CARDM Blacks: January 2017

Monday, January 23, 2017

A Texas snow day. The flakes were laughable, They were so tiny! There was just enough to dust the trampoline with.

Playing with Megan in the snow.

Rosca! Time for us to host a tamale party.

Boy Scouts. With Dan as Asst Scoutmaster and Alex as Patrol Leader, our house is a great place for the boys to come work.

Ryan and I went to the movies. We are very, very excited for the Lego Batman movie!

Ryan had a TKD tournament. Here are Mace with two of her classmates, Christian and Ozzy.

Here are the 3 black belts together. Datsun, Ry and Webb!

This tournament took forever with all these competitors.

Ryan made it home with 2 bronze and 1 silver this year.

Ryan earned the Grit Award for being a hard working kid at school.

This is what happens when dad is in charge of the spinner, but he isn't actually spinning. Poor Mace was totally tangled! (BTW, do you love how Lucy is lurking in almost every picture?)

Pics from the backup camera...

Another Cmas Roadtrip

Our fist day out we had intended to stop in El Paso, but we got there at 3:30 and said, 'what the heck! let's keep going!' Our first attempt at all day drive across. It was fine on the way to AZ, I don't think I could have handled on the our way home. On our way, Lucy met these cows. And was nearly licked by one!

On our actual 15th Anniversary. Yummy dinner together!

Letting the pooch get some night time exercise.

Boys doing boy things.

Christmas Eve Luke 2 reenactment.

Yes, I am the star in the east. Some one needed to be.

So, Christmas morning was very early with 9am church and a drive to Mesa afterwards. The kids got to open one gift the night before to help speed along the process in the morning.
