Mason has watched Whitney rack up all sorts of awards at school since we’ve been here, and this semester was his first chance to get an award of his own. Luckily, he was chosen as a Superstar Student so he got an award. There weren’t very many kids chosen out of his class, so I’m glad he was one of them.
Whitney also got a couple awards; she was chosen because she got two good report cards last semester. Pictures after the break. (more…)

We had work and school off for Martin Luther King day and decided to take a trip. We went to Theodore Roosevelt Park, which is on an island in DC.
It was a pretty good trip. Even though it was cold, the kids had a lot of fun running around and exploring the island. Whitney eventually ended up near death, as you can see by the pictures, and we almost had to leave her behind. She was able to (more…)

I’m cleaning out my old computer and found a bunch of pictures. This particular batch was all organized and just happened to be pictures of our Christmas back in 2003. From the looks of it we spent most of Christmas in Pocatello with Heidi’s family.
There are a bunch of photos following the break. (more…)

Whitney is pretty good too, although she won’t play it for hours on end like Mason. Here is a video of them playing the Godzilla Wii game.

We got over Christmas with no major malfunctions. The kids opened up a present or two on Christmas Eve and then we went over to some friends house. We had a good meal and got back to the house before Santa Claus arrived.
The kids left out some letters for Santa, wanting him to take a picture of himself (Mason) and leave presents for the rabbit (Whitney). The rabbit is now named Sassy, too.
Mason loves pop, and so we try to have root beer around for the holidays. We had some good root beer in bottles for him in the fridge, but he would drink them all in one day if it were up to him. But they are the kind he can’t open, so he (more…)

Whitney and Mason have wanted a pet for a long time. We’ve always said that they can get a dog when Whitney is 10. But she goes through phases when she wants a rabbit, a mouse, or something like that. Mason wants a snake or a lizard.
Whitney must have really been talking about it two weeks ago in church because her teachers made a petition for her that they (and all the other Sunday School class members) signed that said that in their opinion, (more…)
