Abby was invited to join the 6th grade band after Christmas. Here are some pictures from the concert. I had a good laugh at all the girls dressed to the nines in their tiny dresses and sitting like cowboys. Hazel took the bottom picture and I am not sure how the stands keep themselves from sliding off the floor.

Girl's Camping
Kenneth and the boys went on the Father and Sons campout. You know what they say "When the Cat's away, the mice play. The night before we all went our separate ways Kenneth confessed that our plans sounded like more fun and he would rather come with us. We politely told him that men were not invited. He was a little hurt. We did have a great time, and I think they had a good enough time. We also took out friend Natalie with us. She was a great addition (especially the princess cards we palyed with in the evening!)
On the way to the place we were going to camp we stopped at Roosevelt Dam to go to the bathroom and walk around a little bit.
When we first got there Abby took some pictures on the sunset.
She also took pictures of Hazel in the sunset.
In the morning before we ate breakfast and took down the tent they waded a little bit.
For breakfast we had Costco muffins, Ro-gurt, eggs and juice.
Hazel dipping her hair in the water.
Finally they got to go swimming in the lake.
There was some weird mud that Abby covered her hands with.
They brought back some mud for Natalie and I to feel.
Hazel got tired pretty quickly.
Rebekah and Sydney made a sand castle. Aren't Rebekah's toes cute?
The girls covered our feet in mud.
There was some tall grass that the girls had fun going through like it was a maze with no path to follow.
They are starting to come out with Abby in the lead making a easier path for them to follow.
Hazel takes some weird pictures sometimes. I like the Mango residue!
Little Boys in Big Bodies
The other day, Christian and Truman stayed up after the other kids went to bed. They were busy playing blocks and couldn't tear themselves away. They kept calling me in to look at their progress and then when they ran out of blocks they wanted to borrow the camera to take a picture of it before they knocked it down, because it was so incredibly awesome... This is an interesting contrast to all the talk about Marching Band, driver's permits and starting high school next year. I sometimes forget that even though they are taller than me they are still my little boys.

Faux Hostess
Christian and Truman spent the afternoon making Faux Hostess cupcakes. I thought they were delicious, and knowing that each cupcake was 400 calories helped me to limit myself to one.

In-n-Out & Up-n-Down
After the Pinewood Derby (umm, a couple weeks ago) we picked up some burgers and fries at In-N-Out burger and headed to a park that has really tall swings. We had a lovely afternoon playing in the sun. (Kenneth even pulled some weeds at the park to satisfy his need to do something productive.)
