Satchels birthday







Yesterday was our first birthday in the season. Satchel turned ten!
The much awaited day finally arrived, and after much thought (much, much, much thought!)
Satchel decided that he would like to go to the Strong Children's Museum. So off we went, to the world of fairy tales, miniature grocery stores, dance studio's, and old video games that mom used to play. Froggy? Pacman? Aliens?
At home again, we went into hyper-drive so that we could finish all festivities before yw/meetings/ym/cub scouts started.
We started the present opening process, and after some jumping around, an overly excited child had to take a bathroom break.
When we finally finished Satchel had received some cartoon making software, shirts and socks, legos, bionicles, and some earbuds. The cake was chocolate and vanilla swirled, with fresh strawberries, chocolate frosting, and ice cream. He blew out all ten candles on one try. All the fuss was sure worth it.

me being a lawyer


Okay, so at our homeschool co-op we were studying the court system, and how to conduct a trial. I was on the defense team, (Hansel and Gretal are innocent!) and I think in this one I was delivering the opening statement which I wrote, and our "judge" is in the background. Oh, and we won!

first snow






Okay, just so ya all know, the sudden burst of posts, is because I finally uploaded all my photos onto the computer.
For those photographers, I was trying to shoot some of the plants in our yard with the snow on them. Some turned out well, and others weren't all that great.

Christmas






I took a TON of pictures of me and the boys for a Christmas present for my mom and dad.
Do you know how long it takes to get ONE decent shot of us when three boys can't keep a straight face at the same time?
Let me just say longer than you can imagine.

Basketball



Wow, so I realized I have had this blog for about a year because I have posts from last year about basketball. Anyway, here are some pics of church bball 09. Elias is old enough to do it too!
