January

Jordan went to his first Klondike derby for Boy Scouts.

Josh joined band and started learning trumpet.

Gavin is trying to quit sucking his thumb.

And Tye (not pictured because he doesn't sit still enough)

is happy to bounce around the house with Lacey

and watch Wall-E for the 100th time.

A Star is Born

Jordan achieved the rank of Star Scout in Boy Scouts. He is now adept at setting fires (legal and otherwise), building snow caves, swimming, first aid (hopefully), using a compass and all other things boy scoutish.

Hot Tub, Rural Nevada Style

Marc took the kids to Spring Creek in January to visit his brother and sister and they decided to hit the hot springs in Ruby Valley with the cousins. What you can't see is the thermometer reading 20*F. Yeah, not much incentive to leave the water.

Sorry Gav :(

Fonger Smackdown

Marc is a Steelers fan.

Gavin is a Cardinals fan.

Who will be conquerer?

Who will have bragging rights?

Who will not cry on their pillo' tonight?

Stay tuned.

Yes, we've added to our family--again.
