At the boys school, there is a day called Global Awareness…
|
The kids celebrate different cultures around the world with food, works of art, singing and dance.
Each year, each grade presents at their Culminating Event...
Ryan’s Country was China. Ni hao!
Another event at school was called Thanks For Giving.
Evan performed several songs with his bandmates.
Evan was selected to do a Fashion Show for the Boys and Girls Club of Scottsdale.
It was held at the Fairmont Princess Resort.
Gap supplied the clothing. Here’s our STUD!
Thanksgiving Day was nice and relaxing…
We enjoyed each other…
And the turkey…
But the turkey didn’t like us much!
Evan directed and shot us doing a mannequin challenge after the yummy meal!
On Black Friday, Evan was hired for a news segment advertising Macy’s!
They dressed him up...
And let him shine!
I videotaped the tv when we got home! Enjoy the show!
Our East Valley Baseball Season ended with a Championship for the Stars!
The whole team went to dinner one night to celebrate an amazing tournament win…
And of course Evan recorded everyone doing a mannequin challenge!
December arrived, so our Christmas decor went up!
Before Winter Break, the boys school had a Reindeer Run for everyone to participate in!
We dawned our antlers and went for a run!
I was glad I got pictures with my cute little calves!
This is the entire 6th Grade…facing the sun! I didn’t place them there. Ha ha!
Before we knew it, it was time to get the boys tree for their side of the house.
We picked up hot chocolate, then headed to the tree lot.
When the tree was chosen…
The boys carried it in…
And did a great job decorating it!
As an early birthday present,
Freddy finally decided to trade in his Benzo for a beautiful RS7!
Before we knew it, it was time for class parties!
In Ryan’s class we played games and ate yummy treats!
In Evan’s class the kids ate Chick Fila…
And exchanged Secret Santa gifts!
The boys had some goofy time in Santa’s castle…
Then told him they wanted a puppy for Christmas.
On the 21st Freddy turned “30ish”! Ha ha!
Evan got him a Rose Bowl T-shirt…
And Ryan went with a Rose Bowl Sweatshirt for Daddy!
On Christmas Eve, we ate tamales, opened up some gifts,
went looking at Christmas lights around the neighborhood,
put reindeer food on the lawn and set out cookies and milk for the big guy!
On Christmas morning, the boys woke up to their own puppies!
The best part was they were battery operated! No maintenance needed!
Evan also got iTunes $…
And Ryan got a scooter!
Ryan's big gift from us was a PS4 for his Room!
Evan's was a Mac for his Room!
To Ring in 2017, we threw a fun house party!
Ok, the scene is set!
Evan spent the night at a friends house…
And Ryan spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa’s House!
We started off the night with a kiss…
And then a picture…
Freddy and I got the party started with a Salsa Performance!!
Click on the link above to watch!
And then we kept the party going through the New Year!
Happy New Year Everyone!
We hope your 2017 is off to a blessed start!
