Lazy January Days

 I honestly am not doing great with this whole blog/journal thing cause I honestly don't remember what we did for New Years Eve and I took no pictures. All I can remember is it was just us.  No friends, no family.  We were lame. haha! New Years Day we did go out and go sledding with our new sleds and broke 2 of them.  But it was fun!

 Not sure why I took this other than, he is just cute!

 For Family Home Evening one night we talked about prayer and then made our own prayer rocks!  They turned out great.  Its funny how quickly the rock becomes apart of your bedroom furniture and you forget about it, but the art project was perfect and the kids still have them while I'm writing this (9 months later).

 Seth and Jaq headed back to school and I snapped this picture (below) just because I love watching them walk out of school for some reason.  It just reminds me of how they are truly in their KID LIFE.  Anyways.  I just love capturing everyday regular life stuff some times.  (We got a good kick out of some of Seth's journal he brought home--so sweet about missing Scott on his mission. I think this pic was taken to sent to him).

 You cannot give an 8 year BYU football fan a helmet and not expect him to create his own BYU football field in our basement and constantly beg people to play with him.

 Love my little BYU fans!

Oh the Pinewood derby begins.  We have no idea what we're doing.  But here goes....

 The finished product. :) Hum...a BYU car?  NO way.   He definitely didn't win a lot, but at least he won once!  He was a tremendous sport about it though and loved just watching the races.  He's a good kid and has a great attitude.  Of course we would have loved to win more, but he was happy for the kids who did well.

 I love that Jaq and Collin were doing this all on their own. Even thought she can't really read, she will scan the lines with her finger (like she's reading brail) and say she's reading the scriptures.  And sweet Collin just is following suit.  SCRIPTURE POWER!

 She earned it!  Her pink football.  (I can't help that she was a little influenced by someone in choosing this as a reward for good behavior and cleanliness)  But she REALLY wanted it.  Hence the picture of both of them.

 And now they're ready to play.

 And this is what you get on a lazy morning before Kindergarten and your mom is in the shower. :)

 This was one of about a million pictures I found of all these barbies on my phone.  Who could possibly be the culprit?

 Collin teaching or reading to Olaf.  

 For some reason, pictures like these crack me up.  

 I LOVE THESE PICTURES.  They are so sweet to me.  One day Jaq created this whole little set up with snacks and blankets like they were on a picnic.  Then they laid down to take a nap after they ate and lo and behold they really fell asleep!  Collin loves her and I am so grateful she is still home (even for a half day) to play with him.

This package totally made this girls' day.  While we were up north at Christmas singing songs with Cordelle's family, Jaq was trying to remember a song she had learned in Primary that no one knew.  Anyways, later Lisa Morris found it and sent it to her in the mail so she could have it.  How thoughtful is that?  She was just as excited to get her own package as she was to have the name of the song she couldn't ever remember.
