Did you enjoy the Olympics?

We really enjoyed the Olympics this year. The kids were enthralled. Ryne loved the snowboarding, they all loved the speed skating, and the girl's loved the figure skating. One night while we were watching the pairs figure skating Kate made a keen observation. She said, "the difference between the men and the women skaters is that the man lifts weights." And then she stopped and thought a little longer and goes, "except the weight is a LADY!"

Very Good Advice

This is what Ryne brought home today. For their spelling tests they have a dictation portion. The sentence they were to write was, "I should brush my teeth when I finish eating sugar." Ryne wrote, "I should brush my teet when I finish eating sugar." I can't believe she marked that wrong!

I wonder

I wonder if, with eyes that big, he can see more of the world than the rest of us.

a little something for my frigid friends

Since it's hard to read I'll translate "59 degrees" and so sunny.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year!

O Holy Crap

Cute Kids

When we were in Utah over Thanksgiving we decided to have some family pictures taken by the fabulous Lindsay. I just love how they turned out. Thank you Lindsay!
