Maybe the longest post ever!

February

This has been one of the busiest months. We have had a lot going on.

(This was actually the end of January. It all starts to run together.)-We (Christian, Trenton, Brooklon, Maron, Jenson, Jordon, Gavon and I) went to watch Trenton wrestle at a two day wrestling match in Roy. Although it was a long two day match we think Trenton did a great job and we hope to go to many more matches.

That's fire in his eyes.
February 2nd was Ground Hog Day! We (Jordon, Gavon, Jenson and I) went out to see if we could see our shadows. We traced our shadows with chalk and tried to predict if Puxatany Phil (The ground hog) could see his shadow or not. We read two fun ground hog books. They taught us that if he saw his shadow we would have 6 more weeks of winter. If he didn't see his shadow spring was coming.


We colored ground hogs and attempted to make silhouettes of ourselves. We are hoping for an early spring.

I have been doing the 14 days of Valentines day for my family. One day I left a note on the table that said "I think your a great bunch so I made you a very special lunch". I made everyone a fun lunch full of prepackaged processed food. I'm not sure that says "I love you", but they seemed to enjoy it.:) This is Jordon and Gavon enjoying theirs.

Christian and I took Brooklon on a date to the Justin Bieber "Never Say Never" 3D movie. We had fun one on one time with Brooklon. We are so proud of her and what a great girl she is. The glasses they are wearing are the 3D glasses minus the lenses from the movie. They have been wearing the frames for the last couple of days. Maron wore hers to Walmart the other day and a man came up to her and said "Those glasses are awesome". I'm not sure she remembered she was wearing them until he said something.

Other February happenings-(some crazy some not so crazy)

Our cars were broken into sometime in January at our home. No one (We think) got anything but maybe a pb and J sandwich (Not really!). But just last week at Walmart someone got into our van. They took our windshield wipers off and left me a big cup of McDonald's soda (YUCK!)

Note to self-Lock your car doors not just at home but where ever you go.

Madison started playing on the AF girls lacrosse team. She is really enjoying lacrosse and has made a lot of good friends.

Madison also had her first date last night. I should get some pictures soon. They (Madison and "This Boy" went with two other couples to the Saddies dance. It sounded like they had a fun time.

Christian traveled to Maryland this month for some training.

We have had a few sick kids this month. It's one of those sicknesses that have been hard to get rid of.

We have kindergarten shots coming up this week. Jordon has been begging me for a couple of weeks to call and make an appointment for His kindergarten shots. I've never seen anyone so excited for shots. I hope he is excited when the day for them comes.

Trenton and Brooklon get braces soon. Brooklon has a count down to the day. She is so excited. I don't know how excited Trenton is.

We have been busy making valentines/valentine boxes.

We have had play dates and parties. We have Moms and Muffins and Dads and Donuts this next week. And most important we have a birthday coming up. Marons! So stay tuned for all the excitement. You'll have to see the cake she has picked for me to make.??????
