Conference in Scottsdale

Marc had a five-day conference in Scottsdale AZ last week. We took the 4 little girls with us and left the highschool kids at home. It was lots of fun. My favorite was all the bunnies in the courtyard.

Eric's Birthday

We surprised Eric this morning at Seminary. We had donuts, muffins and orange juice. It was lots of fun. We should have made hot chocolate though. It was 34 degrees, too cold for us Californians. When we got home from Seminary, we had news from BYU that Eric got in. We'll have a birthday dinner on Sunday with Gma and Gpa Davis and Jim and Chanda and kids. Today is the last day of finals at the Highschool, so Eric, Rachel and Marly are all relieved, but now the serious practices begin for MUSIC MAN. They'll be practicing every day except Sundays until opening night on Feb 6.

New Year's Eve

Kids going to the New Year's Eve Dance with Kyle Batson, Chance Tobar, and Brittan Gardner


Younger Girls got to have their own party at home with the Cabrera girls, Jessica Seiley and Emma McBride.

Marc got to chaprone the dance, Karen got to stay home with the girls (I'm not sure who got the better deal on that one)

2nd try: Christmas at the cabin

Thanks everyone for joining us up at the cabin! We had a great time playing in the snow, playing games, snowmobiling, sledding, playing pool and eating A LOT of good food!
