March 2012

This month was filled with all the activities that the kids had to do.

Elizabeth and her class performed their opera 'Aliens in the Jungle'.

Dorothy was the accompanist and had been practicing with them for about a month.

Then Geoffrey participated in a Pinewood Derby...receiving recognition for the best 'piggy bank'

...this was due to the amount of coinage he had to add to his car.

Then in order to finish up his requirements for cub scouts...he had to cook a meal outdoors.

Todd helped him cook dutch oven potatoes and steaks on the grill.

We ended the evening with S'mores...Yummy.

It ended up being a fun St. Patrick's Day activity.

The month ended rather unexpectedly...Tabea joined the family early.

February 2012

 The month started out with Austin celebrating his birthday...hard to believe he is 11 years old.

 He was able to have a pirate themed birthday party with his friends and classmates.

 At the party there was a tower building contest...the structures were very innovative.

To end the month...there was the cub scout Blue and Gold Banquet.

Both boys received a few badges.

 Austin received his Webelos and Arrow of Light.  He was also welcomed into

the 11 year old scout program.

We topped off the month with celebrating Dad's 76th birthday.

January 2012

The new year started out with a sight out our front window.

We helped our friend Camree celebrate her second birthday.

It was fun to make her cake and decorate it.

This was also the month that was spent helping Austin finish up his science project

and getting it ready to display.
