Neat Experience

Scott picked up the girls from school and happened to drive by Lodi Memorial just in time to see the helicopter take off.

The New Addtion

Our new addition to our garden are 8 fruit trees.

2 apricot

2 cherry

2 nectarines

1 plum

1pluot (plum/nectarine)

It so cute to see Porter help Scott. He really thinks he is doing as much work as Scott does. Throughout the whole afternoon, Porter would repeat what Scott would say...Very humorous!

Lydia wants to help and have her picture taken too; but Porter is taking things so serious. Doesn't Lydia know that Dad cant plant the fruit trees without my help

After we had a full day at the garden, Scott and I were talking about how grateful we are to have such an opportunity to plant fruit trees and have a large garden. I did make a comment to Scott that because we have invested a lot of money in this garden, John and Alice are going to have to consult with us first when they sell the house. They cant sell the house sooner than 5 years.
So we can get a proper ROI.

Then Scott said that we will just move everything to the Brengles. I am sure that they would welcome it. Don't you?

Did you say "Pee Pee"

Oh yes everyone, Porter has been fully potty trained for a month now. We are soaking up the savings!

Enjoying the Good Outdoors

Howdy Partners!

I looked outside to check on the kids and look what I saw. How cute is that. They all decided to get out the cowboy hats and enjoy the great outdoors.

Tender Moments

Before bed McKenzie had a special surprise for the whole family and asked us all to sit down. She presented us all with certificates.

You may ask where's Porter's certificate, she presented him with a kiss.

Recycling Robot

McKenzie's class was in charge of making a robot out of all recyclable items. And if you look at the robots feet......Azek material is recyclable.

Way to go McKenzie!

New York's, New Years Eve

We were honored to have the missionaries over for a New York time zone New Years Eve. We had an absolute BLAST with them. Our home was filled with lots of love and laughter.

For Christmas we received some great games and the kids were so excited to play games all day especially to play with the missionaries.

With appetizers and a large dinner, we had to top it off with homemade It's It's. Elder Harr bet Sarah a dollar that she couldn't finish hers. He should of never made that bet, Sarah comes from a family who eats ice cream by the gallon.

Sarah Won!

Before we ended the night, Porter had to have another truck run. He loves this truck. It holds 50 cars; he rides the truck and acts like he is driving it. Porter makes truck sounds while driving and when he wants to go backwards, he says, "Back it up, Back it up."

Giving the kids a taste of midnight without them actually staying up until then, we rented G force and they enjoyed that until 10:30pm.

Scott and I partied well into the night. He is my best friend and I am blessed to be his wife and have 4 fabulous children. May 2010 be the year we all want it to be.
