Cake Contest!

Tanner was invited to the Blue and gold banquet for Scouting. He will not be in scouts for about four more months but our ward invited all the boys that will be turning eight and their families this year. For the banquet each boy was to make and decorate a American cake. Tanner and I made Uncle Sam's hat. It was a fun little project for us to do. Some of the other cakes were the white house, the U.S., an American flag and much more. It was a fun night with friends and a chance to see what Scouting is all about.

Soccer Season AGAIN!

Soccer is back. A lot of early mornings and cold weather plus practices twice a week. Yippee!! It's neat to see Tanner improving each season. It is to bad that he doesn't want to play. I think he is quite good. He says he wants play basketball and baseball. I guess after three years of soccer it can get a little tiring.

Preschool

Here is Makenzie's preschool group. Myself and three others moms do a preschool two days a week. Last week was my week. We worked on the letter P. So we had a PJ party ate popcorn and watched pink panther cartoons. It was a pretty fun week.

Time Out for Women!

So I went to Time out for Women last weekend. I went with a bunch of ladies from my ward. What a great experience. The speakers were wonderful and the entertainment and socialization well worth it. It was a well deserved break. Although I came home with my feet double the size and hurting I would have to say that I would do it again. Next year hopefully I can get my mom and sister to go. Differently a must go if you have never gone before.

Saturday lunch at a Brazilian restaurant

Here's my roomies

OUCH!!!

Kent played Men's Church basketball on Thursday. This is how he come home. Check out the middle finger. He said it got popped out of the socked and he popped it back in. I took the picture a couple days later so it actually looks a little better but he says it still hurts pretty bad.

Church ball is brutal.

Made in China?

On Saturday afternoon we were driving to Pasco to drop the kids off at their cousins house so Kent and I could go to the temple. Tanner was in the back set reading a book. I was also reading a book when I heard Tanner yelling...
"Mom. Mom." I answer with a "What" He then asked me his question. "Where were we made." It took me a second to think of what to say so I stayed safe and said heaven. He then said. "NO, NO, were we made in China." I turned around in my seat and said "What" and He explained that everything was made in China. I think he noticed on all his toys it said made in china so he just assumed that everything was made there. It was probably the cutest thing I have heard him say in a long time. Now that he can read it just got him thinking. Kids say some of the silliest things.

Take the shot!

Tanner is in his 2nd year of basketball. It is amazing how improved he has gotten in just one year. He loves to play basketball. He would play all year round if it was his choice. We have a basketball hoop above our garage and he is out there shooting baskets almost every day after school. Tanner's team is blue and he is the one running with the ball down the court.

Another picture? I'm tired of this, just take it and get it over with. Ha Ha!
