Zack

Zack is a different character every day. Often he wears multiple costumes in a day. It is rare to see him in

 normal attire. I am told that this phase is not going to last forever, so I am going to try to record it with my camera. Stay tuned!

Hayley's solo festival

Hayley participated in a solo festival for area music students today. It was for 7-12 grades, but she was asked to go as a 6th grader. She played her flute and sang. Here's some pics I took of her in between performances. Judges from WSU critiqued the performances. She got the highest score possible for her vocal, and we have yet to hear about her flute performance. Here's a link to her singing. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1499541582139&saved.

Chicken Clara

Clara raised baby chicks from eggs this last year. She did a great job! They have been great egg layers. The eggs won two grand champion ribbons at the fair.





This picture shows the two we hatched, in the incubator where we hatched them. The eggs that they now lay are pictured in the incubator. The kids set this pic up. We gave away the chickens recently. We are looking forward to hatching something else in the next month or two. We are thinking about pheasants.

New Clothes

Hayley is going to participate in a music solo competition through school on Feb. 5. She’s going to play her flute and sing Edelweiss from The Sound of Music. We decided that she needed to be a “girl in a white dress with a blue satin sash.”  Grandma Wendy helped her pick this dress online. It’s satin, so the flash made it look REALLY shiny in the pic. We’ll let you know how the competition goes.

Yesterday Zack asked Clara to make him a Robin costume. (Batman) This is what she came up with. She used 2 shirts and some fabric. Isn’t she amazing? (Zack is trying to look tough in this photo.)

I can't think of a title for this...

Christmastime

Did I really not blog about Christmas? Well, it was really nice. We’ve had lots of snow and ice.

Hayley got a cookbook and apron and has made lots of yummy treats all by herself.

Uncle Johnny came to stay for a week and we had a great time with him!
