Ben is Growing!

Ben has started growing teeth he has two on the bottom and two on the top. His top ones are one the sides.  You can see one of them.  

Marianne calls it his little fang.

      

              Ben had fun at the Discovery Center mostly in the five years or younger room.

                                         

 Ben also loved the static ball.

 

Snowy Days

We have had a lot of snowy days this winter.  Here are a few pictures from the sledding fun.

Discovery Center

We used one of our "extra" christmas vacation days and went to the Discovery center.  The kids always have fun there.

Gingerbread Houses

We made gingerbread houses twice this year.  Everyone had fun!

 Graham Cracker kind for FHE one night.

(Clara should go here.  She was present both times but I think she must have had the camera because I didn't have a picture of her.)

 The real gingerbread ones with some friends (she made the gingerbread).

Everyone had fun!

Happy Birthday Lea!

Lea turned 9!

Grandparents

Play

Emma is the old Lady  . . .sorry I can't remember the name, in the last school play.

Veteran's Day Parade

Emma and Marianne participated in several parades this fall. These are from the Veteran's Day Parade.  It ended up being the last parade of the year since all the Christmas Parades were cancelled due to the weather.

Emma's 17!

Happy 17th Birthday Emma!  I can't believe she's 17 already.  My how time flies!

                   

                

Here are two of Emma's Senor Pictures. A photographer that used to be in our ward exchanged taking these pictures with Emma be Emma babysitting for her.

Baby cereal

Ben's first attempt to eat baby cereal.  He eats a little occasionally but doesn't really like it.  He just wants to play with the spoon.  He doesn't eat enough to replace a feeding yet, still eats every 1 1/2 hours.

Discovery Center

James went to the Discovery Center with his Grandpa and Grandma Maughan. He liked playing in the under 5 years old room. He went the 17 or 18 of August 2013.

Lea went as well on the 23 of August. She really liked the static ball. She all so enjoyed going to the star room where you walked in and it looked like night.

Grandparent's Day

Grandma Maughan attended Grandparents Day with Lea.  Here are some pictures from the day.

Paintballing

We went paint balling with our Sprigg cousins this year. We paint balled in the woods behind our house. We all had a really fun time, even with all the ticks.

Ben's Blessing

 Here are a few pictures from Ben's Blessing yesterday.
