Snow Valley

The scouts go on a ski day every year.  Jody is the main leader of this trip.  

This year....he took Delaney for her first time.  

Zack - 15

I think she looks pretty good...don't you?!

Delaney - 10

Santa

Have I ever told you what great sports my boys are and how they always help keep the magic alive.  I could not love them more.

James - 16

Zack - 15

Delaney - 10

She asked Santa for American Girl and Little Pets.  

I am pretty sure here little dreams will come true Christmas morning!!  Santa is always so good to her.....has a full on conversation with her and really, I think there is nothing more special than being able to witness such a tender moment.

How could you not be in love with them.

Merry Christmas!!

Zack getting ready to be in the Rose Parade....

Tournament of Roses - Parade

Zachary was picked to be one of the Eagle scouts walking in the parade this year.  This is the first year there will be an actual float for the Boy Scouts.

Look for him in the parade.....he shouldn't be hard to miss.  

He will be the one in the Boy Scout uniform.  

Thank God for glasses.

Anyway -  the first excitement was a reception at the tournament house.  Queen Natalie was on hand with her court, to celebrate with the scouts.

His buddies that were also picked to walk.

Brandon, Zachary and Daniel

Good job boys.....what a great honor!

Science Fair

Zachary made it to the REGIONAL  Science Fair.  He was very excited and worked very hard on his project.  If you ever want to know how to filter water best - just ask him.  We did not help him with this project at all....everything he did he came up with on his own.  OK - we drove him to the pond for really disgusting pond water, but that was it!!

The Fair

Other friends from Sonrise that made it too.

Sonrise did not win any awards this year but what an amazing day!!

Mother/Son school event - bowling

What more needs to be said??

San Diego

Did I ever tell you about taking some employees down to San Diego to see some customers?  Or how when we got off the freeway to head in their direction, right on the border, my brakes went out?  Or how we had to wait to be towed to the local dealership and rent a car place (who I won't even give a shout out to because they suck)?  Or how we had to go down in two weeks to pick up the fixed car?  Or how when we stop for lunch on the way back, Delaney wanted to drink root-beer wearing the LV's??  Or how happy we are when it is our weekend with James?  

Oh yeah....this was a good day!!

Is it ever good to cut your own hair?

NO!!

He was warned NEVER to do it again.  

I thought you only had these conversations with 4 year olds!!

Seriously??

USC

Grandma Judy takes Zachary to the UCS rally each year.  He thinks this is where he would like to go.  he better start practicing that golf is all I can say!!

Our day.

Delaneys first visit....she of course loved it!!
