After he had opened his presents he tried on his new jeans and just stood there looking at them exclaiming over and over, "Look at these jeans. Just look at them! Aren't they great?" Now, for most people a pair of new jeans is just an ordinary event but for Jared it has been a source of dismay over the years. He could never find a pair quite long enough in his waist size. This year a new shop opened up in Grapevine called "The Foundry" which caters to the Big and Tall. Most Big and Tall shops figure if you're tall, you're big, and old fashioned, and out of style. But not the Foundry! They had so many things that Jared liked that Kristin blew her whole month's budget on getting new clothes for Jared. He tried everything on and modeled them for us on Christmas morning. We all oohed and aaahed and clapped for more and declared that he should be a model. Just thought you would like to see a picture of Jared in his new jeans.

It was a very disappointing season given the talent level on the team.  Last night, Grapevine won their 16th game.  Their overall record is 16 and 6.  More importantly, their district record is 4 and 1.  We are hoping to make the playoffs this year, but there is plenty of basketball to be played so we aren't getting ahead of ourselves.  Jared is having a great season.  Last night's game provides a good example.  As the game was winding down, Jared took an elbow to the lip.  While he was sitting out so the trainer could deal with the blood, the opposing team scored 7 unanswered points off a press.  Jared re-entered the game in time to make two clutch, game tying free throws.  The game then went into overtime.  During the overtime, the opposing team continued the press, but Jared was back in the game.  The coach had Jared help the guards bring the ball up the court.  On multiple plays, the guards inbounded the ball to Jared, who in turn passed the ball to a streaking forward for a fast break.  Grapevine scored 14 points in overtime, most of which were initiated by a pass from Jared.  Jared scored 18 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, blocked 7 shots and dished out 4 assits.  Last night's game was indicitive of how the season has gone.  Jared is very active and get's a lot done when he is on the floor.  We are looking forward to the rest of the season, though Kristin and I are pretty stressed out!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5620098673262275572-125420274235799803?l=chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/feeds/125420274235799803/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5620098673262275572&amp;postID=125420274235799803' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/125420274235799803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/125420274235799803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/2012/01/recap-grapevine-basketball.html' title='Recap - Grapevine basketball'/><author><name>talltimber</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09682479997584898202</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620098673262275572.post-2414529420343875620</id><published>2012-01-01T12:06:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T12:09:12.174-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Dunk</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sLpnPaQisgs/TwCTEs43qEI/AAAAAAAAAPU/LgrDBVTFVb8/s1600/JL_Dunk2_fix.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 290px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692711637974755394" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sLpnPaQisgs/TwCTEs43qEI/AAAAAAAAAPU/LgrDBVTFVb8/s320/JL_Dunk2_fix.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As promised, here is a picture of Jared's dunk.

Jeff's parents were with us as well as his brother Mark and his family. We ate dishes from different countries: Poutine from Canada, Tamales from Mexico, Fish sticks (representing the seven different kinds of fish they eat in Italy), and some American salads. For our program we talked about customs in the different countries some of us had either lived in or descended from.&amp;nbsp;English Christmas Pudding was my subject.&amp;nbsp;And we finished the evening with a buche de&amp;nbsp;Noel from France.&amp;nbsp;Our version&amp;nbsp;was decorated with Legos. Here are a few pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wlPl2Mjz-UY/Tvi0cJHObUI/AAAAAAAAAQo/hePNjbJbxEM/s1600/IMG_0566.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wlPl2Mjz-UY/Tvi0cJHObUI/AAAAAAAAAQo/hePNjbJbxEM/s320/IMG_0566.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BsXI3hGdjwA/Tvi0s2AOSmI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/21yEMvbo4xQ/s1600/IMG_0564.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BsXI3hGdjwA/Tvi0s2AOSmI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/21yEMvbo4xQ/s320/IMG_0564.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tamsyn and Megyn were the Lego builders and decorators of the cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OQ69jDBOxYA/Tvi09mOBpPI/AAAAAAAAARA/MaOVBLf69Uc/s1600/IMG_0565.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OQ69jDBOxYA/Tvi09mOBpPI/AAAAAAAAARA/MaOVBLf69Uc/s320/IMG_0565.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;All of the characters represented different countries, except for the skeleton who stood in for our ancestors.

