Foxy Visitor

We have lived in Cascade for over 5 years now and we see foxes all the time. They are always crossing the street or running across the grass at the church. Jack got about 3 feet away from one once. He was trying to feed it jelly beans. We have also seen baby foxes in a culvert by our house, but this is the first time I have got a picture of one. It was running through our yard and I just happened to have the camera out and got it just in time.

Winter Carnival

We made our annual trip to the McCall winter carnival. It was a beautiful day and the kids enjoyed all of the ice sculptures.
This was my favorite sculpture. I guess I still have a thing for frogs even though I already kissed mine and he turned into a prince.

Skating Family Home Evening

We had a fun Family Home Evening ice skating activity at a pond in town. We had pizza, hot chocolate, skating, sledding, a warm fire and a lot of laughs
Will would not put his pizza down so he could go sledding.
The pizza was great.

Jack Playing Basketball

Jack played basketball again this year. He loves it and improved his playing over last year. He was a lot more aggressive and a lot better at handling the ball. He average 6 points a game and had a great time. This video has some high lights of his game against New Meadows. He is the kid in the cream colored shorts. The highlights are of his 3 baskets he made in that game and two great assists. Also a little example of his ball handling. I got rid of the voice on the video because I am a loud fan/parent and it makes Jack upset that I kept telling him to hustle and move his feet.

Jack as Walt Disney

Jack's class did a living wax museum. They had to read a biography about someone and then be that person in the wax museum. Jack choose Walt Disney. He did a great job and his teacher complimented his acting abilities.

Jack singing the National Anthem

The 4th and 5th graders at Jack's School got to sing the National Anthem at several Basketball games in February.

Will Singing Wheels on the Bus

Will learned to sing Wheels on the Bus in Nursery. He does the actions better without the balloon but would not put the balloon down for several days.
