Scarecrow Sarah

I was downloading the pictures off of the camera and noticed this from this fall.

For those that didn't know, Sarah was in a community play with the Gene Fulmer Rec Center. She was the Scarecrow in a modified Wizard of Oz. She did an awesome job!! Had a solo song (someone else sang too - just so that they had a singing part, but it was really all Sarah with her booming voice & great scarecrow-like gangly-leged moves)!

Hear are pictures we took of here & a freind that came to see her.

The pond near-by

There is a nice pond near our appartment (Laura passes by while walking Lydia). It has ducks, geese, swans, frogs, fish, and all sorts of things in or near it so the girls are just enthrawled with it. They love to take some bread down & feed the ducks and swans.

Here's a few pictures from the area:

Keri took this one with her phone today.

This is Laura's great photography.

The girls having fun!

Brennen's Birthday

Well, it was Brennen's birthday on Tuesday. We pre-ordered Guitar Hero III for the Wii from Walmart.com as his present. The kids at seminary gave him a huge birthday card (full poster-board folded in half), and a whole bunch of candy.

We had an ice-cream cake since he doesn't like regular cake all that much. We lit some really tall candles that Laura got. Brennen tried to blow them out before Laura could take a picture. When I finally let him, he pretend-sneezed to put them out & it looked pretty darn real. Then, Laura was late on the snapshot becaused of that - and then the batteries were low so she couldn't get it to go again while he 'posed' blowing them out.

Luckily, Keri had videoed it all on her phone. Here it is for your enjoyment.

Here's the late photo...

And a rare smile from Brennen...
