Basketball game!!

Cameron decided to switch it up and play basketball on one of his school's team. Ophir has a 5th grade team, a 6th grade team, and a 5th/6th team!! Cameron plays on the 5th/6th team!! Here are some pictures from his first game. The scored was 29-14. We lost, but for only having 1 practice together, I think they did pretty well. 20 of those points were scored in the first half, to our 4 points. Not too bad!

He's #8 today!!

New Years 2012

We had a pretty low-key New Year's. We stayed home and had chocolate fondue!! We played some Wii and watched movies. Kayleigh's friend, Loran, came over!! We had a pretty good time, although Chris was in bed by about 9pm!!

YUMMMM!!! Chocolate!

Kayleigh enjoying her fondue!!

Cameron and Ashlan didn't eat too much chocolate, but the did enjoy the pound cake!!

Dancing fools!!

Sparkling apple cider!!!

Ashlan almost didn't make it!! This was at about 11:55pm!

Christmas Table

So, I did it again!!! I decorated my table for Christmas!! I have to say it looked better than Thanksgiving!! What do you think?

Glass jars held silver ribbon, ornaments, and candy canes. 

A silver tinsel garland  and red ribbon went down in the center of the table. A white tablecloth set off my red  place mats on which sat silver chargers, cute paper plates, red napkins with a napkin ring around it!

Red bows were tied around each glass jar.

Candles were placed on a wine glass that was upsidedown!

Band Concert

Cameron had his first band concert!!! The concert itself was video taped, so when I figure out how to get them off my camera, I'll get them up here!!

Playing his trumpet (coronet).

Goats

So when I went through my camera, I found almost 200 pictures of Kayleigh, Ashlan, and the goats. I think they went a little overboard!! Here are a couple I thought were cute!!

Azure Blue thinks she's a lapdog...I mean Lapgoat!!

Thanksgiving Table

So at the beginning of the month, our RS activity was given by the 1st counselor in RS. She is an Interior Designer. She had set up a table and chairs in the cultural hall. She had it all decked out in decorations. She then changed the decorations 4 times to give us some ideas for decorating our tables for the holidays with things that we either have, or that are really inexpensive. The idea is to make the holiday feel special, not just like any other day. So, I decided that I was going to try this. Make Thanksgiving dinner at least look special, since it was just the 5 of us for dinner. ;( Here's my 1st attempt. Total cost: $8

Tall vases-$1 each, Green plates-$1/4, pumpkins and gourds-$.50 each
Had: lemons, candles,ribbon, wine glasses

I took wine glasses, turned them upside down, put lemons in the bottom, and a candle on the top.

I took ribbon and just wound it around the vases, plates, and glasses.
Colors: Rose, Yellow, Olive, and Orange

Not too bad for my 1st attempt. I forgot to get a picture with all of us sitting there!

Fun Pictures

Kayleigh found this cute hat at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago. Cameron was being weird and put some fun 80's glasses on with it. I LOVED it, although Cameron thought I was making fun of him. Poor guy couldn't stop crying, even after he realized we weren't teasing him. So, here we all are!! Even the dogs got wrangled into it!!

Ashlan

Cameron, tears and all.

Chris. Scary, right?
