Survival Practice


We went camping with the Lewis Family and the trip ended up to be our survival practice. Bishop Lewis decided to try to start a fire with a magnify glass to see if he could actually do it if he had to. The first two rows of photos are of the "big boys" playing with fire and accomplishing a huge fire started with only the magnify glass, flint steel and sticks of coarse. Good Job boys!!
They also took the kids on a hike to the top of a peak with a mirror to see if Jana and I could see the reflection and spot were they were from camp. It was pretty cool to see how bright the flash of light was with the mirror when it hit the sun just right. I guess now they know how to be found if they get lost as long as it's a sunny day anyway!
The third row of pictures are of the kids on a scripture scavenger hunt. Jana and I made up a scavenger hunt using scriptures as clues and the kids got a big bag of treats at the end. They had fun and Jana and I had fun putting it all together.
The picture of the hand is for the Stewart kids to remember not to touch cactus. We broke out the first aid kids a few times to pull cactus needles out of hands! Not Fun!!!
Next is a picture of Chase teaching us how to make all the colored parts of our eyes disappear. I guess this could be useful in scaring anything or anyone away! Ha Ha
The last two pictures are of a hut and a sand village that the kids built. They spent alot of time on making them and had alot of fun doing it also.
So I guess if it came to the Stewart's and the Lewis's having to survive in the wild we would do fine as long as we had our trailers full of food and water! Thanks Lewis Family for another fun camping trip!

Blue and Gold


So for the Blue and Gold Banquet Chase did the Titanic sinking for his cake. We put small doll shoes, clothes, dishes, etc... floating in the water along with gummy life savers as the life preservers. We ada a Polly Pocket doll with a lifesaver around her waist as a survivor floating next to the boat. We came up with the idea the morning of the banquet so we were kind of throwing it together last minute but it all worked out. We had fun together making it and Chase baked the cakes by himself. Good Job Buddy


Pooping Party!!!!

We had a party at our house tonight! Andie pooped in the toilet for the 1st time ever! It wasn't because she new she needed to go, so we can't celebrate too much. ha ha

I heard her tooting and ask her if she wanted to go poop on the toilet and she jumped at the chance, so I did too. She tooted on the pot a few times and let it rip! I was yelling at Marcus to come celebrate with us and the whole family ended up in the bathroom checking it out and making Andie feel good about what she had done! So funny! I bet you wish you could party like the Stewarts!!!! ha ha
