End of 2022

 

We had a great Christmas.  Leah practicing with her Dribbleup

Gelblaster games all the time

We probably have them weekly now.  

Leah got a big net catch all the stay soccer balls.

We had a great Christmas.

We had the whole family over and the missionaries taught a lesson.

We played lots of games.

We made and handed out treats.

We had a party over for Relief Society as well.  It was a busy but great December

First half of December

We had our Ward Christmas party.  They did the Nativity.

Evan competed in robotics.  They did amazing!

They won the Excellence award which qualifies them for State! They were so happy!

Evan also had his choir concert.  The boys had their band concert.  They all did amazing.  I love watching them show off their talents.

We clean the church every Saturday and Santa showed up.

Of course my kids told Santa things that I have never heard.  lol

Even Leah talked to Santa.

Michael took his turn too!

We also had my work party.  The kids love playing and visiting the animals before the party.

 

Thanksgiving, Orchestra and Joshua Birthday

We did our annual Turkey trot.  

It was pouring rain but we had fun.

Dallin didn't want his picture but he was there too.  

Leah won in her age division.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I forgot to take pictures of the people and food.  I did grab this one of Aaron and his mess.  He got flour all over the floor.

Leah had her orchestra concert.  They sounded good.  She has been working so hard.  Next up is solo/ensemble.

Joshua turned 16!  I can't believe it.

He requested Jessica's lemon cake.  

He is driving now.  He still just has his permit but it is so scary teaching a kid to drive in a big city.  He is doing great.  He has even done the highway.

Aaron and Evan got a little sick but got better just in time to finish out the school year in 2022.

 

Halloween, Robotics and end of band

Robotics tournaments have started.

Evan's team made finals this last tournament.

For Halloween I took the younger three to a Haunted House.  They enjoyed it.  

Area Band competition was a little rainy but I was so proud of their hard work.

I picked up Mom and Jenny and took them to cheer the boys on.

Evan was a knight for Halloween.  Michael made his armor. 

Wednesday, Cousin It and Pugsly for Halloween.  

Michael made these swords so the kids have been having a great time. 

Our Halloween pumpkins.

Aaron at school counting the seeds in his pumpkin.

The first robotics tournament was a little a rough but they learned a lot.

Aaron's winning pumpkin.

Joshua and Dallin had a high school party at our house.

It turned out better than I excepted.  I was a little nervous.  lol

UIL got all 1s in all areas so we they got a trophy.
