School Science Fair Projects

This year, both Jace and Zak had to participate in the school science fair. I think both boys had a ton of fun doing their science fair projects. Jace chose to compare toothpaste and how well they clean your teeth. This was an interesting and fun experiment for him. He chose Crest, Aqua Fresh, and Colgate toothpaste. If you didnt know, COLGATE is the big winner!!!! It definately brightened up the egg better than the other two! He did not win any awards in the science fair itself, but his teacher had a little class competition and he got 100% on his science project. I am so proud of him and how hard he worked on it.



Zak worked on all of his with his mom and they did an great job. He chose to compare the difference between wearing a helmet and not. His turned out great and he had a lot of fun working on it as well.




We are so proud of all of the hard work they put into these projects and most of all, they had fun doing them.

Jaces Birthday!!!

Jace turned 11 on December 19th. I am very late with wishing him a BLOG style Happy Birthday, but better late than never. We love this little man!!! He is a tremendous help around the house and is so fun to watch play sports. He is such a competative player and is very talented. We hope Jace makes the best of his 11th year and continues to grow better in everything he does!!!

We Love You Jace!!!

Do I have too???

Well, seeing that the last time I updated anything was before Christmas, and it is now February, I will need to fill the gap I guess!!! I will have to post pictures of our Christmas later, we didnt really take too many photos but we had a blast. I think that the kids were pleased overall with the deliveries that Santa brought. Kamryn was so very pleased as usual. We had a late night on Christmas Eve as the excitement was too much to bear. Kids finally went to bed at around midnight or 1 and were up bright and early at 5!!! What The HECK!!! After opening presents, visiting Grandma Lanan and other family members, we started to wind down. Zak headed to his mom's and Jace and Brittany caught a flight on Sunday Morning to go to their dads! We love being able to share the whole Christmas eve/morning experience as a family. We are so greatful to Matt and Jaime for allowing that to happen for our kids. We know it is a great sacrifice for them but are so thankful we get to celebrate it with the whole family.

For New Years, we did the usual. We always head to Ethan and Kira's for the evening. We had a lot of fun this year, but missed some of the family. Brittany, Jace, and Lanan were not able to be there. We ate lots of good food and played games. The kids ran and ran, danced to music, and played hard. I think that our kids had just enough to last til Midnight. We packed up after the big celebration and headed home around 1am. By the time we got home, Zak, Haylee, and Kamryn were all asleep in the car and had to be awakened to walk from the car to the van. Thanks Ethan and Kira for a wonderful NEW YEARS EVE!

Hope everyone has plenty of New Years Resolutions and Goals Set! Hope you all have a Happy and Save New Year!!
