More Lander Fun

Pamela was at our house this weekend, and brought her camera with her.  I downloaded her pictures from Christmas break on my computer & so some of these pictures are similar to ones from other posts.
 Watching a movie at Grandma & Grandpa's.
 Playing basketball at the church
 Alyssa, Brienna, Kailey, Emmalee, Rusty, Benjamin, Callum, Michelle, Zane & Grandma (standing).
 Sister power!
One after noon, we all ate at Taco John's (yum, yum) &then Rusty, Zane, Emmalee & Benjamin walked up to the Fish & Game office (about a mile).
 The kids love to fill out the Look & Find paper each time we visit.
 Benjamin was so excited to find all the animals on his paper--he was a blur most of the day!
 Nice smile, Zane!
 "I found it!"

Lander--Part 3

Brienna tried on my wedding dress.  She looks beautiful!  But I was definitely build differently than she is.  She has a bigger rib-cage than I did 20 years ago.
One of Laurie's presents.
 Callum wearing the hat that Aunt Sherrie knitted.  She knitted hats for all of the kids. 
 Brienna's--it matches her shirt!
Zane & Brienna 
 Silly kiddos
 A beautiful afghan Sherrie knitted for Pamela.
 Rusty's hat--they will keep everyone's head nice & warm!
Emmalee is holding the elephant Sherrie made for me.  We couldn't get Benjamin to put his hat on for this family picture. 
 Me holding the elephant Sherrie knitted for me!  It is awesome!
 Our family friend, Tanny & Ben & Brienna showing off their hats.
 Nice
 Tanny & Orley Pitt visiting with us.

I gave Emmalee, Brienna & myself a hair cut. 
What a cutie!

More Fun in Lander (Part 2)

We all went to the church to play some ball (and get some energy out!)
 Brienna pulled her hair up into an awesome pony tail.
 Alyssa & Brienna
 Callum
 Aunt Pamela joining in with pass the ball.
 Benjamin following the girls (Emmalee & Kailey) as they played follow the leader on the lines.
 Daddy holding Benjamin up high so he could get closer to the basket.
 Nice shot, Ben!
 Benjamin & Mom playing "roll-the-ball"
 Kailey all ready to play in the snow.
 Don't you lover her "homemade" boots? Since she didn't have any boots, we put a couple of pair of socks over her shoes & pant legs so she could play in the snow without getting too wet.
 Zane building a fort--preparing for a snowball fight.
 Benjamin isn't waiting for the fort to be finished--here he comes with some snow! (Alyssa is making a snowball too)
 Wow--up to Emmalee's knees.
 Callum behind one of the forts.
 Benjamin with a chunk of snow almost as big as he is--and he is looking for a target.

And the target is-----Aunt Pamela!
"I think there's a big enough chunk for another good throw at her!"
The girls made an adorable snow princess, but I can't find any pictures on my camera--maybe Pamela has one on hers?
