Gold mine tour near Kellogg, ID.

Definitely not...

(Read the helmet)

Zane shoots... The .22

Zane shoots... The BB gun.

First day of spring break

The kids played with cousins Ransom and Theo most of the day outside.

Gunnar scores!

More Gunnar hoops...

Thunder basketball team after our last game.

Well done boys!

Gunnar scored a bunch of points and played good defense.

Asked Abby to send me a nice pic of herself... This is what I got.

After school school

As soon as Signe got home she set up a classroom in the living room, and made Zane and Karsten sit down for some schoolin'. Luckily the boys also enjoyed it, because she didn't give them much choice in the matter. Karsten wants to hang his "schoolwork" up by his bed.
Do we have a 4th generation teacher in the making?

Skate or die, yo.

Oops, wrong type of skating.

At the University if Idaho vs. Montana State basketball game.

Got to see my long lost cousin 'Dew in Orlando!

Sleepers on a Sunday.

The wife of Robert E. Lee

This afternoon Signe's class dressed up for Civil War day, and this was the best outfit we could put together from her dress-up box. She also had to write a letter pretending she was Mary, the wife of the Confederate general.

Karsten's off to a good start in life...

He's perusing the jewelry with a huge wad of bills in his hand so he can buy something "for his wife".

Saturday market

While Nick is out cutting wood (bless him!) and I'm painting downstairs the kids decided to set up a market in the living room. Which is great. Mostly. However, I confess to not looking forward to organizing the return of the piles of books, movies, stuffed animals, play jewelry, plastic food, weapons, costumes, and whatever else they dragged out of their bedrooms. Oh well. Creativity is a wonderful thing, even if it gets a bit messy!

Pucker up.

Pic with Santa

So I finally went online and got a digital copy of the picture that the kids took with Santa at the Woodburn outlet mall. Those are some cheesy grins on some super cute kids!
