January Activities--the coming of Kylo, et al

From the Arrival of Kylo to Laser Tag to family birthdays to Geography Bees to lounging around and studying with the cats, this all sums up the month of January.

Brett, Haley, Wendy, and Caitlyn all blow out the candles for the family celebration of January/February birthdays.


Garrett competed in the Annual Geo Bee at Hickman.

Griffin frowns his way out of the dining room/fireplace room.

Kylo liked this perch by the window where he could look in and watch us.

Residency alumni gathering at James and Lory house.  Brett worked late and arrived as things were wrapping up.

The boys enjoyed battling with swords with Matthew.

Sure was a kid-friendly party.

Rolling up to the front yard was a huge video game trailer...yeah Brett, you were late.

Family Laser Quest night--I think we had the place all to ourselves, which was awesome.

A little happy married couple moment.

Won't you adopt me?  I submitted my application at the back door.

Cruz's Star Wars birthday party--our boys love any party that has a Star Wars theme.

Joy works at the desk and keeps Leia cozy in her lap.

Cuddling with cats and trying to get some work done.


I may have a crazy left ear, but it adds to my charm, don't you think?


Kylo's nervous meow, he is otherwise a very quiet cat.

Who is that kitty in the window?

Rebels vs Imperials:  the amazingly intricate game of Star Wars worlds and fleet and land battles.  All designed by the boys themselves.



Leia investigates this new anomaly in the backyard, Kylo.  He is NOT my son!
