Family Pictures 2010
407 pictures later, we ended up with 10 new pictures hanging on our wall! Whew!
There were, obviously, many many more pictures than just these two, but Christmas cards and the Christmas blog entry are coming...wait for it!
Oh ok, fine - here are 2 more, but that's IT!

Jim Henson
One of our elementary schools has a Halloween tradition that is kind of fun. The 5th graders (oldest students in this school) choose someone famous, who is dead, and create a "Boo-ography" that they present on the Friday before Halloween.
Jared chose to become Jim Henson. He had to study out facts about Jim's life, then we helped him create a 2 min oral presentation that he was required to memorize and share several times on Boo-ography day. We also helped him create a display containing a timeline of events of Jim Henson's life work. It really was fun (ok, not so much while we were doing the work, but Boo-ography day was GREAT!). We are huge Muppets fans at our house - thanks Jared for choosing such a fun person and doing such a wonderful job!!

The Princess and the Pea
Jared tried out for the Missoula Children's Theater production of The Princess and the Pea this year. He was very low key with us about the part he got, down playing just how involved it really was. We were so surprised, and proud of Jared when we watched the performance and realized he was the Storm King - which was one of the bigger parts. He did a great job with his lines. He was loud enough for us to hear. He just did GREAT!!! Way to go Jared!

The rest of 40
Ok, here is the picture of the 40+ roses I got for my birthday! Beautiful, huh!
I had one of the kiddos take the picture of the roses/me - with my super-dee-duper birthday gift...
There was for sure a learning curve with the new camera on this phone - but I think I have the hang of it now - this is the first official picture I took with my birthday present!
