Christmas Morning

Mason's marshmallow bow and arrow. Oops, that was messy.
Stylin' in Fox gear. This was a big hit this year.
Cody's Fox hat and Tony Hawk Ride. (Not all that is was cracked up to be.)
Sydney got a slew of Princesses. It's now February and they are still keeping her occupied.

This was our first Christmas at our new house. The front room worked perfectly for the tree and opening presents. This was a great Christmas

Kephart Holidays

Pic of the Kephart kids at Christmas and Thanksgiving. It's not often that the Kephart cousins are together for holidays. The bottom one is Thanksgiving and the top two are Christmas. Another girl cousin was born last week and two more are expected this summer. So much fun!!

Cody's 10th Birthday

For Cody's 10th birthday, he had a "campout". We set up our large tent in the backyard, handed out flashlights and glow sticks, and built a campfire. The boys watched a movie in the tent, ate lots of candy, then crashed. We had a big breakfast and sent them all home. It sounds like a crazy night, but it was a lot of fun and I'm sure Cody will never forget that birthday.

California Adventure

On Saturday, we went to California Adventure. We hadn't been there for 6 years. The kids had so much fun. Again, Sydney was tall enough for most everything. Brandon and the boys had been trying ALL day to get me on Hollywood Tower of Terror, but I didn't want to go. Then at the end of the day, they pretty much forced me to go. Even Sydney was excited to go on it . Never again!!! I hated it. We took a picture of the picture they take on the ride. I look terrified.

The parade at CA was great. It was Pixar characters that squirted water at everyone. It was definately one of the best parades I've seen there.

Disneyland/Halloween

This year we skipped Halloween. No costumes, no trick or treating, no candy. We spent Nevada Day at Disneyland and Halloween at California Adventure. We had tons of fun with Grandma and Grandpa Cecil and Todd and Heidi's family.

I can't believe that Sydney was tall enough for most of the rides. I actually thought we might get away without a stroller because the kids are all getting older, but even Mason needed the stroller for a while. I wish I could have ridden in the stroller. Here's a slide show of Disneyland.

Staff Development Day

Why are there so many staff development days? It seems like there is one every month. In October, I felt like being a nice mom and took the kids out to Boulder City. I'd heard there was a pond with ducks and fish, and also a skate/BMX park. We'd never been out there and it was fun. Sydney had fun tossing bread to the birds and ducks and Cody was the bravest at the skate park. Somehow I missed Mason, I didn't get any pictures of him. Sorry, bud.

Catchin' Up - Mason's Baptism

Mason was baptized on September 19th. He still had his cast on. Dallin was worried that he wasn't ALL in white, with a blue cast. I think Heavenly Father understands.

We're so proud of Mason. He is such a good kid.

Today, November 3rd, Mason finally got his cast off. He had to have it on for 8 weeks. He was such a trooper. He never complained once.

This is his black cast that mom and dad decorated for Halloween. Bye, bye stinky cast!!!!!
