ROTC, Toe painting, Valentines

Carter looks sharp in his JR ROTC uniform. Carter is the flight commander of Echo Flight. He is learning some great leadership skills.

Bethany is always full of clever ideas.  Here she is trying out toe painting...

Her Kermit makes me smile!

Scott gave me these lovely flower on Valentines Day. I think these are probably the most beautiful flowers I've ever been given!

Mary Poppins, Beets and Pumpkins

Bethany with her friend Hunter Murdock after "Mary Poppins the Musical". Bethany was in park scene and a chimney sweep. She loved every minute!

Scott grew beets this summer.  He canned them this fall using his Aunt Mary's pickled beets recipe.  I was super impressed because I can't imagine canning for fun...  

 Aren't they pretty?  They taste really good too.

Carter, Ryan and Bethany enjoyed carving and decorating pumpkins in October.
