Serve Day @ SE 2010

Free Car Wash...Buy NONE get One FREE!
Kid's soccer clinic
Lovely ladies holding babies near the craft station
Paige, Kirra and Jenna
At least once a year we are The Well cancel all church services and go out into the communities we are connected to Susan B, Easterby and Powers/Ginsburg and do all sorts of things. From repainting curb numbers, kids activities, mowing lawns, making repairs on peoples houses, beautifying schools...it's a blast to serve alongside new and old friends!

Hallmark Field Trip-Fresno State

This is the Fresno State Farm tour with out school.
This is no longer used for grain storage but it remains as a cool old structure.

The kids got to get down inside
A lot of walking. I love how Kirra is pulling Jenna along with the group. Ohhh sisters :)

Easter 2010

I don't "make" the kids wear certain clothes, or matching clothes, or clothes that I think are cute that often...which gives me the upper hand when I do want them to. Like, Easter. I said, "It's my day to choose and you will have a good attitude." Turned out pretty well :)
Cutie Patooties!

It's been a while...

Jenna has gone from this to drawing people in the last few months. It's amazing to see them develop. What a joy it is to raise these kiddos.
Kirra is "detail girl". She notices all of the details in life...mostly about how people look and feel. Since she could talk she would point out the check-out girl's earings or lip stick color...and now she draws it.

First day of putting the play structure together...the ice cream truck came by at just the right time.

Movie Night

We made the kids a fort in the living room and they watched a movie til the fell asleep.

Fun Fun!

Much better way to celebrate Super Bowl Sunday...Disney on Ice with Nonna and Nonno

Pinewood Derby 2010

These are in reverse order from how they happened but it won't let me change it. So here goes... Cohl with Grandpa O'Hare (former cub scout) after his race.
This is all of the Tiger Cubs that entered. Tigers are 1st grade.
This is the digital screen they had up for the electronic track. You can see Cohl in the 1st place spot. For most of his races we did not know that his name was showing up on this screen, we were standing too far back. I was wondering how everyone (we knew no one there since we are new to scouting) knew cohl was winning most of the races.
This is Cohl receiving his 1st place trophy for the Tiger Cub races. After each grade raced the 1st and 2nd guys stayed for a race off out of all of the grades. Cohl gt 3rd place overall...pretty cool.
This is Cohl and the other Tiger cubs waiting at the end of the track for their race. See the zeros on the end of the track? They show the place when the nose of the car passes, then the results shoot onto the screen. Each car races each lane twice.

Overall a fun experience! Not bad for Cohl's first Pinewood car. He designed it, David cut it out, Cohl sanded it and painted it.
