Merry Santa Day 2013!

This year we baked a ton of goodies to deliver to our neighbors for Santa Day.  As always...while we were out serving our neighbors, Santa stopped by our house and left presents for everyone!

Brooklin got a William Shakespeare Star Wars Book, an Iron Man contacts case, two new pairs of jeans, some notepads, an infinity scarf, a Bubble Talk game, and a "class ring".  We decided to buy her a ring she would actually wear beyond graduation...class rings are kind of ugly...so we got her a ring with emeralds in it because they are her birthstone.

Caleb got TWO guns!  One Nerf gun and one 12-gauge shot gun!  He also got a BSU jersey, an Xbox controller, an Xbox game, a Wheel of Time book, some ammunition, and a Star Wars calendar.

London got a pair of homemade fingerless gloves, makeup, a Nook HD and case, two pairs of jeans, a scarf, and an Elite book.

Isaiah got two long sleeve t-shirts, a Nerf gun, an Xbox controller, Minecraft, a remote control car, a Would You Rather game, finger lights, and a ninja sword pen that makes swooshing noises.

Kalia had a Bubble Guppie Christmas!  She got a singing Bubble Guppies playset, three pairs of pajamas (one was Bubble Guppies), a dress, some Bubble Guppies maracas, stuffed animal Bubble Guppies, an animal book and a very cute "hootie-hootie" from her Gammy.

Kalia

     Although she can't talk very well yet to tell us what she wants, I am pretty sure anything with Bubble Guppies, Minions (Despicable Me), or Dora the Explorer on it would do.  She also loves candy, cheese, grapes, seaweed, cookies, crackers, and fruit snacks.  She really likes playing with her baby-sized legos and wooden blocks too.  

Happy Halloween

Crow and Scarecrow

Gandalf and Waldo

Smarty Pants and Nerd

Darwin did dress up this year, but I guess I didn't get a picture of him.  He wore black pants and a black t-shirt that said "Budget Ninja Costume" on it. =)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Calvin O'Russell made an appearance this year!  Green presents for everyone!

Father's Day 2011

Happy Father's Day!!

Caleb made this desk sign in woodshop at school.

 ...and he painted it dad's two favorite colors.  Blue and Orange for BSU.

 A new lap desk

 Isaiah likes HexBugs so much, he got one for his dad.

 A wireless keyboard for the iPad

 This is a small fish tank.  We made fabric fish to go in it, since we weren't going to wrap up live fish.  Darwin has been wanting fish for his office, so this little tank should do the trick.
