Sunday Fun

Grant taking a turn on the sledding ramp. I see some air under him.
I don't even know what to say about this photo - you can decide.

We had our Mr Men shirts on for our trip to the Roller Skating Rink.


Grant getting up from a fall.



Here I am working on my corners for Roller Derby try-outs.




Saturday Feb 20th Fun

Abbie took the gold - Rachel the silver and Grant the bronze on the roller coaster event at Menard's on Saturday.
We had some great packing snow fall on Saturday and we made a snowman.

More snowballs that were eventually turned in our sledding ramp later.


Making homemade pizza with Uncle Joel.




AND to top off the evening with a Magic show with Abracadabra Abbie and Ralacazahm Rachel.

Aunt Kim spent a night and we celebrated her birthday.


The Girl Scouts made a trip to Oaknoll to hang out with the resisdents.



The face of a boy that lost EVERYTHING on a Wii game him and Daddy have been working on. If only you could have seen the tears. It was pretty sad.
