Reflections

I'm still playing catch up. I don't know if you remember Carter won reflections at his school a few months ago, well he got a letter from the district saying that he won an award of merit for the district. So we got invited to a little ceremony and it happened to to land on the same night that I was in charge of a Activity day girls recognition night. So I arranged for someone to cover the last part of the night so I could sneak off to go to Carter's thing, well to make a long story short, she didn't show up and by the time I decided to leave or not, I got to Carter's thing two minutes too late!! I guess things like that happen. His Dad and grandparents were there to support him.

Swimming with Grandma and Grandpa

My Parents come and see every so often and when they get a motel close to us we get the chance to go swimming with them. It's fun for the kids to be able to get in the water during these long cold months. Adam, Heather and Hailee came with us swimming also, it was so much fun, even if it didn't last very long and we mostly stayed in the hot tub. Thanks Mom and Dad!!!

Snowball Fight!!

I'm so bad at getting my youngest out in the snow. By the time you get all bundled up and out in the snow it gets so cold that it's time to go back in. But it was worth the few minutes of fun we had. I pulled him around on the sled and then we had a snowball fight. He was having so much fun that he didn't want to go back in!!

Lost Tooth

Over the New Years weekend my oldest lost his first tooth. He has been waiting for this for a long time. It was so hard for him to have a lot of his friends missing teeth and he hadn't yet. So his time finally came. He wish it had been a few weeks earlier so he could be missing teeth while sang "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" at his school Christmas program. His friend and him tried to "box" eachothers' teeth out before the program, but it didn't work. Any day now he should be losing tooth #2.
