So much to do so little time...

I am so behind on my blog. Here are the highlights of FEBRUARY...

Here is Riley and a few of his team mates on the High School Heat Lacrosse team. We spend a lot of time watching his games and taking him to and from practice. Lacrosse is a very exciting game to watch and I have loved watching him play. Riley is a very good player. He is a freshman on the high school varsity and junior varsity teams. He plays Middy (aka: mid field in soccer) and is first string FOGO (face off get off). He does all the face offs after every goal to get possession of the ball. He loves lacrosse more than any sport that he has ever played.

Some of the games early in the season were downright freezing. Here is Isabel, Jace Larsen and Miranda snuggling to keep warm.

We were invited to go to Sedona and stay at a super nice hotel time share with the Crandell's and the Coppee's. It was awesome and I thank the Crandell's for sharing their amazing time share with us. I forgot my camera so I took these pics off of Kristens Blog. Thx Kristen.

This was the kitchen of one of the rooms.

Miranda with snow all in her hair.
The kids had a great time with their snowball fight.

We stopped at my Sisters house in Prescott Valley on our way back from Sedona. This is some video footage of Isabel and Kaylyn singing like a rock star. American Idol here we come...

Out to Dinner with our good friends the Coppee's and the Tylers just after Valentines Day.

Alek at the Blue and Gold Banquet receiving his Webelo badge.

Alek was awarded the arrow of light award. He was given this arrow to help him remember to continue the straight path to receiving his Eagle.

Here is Alek after he crossed the bridge graduating from Cub Scouts to Scouts. He was received by his new Scout Master Mike Tyler

Alek and Chance entered their schools Science Fair in the group project Division. They worked very hard on their project which was about boat buoyancy. They made 3 different sized boats 1 1/2 in tall, 1 in tall and 1/2 in tall. They used 3 different materials for the boat metal, wood and Styrofoam. They put them in water and added quarters until they sunk to determine which material at which height could hold the most weight.

They won fourth place in the group project division out of 23 groups.

Way to go Alek and Chance!!!

Mesa Academy for Advanced Studies is a really excellent school and I am so glad to see that they are bringing back some of the "old school " things like Science Fairs!!!
