Cub Scouts

My calling in the church is cub scouts.  I have a great group of boys.  It is fun being Blakes' leader with all his friends.

Sadie's baby

Today when we went on our bike ride Sadie wanted to bring her baby with her.  She looked so cute with her doll on her bike and then played with her baby at the park.

Clippers Game

 Our friends gave us Clipper basketball tickets that they couldn't use.  Out in front of Staples Center ESPN broadcasts live before games.  Blake says, "Look it is Don Mattingly!"  He is the Dodgers manager.  Blake was so excited he took several pictures of him during his interview.

 Right after the interview I told Blake to ask if he would take a picture with him.  Blake who is so shy, just says hi.  Don says something to Blake and others jump in to take pictures with him.  Blake looked frustrated, so as Don starts walking away we say, hey Don one more picture.  Blake got his picture with the Dodgers Manger!  Along with his friends Jax and Kennedy.  

 We loved the game!  We laughed because our seats were at the very top and the last row!  Blake loved cheering for Blake Griffen!

 Blake with Jax and Kennedy.  Just so you don't think we never take Logan anywhere.  He was going to go, but when we dropped Sadie off at Grandma and Grandpas house he didn't want to attend the game.  He wanted to stay with grandma!  We tried to convince him, but no luck.  So Grandpa came with us to the game.

Primary

All my kids are now in Primary!  Sadie moved up and is now a Sunbeam!

Bike Rides

 We have been enjoying the nice weather.  Sadie has been loving he bike.  We have been going on bike rides and taking the dogs for walks everyday to the park.

Cousin Brock stayed the night and joined us for our ride.

Roller Skating

 My friend Emma Wood was in town visiting, so we got together and took our older children roller skating.  As a kid I loved going roller skating and was excited to take my boys. 

 Cosette, Blake and Logan.

 I love Logan's toothless smile!

 So roller skating wasn't that fun or exciting for my boys.  They could not roller skate.  I thought it was funny watching them skate.  Logan finally would just roll from the counter to the bench.

Poor Blake couldn't stay up, he did try for a while but after falling so much they were ready to go.  I enjoyed myself, it brought back so many memories and had fun introducing my boys to something new. It was also fun spending time with Emma and her children.

Christams

 Let me first start by saying that I forgot to charge my camera battery the night before and of course I go to turn it on and it was completely dead!  So we don't have many pictures of Christmas and none of them are good.  Blake checking out what he got.  He wanted a clock for his room.

 Logan never asks for anything and is so happy with whatever he gets.  He got a jackpot "as he likes to say" of nerf guns.

 Blake thought it would be cool to wear a t-shirt he wore when he was three!

 Happy Logan!

 I am so sad that I didn't have my camera and this was the results of Blake's reaction to getting is ipod touch.  After opening all his gifts Blake put on a happy face and acted happy, but we knew he really wanted an ipod.  He had his clock for an ipod and itunes gift card, but no ipod.  We suggested that he look under every tree in the house.  He went to his room and under his Christmas tree was a bag with his name on it.  The yelling and excitement began.

 Sadie loved her new bike.

 Yes, Sadie is in a pull up outside riding her bike.  This is nothing new to our neighborhood as we can not keep clothes on this girl.  Logan wanted to join his sister riding his bike.

We had a very relaxing Christmas morning.  In the evening we went to Grandma Rauch's house and spent it with the Rauch Family.
