Lemons!

When Life Gives you Lemons, Make Lemonade!
We have lots of lemons and I'd like to say we had fun picking them, but they all wanted the ladder and the gloves (the thorns were a killer)! But I did bribe them to pick a basket full.

Austin helping me juice them, put them in ice cube trays and freeze them. It makes it so easy to thaw and use.

They all wanted a piece of the action. What a fun sticky adventure!

Lemons anyone?? We also have oranges, cuties, and grapefruit so come on over and pick what you want! I should have taken a picture of the wonderful lemon meringue pie I made.

We had a great time and were glad we didn't miss the game. Love, Love, Love the dunes.

Megan pitching at her first softball game! She is pretty good for her first ever playing. If anyone wants to watch her play she has a game every Saturday in Jan and Feb. Here are the times. 1/24 10am, 1/31 10am, 2/07 10am, 2/14 8am, 2/21 10am, 2/28 10am. Call me for directions
Here she is up to bat. She got a good hit and even got to score!

Here are the boys cheering on Megan! What great fans!

Random picture of dad taking the boys down to bed! They sure love their awesome daddy

Another random picture of Carson out on the swings twisting up to go round and round.

Helping Grumpy

Inside the coop

Grumpy was kind enough to spend a few days of his precious time off making us a chicken coop. We are excited to get some chickens. Thanks Grumpy!

CHRISTMAS

Cute cousins in their Christmas pj's!
Our attempt at the Nativity!

Our Christmas snow. Richard went to the mountain and brought back snow just as it started snowing in Safford. It was so fun, but cold
Big snowball

Carson was so cute with his "old lady" jacket

It pretty much says it all

Love my orange gloves and hat, thanks Brooklyn!

Megan and her ipod

Rylan with one of his trucks

We had a great christmas once the flu went through everyone. Austin was one of the last ones to get it. Christmas eve, yuck.

Carson with his hummer truck with dune buggy in haul

This is our attempt at the nativity with Megan riding the donkey!

Carson loved it as the shepherd and said "come on sheep" as he was leaving the stage! So funny

I have a few more pictures taken on my cam corder I will have to figure out how to download. My digital camera had a low battery so I only took a few. We had a great Christmas at mom's in Safford.
