For those who missed out

For those who missed out on the awesome-ness of our movie (from the amazing race), here it is for your viewing pleasure!

Brian & Barbara in Hong Kong

Hello from China, Our first stop was Hong Kong.  It is a huge city with a beautiful skyline.  We also went to the China cultural center, similar to the Hawaiian cultural center.

Love the Suits!!

 Thanks grandma and grandpa for the Easter swim wear.  You guys are THE BEST!

In case you can't tell, Cassi is holding up baby Alta's suit to show you how good it's going to look on her when she arrives.

Beckham's First Talk in Primary

Here is a video of Beckham doing his dry run for his talk in primary today. Thought you guys might enjoy this.

Snowless Christmas fun
Since the Gator doesn't do well in snow the boys took advantage of the dry weather.

Driver training for Carter,

Carter is almost as tall as the nut cracker.

 He spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to open the nut cracker's mouth.  He was happy when he finally figured it out.

 Father and son spending quality gadget time together.

Jade got a rabbit so we all worked together building a rabbit cage.  The girls are holding the master bed.

I think its name is Midnight, so they painted a moon on the top of the rabbit cage (helicopter view)..

The final project with the proud designer in the center.

Just dance competition was a big hit.  Boy do we have the moves!

It made for great spectator enjoyment.

Tyler doing his robot moves.

Now comes the star of the show.  Caleb wearing Cassi's tank top.

Carter was so embarrassed he was in tears.  I can't read Cassi's expression.

Mom and Cassi almost in sync.

Fun times for all.  Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Since most of you will not be here at Christmas time to try to find the "pickle", I thought I would show you pictures of our inside Christmas decorations and have you search for a common theme in Barb focuses on.  Now what would that be?  I'll bet your first guess was right,  Nativities.  So your challenge is to tell me how many nativity scenes Mom used in this years Christmas decorating.  I have counted them and Mom has verified the count.  In the spirit of the pickle the first one to correctly identify the correct number gets a prize and it won't be a box of Graham Crackers.  Each picture is labelled so you might want to list them by picture.  This same challenge applies to the Grandkids, except they can work together by family and  the family who comes closest get a prize.

Since we usually have two pickles, the second challenge is to be the first to list the people in our family (all 36 of us) who do not have Christmas stockings hanging up at our house by the Christmas tree downstairs.

Have fun.
