Sorry No pictures:(

I would have a picture of Cort without his front two teeth, but Frank took the camera to Montana.

Frank went to Montana to go Ice Fishing with his brothers and some other close friends. The are up by Malta, the last time I talked to him they had not caught many fish, but they were having a lot fun. Hopefully he will come home with some good ice fishing pictures.

Thanks Ev!


The Schultz's sent the kids pillow cases that the kids could color. The kids had fun coloring them tonight. Cort is ready for me to set the color so he can sleep with it tonight. Thank you Ev!

Doll Maker


Last weekend Frank made a kid with some of Cort's close, he stuffed it with blankets and put a Halloween mask on it. The kids were pretty scared at first. Then after Frank took it apart so the kids could see that no one was really in there, they wanted to make their own. This is Cort's clone trooper he made. I was impressed with his work!

Snow Fort


Last night was a perfect night for playing in the fresh snow! I love it when you can see the snowflakes in the pictures.

We made a snow fort in the front yard, Cort loved being able to hide from Dad in a snowball fight!

Cort and Grace were sitting in the snow after getting ambushed by Dad! Today the temp got up to 39. We have lost almost all of the now out of the yard, now it is just all slush. Well with the snow gone it makes for a good time to go back to school.

Snowman Army Style


The temp warmed up enough to build a snowman. Cort did the finishing touches, the army helmet. Cort and I built him right outside his bedroom window, that way he will be able to enjoy Army Snowman til he melts away (or the wind blows him down).

Game Day


The day after Christmas was game day. We played lots of different games and the kids had a blast! The kids decided to play cribbage, notice no cards, they really just had fun moving the little green and red pegs.

We got in a good game of Sorry in. Grace started to get tired and was ready for the game to get over. I think it lasted about an hour. Frank was the big winner!

Out of all the games the favorite was Pass the Pigs. Thank you grandma Linda! The kids love to through the pigs around. We played it 4 different times.

We even broke out the old playstation and played Tretus for about 2 hours. It was a day of games. While we were playing all of the games it was snowing like crazy outside. We ended the day with a snowball fight outside. Now that is what the holidays are all about!
