Brennen's Roller Coaster

Winter returns (I just love the icicles hanging off the monkey bars) and with it some very bad attitude in the kids. I think that the evils winds blew through the house and turned the boys into little demons. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a much better day. They did manage to put aside their differences when Skylar came home from school. They also managed to find a new form of entertainment for Brennen!

I just love my brothers and sister!

Back to Reality

While I tried to get some order restored (post vacation chaos-you know how it is), I let the kids have a little fun with the Wii.



Skylar does not like to lose...

Scottsdale, AZ-Monday

The business meetings were today, so Skylar got some homework done and James did a little golfing.

Scottsdale, AZ-Sunday

Spent some time with Matt and Katie.

Then while the Dean's were working (ie. golfing), the Benbow's came up to visit.



At night, we went to a very nice Japanese resturant. We all agreed it was the best Japanese that we have all had!

Scottsdale, AZ-Saturday

We spent the morning just enjoying the sun outside our villa.





Then we went for a walk-about to explore the grounds...


And we found the swimming pools!

Scottsdale, AZ-Friday

We had a late night flight on Friday night to Scottsdale Arizona. We were looking forward to a lot of sun filled days. Jt had to watch a non-sleeping Skylar and Kellen who were both full of energy. I got lucky and got to watch the two sleepers.

Bullies and Stars

While I was doing laundry, the boys were playing nearby. Kellen was being quite the bully and taking all of the toys. I think Brennen's expressions are so funny!

I can't believe he took my toy!

If he takes my toy again, I will be so pissed!

No, No, NOOOOOO!!


James had his testing in gymnastics yesterday. He got gold stars for the moves that he mastered, so here he is putting them on the chart!
