Andy graduated from CODA training academy. He now lives in Safford. We will be moving up there hopefully in May. That made Christmas a little difficult because he can only visit Wednesday morning to Friday night. So we had a family Christmas with Andy on Thursday then Santa came on Saturday. The children loved it. Tanner got an electronic hamster with an air plain accessory and a jacket. Elwyn got a Preciouse Places Castle with the princesses and a dress. Daniel got a slide and two pairs of shoes. It was a great Christmas. More than we expected. My Mom got me a pack of socks which was good because I really needed them. I am sorry I don't have very many pictures. I recorded most of it with my video camera and I cannot get it onto the computer.
I made Tanner's costume. He is a frog if you can't tell. Elwyn is a pink cat and Daniel is a bee. We went to your wards trunk or treat. The kids loved it.
We got a little kitten for the children. And Andy really really wanted one. So when we found a mouse in the bathroom I gave in and we got this new little boy.
Tanner was so ready to go to school. He just ran strait on to the bus with out a single tear. I was ready for him to go to. He loves to come home and do his homework too. He has been really into drawing lately.
Camping this year was rather miserable. It rained so hard every day that we couldn't get a fire started and our tent started leaking. The kids were wet and cold the whole time. All we could do was huddle under the canopy. Finally when Daniel was sick we went home early. Next time we need to go earlier in the year.
I was yard sling witn my sister and my visiting teacher decided to just give me her giant electronic dinosaur. It roars, blinks, wags it's tail, shakes it's head, and plays music. The kids love it.
