 1

We went down a little early to Arizona since Cody ended up in the hospital again for several days.  The kids were so happy to see Cody and mom return home to join the family.  Hanna is trying to help her mom with work.

 Kaylynn and Justin both helped with the cooking.  They are getting real good with the foods they totally love.
                                                             Cody is chilling out

 Award ceremonies from school.  Everyone came home with an award of some sort.
                                                          AWESOME :)
