Allissa's basketball game!!

MAN!! I am falling way behind here, LOL I have been busy with just stuff and we have been going to Allissa's basketball games. I have been talking my spiffy new video camera in hopes of getting some footage of her making a basket or a 3 point shot, well....I got nothing yet. Well...at this last game, I had the video in hand but was looking at something else just for a second and well....she got the ball, ran up court and made the shot. Good you say, yes, very good but do you think I was ready?? NOPE!!! AWww.....the story of my life!! So all I have so far is a picture shot and I will keep trying to get that video for you all!! Allissa is # 11!!
Meanwhile we have little Zac here doing some PR work to get that ball from the ref. We heard him say, I want that ball dude!! Can I have it please?? LOL~~He does have polite manners!!

OK! Thanks, this is the way I like it!! And NO, you dont need it back, go and find yourself another ball, this one is all M-I-N-E!! He is sooo cute LOLWhen the game is going on, you can find Zac chit chatting with the other dads. He looks like he has plenty to say to this guy and uses lots of hand motions. He must get this from his Mom!! LOL

Deep deep snow

We have just a "Tad" bit of snow!! yah right!! I think we got clobbered!! It is literally up to my knees which must be 1 1/2 ft or two!! I couldnt believe it. I took Jazzi out with me on her leash so I wouldnt loose her but Hey! if she is crazy enough to run away, I dont think she could even if she wanted to!! Here is the front porch and Note: There is no swing there!! LOLHere is the swing ROFL~~buried in the snow!!I will just let you look at the pics, they speak for themselves plus a have a yummy breakfast waiting LOL then we will hit the sidewalks etc. Hey!! Double thanks for the snazzi snowblower Linda!! LOL

Happy 28th Birthday Valerie!!

Valerie's birthday was Jan 14th but we just all got together today for her meal. We had roast, potatoes, carrots, rolls and Mississippi mud cake and it was all good if I do say so myself LOL Came time for candles and all I can say is good thing Jason is a fireman!! Do you think she could blow them all out at once???

Of course, she got her traditional chocolate chip cookie dough!!We brought Kaleb's bike upstairs so he could have something to do with the cold weather. Zac found it and figured out how to get on it and can get his feet on the pedals but just doesn't know how to make it go just yet. I am pretty sure that he will be riding it this summer and we will be spending lots of time outside going up and down the sidewalk!!!And.....today we took the training wheels off of Kyla's bike. She was pretty excited until....she tried it and found out that it is a little bit harder than she thought!! Here is just a short clip of her riding!!

So...all in all, we had a fun day!! Next birthday is Kim's on March 9th!!

Bowling with Railey

A few weeks ago, Kyla had her friend Railey over and Kim took them bowling. Kyla went to preschool with Railey last year and so they are at different schools for kindergarten this year but they still like to get together to play. It took them a bit to get their technique and style down and the balls down the alley but they eventually got it all figured out. Thank-goodness for bumper lanes!!
It was alot of fun and I actually dont know who won!! I got them on video and they like to watch it and laugh at themselves!! Here the are just being funny before we had to go!! Had ice-cream on the way home, so it was a good afternoon!!

Kaleb the fireman!!

When Kaleb is into something, he has this habit of wearing it all the time. Like his Awana vest, he wore for a week and he had to sleep in it too. He gets into his Monster truck shirts or his guitar shirts and his Bears Jersey's and he has to wear them every day and Kim washes them at night. This week he has been into his fireman stuff. He wore the fireman jacket, hat and boots all day long and riding his fireman scooter. I was taking the kids to Walmart and so off we went in the complete fireman attire!! People thought that it was really cute and he was just walking down the isles just as happy as could be LOLHe had some of his money, so what did he buy?? What else but a Firetruck!! LOL push a few buttons and it makes siren noises and different firetruck noises!! He was happy with his new purchase!!While he was looking cute at the store, he also had his fireman rain boots on the wrong feet, and he said that he liked it that way, LOLThey sure are little characters!!

Zac on the play computers

The other day I bought a TON of batteries for the TON of things here that need a battery. One of them was Kyla's old barbie computer. Kaleb has fun playing with it~~it teaches letters and stuff like that. Well... Zac has discovered it and the other day it was on the table. He climbed up in his chair and went to work on it. He looks like he knows just exactly what he is doing huh?? He is a real natural with that mouse!!Here he is nowdays...... compared to last year......

The new treadmill

Here is the new addition to our family!! Dons new treadmill LOL It supposedly has all the bells and whistles but havent seen them used yet.
He loves it and now he can keep up his 30 miles a week.

Of course, being the new item, the kids all have to get a chance to get on it. Kim and I are starting to use it too. So I think we will get plenty of use out of it. It does look nice though!!
