Frozen
Took Adrianna and Bree out for a mommy/daughter date to see Frozen at the movie theatre. The movie was great! We all loved it. I enjoyed the fact that it wasn’t a movie where “true love’s kiss” cures everything or where the princess needs a prince to rescue her. Instead it is a story about […]

MAVEN will try to figure out what happened to the water that scientists think once existed on the red […]
Adrianna’s Scrapbook Page

Dressing Up
Playing dress-up (a daily occurrence)
Halloween 2013
For Halloween, Bree decided to change up her costume from a monster to her old Rainbow Dash costume. Here’s Rainbow Dash, holding Rainbow Dash. Adrianna was Princess Leia and Cate was a cute little lamb.
Another School Day
Adrianna is on the floor doing her math and Bree decided she wanted to “do school” with her. Cate is nearby as well (off-screen in her “baby pen”). Even Cate is captivated by our science video on reptiles this afternoon.
White Fence Farm
Enjoying the playground and play area before (and after) dinner.
Trunk-or-Treat
Every year, our church, Foothills Community Church, holds a “Trunk-or-treat” on the Friday before Halloween. This year, we brought Princess Leia, a cute furry monster, and an adorable little lamb (held by Greg).