Does anyone else remember the cake with orange slices (the gum drop kind) in it? I did a bit of digging and found this recipe of Grandma's. It doesn't have the orange slices listed in the original recipe, but I think this was the cake she put them in. I made it for Mom and Dad as part of their Christmas present and asked them to tell me if it was as good as I remembered. They liked it, and so I'm passing it on to the rest of you. I've added a few directions for the icing that Grandma didn't have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: I substitued the same amount of orange slices snipped into pieces for the candied fruit.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christmas Cake&lt;br /&gt;1 8-oz pkg cream cheese&lt;br /&gt;1 cup margarine (I suppose butter could also be used)&lt;br /&gt;1-1/2 tsp vanilla&lt;br /&gt;1-1/2 tsp baking powder&lt;br /&gt;1-1/2 cups sugar&lt;br /&gt;4 eggs&lt;br /&gt;2-1/4 cups flour&lt;br /&gt;1 cup mixed candied fruit, ground (orange slices, snipped)&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup pecans, chopped&lt;br /&gt;Blend cream cheese, margarine, sugar and vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time. Sift dry ingredients and beat into creamed mixture. Add fruit and nuts and mix well. Bake in a well-greased tube or Bundt pan at 325 degrees for 1 hours. Let cool. Pipe on&amp;nbsp;icing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Icing&lt;br /&gt;2 cups powdered sugar&lt;br /&gt;2 Tbsp margarine, softened&lt;br /&gt;1-2 Tbsp cream&lt;br /&gt;1/2 tsp almond extract&lt;br /&gt;Beat together until smooth. Fill a gallon ziplock bag with icing, cut off a bit of the corner, and pipe icing over cake. Sprinkle with colored sugar, if desired.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5620098673262275572-2999162283466064972?l=chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/feeds/2999162283466064972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5620098673262275572&amp;postID=2999162283466064972' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/2999162283466064972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/2999162283466064972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/2011/12/grandmas-christmas-cake.html' title='Grandma&apos;s Christmas Cake'/><author><name>Alison</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08840224132627428703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620098673262275572.post-2156489280529355718</id><published>2011-12-15T22:59:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-15T23:01:56.614-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Kennedy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sLWD3VFYUUY/TurCq9lXATI/AAAAAAAABM4/b_uJnwEgG3c/s1600/20111125-IMG_0107-Kennedy%2B107.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686571522850226482" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sLWD3VFYUUY/TurCq9lXATI/AAAAAAAABM4/b_uJnwEgG3c/s400/20111125-IMG_0107-Kennedy%2B107.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This was taken the day Kennedy was baptized.

We just got back from the best game of the tournament. After going two wins and one loss, Grapvine played for the "Bronze Championship". The opposing team was solid and the game was hard fought. The other team had their hands full trying to contain Jared. He scored 19 points and led his team to victory. Grapevine went 3 and 1 for the tournament. Jared scored 19 points in two games and 13 points in two games. We have enjoyed sitting next to Ron and Marilee as we cheered our team on to victory.

We made about three too many pies for Thanksgiving and I think we will be eating pie all week. What a shame, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of pie, I found this &lt;a href="http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/pumpkin-pie-shakes/"&gt;pumpkin pie milkshake &lt;/a&gt;recipe on another blog. We tried it tonight with some leftover pie and it was really good--and I don't even like pumpkin pie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had Kennedy's baptism yesterday. It was such a nice service. We had two other kids from our get baptized the same day. That is a record for our ward! Anyway, the three of us moms planned the program, decorations, refreshments, etc. One of my jobs was to bring muffins. I started about two weeks before since I knew it was going to get busy. I put them in the freezer as I finished each batch. I made three different kinds: Pumpkin Apple, Banana Chocolate Chip and these Blueberry. I had the blueberry recipe for a long time but hadn't made them in a while. I remembered they were good but I didn't have any lemon extract on hand so I tried coconut and it was really good! I thought I would share if you are interested in a good blueberry muffin recipe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blueberry Muffins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 3/4 cups flour&lt;br /&gt;3/4 cup brown sugar&lt;br /&gt;3/4 cup sugar&lt;br /&gt;1 tsp baking soda&lt;br /&gt;1 tsp baking powder&lt;br /&gt;1/2 tsp salt&lt;br /&gt;12 TBS butter, melted&lt;br /&gt;3/4 cup buttermilk&lt;br /&gt;2 eggs&lt;br /&gt;1 TBS vanilla&lt;br /&gt;1 1/2 tsp lemon or coconut extract&lt;br /&gt;1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Topping&lt;br /&gt;3/4 cup oatmeal&lt;br /&gt;1/4 cup brown sugar&lt;br /&gt;1/4 cup sugar&lt;br /&gt;4 Tbs melted butter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blend flour, sugars, soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Blend together butter, buttermilk, eggs and extracts. Add to flour mixture and mix together. Add blueberries. Do not over-mix. Mix topping ingredients. Fill lined or greased muffin tins with batter and top with topping mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;*Batter can be frozen before or after being baked.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5620098673262275572-3429705486183051312?l=chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/feeds/3429705486183051312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5620098673262275572&amp;postID=3429705486183051312' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/3429705486183051312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/3429705486183051312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/2011/11/pumpkin-pie-shakes-and-blueberry.html' title='Pumpkin Pie Shakes and Blueberry Muffins'/><author><name>Christi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12676822238257093299</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620098673262275572.post-5855744693748897179</id><published>2011-11-23T12:23:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-23T12:23:07.198-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Be Loyal</title><content type='html'>We had our Young Women in Excellence event last night.

