Polar Express

Seans 2nd grade class put on the Polar Express for their Christmas program. They all did a great job. Here are some pictures and videos of Sean.

Sean did a really great job. The picture with the sticks they were singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. They learned sign language and did Silent Night in sign language. Here is the video of Sean doing sign language. ( Its very short.)

This one is my fave. It is so cute and funny. So here it is, Sean and half his class doing the Macarana.

Mom & Beer

This is what happens when mom decides to shake the beer! So please don't shake the beer. This is actually her Beer Bread mix. You take one of these and a bottle of beer and mix it and bake it. I didn't get a chance to taste it for I had to head for home. Thanks mom the good laugh and a great time Yesterday.

Tree Hunting

Yesterday we went to mom and dads to find a tree. They wouldn't let us have one out their many trees in the yard, so dad told us to follow him, that he would show us where we could find us a tree. He took us out on Boulder, we went about 100 yrds from the truck when Jayden found a good looking tree, but no we didn't take it yet, we hiked and looked around a little more but didn't find anything better. The only thing we found was an ice covered creek which Sadie had to step on and fall through. We circled back around and took the tree Jayden found. She did the cutting of the tree.

We couldn't find a good one for mom and dad, so we loaded up and drove up the mountain looking. We stopped several times and looked. Dad got out and walked up the little hill to look. This is him walking back to us.

Still didn't find one. So off we go again. We looked and looked, we found a big group of trees up a hill. We walked around and looked. After awhile we separated and looked around.

I found a tree for them and this is how mom makes her decisions on if the tree will work for her. She had Sean and Jayden hold down a few branches while she backed up and looked it 0ver.
She decided against it. She decided on one that her and Jay found. They cut it down together, even though mom tried to cut off Jays finger accidently. ( only a flesh wound) Here are some other pic from tree hunting.

Construction

Saturday night, we made a gingerbread house, I did the construction of the house, and the kid did the siding , shingles and the landscaping. They had fun doing it. The hardest part for them was not eating the candy. Sadie did manage to sneak a little candy in, Jayden ate a gumball, she denies it though.
Rod helped out even, by puttin on the glue for the shingles.




We have to do this again next year, but have more icing and candies.

Christmas pics.

These are the pictures Rod & I did up for Christmas.

!!HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Thanksgiving @ Emikos

This year we went to Emiko and Marks for Thanksgiving. We all enjoyed ourselves I think. Well I did anyway. Em & Mark cooked a great dinner, Tacey brought the most yummy yams ever, Mari brought a great green salad, along with the Wii fit board. Mari & Tacey kept the kids entertained, while Em & I did up the dishes. Thank goodness for cowboy dishes. Then we motated into the living room for a try at the Wii. Rod even played with us, after finished drawing a picture. I thoroughly enjoy the Wii, & R0d says we can actually get one now once its taxes time. Well here are some pictures we took of the kids and other family members.

This is us on the way.

Dishes!

Tacey, say Cheese.

Sadie took this one of Camden.

I just want to say thanks Emiko & Mark for a Wonderful Thanksgiving. THANKYOU!
