Newport Beach

Got to go to Newport Beach for a couple of hours while we were in LA.  Chris doesn't know, but it was this or Universal Studios.  I'm sure he would have preferred the latter, but Mom's vote (mine!) won for once!!!

To LA for a Basketball Tournament over MKL wknd

long car ride!

Nationally ranked 8th grade team (Soldiers)

Stephen's team (+ chris and his friend Zachary in the hood)

Steve is using his Christmas present!!

Art by Stephen

You don't catch Stephen drawing very much, so I thought this was pretty good!  Apparently he had free time in math (sigh....)

Great to have Matt here!

Matt is here visiting!!!

Foggy day in SF, but we had fun anyway!!

More kitties!!

Stephen is studying about ancient Egypt in Social Studies

SV made a shadoof for extra credit! (Look it up!)

Chris learning to program!

Chris is really liking his HTML5 class.  Steve helps him out at home!

Happy New Year!

We made chocolate fondue on New Years Eve
Stephen loved the fondue, chris and I preferred to eat the dipping items straight up (strawberries, snickers, pound cake, white chocolate fudge, cheesecake, marshmallows, reeses and pretzels :-))