As part of the festivities, we had a father/son basketball game. Jared and I got tip-off duties. As expected, he cleanly tipped the ball to his teammate. Jared set up on the low post. He unexpectedly ran out about five paces, so I followed him. As he received a pass, I felt an immovable force on my back. Jared made his move to the basket and the screen rendered me powerless to counter. I could only watch as Jared threw down a two handed crowd pleasing, head turning power dunk. Later in the game, I countered with my scoop move. The footwork was flawless, the scoop was perfection, the ball somehow bounced harmlessly off the rim for a miss. Yes, my game has seen better days. I somewhat made up for it by making a nice mid-range "jump" shot. The varsity thought they won, but actually the dads did because there weren't any injuries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5620098673262275572-2118083222186342391?l=chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/feeds/2118083222186342391/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5620098673262275572&amp;postID=2118083222186342391' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/2118083222186342391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/2118083222186342391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/2011/11/basketball-kickoff.html' title='Basketball Kickoff'/><author><name>talltimber</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09682479997584898202</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iEIeS1t9v44/TsHFVYenJTI/AAAAAAAAAOw/qeHY5rXOTC0/s72-c/Lowes.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620098673262275572.post-6025678987285715046</id><published>2011-11-14T00:05:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T00:07:22.091-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Jan and David</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f6srfkBCNF4/TsCh9F1CckI/AAAAAAAABJ4/SV7PrAiVv9E/s1600/20111112-IMG_0017-working.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Her Dad came up with an idea to do a tribute to her and others that have passed on. They approached me about building a bench that they could put outside at their church. I had mom round up some pictures of a bench that I had built several years ago for Coleen Bradshaw and showed them the pictures. They liked the bench and I scrambled to figure out measurements and actually found a rough sketch of the one I did for Coleen. They wanted to have a cross (Not LDS) in the backrest. It is made of redwood and will be very pretty with the clear polyurethane on it. Here is what I came up with. I will take another picture with the finish and with it in place. I decided to donate my labor for this tribute.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5620098673262275572-8053408767063713299?l=chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/feeds/8053408767063713299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5620098673262275572&amp;postID=8053408767063713299' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/8053408767063713299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5620098673262275572/posts/default/8053408767063713299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chipofftheloweblock.blogspot.com/2011/11/in-memory-of.html' title='In Memory of'/><author><name>woodshopron</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17225719837826711504</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z2OnCDKxmi0/TsBbn7aAQjI/AAAAAAAAANU/auYRO3HUFHU/s72-c/DSC02408.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620098673262275572.post-5575217792333651830</id><published>2011-11-09T18:59:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T19:05:44.549-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Yellow tree</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E0HYwmWu1gk/TrsVT37yAgI/AAAAAAAABJg/eyNOIUV6M0M/s1600/20111024-IMG_0057-working.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673151586779660802" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E0HYwmWu1gk/TrsVT37yAgI/AAAAAAAABJg/eyNOIUV6M0M/s400/20111024-IMG_0057-working.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was asked by the RS to take pictures of some of the houses in our ward so they could play a game at the Christmas party called "Guess whose house this is?"

I countered with Knight in Shining Armor and Damsel in Distress. No good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then we went to the beach. Then it rained.

