Mind Storms!

OK I had never heard of this program until Reb told me about it.  Its so cool, The boys are sponsored by there school to build a LEGO'S robot. The team gets a bunch of Lego's with a brain and they build a robot.  The boys then program the robot to do certain missions. This year the missions were focused on the environment.  They programed the robot to save a polar bear, move a house out of harms way and build a bridge. Josh's team was made up with 5 kids and one coach. The coach is not allowed to help the boys only to refocus them when they get side tracked.  I have to admit Coach Matt did a great job I would of gone nuts!  They worked on the robot for months. But the best part for the kids and adults was the competition day. It was so fun! these kids who compete in this program are amazing! The winners from Clovis were a group of 9yrs they are now going to nationals in GA. It was great to watch how much Josh has grown during this project.  He can't stop building and using the Lego program on the computer! He can't wait until next year!

Zion

Kevin and Josh camping with James, his boys and Oliver.  They went to see a Southern Utah football game (James is friends with the coach) and they camped at  Zion's.   They had a blast. Josh keeps wishing he could have a drink from the natural springs again. I think he has told me a hundred times that he didn't know water could taste so GOOD!  And he now would like to play football. I think it had something to do with going down on the field after the game and playing football for 2hrs with his dad and cousins.  Thanks James Kevin and Josh had a great time!

Thanksgiving

Ok I'm a little late in this blog but better late than never.  1st Just wanted to give a huge shout out to my mother in law Barbara.  She is amazing, not only did she take her vacation to watch my crazy kids for a week.  ( I just slept and played mommy with Brooke) . But she also stayed at my house, cooked great food. did my laundry. got my kids up and to school everyday and cleaned my house! Its never looked so good.  I'm so blessed to have her in my life and I'm very grateful for her!  So super thanks to a great lady!

Thanksgiving was a blast this year. Barbara made a beautiful dinner with some great sides by Sarah my sister in law.  And the company was great we had Kevin's grandmother and Barbara's sisters family come up from the LA area. Kevin's family has a great tradition of bingo with prizes and it was a blast! Lauren cleaned up this year I think she had 6 or 7 prizes, Go LaLa.  Timmy walked away with a darling Red Woman's wallet!  That poor guy every year gets a lady's prize. 

Our photos are of the girls 1st experience of seeing what the turkey really looks like before its cooked. Least to say they didn't have any for dinner.
