Arizona

 This has nothing to do with Arizona, but it's cute. Doogles and Penny relaxing on the kitchen floor a few weeks ago.
We drove away from the cold on Sunday, and after spending a night in Las Vegas, we made it to Arizona. We spent three fun-filled, and mostly sun-filled days with Seth and McCall and their three children - Krew, Jarren, and baby Charly.
A bit of wrestling in our Las Vegas hotel.
We grabbed some burgers and fries on our way down to Arizona. Douglas looked at one of the ketchup packets, picked it up, and said, "Dad, do you want some . . . um . . . checkup?" Then he paused for a second or two with a confused look on his face. He knew it was the wrong word, but he couldn't remember the correct word. It was hilarious.

 We spent hours at the aquarium and Legoland.

Krew is a funny little man. We got lunch at the food court. At one point Sam and McCall were gone purchasing food. Krew said, "Where are McCall and Stacie?" I replied, laughing, "Stacie?! It's Sam, not Stacie" He responded with, "Sam, Stacie, same thing. I can't ever tell which one is which."

 The kids liked the aquarium, but they loved Legoland.

On Tuesday evening, Seth taught everyone about being born again spiritually and becoming clean.

Doogles and Krew. Coming down!
 Baby Charly watches the fun.
"You want me to pose? Like this?"
Thank you Seth, McCall, Krew, Jarren, and Charly for a wonderful time.
We look forward to seeing you again!

The Trend-Setter

Ready for church!

Alka-Seltzer bottle rockets
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, blastoff!
Penny is a trend-setter. Sunglasses, diaper, and sparkly church shoes.

The Ogden family coat of arms and motto: And if I show, then I do not boast.
 Douglas and Penny enjoy the story of the gingerbread man these days, so Sam decided to help them make gingerbread cookies.