We had a good time but we missed our company! It was windy this time and the ocean waves were really choppy. We didn't get in the water much this time. In fact, I didn't even put my swim suit on. We did do some fun things though. This time we visited Cape Lookout Lighthouse. That is something we have never done before. Just off of Cape Lookout is where Blackbeard's ship "Queen Anne's Revenge" sunk. That is only one of some 2000 recorded shipwrecks along the outer banks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We visited the aquarium and saw a few little shows. The kids got to touch a turtle and an &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;alligator&lt;/span&gt;. My favorite thing was that I just got to relax. I read two whole books while we were there. That must be a record. I don't get time to read like that anymore. Here are a few pictures from our trip.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666664924164929538" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QczvOuZVd4Q/TqQJuaoEOAI/AAAAAAAAB1k/w3-i8kYFEFQ/s400/IMG_3482_0596.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cape Lookout Lighthouse&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666664919891096386" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Li0JfJAE4TM/TqQJuKtGs0I/AAAAAAAAB1Y/cN66U5RsW9I/s400/IMG_3418_0632.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666664909080889890" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OjDW4pUaZrU/TqQJtibwCiI/AAAAAAAAB1A/LsYO4_Zhf7o/s400/IMG_3507_0556.jpg" /&gt;You can see in this picture how the choppy waves leave kind of a ledge in the sand.

It started off as blue skies that day. We toured the area and went out to the beach. In the distance we watched as an ominous storm &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;approached&lt;/span&gt;. We hurried to the dock and Captain Jack was already on his way to pick us up. He hurried us back to &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Harker's&lt;/span&gt; Island where our van was parked.

We like this trail that is really close to our house. It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed our walk. There is a little place on this trail with a bridge and a tree that has fallen across the creek. There are exposed tree roots on the bank and our kids love to play there. It reminds me of the book "Bridge to Terabithia". It really is a magical place. Here are a few pictures but it doesn't do the place justice!&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666659432754866546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BeTJGsrhOeU/TqQEuxh4aXI/AAAAAAAAB0E/srd-5EVFbcM/s400/IMG_3364_0700.jpg" /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

So, I am going to try and make up for that. Here's a little of what we've been up to lately:&lt;br /&gt;Siennah started preschool last month. She goes 3 days a week for 3 hours. Which means 9 hours a week all to myself! Woohoo! Siennah loves school so much and she has learned a lot already. Before she started, she could sound out and read 3 and 4 letter words but she needed a lot of help when it came to writing. She can now write all her letters and she can write "Siennah" all by herself. I'm so proud of how well she's doing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r97cr2lH0U8/TqMqKLZ23NI/AAAAAAAAAgA/OhCmYL2PdXU/s1600/IMAG0139.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 191px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666419110510517458" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r97cr2lH0U8/TqMqKLZ23NI/AAAAAAAAAgA/OhCmYL2PdXU/s320/IMAG0139.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KnGchapnyPA/TqMqKoMULHI/AAAAAAAAAgI/1NS43ZvU-m8/s1600/IMAG0147.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 191px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666419118238346354" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KnGchapnyPA/TqMqKoMULHI/AAAAAAAAAgI/1NS43ZvU-m8/s320/IMAG0147.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pic on the left is her first day of preschool and the other one is her posing in her pink cowgirl boots. She loves those boots!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QiS3HudNdY4/TqMqJ3LVy0I/AAAAAAAAAf0/L-2vodSNI4Q/s1600/IMAG0169.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 191px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666419105080920898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QiS3HudNdY4/TqMqJ3LVy0I/AAAAAAAAAf0/L-2vodSNI4Q/s320/IMAG0169.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had so much fun with mom, dad, and Michael when they came up for Siennah's bday last month. We took the kids fishing at a little pond. We didn't catch anything but it was still a lot of fun. Aren't they so stinkin cute with their own little fishing poles??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-na17O0LAhoQ/TqMpPDTGR1I/AAAAAAAAAfk/8Mtf6dcgOqA/s1600/IMAG0168.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 191px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666418094722402130" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-na17O0LAhoQ/TqMpPDTGR1I/AAAAAAAAAfk/8Mtf6dcgOqA/s320/IMAG0168.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Siennah loved all her bday presents from Disney World!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F3_Myt_ZOrc/TqMpOSKs8eI/AAAAAAAAAfU/JM-cQkkVL8Y/s1600/IMAG0171.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 191px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666418081533850082" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F3_Myt_ZOrc/TqMpOSKs8eI/AAAAAAAAAfU/JM-cQkkVL8Y/s320/IMAG0171.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We surprised her with a "big girl" bike for her bday.

It was broadcast to all the stake centers in the area and our stake was invited to see her in person. It was by far the best fireside I've ever been to! She is so amazing! It was such a good experience.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think that about sums us up for now. I will try to be better at posting!
