February Madness

I know that when you think of basketball and madness, you think of March Madness - but at our house right now - it is February Madness. Spencer, Ethan and Tanner are all playing on different teams at different times and sometimes different places (what was I thinking)...here are some action shots
I know that last time I posted BBall shots - I left Spencer out...I took some great pictures, but most of them either have Tanner's head in them (he tries to get in the picture) or have Elise's hand (she is trying to grab the camera). I will do better this next game to get some better pictures of him - but here's one of him shooting free throws!
Tanner shoots and scores!
Ethan's picture were posted last time - I need to get more of him too! By the time I get them to their games on time with the right jersey and water bottle (and then water and snacks for the kids not playing) - I realize that I have left the camera on the kitchen cupboard again - my bad!

A Box full of Fun

A box full of very fun games and cool toys arrived from Washington...we play Hisss at least 3 times a day - and Spencer loves to "experiment". Thanks for the fun Aunt Jen!

Great Wolf Lodge

We had a great trip to Great Wolf Lodge...here are a few pictures of our fun!

A picture of the fort that they played on...Spencer and Tanner are there waiting for that bucket to drop water on them (see the picture below) The boys spent most of the time going up the stairs to go down the slides. My legs hurt just watching them run around. Everytime Tanner would come down a slide, he would say - "That was awesome!" Spencer and Tanner loved to stand under the bucket of water as it dumped 1000 gallons of water. Dallen loved "wimming", but also loved to play with all the "water toys" - he had a blast! Elise loved to play in the water - she especially loved the fountains! Besides playing at the waterpark, the boys loved to play the game "Magiquest". They each got a magic wand and had use them to find different things in order to receive runes. Once they collect all the runes, the got to "fight" a dragon - Ethan thought this was the best part of the whole trip!

Elise's New Trick



For some reason, Elise loves to pull the diaper wipes out of the box...if she can spot a box of wipes on the floor - it is a guarantee that they will be all over the place. As she would say..."Uh-Oh"
