'Tis the Season

For Christmas Programs

Benson's 2nd Grade Christmas Program

I think he was a snowman

Bradley's Pre-School Program

And a visit with Santa

Blake's 6th Grade Band Program He also played a percussion duet...

His teacher said it was the first time anyone had requested to do a percussion duet

Brayden's 7th Grade Band Program

Let it Snow

Buy them a shovel...

Everyone says they will get tired of shoveling

Hopefully not for a long, long, long time!

We've been laughing all week.

School was closed in Tehachapi, California, where we just moved from for the whole week for snow.

The funny thing is that here in Wyoming, they don't even plow the roads regularly.

They did 5 days ago, and since then we've probably gotten at least 8-10 inches of more snow.

There are drifts up to two feet deep in the middle of the road in places.

And cancel school? Not even thinking about it.

I'm glad, I always thought it was a little crazy to cancel school so quickly.

Basketball

Brayden has never been a huge basketball fan

But move him to a small town,

Give him lots of opportunities to do almost anything he wants

And hey, he's pretty good!

The first game, he made one of two baskets in the game.

He's really good about getting to practice by 5:55am

Unfortunately, someone has to get him to practice

Hint - I wish it was Bryan!

They won this game against Lyman 17-14

Yea Cowboys! He played the next game in Afton, and this is in Cokeville.

He gets a lot of road time, the nearest school is an hour away.

One more home game next week, and we're done.

Way to go Bray!

Journey to Bethlehem

We took a trip through Bethlehem at the church.

We heard from King Herod

(Had to go there first because the boys got a ring pop

- they had scoped out the treats beforehand)

The Shepherds told us their story & sang to us.

(Yea, that Shepherd looks familiar)

Check out the City of Bethlehem in the background

The stars even twinkled - pretty talented Shepherd/trainer!

The Wise Men shared their gifts

Mary and Joseph told of their journey

Bradley made a good cow

The Innkeeper told an awesome story

He was so good!

Bradley was mesmerized by the Angels

(The middle one is his preschool teacher)

Brayden was a Shepherd & Tour Guide And of course, our littlest Shepherd

It was so awesome!

A Good Day

We've been told

that while building a house

any day a contractor shows up is a good day.

FINALLY!

Another good day!

Of course, they waited two great weeks

and came the day it snowed.

Oh well, it's their frozen fingers!

Waiting

Brett got tired of waiting for me

to finish getting ready.

I left him there for his nap, it lasted 1 1/2 hours!

What a sweet thing.
