Chicken Coop (for Chelsey and Staci)

Bryson comes for Marie's Birthday

Yes, Marie got some chicks for her birthday.  I tried to convince her to name the Rhoad Island Red Providence, but instead she chose the name Rosie (the other is Daisy).  They'll be full-grown in August and everyone is invited for pot pie.

Marie Captures Friday Night at the Thornbrues'

Sitting by the fire playing games.  That's pretty much how we spend our weekends. 

Hello, James.

Graces doesn't feel good because she has a cold.  Oh bother. 

Seth Goes to the Temple

 Sorry, ladies, he's unavailable for the next two years...

Denver Children's Museum

Ben waiting to pop the gigantic bubble.

The vet's office.

A quiet moment with Uncle Jarom

Creating paper rockets.

The paper rocket launching pad.  The kids tried to aim for the hoops.

Launching the paper rockets.  Apparently Ben is going to be an aeronautical engineer because his went the furthest.

You'll notice all the supplies Ben brought over to his station...

Grace thought these tap shoes were the greatest thing that ever happened to her.

Iron Rod

This was an assignment from the bishop to go along with a family scripture reading goal for the new year. James was asked to draw a picture of what the scriptures mean to him.  (I tried to convince James to do my portrait and quote 1Nephi 16:8.  No dice.)  From left to right: Tessa, Grace, Marie, Allie, James, and Ben.

More of Christmas

I think Ben got his holidays mixed up.
