What quarantine is like at our household according to Anna and Brayden ...

Congratulations on quintuplets!

For Brayden and Brennan's science, they had the opportunity to dissect a shark.  We were just about to wrap everything up when Brayden discovered the female shark was pregnant and had a bunch of little shark babies.  They were promptly delivered via C-section but didn't quite make it.

"Welcome" home ... keep the germs away!

After Jon's return from a 3-day trip, the boys were defending the house from any Coronavirus germs Dad may have brought home.  Brayden was staged in the garage, Brennan in the kitchen, and Brodie at the top of the stairs.

Christi and Brodie are giving me a heart attack!

Context:  Christi and Brodie have an unofficial competition about how close to the garage door they can park ... which drives me crazy :-)

So...I come home in the van with the kids to find the "teen car" parked QUITE close to the garage with the following note from Christi ...

I told Brodie that there is no way to humanly park any closer than this, so don't even try.  Of course, he sees this as the gauntlet being thrown down.

Anna's & Brayden's Miss Kansas Video for their cousin

Anna was asked by her cousin, Hannah, to create a custom video of her travels as Miss Kansas over the past year to play at the new Miss Kansas pageant, since Anna had been taking animation classes.  Anna had fun creating it and having Brayden sing in the background.  Enjoy!

The Old Testament in 10 minutes

Ava and her friend Emma presented the Old Testament in 10 minutes at school.

Christmas Recital

Each year around Christmas, the kids do a recital at a retirement home.  It is a delight to see how the residents' faces light up seeing and talking with the kids.  This year, only Brayden and Brennan gave me permission to post their videos.
The first one is "I Have Seen the Light" with Philip (the kids' music teacher), Brayden, and me singing.  How fun it is to sing with my son!  The second is of Brennan on the piano.  I love his little bow. 😊
