Pictures for Grandma

Oh Gma Burns.  We are so so sorry that we have neglected to put more pics of the kids on here.  Here are a few to keep you for a bit.  I am such a slacker.  SHH don't tell anyone.

Zach in the bushes when we went blackberry picking.

We made mini carmel apples. They were so much easier to eat.  We did big ones too.  Mayah isn't feeling well here.  You can see it in her eyes.  Poor girl.

 They kids got real sticks to put in the apples.

 Ethan...his baptism invite pic.  This was a split second decision.  He wanted to invite people from school.

 Zach and his phone on his b-day.

 My beautiful girls.

This was FUNNY.  Don was helping Caleb with his homework.  I went in to check to see how far Caleb had gotten.  Well, apparently...not very far.

 Caleb making homemade apple cider.  He loves to experiment.

 I asked each kid to think of something they could do for someone else during Christmas.  Caleb carved out a letter of someones last name ALL BY HIMSELF and then gave some cookies.  He left it at their door and ran.

 Ethan wanted to paint his teacher a homemade clay ornament.  He gave her two.  She loved them.

 Rachel also wanted to paint ornaments for her teacher.  But her and Mayah also went across the street to the neighbor and sang a Christmas carol and gave them cookies.

 Rachel doing a homemade christmas card

 Zach wrote a very kind thank you to someone that is important to him.  Also gave her an ornament.  She brought a plate of cookies and gave Zach a card telling him that it was the best gift he received.  It was to the older lady in our ward who he has been helping.

 Here is Zach's cookies, ornament and letter.
