Great Wolf Santa!

Great Wolf Lodge

We got away last weekend and took the girls to the Great Wolf Lodge. The highlight was the arrival of Santa and 4 elves. They jumped out of a plane and skydove (is that a word?) to the Lodge! Mom and Emma got brave and rode The Tornado together. It was lots of fun once I got past the initial - "I'm going to puke and I'm only in line" - part!

Emma plays piano

This is Emma during the performance section of the Music Olympics. She got 99% for this portion of the competition!

Music Olympics

Emma just got 3rd place in our local Music Olympics competition!! We were so proud of her. Her friend Hannah got 1st place for her age group and Hannah's sister Chloe also placed (can't remember which - but it was good)!

Anchor Celebrates One Year!

Wow - it's already been one year. So hard to believe. God has blessed us with an amazing staff and an exciting first year. It's a lot of hard work, but we would easily do it all over again.

Freaky guy, peaceful gal, Hannah Montana and Dora!

Halloween party #2!

Every year we go to our friend's church (Believer's Fellowship) for Halloween. They do an amazing party. Every room is filled with different activities and the kids have a blast. Here is Emma with her fellow third-grader (and best friend) Lauren. The doctor meets Hannah Montana. Next is me with Lauren's mom (also a Stacy - highly confusing). And below is Emma with her friend Leah. Oh yeah - and then Ross decided to sport another outfit. I have no idea what he is supposed to be.

What other time of year can you find a Mormon missionary at a party with an inmate, Madonna, numerous Princesses and a baby riding on his grandmother's back?
