Max turned 8 on January 10th. First order of business: enroll in the Cub Scouts, get his cubby shirt, and join the rest of the brothers as SCOUTS! The Wright family now boasts 5 active (VERY active) Scouts - the two oldest are working on Eagles, and Max is the sparkling new Cub - busy times!
I don't know how long snakes live. I don't care. I don't live with a snake. But the Wright household includes a snake, so when in Rome... This is Arrowmint, who survived the trip from Wisconsin riding on the dashboard in a very fancy shoebox. He is very large. And seems to like his new desert home, because he is MUCH MORE ACTIVE than when living in Wisconsin. Wonder if the warmth has anything to do with it...
With five guys bouncing around the house, you never know what shenanigans are going to provide entertainment. Here Than demonstrates the fine art of peeling a mandarin orange to become an elephant.
Collin tunes up right next to the kitchen, in what would normally be considered in any other home as the "family room". With four musicians and one wanna-be, it's a music room in the Wright house. Everyone gravitates here by the end of the day. And there is music all day long!
Silly Carrie thought she was all done with her horse season of life when she left Wisconsin and her two horses behind. Distributed ALL her horse equipment and apparel to friends and others. See how long it took for her to hook up with a horse again? Now she has NEW boots, helmet, and equipment. She's working with some friends to help them train a couple of "free horses" who are demonstrating why they were "free". Saddlebreds are tall, as you can see.
With a house full of guys, there is a lot of testosterone. Brent has an exercise program, very challenging, that he and the older punks have been working on for a couple of months. Awesome muscles, Than! Brent can keep up with these guys, too - pretty good for 40+, dad!
Besides reading, games, school, seminary, dances, and Scouts, there is always music happening. Than is becoming a very accomplished pianist, taught himself guitar (as did Collin), participates in the church choir (along with dad, Col, and Lee), and is Max's buddy.
In two years he will be leaving on his mission - so I'm getting lots of photos of him while I can!

Great looking scouts, pretty snake (they aren't so bad :-), cool music room, great muscles, and why am I not surprised that Carrie cannot stay away from horses? :-)
