Loving some Strawberries!

Fresh cut strawberries, sprinkled with splenda...yummy!

Radio Station Visit

The Tiger cubs are required to do a series of "go see its" for boy scouts. Today, was the radio station where they got to learn the ins and outs of how the radio station works and even got to talk into a radio and hear how their voices can be manipulated.

A Nice Soak

We were having a nice lazy Sunday and I really felt like soaking in the hot tub. Thomas came out and joined me, it was nice and quiet till the kids found us!

Visit with Cousin Marijka

Liz, JT, and Marijka came for a visit today. We had a great time to include a Nerf gun fight where everyone got in on the action! Liz and JT came this way because they really wanted to go to Campbells Kitchen so of course we had to go get dinner there!

Snow Day!

We didn't get much snow, but with cold temperatures and snow we got some nasty roads. Nasty enough to close schools and give us a nice four day weekend!

Snow!

I know its still early in the winter season, but I was really thinking we weren't going to see snow this year. Instead, we saw snow today! Snowed most of the day, the kids at school were CRAZY! By the time the boys got home we had a nice little dusting and Tanner and Tapanga wanted to play in it!

Whats for dinner?

Tonight was another dinner of various items. Hot dogs, steak, bratwurst, pancakes, noodles, green beans...oh my!

Skate Night

Every month Liberty has a skate night and tonight was it! This was actually the first one we went to. And this was actually only our second time skating, the first was at the Nolan's birthday party in September, but the kids had so much fun then I thought they would enjoy it again! There was a lot of falling down, but there was also a lot of getting back up! As I watched the kids they looked they were having so much fun I decided I wanted to get out and join them! Thomas is a natural, me on the other hand not so much, but I tried! (Picture of me didn't come out so well!)

Pancakes for Dinner

I am NOT someone that likes to have breakfast for dinner! Tonight I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner and I was craving pancakes, but Thomas and I are on a diet...no pancakes for me! I did make pancakes for the kids and Thomas cooked hot dogs and bratwurts on the grill for us!

Lunch with the In-Laws

Mike and Diann watched the kids for us last night and invited us to join them for lunch today at Red Lobster. Yummy lunch! Sorry for the poor picture quality it's from my phone!

Date night

Thomas and I were able to go out tonight just the two of us! I had read the dragon tattoo series and really enjoyed it and wanted to see the movie so that was stop number 1. After the movie we tried the adults only restaurant in town before going grocery shopping. The movie was pretty good it followed the books closely. The restaurant was ok, but to pricey for the quality.

Same name

Today I had a doctors appointment and as I was leaving I saw the listing of other doctors in the building, one of which is named Thomas Doyle. That's Thomas' name, weird I know but I found it funny! Too bad my Thomas doesn't earn a doctors salary.

Mommies shoes

Tapanga decided to prance around in my slippers this evening!

Fixing things with grandpa

Tonight we went to Grammie and Grandpas house for dinner and the kids were surprised with new toys! The boys got remote control trucks but when they turned a certain way they would catch and couldn't move. The idea to fix them was to get a file and file them down and that's what they did!

LEGOS!!

Tanner loves his Legos. Today we lounged around the house on our last day of vacation and the boys played with the Legos most of the day. Today's objective find all the Lego people in the bucket, total found was 55!

After Holiday Shopping

On Saturday, we went to Hobby Lobby to pick up a picture I had framed, I noticed that there holiday stuff was 66% off and just that day I thought about buying a 2nd tree for the kids upstairs. They had a nice pre-lit one with colored lights but I didn't want to pay more than a hundred for it, even though this was the only one left. I was told that if I came back Monday morning all holiday stuff would be 80% off. So that was the plan Thomas decided to join me and we got there right after they opened, unfortunately someone got to my tree first! When the kids came in she willingly gave the tree to us, for the kids! To our surprise they had two brand new ones in the back and it was both of our lucky days!

A New Year, Another Attempt!

Hello 2012! I will be attempting the "picture a day" challenge again this year! I didn't do awful last year on this challenge, but I did a bad job of updating the blog, but I got way behind on my regular blog also! I am just going to take pictures of stuff going on around the house and within the family. I downloaded the Blogger app and can also update my blog from my phone, maybe this will help me be successful this year!
