One mention of the word 'party" and Debbie and I jumped into our car and drove to California with my five kids to surprise Polly. It was the most fun! The Hartvigsons put on a Charles Dickens Christmas Party at their farm and it was out of this world. They transformed their whole yard into a miniature London with Candle stores, a wool shop , post office, toy shop, Candy shop, play house and a puppet show. Everyone dressed up in period clothing. They had delicious old english food for dinner only after we got to tour the town and make our own candles and pull wool. Hunter carved knives and swords which he sold to earn money for his mission. They put on a Punch and Judy puppet show with homemade puppets. Brian Read the story of Scrooge while all the children acted it out up on the stage. We had the most wonderful dessert bar. Gorgeous scenery all painted by Polly. The whole weekend was amazing. Did I mention that it was 82 degrees ?Sarah Stampshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13990593385245173923noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965704.post-89262750462261929352012-11-14T12:22:00.000-08:002012-11-14T12:22:36.224-08:00Utah tripThere is never a shortage of wonderful friends and family to visit with when we go to Utah.

Fox and Dad on their first 11 year old scout overnighter. They said it was freezing but they stayed warm and had a great time. They hiked in with all their gear for about a mile and a half. ate delicious warm dinner. Fox learned how to chop wood with an axe and start a fire. They came home all in one piece!Sarah Stampshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13990593385245173923noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965704.post-57132943755458538892011-12-04T11:19:00.001-08:002011-12-04T11:30:23.858-08:00spookier<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fox and Mason had a ball. They love their new scout troop and they are having so much fun making new friends and goofing around. I love it too. They made their cars all by themselves but were clearly out shined by those who had a little"help". That's ok. that is what being a kid is all about.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fXy1iWr6dvk/Te6yfAI73cI/AAAAAAAAAkE/D4Ul4wOvyo4/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fXy1iWr6dvk/Te6yfAI73cI/AAAAAAAAAkE/D4Ul4wOvyo4/s320/3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615622031060753858" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D0XGfig73Vw/Te6yevqWJtI/AAAAAAAAAj8/7C5Gv4I78NU/s1600/4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D0XGfig73Vw/Te6yevqWJtI/AAAAAAAAAj8/7C5Gv4I78NU/s320/4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615622026637485778" /></a><br /><br />One of my very favorite friends moved away from us this week. This a picture of the girls gorging themselves on cupcakes on her back porch. My girls LOVE playing at her house because she has three girls and the best girl toys ever! Also, their Mom Vicki has the best treats and spoils the kids whenever they are over. I will miss their family dearly. Hopefully our weekly phone calls ( to make sure we've survived the week) won't stop even though we can't see each other anymore.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-or0rZAQZxO8/Te6yeSPn8eI/AAAAAAAAAj0/-TUgym_h_vc/s1600/5.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We let the boys stay home from school to go swimming all day one day. We spent several days at the park. Slumber parties. They threw down mean game of UNO. Lots of serious talking and 'hanging out". We just love having them here and saying goodbye was oh so hard. Love you all. Thank you for taking the time to spend with us.
