Christmas Morning

Kirsten's Preschool Party

Kirsten with her preschool class at their Christmas party.

Camping Out........

Since the kids were on Christmas break and didn't have to get up for school we let them build a fort and sleep in the living room.

Emma got up around 4:00am and woke up Marin and Kirsten, but everyone quickly went back to sleep.


Marin got hurt, but toughed it out and stayed in the fort all night.

Preston decided after about an hour that he wasn't going to get any sleep with Kirsten bugging him so he ended up sleeping in his room.

Gingerbread Cookies

These were my favorite..........

Mondel was helping decorate cookies and being the big BYU fan that he is, these are the cookies he made. Notice that they resemble BYU fans with writing on there chest,

and open mouths cheering on the team.

School Christmas Program

Marin & Saylor
Marin's class sang Christmas carols

Preston's class played recorders

I actually get a chance every once and awhile to sit down at the piano. This time I had some helpers and Mondel thought it was a cute picture.

Robotics Tournament - 2008

Cybercats - Red Bank Elementary

December 13,2008

What is Robotics?

The kids program a robot to run a specific course or "mission". Everyone starts out with the same table to setup their "mission" on. All the items on the course that are part of the "mission" are made of legos. They recieve points for the different tasks the robot accomplishes. They have 2 1/2 minutes to try to get as many points as they can by running their "mission."

This years theme was "Climate Connections"

What a Cutie!

Out of the Mouth of a Four Year Old.......

Mondel: Okay girls, lets get in bed.
Kirsten: Look, I combed my hair.
Mondel: Oh, It looks nice. What a good job sweetie.
Kirsten: I combed it with my brush.........with my tooth brush.
Mondel: Well, next time you go to brush your teeth it will taste like hair.
