Blazer vs. Laker Date Night

Every once in awhile Casey's boss gives him his Blazers tickets. I love to go when we get these because they are so close up, you can see the players so good. We went to a game that Shaq was playing at and it was so crazy to see these famous players up close! So this time we got the Blazer/Laker tickets! I have to say Shaq was more entertaining that Kobe. But the Blazers totally won and we got Chaloupas! Fun!

New Years

On New Year's eve we invited my parents over for a yummy seafood and fondue dinner. My parents brought the lobster, prawns, and crab legs and I made a cheese fondue with yummy breads. My dad is on this checkers kick and he and my mom played checkers with Brooklyn. Brooklyn also had this idea of putting confetti in balloons and popping them at midnight.
On new years day we took all our r.c. cars to the church gym and raced them and played a little soccer and basketball with the kids. (They needed the exercise after being couped up in the house all break!)


Cody decided to show us his acting skills. He climbed up on the counter and crossed his legs and folded his arms and stuck out his lip. Then looked up and laughed at himself. It was so funny! Of course when the other kids saw how amused we were by it they had to do it too!

Christmas Memories

Christmas is way over but I need to record some of my memories from this year.
Christmas eve morning Nathan threw up, but was fine the rest of the break, but we were a little nervous to go anywhere because of it.
We did spend Christmas eve at my parents. We acted out the Nativity. My mom went all out with a script and all. Brooklyn and I made the Inn, and my mom made a stable. We had our traditional chili for dinner. My mom's homemade chili. Yumm! Then we watched our homeade Christmas movies. This years theme seemed to be monsters. Nathan was so scared! Heidi and Logan's movies had "boglins" in them, and was so freaked but couldn't look away!
Christmas morning after opening presents my parents came over for lunch. I also roped my dad into helping us set up our new TV. We just spent the day at home relaxing and playing our new Wii.
