I don't know about you but after Christmas, I am ready to be DONE with the snow!!! We got a couple of good storms in January- the boys had fun playing in the snow and NOT so much fun helping shovel driveways!! Even Maggie got all bundled up and joined in the fun!
Brian, however, thinks it is AWESOME that the boys are old enough to "start helping out around here"!!! They do pitch in a lot and have shoveled not only our sidewalks and driveway, but many of our neighbor's driveways as well. Paden has made the comment about how "we'd never make it without a snowblower"! I think my Dad would beg to differ! I remember plenty of snow storms in North Ogden and we NEVER had a snow blower!! Ahh, the good ole' days, right Dad??
Oh no... not Valentine's Day boxes, AGAIN!! URGH!! I seriously HATE when the boys have to come up with something to put their valentines in! Everything about Valentine's Day is "pink, love & lace doilies"!! Pretty much the exact OPPOSITE of my boys' personalities! It makes it tough to make a box that is somewhat "masculine"! This year, I was so proud of Grif... he came up with this idea for a rocket all by himself and it turned out great! Way to go Grif!! Now THAT is masculine!!
Grif played in a 3 on 3 basketball tourney last month- they did GREAT! They would've taken the whole thing but someone complained that they were a "stacked team" and too good for this tourney! So, we settled for the "consolation bracket"!
I made these basketball cakepops for the team- they were edible.... even the black marker used for their numbers was "edible ink"! After his basketball league ended, we had a celebratory dinner for another great season of Dolphin Basketball!
Brian was the asst. coach this year and Grif really enjoyed having him help out! Coach Curt and Coach Brian did a great job with these boys- We got beat out in the semi-finals so we were 10-1 overall....Pretty dang good record!
