Random kid pictures

Tiffany made herself a Pharaoh costume after watching the movie "Moses."
Reading their all-time favorite book: Calvin and Hobbs
Making fresh orange juice ice cubes with Aura
The twins made themselves a dolphin and turtle costume!
I'm not sure which twin drew this picture of Aunt Amy:)
Santa Clause!

The girls wanted to make a raw cake, which turned out great!  They made up the recipe.



The kids and I had a zucchini cake cook-off (or in the case of my raw one, "un-cook off").  Both were delish!
More sea creature costumes!
Making letters out of my cotton balls and scraps of sparkly paper.  So creative! 



Hike at the Jensen's
A little blurry, but very handsome:)
The girls have made quite a few of these stuffed animals out of scraps of fabric which they color with markers.  
What beautiful shoes! There is no shoe underneath.  Pretty amazing work, complete with the all-popular cotton ball on the top:)
Playing "memory"
The kids spent a good portion of the evening smacking this watermelon with a kitchen towel until it cracked!
The boys shot this little bird with a BB gun, then roasted it over an open fire, rotisserie style. It was meant to be an appetizer  before before dinner, but they ended up giving it to the dog:)  Needless to say, it was a very many event.
Popcorn bingo for FHE activity! A favorite game for sure (thanks for the idea, Amy!).
The kids all hung out at the McDonald's across the street from Arte del Sol, where I buy all the stones for Mayan Treasure in Antigua.  It was kind of funny because we brought our own food for lunch, so they were hiding in the back, secretly eating apple slices and other healthy things so they didn't get kicked out of McDonald's for not eating cheeseburgers and fries:)
Tiffany teaching Aura how to read.  She has a great pronunciation of English words!
Ty helped me sort through a bunch of stones for Mayan Treasure.  He did a great job color coordinating them for me!
Ty made this fort on our front lawn, complete with books to read, and then fell asleep for hours!
Aura got an order from Australia! So we got out the beads and the girls made bracelets during their play time.
Ty loves books!
The boys each started learning Hebrew without knowing each other was studying it until a few weeks later! So here they are,  challenging each other to a Hebrew learning competition game. 
Calvin watched a TED video on how to memorize a full deck of cards....and then he did it in under 15 minutes!
Devon did the same! Pretty amazing.
Devon the "bird whisper" caught and temporarily tamed this bird that was flying around our house.  Then he let it go free.  Those are our neighbors in the back ground, Parker and Anna Kate. 
Ok, so we got really bored waiting in the immigration office for our passports and all that paperwork to be updated.  So, Calvin and Devon tied the twins' hair together!
Here we are....happy to have just picked up Colin from a 3 week doTERRA trip in the U.S., but going a little nutz-o waiting for our passports!
Sorting tons of new Mayan Treasure stones!
This is what the house looked like in between General Conference sessions.  The Jensens and the Kellys can sure make a mess! Seems there was popcorn all over the floor at one point, but I can't be sure:)
The Jensens were happy to see us after we had been gone to the city for several days:)
Tyrese, the perfect-omelet-maker! On a different morning, he made himself a three course breakfast (after 4 days of camping eating muffins and fruit each morning for b-fast): toast, omelet, and oatmeal!
Experimenting with hairstyles from cutegirlhair.com







Raw carob cake with peppermint oil.  Can you say YUM?!
