Scripture Power

One of my goals this year is to be more consistent with the kids and scripture study. So in order to help me with this I made a scripture chart for the kids to put a star on everynight we read. Then after every 25 days of reading we celebrate by doing something fun as a family.

 So last week we reached out first 25 mark and decided to go to Incredible Pizza together and the kids had a fun time playing games.

 

 

 

 

 Craig took Austin and they had a fun time playing Laser Tag together.

The kids also had a fun time watching Jet & Jim 3D adventure together.

It was a fun night and a great way to start off our scripture reading chart.

Geocaching 101

Being in the Scouting Program, Craig recently discovered how much fun Geocaching can be and has gotten the kids equally excited about it. Although to them it is known as "Treasure Hunting."

 

Basically, you pick a geocach that you want to find and get the coordinates. Then using a GPS device of some kind go search until you find it.

 Once you find it, you write your name in the log book and then you can take a trinket that was placed inside and replace it with one of yours.

 This one was called "On A Rail On A Road"

 Grandpa Dave even went out with Austin and Craig so see what this whole thing was about and they had a good time.....found 5 different "treasures."

 Several times Craig has taken Austin out to go treasure hunting....just the two of them. They equally share the same excitement and enthusiasm and it is fun listening to Austin as he explains where and what they found. Such great Father/Son time.

The best thing about this whole thing.....it gets the kids outside, it is fun and it is free!!

Thank-you Craig for being a fun dad!

February Door of Fame

 Some of Kayla's numbers, letters, and a picture of something--although I am not sure what it was.

 Austin made several cards like these being Valentines month and all.

 On the inside of this card was the following....

It's nice to know that my son appreciates me cooking dinner....even if most of the time it is stuff like tacos, spaghetti, pizza, or mac & cheese.

One More Snow Day

 For the third week in a row we got another sprinkling of snow. This time we went over to Sooner Park to do some sledding down the hill.

 Austin and his friend Braxton went down the hill a few times together.

 Kayla had a fun time going down with her cousin Kambria.

 Connor and Braxton racing down the snowy hill.

 The boys even found enough snow to build a couple snowmen.

So glad we got a little bit of snow this year for the kids to enjoy!
