2/28 - We had Blue and Gold banquet for cub scouts. We made a cake
with blue/gold, paper airplane and with Pack 708 and sort of badges. We
had fun doing it. they didn't really think Landon helped - he help
make the cake, do some of the design and helped me decide on icing
colors and where to put things.
Landon is now a Bear, which is cool. I have a feeling we will need to become more involved in the pack next few years.
Kasey
got to meet friend Violet who will be in her grade next year. They
colored together and were excited to have a playdate soon. Kasey came
back and said " I took her back to her parents".
2/24 - House keepers came and they rearranged all of the shampoos and
soaps in the shower. Kasey was in the shower and said something like
let me just rearrange these like they are supposed to be. She put them
in the order we normally have them. She's such our daughter :)
2/22 - This morning I went to work out, we had Landon's basketball
game - he seemed a little tired, got 1 basket. then we went to lunch at
Elkes. We hung out some in the afternoon. We did some Xbox Hip hop
which was fun. Then the boys went shopping for soccer stuff and Kasey
and I hung out watching some Despicable Me.
That night we had mother/son dance. 6 of us went to Mi Cocina with
are fun dates, and then headed to the dance. We had fun dancing and
doing a little singing.
2/21 - I was in Houston on business trip
and was able to stop in and see Aunt Georgia and Lorenda in hospital.
Sad it was there I saw them, but it was good to see them.
2/20 - Landon was upset that the tooth fairy didn't come. Funny that
Landon thought that her not coming means she is real. Luckily she came
that night and brought 2 dollar coins instead of the usual 1.
2/19 - Landon lost another tooth. We were watching TV and he just got it out.
2/15 - Landon had basketball game - he got 2 baskets and did well. I
went to work out afterwards so Greg took kids to Freebirds for lunch
without me... That afternoon we all went to Landon's baseball practice.
We left to go get ready. We took Landon to Patricks going away
gathering, we took Kasey to meet Grammy and Greg and I headed downtown
for Valentines Dinner at Perry's. It was a nice dinner - fixed menu
which we were not aware of. After dinner Greg had bought tickets to see
Richardson Symphony Orchestra play the music of John Williams. It was
great. They played music from Indiana jones, ET, Schindler list, Jaws,
The Cowboy, Star Wars. We had a really nice night.
2/12 - Kasey is very much into the movie Frozen. She plays it with
friends at school. She wants to see music videos all the time. We
listen to the soundtrack and she knows most of the words. She'll sing
it like the people in the movie did. It's really fun to see her get
into disney movies as much as I did when I was younger.
2/9 - We started off the day with breakfast and then went to see The
Lego Movie - Everything is Awesome. Fun movie for the whole family.
After the movie we went to Big Easy for quick lunch.
Then Greg dropped
kids and I off at Cosmic Jump for kids to play with Kearns and Littles.
The moms got to talk for an hour and the kids got to get some energy
out and play. Then Greg came back to pick us up and Greg and kids went
to drop off Scout for Food bags. During this time I was on the phone
with American to fix a schedule change American had made on our Brazil
flights.
After Greg took Patch to training and kids and I made dinner and
Dairy Queen blizzard. somehow they didn't turn out to good. We'll
have to try again. After dinner we played some Bunco. Landon won
because he got bunco.
2/8 - We had a busy day today. I went to work out. Then Landon had a
basketball game - he played a little tired but got 3 baskets. He got
some break aways and took the ball away a few times. Greg was coach
because the regular coach was out of town. After that we headed to
lunch. We all came home - Greg went to help set up Pinewood Derby, I
showered and got ready. I dropped Landon off with Greg, took Kasey to
birthday party and then headed back to watch the pinewood derby. Landon
made both a racing car and art car. In his age group, Landon got 2nd
place. He then got to race in top 12 of the entire pack. He ended up
7th overall with everyone with the race car. He was pretty excited.
His World Cup art car got 2nd in his age group. They will tell us who
won on the art cars at Blue and Gold end of the month. After pinewood
derby, we went to friends little girl's 1st birthday party. It was fun
to see them and catch up. Kasey was very excited to help her open
presents and play with her.
2/6 - We didn't have much phone service at the cabin, but few ladies
got something saying there was issue with their flights. Dallas was
getting snow. So we basically got up and started driving back about
8am. We had about a 4 hour drive to get back to the airport in North
Dakota. Of course with weather in Dallas our flight ended up getting
delayed about 4 hours. We did make it home but made for a long day.
Thankfully my parents were able to pick me up at the airport when I got
in after 10pm.
2/5 - After training our partner we were going ice fishing for the
10. There were 10 of us that went from my company and partner company.
We got up and left about 6am to drive to the lake. When we got there
we had a good breakfast - eggs, biscuit and gravy and fruit. Then we
headed out to the fishing huts. They were about 4 1/2 miles out onto
the lake. We had a few huts. We had two we were fishing in and 1 we
used as the bathroom. The bathroom was a heated hut with a 5 gallon
bucket with a trash bag in it. The ladies used that and the guys just
went outside the hut. We were listening to music, fishing and having a
few drinks and snack. I 4-5 fish - I think I caught the same one twice
:). After fishing most of the day, we headed back for some dinner and
then to big cabin for the night. We played cards against humanity and a
little poker.
2/2 - We let Greg take Patch to training while kids got ready for bed
and started watching the Super Bowl. Kasey watched for a while, and we
let Landon stay up to watch almost all of it. It was fun watching
commercials with them even though kids didn't get all the jokes. Landon
and I wanted Denver to win but that didn't happen.
2/1 - We had a busy but good day. Started with 9am basketball game
for Landon. He got 5 baskets and played pretty well. They get stars
at end of each game for how they did. He got an offensive one and
Christ Like white star which means the coach thought he showed being
Christ Like in the game.
When we got to the basketball game it was a little chilly but the
boys were ok in shorts and tshirts, when we left it was to cold. We
went home to change and then headed to baseball practice for Landon. I
left a little early to go to Zumba which was awesome.
The director of the kids preschool retired this week (Carol Thies) so
we went to little reception for her at the school. It was fun to see
old teachers. I created a little picture collage for her of the kids
through their years at AppleCreek - it was fun to see how much they have
grown.
Then we headed to Bavarian Grill for dinner which is a favorite of
mine and Greg's. Kids love the train and bread. Landon had Bratwurst
and Kasey had Schnitzel. Daddy even let us have dessert :)
