What's on my camera... (LOTS OF PICTURES)

I am a blog slacker, for sure. I'm sorry. To update a bit, here's what's on my camera (in no particular order)....

Mother's Day

Kellly's Concert Choir.  She's on the front row, right side, with a red flower in her hair.  She is blurry because she was DANCING!

Leslie's first dental visit.  She loved it and we can't keep the toothbrush OUT of her mouth.

Christopher's visit to the dentist - the first one where he actually opened his mouth.  Beside his cleaning, he had to have three fillings - thank goodness for a DVD player and a dentist who can secretly give Christopher numbing shots.

John's 45th birthday was May 15th.  He was already living in Colorado so we sent him a birthday package including this picture of the kids.

Leslie in pigtails for the first time.

Leslie had scabs on nine of her ten toes because she dragged (drug) her feet when her brother was pushing her in one of those yellow and red play cars.

Kelly at the district Math and Science Olympiad.

Kelly singing a duet at her voice recital (her partner dropped out so her teacher sang with her).  Even though Kelly had a raging UTI (we thought it was the onset of the flu because she later had a very high temperature and was sick for days) she did SOOOOO well (I will post the video that I have of it in another post).

Christopher giving his animal report - he chose penguins.

The penguin book Christopher made - this is a picture of how a penguin moves - by sliding on his stomach.

Kelly as Hannah Elizabeth Williams Layton for the 4th Grade Wax Museum.

Christopher's fish from the fish farm field trip.

The BEST Family Home Evening in a long time....

Someday I'll post about our wonderful Christmas vacation to Sacramento, but today I'm just going to do a quick post about our Family Home Evening lesson tonight...

Five year old Christopher was in charge. He loves legos. I mean LOVES legos. I don't know that he got more than a present or two for Christmas that didn't have something to do with legos. Sooooo... for FHE tonight we dumped out the lego bucket and told everyone to make something that had to do with a scripture story. We all guessed the stories and then discussed them at the end.

JJ and his lego scene... The apostles didn't catch any fish. Jesus told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat. The nets came up full of fish - so many that the boat almost sang.
Kelly illustrated the story of Jesus traveling to the temple with His family and being left there. When Mary and Joseph went back to find Him, Jesus was teaching in the temple.
Christopher built a wall and had Samuel the Lamanite on top. The other two people threw rocks and arrows at him but nothing ever hit Samuel (see the "rocks" on the green ground?).

When Kelly gave the closing prayer she was thankful for the best FHE. Success!

Logan Temple

For FHE one night we drove to Logan. Among other things, we walked around the temple and took some pictures.

Final Picture

Final picture with Grandma and Grandpa Fewkes before they left to go home. We had so much fun with all of the activities we crammed into the weekend they were here.

Syracuse City Pumpkin Walk

The first thing we did with Grandma and Grandpa Fewkes was attend the Syracuse City Pumpkin Walk. There were so many carved pumpkins. All the activities (except the hamster balls) were free. It was great!

Grandparents

We couldn't pass up taking a picture of the kids with both sets of grandparents.
