On Jan. 1, 2010, all the cousins were able to get together and do their gift exchange. We waited till then because that's when Carter would be here, and make the gathering complete. Getting all the cousins in this shot was a pretty large task, so getting them to all look at the camera wasn't that important. Still a fun shot though.
Just so happened that all the brothers were together on Jan. 1st, too. We're not only in order from oldest to youngest, but also shortest to tallest. And it's not fair that the other three get an elbow to block the sizes of their guts, and I don't! (I'm working on that.)
We recently signed some of the kids up in a bowling league. We decided that it would be a good social activity for them, and they seem to really like it. Here's Jennan with her two handed drop-toss roll.
Liam can hold on to the ball with the finger holes, and in this picture, it looks like he's got good technique, but if those rails weren't up, it would be a gutter ball every time. But he loves it.
Duncan is in a slightly older group, and they don't use rails. He's been struggling to figure out how to be consistent, and keep the ball in the lane, but he is getting better. They've bowled twice so far. The league goes till April sometime.
We took a trip out to Pasadena to see the floats, and visit the traveling BSA Adventure Base. Boy, was it crowded! Here we took the opportunity to get a shot with the BSA's float.
We recently went to Disneyland for an evening. Kim, Luis, and Isaac met us out there. It was good to hang out with them there. I think Duncan and Liam liked having other people to go on rides with- especially uncle Luis. I forgot to bring the boys' jackets, so we put their fleece pajama tops on underneath their shirts.
Duncan went to his first cub scout meeting this week. He was pretty excited. He said he even told friends at school he was going to scouts. Here he is in his uniform (not that great of a shot of it though), giving the cub scout sign. He had a great time.
So yeah, that's some of the fun stuff we've done in the past few weeks. A busy life is a productive life, and we're doing our best to keep it fun. So far, so good.

It has been a fun and busy time! I'm so glad you have this blog to capture it all! I LOVE that pic of you and your brothers...you and Kev are the biggest hams when it comes to taking pictures!
Ken is becoming the official historian and doing a great job at it.
This blog made me very tired. (we're looking at T-ball for Cadence)
The "un-official" historian, maybe, if anything.
The un-official ones are usually the best ones. I'm so bummin' we couldn't get out there when Carter was there!! And Keith and Mindy too of course. I think we should go bowling next time we are all together. Theres lanes in Laughlin. . . . .
