Tonight we had Zachary's pinewood derby. The girls took the pictures during the activity.

Jessica got a nice picture of Samantha! What a cutie!







Andrew got lucky and was announcing the heats for each race.





Parker and Adam enjoying the action of the race.







Zachary's car is the one with the orange wheels. He placed 3rd and 4th each race.

The boys looked excited to start racing!



We are just happy to be here!

Christmas Vacation pt 2

Zachary got a chance to drive a race car. He did a good job!

The next day we thought that we were going to the meteor crater in Winslow, but the weather was bad so we went to Tucson.


We went to Old Tucson Studios. Many westerns were filmed here, including Little House in the Prairie. Here is Samantha pretending to be dead.


Here I am in front of little Mexican town scene.


We saw a comedy stunt show. Look closely you can see a man falling from the tower.




My western girls!!


I had to put my boys away!!


The desert can be beautiful.

We then went to an airplane museum, with Nile and Candi's family.



They all fit so nicely under the wing.



Parker looks like he is ready for battle.


Samantha is taking it easy in this fighter plane.


We had to get a picture of us in front of this amazing plane!



Here are our kids and their cousins. We will miss them.


We also went to Amazing Jakes and I got a great picture of Andrew and Samantha on the rock wall.
We had a great time in Arizona! We miss everyone already!! See you in April!

Christmas Break in AZ!

The Christmas break began with a skiing trip for Andrew, Jessica and Samantha. They said that they had a great time. I was with the boys for the day and we went to see The Chronicles of Narnia.


We headed off to Arizona! On Monday we spent time with the Threet Family.

We rode quads and shot guns. We all had a great time!
Andrew and I had a great time riding on the quads!!! I had not ridden for a long time.


Parker got the hang of riding really quickly!!


Jessica went riding with Garrett. Later on she rode by herself.


Samantha rode with Hayden.

I think shooting came second nature to Samantha, kind of scary.

I shot off an AK-47. That sucker has some power, it was like a firework going off in your arms.



Jessica seemed to enjoy shooting also.


The next day we went driving race cars! Parker enjoyed himself thoroughly!!


More of the vacation tomorrow!
