Valentine's Parties- Feb 14th

Andrew and his friend Jacob.

Andrew and his friend Sean.

Kaitlyn and her friends, Michelle, Thanh and Emma.

The kids all had class Valentine's parties on Feb. 14th. I lucked out that the times were all staggered, so I was able to go in and take pictures. Andrew's was from 12-1, Ella's 1-2 and Kaitlyn's 2-3. After school, Kaitlyn had her Math team practice from 3-4, Andrew had basketball practice from 4-5, Kaitlyn had dance from 5:30-7:30 and Ella had Karate from 6:30 -7:30. Whew, what a day!

Miscellanous Feb 6th-11th

Andrew and his friend Sean went to another boy, Frankie's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  James took him and they sure had fun playing games!

Here is a picture of my girls along with other kids in our ward that went to Isabella's basketball game. She was playing a team that had another friend on it, and her name is Ella. Yes, it gets a little confusing in Senior primary with so many similar names.

On Feb 6th, I put together a little bag with a CTR shirt in it for each child in primary.  I put them together for the whole year and stored them in the church closet so that they are all ready to give out on their birthday. James is taking this picture while watching me.  :)

Rock Band - Feb 4th

We went over to our friend's house, the Burton's. And after eating dinner, we played some rock band. The kids took turns and so did the adults. Yep, even me.

Hockey Game-Boys Night Out - Jan 31st

James and Andrew went to a hockey game with Ernest and his son, also named Andrew. They were so pumped to have a guys night out (even on a school night)! They had an awesome time! I got the video to upload from my camera, but the sound doesn't seem to work for me. Uploading video is all new to me, so I may have to work out some kinks.

Andrew and an Angry Bird Birthday Party - Jan 28

Andrew got invited to his friend, Derek's "Angry Birds" party. It was fun, and a perfect day to be outside at the park. The cupcakes were amazing! They had a set up to play the angry birds game, using stuffed pigs and angry birds and brown paper wrapped up shoe boxes. It was a great hit with all the kids!

Activity Days Talent Share - Jan 25

The girls were super excited that they had a talent share night for activity days. Ella did a nun chuck demonstration and Kaitlyn did a lyrical dance that she choreographed herself. They had a lot of fun and afterward we went out for ice-cream at Handel's where they have dollar scoop Wednesdays (and we have a gift card to, that our home teacher gave us for Christmas).

Basket Ball Practice - Jan 24th

Andrew started basketball in January. It's still nice enough weather to practice outside in the late afternoon. They actually practice at their elementary school, so it's convenient that Kaitlyn has her math team practice til 4 and that's when basketball starts so she just walks over to the playground when she's finished. Andrew is really getting the hang of basketball. The guy in the second picture is their coach.
