Where is Jena?

Can you spot Jena and Jacey in these pictures?

Jena loves baby dolls,

and so does Jacey!

Pinewood Derby

Last Night was Joshua's last pinewood derby (I am so glad we don't have to worry about another derby car again).

.

He wanted his car to look like a Pink Pearl Eraser (pretty clever if you ask me). Sorry the picture isn't very good I took it with the camera on my cell phone.

At the starting line (this is Brother Powell one of Josh's scout leaders, I hope he doesn't mind having his picture posted).

The scout leaders gave him the best E-racer award! He ranked 7Th over all, I don't know how happy he was with his ranking. I told him it didn't matter how well he ranked as long as he had a good time, and I think he did!

16 Month Photos

Alright here are Jena's 16 month pictures, I know I'm a little slow considering that she was 16 months on the 28Th of December.

Conversations with Jacey

Lastnight we are driving down the road to go buy ice cream and Jacey says to me:

"Mom who will teach me how to cook?" and I said

"When you get bigger I will teach you how to cook, Why."

"So I can cook for my kids" she says.

I said "you are going to have kids?" and her response was: "yes when I get big I am going to have kids. I am going to marry a boy. I don't know what boy, I will decide when I am a teenager and we will go on dates and then we will get married."

Keep in mind that she is only 6, I'm not sure why she is worried about learning how to cook and what boy she is going to marry!

D.A.R.E Graduation

Last night was D.A.R.E Graduation for Josh and his fellow 5Th grade classmates. I am only posting pictures of Josh and his graduation certificate because I don't have permission from the other kids parents to post pictures of their children (and I let Jake take the pictures and most of them are blurry).

You would have thought we were at a rock concert with how loud the kids were all screaming, I may regain my hearing again someday!

Congratulations to Josh on graduating from D.A.R.E. I hope that he will always remember the things that Officer Miller taught him and stay drug free.

for those of you who don't know what D.A.R.E stands for: Drug Abuse Resistance Education

they teach the kids about the dangers of drugs alcohol and violence.

Look Grandpa

Jena is finally warming up to you!

Jena isn't really a people person and for some reason she doesn't like her Grandpa very much. Any time he talks to her or even looks at her she runs away from him, but the last time he was here she finally decided that maybe she liked him enough to share Elmo and Barney with him. We are making some progress Grandpa!

Snow much fun!

Jacey built this snowman all by herself!

The kids are glad to have some snow to play in. It is so nice living right across the street from the church, because the kids have some really good snow hills made by the plow that plows the church parking lot. It's nice that I can just send them over to the church to sled and I can stay in my nice warm house!

Merry Christmas

Santa was very good to us this year, the kids all really liked what they got, as you can see Jena really enjoyed opening presents!
