We were invited to Chucke Cheese by Jeff & Beth! Not our favorite location to spend a Saturday afternoon but as you can imagine the kids LOVE it!

We all had fun!

Destiny; McKenzie; Gabe; Braden; Kerstin & Sid!

WINTER FUN!!!

Today it snowed again but is a bit warmer! McKenzie set out to build a monster fort! Her wimpy sisters gave up and came inside but McKenzie kept working! (with a lot of help from Daisy!)

unfortunately, the fort isn't finished and she's coloring and watching a movie now!

Maybe we can finish it tomorrow....

Daddy is off on a snowmobile poker run and I'm sure in the height of his glory today! He's been dyeing to ride and so grouchy when he can't!

McKenzie did a great job at her BBall game today and only has one more game this season!

Our fun Sunday visit to BUILD A BEAR!
Thanks Uncle Ron for a great Christmas gift!
McKenzie made a basketball dog--Kerstin made a tie-died color bear and Sidney did Pooh!

More photos from Payton's visit!

It was so great to see them! We never have enough time! :(

We took time to have all the grandkids photographed for V-Day and it turned out spectacular!

April tried to give Payton a bath at our house and had tons of helpers!

SIDNEY JO!
Always doing something to make us smile!

I must say I' m pretty disappointed in what a "blizzard" actually is...Nothing more than a little snow and wind! It did get me out of work today so that was nice!

It also deters little Daisy from going outside to do her business!! She almost blows away!

Here is a photo of her and Sidney avoiding bed time! Sid was almost asleep and Daisy was trying hard too! It's hard to see sine I used my camera phone! I was trying to be quiet and sneaky!

Payton and April came for a visit! It's so great to see them!

Meet our newest family member--Daisy!
Since we lost Charlie we have been trying to find a dog that would be a good "fit" for our family!

We were looking for something small but yesterday we received a call from the Animal protective league about a couple of puppies. When we arrived at the home where they were kept it was more horrible! They had a total of 8 dogs and 3 were being kept outside (Daisy was one)! It's like 20 below in Ohio or something crazy like that! She needed a home and a family to love her!! She is a mutt w/ schnauzer and maybe some retriever or lab or shelitie (we don't really know)! She is very calm so far and the girls love her! My dad was with us and I'm so shocked he didn't take the other puppy! Although, I think mom would have killed him!

This week Sid had her first hair cut! She LOVED IT!


Kerstin and Daddy play at McKenzie's basketball game!

McKenzie was the first one announced and out on the floor today for the Lady Bears! She did a great job!
