What!? A new post!!

okay, so it has been a year since the last post. Richards new year resolution this year was a new post every week. Well, that has already failed. We will for sure keep it up better than last year though. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes we are back and better than ever.  Speaking of phoenix, we dont live there anymore. We have moved to the frozen tundra of Minnesota (jk! its really not that bad, both weeks of summer really were beautiful!) Anyway, Minnesota is nice and we have made some new friends here. Not as much action as phoenix for sure, but the schools are better. That is good for teachers and their kids, plus having summer off makes sense here compared to phoenix.

Richards robotics team at kickoff. Just some of the students went.

Richard is the scoutmaster. The scouts went ice fishing.

The ice was 14 inches thick. If you come to visit make sure you bring a light jacket or a sweater!

Eclipse

Did you see the eclipse! No, im not talking about vampires........
There was a total lunar eclipse on Dec 11. I had to wake up at 4:30 to go see it. It was kinda cool, but if you missed it your outta luck. I was told it only happens once every 100 years. But its ok, i took some photos. Check it out








As the moon was almost gone the sun was coming up, so the sky lightened up. It was interesting because it was a full moon, then it was gone in a little over an hour.



I posted a photo of a plane I built for a friend also to make some extra $. (extra $? what does that mean! I guess that means my negative number is smaller) It turned out good though. He was really impressed with it.



Now I have some funny stories!

- Kylee was upstairs playing and came down and smelled bad cause she pooped her pants. I asked her "oh no! what happened?" and she replies "poop happens" Ha! I couldn't even be upset with her for pooping her pants it was so funny

- At a christmas party we went to there were minute to win it games, and they had a bunch of older kids go up on the stage and play so kylee ran up there and tried to play. The game was to put a cookie on your forehead, and try to get it in your mouth without using your hands. She just held her cookie and waited until the game was over then ate it. In the middle she looked at her cookie like 'sigh' and watched the other kids. It was so funny. Had to be there for that one.

- Zack has figured out how to squeeze and hold his breath until his face turns red. He does it every night at dinner and then laughs and looks at you so pleased with himself like 'yeah, im so funny'
