We discovered that although we are increasing the number of pushups we can do; we need to start working on our pull up routine.  Not one of us can do one!  How do you like the usage of duct tape here?!

 

 

 

 

Tomahawk throwing- watched the older 4 hit target(only 2 in pictures).  They were working on hitting target at further distances.  They really like this part of the class.

In January

I said yes to the girl who wanted blue hair.  She wasn't real happy with the color(wanted a deep blue) but I think it looks like the sea here:)

 



 

Got to hang out with my mom(and middle sis) on her birthday.

 

 

Had fun at WinterJam

 

My oldest niece had fun too. 

 

These kids decided to try their hand at whittling.  Made whistles and arrow heads.

 

 

and got to snuggle with these  goofy guys too!  

in the magical time of the year

 

Unexpected things like packages from special friends from Hawaii appear at your door.  Thank you!

 

You remember how even though things aren't as you planned, you are so incredibly Blessed!

 



 

Enjoy the memories that you make in your chaos from my family to yours :)
