Presidential Week!

Wow, we've been having a blast!

Our Ohio friends were in town.  We had them over for a visit on Friday, we went Bowling on Saturday and on Sunday for a final evening visit.  What a blast and awesome to see them.  We got 7 inches of snow on Sunday!

Happy Presidents Day Monday - a great 55 degree day.  We were enjoying the out of doors.

Our homeschool friends have a Presidents day party after Presidents day, where we all bring something to share/present.  Jeremiah wanted some George Washington jokes (Adley was George).  George read the jokes and Jeremiah shared the answer, if the friends didn't' get it.  Some were quite cheesy, and would not be guessed.  So fun.

Nathanael interviewed George Washington, a fun script we found online.

Pools open! Ice rink closed! We had a 75 degree day! This was  the best rink draining day ever.

Cool water tricks!

Boogie boards - so fun.

Splash!

We took out the bikes once pool time was over.  Jeremiah did great on his bike. I think he's ready.

And we finished off with a cone from Friendlies.

What a fabulous week!

Love,

The fun guys

AWANA Grand Prix!

What a blast!

Adley ran a carrot and Nathanael ran a Minecraft mine cart.  The boys both had a couple first place runs.

So fun,

FUN TIMES!!

Wow, we've been busy having lots of fun.
Sunday night was an intense evening of football, (the first half of the game with our Eagle fan friends - we went home after halftime, and we're glad for it. :) )
Monday we were off to Great Wolf Lodge. Another super fun wet time on the slides.  Nathanael and Jeremiah did the super drop ride and loved it. (Adley and Dad did it once the first trip.  Mom has still declined.)
Tuesday was the Awana Grand Prix for Jeremaiah's age.  He had a hammerhead shark car.  It got first place in a couple of heats.  No speed trophies there, but he got first place trophy for design.  He and DAD did a great job.
Wednesday morning Jeremiah lost his first tooth.

We'll have to get some pics up soon!

Love,
The busy buddies!

Ninja Warriors

Watch out, we'll be the next Ninja Warriors.  We are joining a ninja club - we had our first tryout today.  The photo's are blurry, because we're so fast....

Here's Jeremiah running the quintuple step.

Here's Nathanael flying through the quintuple step. 

Here's Adley tackling the 8 foot wall.  He also scrambled up the 10 foot wall twice.

Boy what a blast - we can't wait to go back next week.  This will be 5 weeks of ninja warrior madness.

Love,

The ninjas

More Snow Fun!

Look what we made today?  The snow was so sticky - and we used a pallet for the roof (plus more snow).  We're excited for 20 degrees tonight to ice it up. :)

Winter wonderland!

Bomb Cyclone!

A bomb cyclone will not slow us down.  Have winter - will skate!

Awesome Christmas Adventures!

Christmas Eve we celebrated with friends at our house before going to Christmas Eve service.  Christmas morning we woke up at 6:15 for present time.  The snow was falling like crazy outside, while we build more Lego sets.  We shoveled out our new 7 inches of snow before heading off to the cousins house.  We celebrated Christmas evening at the Parsons with more presents and fun.  All the boys had new Christmas Jammies to wear. 

The 26th was COLD - but me made it outside for some fun.  Uncle Ben has a snowmobile and two sleds tied to the back.  We rode 4 cousins in the back and Levi with his Dad.  What a blast - tipping over and going over the jump.  On the 27th, even colder, but we made it out for another snowmobile run.  Then we were off to Memere's for more adventure.  We did fun presents in the evening and games. The 28th was COLD, but we had a blast sledding and snowshoeing.  It was great to see the new sugaring lines all set up for the maple sauna this March.  That afternoon we saw the Ferdinand Movie - very cute and enjoyed some Chinese Food at our favorite buffet.   The 29th was cold again, but we enjoyed our new Christmas toys.  That afternoon we're off to Grampies.  We had a fun time of more presents and games that night. 

On the 30th - it was above freezing, so we enjoyed some more sledding.  Then we were off home.

On New Years Eve we enjoyed church in the morning and playing with our Christmas things all afternoon.  We watched the Star Wars Movie #7 that we got for Christmas with the anticipation of watching number #8 New Years Day.  We cheered New Years at 9:00 - not too bad.

New Years Day more Christmas things fun - and the new movie.  It was very good!!


What a BIG adventure but so fun.

Love,
