Globetrotters

Yes, it was time to watch the Harlem Globetrotters. It was a very important event and we all were ready for some serious basketball!

Maya wasn't able to come so we brought Dexter's friend Calder. We didn't get pictures of them, but we also invited the Halsor clan for basketball fun.

You might be able to make out a Lion King scene unfolding during this very serious game.

On the floor on the way out. Good times were had.

Spongebob Paint Day (And Minnow)

Spongebob paint day. It's chaotic, but it works.

The work begins.

Adding layers of blue paint.

Covering the doorways.

Almost there.

More minnow.

Maya with her skeptical kitty.

Love.

Kender Page in Da House

You know what's a lot of fun?? Having the Kender Page come to visit our new house for the first time.

Enjoying the couch.

Then we brought everyone up toe Ski Santa Fe. Jess stayed home and wanted to make us dinner. She's weird but helpful. Maya wasn't feeling well so she stayed home too.

Maddie and Max are just learning and took a morning lesson.

Heading up the lift with with Sam who has not skied in a long time. 

Probably a bit more of a ride than Sam had in mind, we went up to the top of the mountain.

Sam is making it happen.

The whole ski crew.

At the top with everyone. It was quite the achievement.

We are getting there.

Mama and daughter.

The kids on the swing.

Saying goodbye. Sad.

Painting in the Studio

Maya's doing the musical this year. SpongeBob is the show. We need some complicated paint work for some light weight foam pieces. Craft project in the studio!!

Todd rigged up a projection system to give us a headstart with some of the basic shapes for the different pieces.

fffffffffffcapfffffffffffcapfffffffffffcapfffffffffffcapffffThen it was time for paint which was all done by hand.

A family affair!

It's getting there!

Basketball (and Minnow)

Dexter decided to try basketball this year. He has had only limited experience with the sport, but he's doing great and has his height on his side. 

Huddled up.

Dexter, on the left, has a bit of a height advantage.

The team is ready to play!

Minnow now happier to hang in the living room.
