Week In Review

 

Ry had a busy Scout day

today.  They started with clean

up at Lake McDonald.

And then they toured an

airplane museum out by the

airport for one of their merit badges.

and with any new merit badge

there is lots and lots of paper work.

So we headed to the park because

the weather was SOOOO gorgeous!

You can kinda see them in the

background down there.

I guess they needed ice cream

from the ice cream man to

fill out the paper work.  :)

Cody has been playing in my

gardens.  That little boy is

ready to head to Dallas for the

races!  I think KC likes playing

in there too.

These dogs!

They know as soon as

I walk in the door from taking

the boys to school it is

time for biscuits!

They practically race me

to the kitchen.

I have been working on some

new stuff for the butterfly.

Different and New and Exciting Stuff!

 

Oh this boy and his LOVE! for history!

He loves it and will read or build

or study anything that is about

Abraham Lincoln. Pearl harbor. The Titanic.

We got him this replica for

Christmas and he couldn't wait to

get started on it.

 

My handsome little helper.

Super Bowl Sunday

I'll be honest...

We don't watch pro football.

We don't have a pro football team even.

I guess we would consider ourselves

Cowboy fans because we are Texans.

BUT there were no Cowboys going

to the Super Bowl.  Close ~ but no.

 

We've watched every year since

the boys were little.  We try to

make it fun with games and treats.

 

This year we had NO desire to

watch.  We weren't rooting for the

Patriots for obvious reasons

and I saw a REALLY horrible arrogant 

interview from a Seattle player

last year that still has me

against the Seahawks!

 

 

But we placed our bets and played

our games anyway.  This Super Bowl

Commercial Bingo the boys LOVED!

 

 

 

We also decided to do a

French Fry Bar this year.

We made our own fries and the

boys planned the toppings.

They were so yummy!

 

So many choices that no ones

were the same.

 

 

KC grilled some chicken that he

seasoned with some of the Jerk

Sauces we brought back from

Jamica and some other things

he threw in there.  He's good at that!

 

The boys also made

Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

These were devoured in no time!

This kid was even less into

the game than we were.

 

It takes us at least 15 tries to

take a picture together.

15 tries for KC to get serious

and let us get a decent one

is probably more like it.

 

And Cody was the big winner!

He won the most quarter score guesses

and the Bingo game.  Kade won the

half time show bets we had, but he

had to leave early and I didn't get a pic.

Snow Day

The weather guys have been

talking about this big snow storm

for 3 days now.

 

First rain and then snow...

Lots and lots of snow.

 

And they were actually right this time.

12 inches right.

Right enough for a No School

Snow Day!

 

The boys were ecstatic!

 

We never get snow days.

Ever!

 

I think the dogs love snow

days even more.  This one was

a little too deep for our

weenie girl.  She tried her best though.

 

I made snow ice cream with

the boys.  I don't know why,

but they love it. 

 

 

 

The boys spent 2 days sledding

on this snow.  Hours and Hours.

They loved it!

Their Dad did too.

 

 

 

and while they were sledding...

They sent me this picture.

I love my boys!

 

 

 

and even day three still sledding

on the snow.  Or dirt. 

Maybe a little bit of both.

Skiing at Sipapu

KC and Rylee loaded up

with all the scouts and headed

to Sipapu for a Scout Ski Trip.

 

 

They needed this father son

time.  Although, I was a little

jealous I didn't get to go.

 

Ry had a blast hanging

with his friends.

I got this picture on Saturday.

Something along the lines

Rylee fell down the big

mountain and broke both

of his legs.  They sure

are funny ~ aren't they!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This little pro skier was

skiing the black trails by

Sunday.  I love that he has

an interest in skiing.  He really

has a love for it and is soooo

good at it.
