Happy Birthday Dave!

Yesterday we had to squeeze in David's birthday. Tuesday's are always a crazy day here, but we were able to have some cake at about 8:49pm! Of course we started the day with hugs and kisses and well wishes for a great day. Then we all scattered for school, work, soccer practice, gymnastics, cub scouts, youth group, and soccer games. We met again at 8:48 and sang Happy Birthday, ate cake and rushed the kids to bed! Phew, that was fun!
Tonight, we have nothing. We are going to go out to eat with Dave's parents and two brothers and their wives. We will go for a long dinner and enjoy a quiet evening! That will be a Happy Birthday kind of night!

Snow Day!

We finally got a good amount of snow and coincidentally the kids had Friday off from school (except poor Austin who didn't have the day off and had to go while everyone else slept in and played!). Since it was the beginning of March we decided we better take our chance and get our sledding in for the year. We bundled up and headed out to the nearby hill with our sled, snowboards, tube and Jagg (the dog!). There was only one other family there and so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Evan mastered his snowboard, and a jump. McKinley and I went the farthest on the sled (together) and Jagg ran for over an hour and ate a lot of snow! It was a very good family time!

McKinley also made a beautiful snow angel and we all stayed pretty warm. Funny thing is--today it was over 50, the snow is all gone, and tomorrow is supposed to reach 60 --if we're lucky. That's all fine with me...goodbye snow!
