school concerts




Don't you just love school concerts..... Ariah and her first grade friends sang carols for family on Tuesday night. She is such a performer. Her facial expressions and dancing are fabulous! Of course while she was singing little Kaiel felt the urgency to dance. It was so funny. Everyone around us smiled and laughed. I know what to get him for Christmas, some lessons on rhythm.....

Boat Races




Today was an adventure to Papago Park. The kids had spent the morning developing and designing their own individual boats to take to the 'races'. We met the cousins, brought a picnic, and watched the fun. We had 4 age level heats. First the boys. Neko's pirate boat won. Next the little girls. Ariah's got to the bridge first, of course her's had a little spiritual intervention... Kalani and Gabrielle tied in their race, and Jaylene won the big kids. We had so much fun. It was neat to see the creativity and though each child put into their boats.

Coffee tables


What is a coffee table really for when you have children in your house? Well, it is for dinosaurs and race cars, of course. Kaiel has developed his own city of fun on our coffee table. It provides for hours of langauge development and adventure.

It is pure entertainment to watch.
