Opera star and basketball

Quentin's class put on an Opera and he was part of the Ninja group.  It was really cute and silly all at the same time.  He had a lot of fun.  Here are a few pictures of him with his Ninja group. 

Quentin has made quite a few new friends in his new school and has been able to do a lot of fun stuff.  However, he has chosen to return back to Bonneville next year to be with his friends there.  It will be sad and nice at the same time. 
Quentin also decided to try out basketball this year, so we have been busy with that on the weekends.  He kept moving around so fast so I couldn't get a great picture.  But here is a picture of the back of him waiting for a pass and of him running to catch his man.  They play man to man at this age, so the boys run a lot to stay away from each other.  It has been fun to watch and work with Quentin on how to play.  He has had a great coach which makes the world of difference.

Fun Pictures

Life has been busy as usual, but we have been having fun as well.  Here are some fun pictures to enjoy of the boys.

Costume fun. 

kind of freaky

enjoying his ice cream

Zayne's favortie place to rest lately is in the stuffed animal bucket. 

Justin had his eyes dilated and had to wear these for a while.  The boys have enjoyed them.

Christmas 2011

We spent Christmas Eve with Justin's family this year in his parents new home.  All of his family came into town this year, so it was much more enjoyable for the boys to have cousins to play with.  On Christmas day, we had church at 9, so we didn't open Santa gifts until after Church.  It made the day go a lot quicker.  The boys also wanted to buy gifts for each other this year.  So it was fun to spend one on one time with each of them to get gifts.  What a great time of year.

The boys all got one toy, games and puzzles, and a pillow pet.  They had been begging for a pillow pet for ever.  Zayne didn't really care for opening presents, but he sure enjoyed seeing what was inside.  Justin and I felt like Christmas was a big success since there was no fighting and plenty of things to keep the boys busy all day.  Wooooohoooooo!

Got Lucky

This past weekend the boys were desperate to eat at Pizza Pie Cafe, which is still their all time favorite restaurant.  So poor me didn't get to cook Saturday night and had to go enjoy a night out.  While we were there a special visitor came to visit.  Can  you guess who?  Yep, Santa Claus.  The boys were so excited and each one of them was willing to sit on his lap and get their picture taken.  After wards we wandered the Riverwoods and saw all the lights and stopped in the toy store there for a bit to warm up.  Everyone seemed to have fun and enjoyed time as a family.  Saturday morning, Quentin also performed in his Christmas recital and did a great job.  He played his song Jingle Bell Rock. 
The pictures were all taken with Justin's camera so they turned out a bit blurry, but you get the idea.
