Motorcycling with Mathis'

     We met the Mathis' out by Bloomington caves and went motorcycling.  The boys were very excited.

 No one could get this little motorcycle started and so Kyle was waiting for Greg to get there.  I love Kyle's body language.  

 Kade

 This was Isaac's second time riding and so Jessica and Porter ran with him a couple laps till he was comfortable doing it alone.  

 He got it real quick. 

 Then they took turns with it.  Thanks Isaac and Kyle for sharing with Porter.

 Kade took Porter for a ride.

 Greg arrived in Bryce's razor.  So Jess took me for a ride. Greg allready took me and I must say Jessica is a much better driver.  Thanks Greg.  

 This hill called to them the whole day.  Finally Kade got the courage and went up it.  Logan followed.  Then that was their favorite.  It's fun to watch them get comfortable with themselves and trust themselves. 

Mason and Josh spent alot of time down by the airport.  There was a couple hills that you could loop up on and then over to the other one.  They had fun. 

I am so glad that we have cousins that will share their fun they have with us. 

Thanksgiving get away

      We had the chance to go to St. George for Thanksgiving break.  We visited with the Fox cousins first.

 The stairs is the most favorite place to play.

 The big boys playing with Legos

 Sheen gave each of the kids Hex Bugs for Halloween and so the made Sasha(Porter's bug), 

The kids were climbing the tree.  Kade got up there by par coring  then challenged Matt to do it.  Matt tried.   He tried for like 10 minutes. 

 Kyron and Porter had a good time just watching.  The rest of us where dying from laughter.  

 He was laughing so hard he couldn't do it.  

 Good tries Matt.

 Another Hex bug habitat

Mason and Grandma Fox are perfecting their piece.  They are awesome.     

 Now for Annie-I-Over.   

Annie I over

 Here they come, Run!

Time to go to Grandma and Grandpa Keith's.  

As tradition goes each of the kids get to decorate Gingerbread houses.  

 Aunt Susan and Uncle Steve were with us this year.  It was fun to visit with them.  The kids loved playing hid and seek with her.  

 Santa was buried under that big pile of snow.  I asked him how he was going to get presents now and he just giggled.  I don't think he thought out his plan very well.  

 Solomon's creation

 Maggie and Isaac are helping Aunt Jessica play a game on her tablet.  

 Porter and Kyle playing the Nintendo

 Aren't these boys getting so big.  They are not kids anymore.  

 This year there was no need to go to the stores to do Black Friday shopping.  These two were shopping from their Ipads.

 Mason was quizing Logan down about computer stuff, probobly Mine Craft.  

 Greg and Isaac

   We sure have a lot of fun with all of our family.  

Helping and Learning

We went to Ben's shop to help him.  I helped and the kids made a rip stick track.  Kade taught Porter how to do it.  That made Porter's day.  Kade was patient with him and even let him ride his since Porter didn't have one yet.  I love my boys.

Hiking the Mesa

   Mason took me hiking up on the Mesa next to their school. The kids ride their bikes here.  During PE they run on these paths.  He had just ran a two mile run and came in second place and wanted to show me the route they took.  It was fun hiking with him.  

 There are paths like this all over the side of the hill.  

 Now at the top we can see the majority of the Las Vegas, Henderson valleys.  This is looking south-east toward Boulder. Our neighborhood is to the right out of the picture.
