This Is Why We Love Winter!





Saturday found Lindsay and Sam coming to spend the week-end. It was a beautiful day so we thought we should try some cross-country skiing at Spidahls Ski Guard. With the beef stew in the crock pot awaiting us to work up an appetite we set out to do just that! What a great day. Notice we didn't post any pictures of us on the ground....we did land there though. We were definitely tired at the end of the day.

Fun in Alexandria

Last spring Nick was looking for a golf course in the area that was open. So, I went on to the Arrowwood web-site to see if their golf course could be open. In the process I registered for a free night at the Arrowwood resort in Alexandria to be given away. I won! So this week-end after attending the Otter Basketball game in Alexandria we stayed at the resort. Our visit included a free nights stay, breakfast for 4 (it was a great buffet) and 4 free waterpark tickets. Since mom and dad decided to skip the water park, Nick and his friend Darin had two other friends who live in Alexandria join them at the water park for the day. We met Laura and her family at Bible Camp last summer during family camp. Thanks for spending the day with us Laura and Lauren! It was a great place to be when it was -35 below wind chill outside. We are looking forward to our next game of Sequence with you! :)

Boys will be Boys

These first few pictures are of Jeff, Chelsea and Savannah (Chelsea's sister).
It was nice to have a few girls in the house again. These Florida girls are probably experiencing the coldest days in their life right now.
Can you guess who is who. Looks like we are seeing double!



Jeff was home from college for 3 weeks. It was a


good time to see his high school buddies. There was


never a dull moment with these guys around. Guess who


is almost falling asleep, who is talking to his girlfriend and


who is playing the Wii??




Nick sprained his ankle right before Christmas in


a basketball game. He was icing his ankle in a very cold


bucket of water when he suggested to Pere he put his head


in there. Pere is always up for a challenge. I wonder why


we even bother to buy boys toys when they can have so


much fun without them!


New Years Eve

This is where our puppy Oreo likes to lay so E wanted to see if he could fit on the same step! Jeff enjoyed playing with some of his old toys. He and E are playing cars.
I think we have a competitive game of Sequence going on.

On New Years Eve we stayed at home around the fire and played games, visited and played toys with friends. What a fun evening. Happy 2008!
