Pumped for the Weekend! *UPDATED!*

We are going to Kansas City tomorrow to do some Christmas shopping and are staying with the Creamer's. As is tradition, we have a game night...girls vs. boys. Kelli just informed me the game of choice for the weekend is "Smart-Ass"...that sounds like something the boys might be able to win at! The last time we played a game, the boys ended up losing...and had to do a shot. There will be NO shot taking this weekend. I have learned my lesson!

***UPDATE*** The girls (who had one extra player than the boys) got their butts beat BAD!! Chris and Brett were amazing which brought up many cheating allegations. In the end, the girls accepted defeat ungraciously!

A Few New Family Pictures...

Here are just a couple of new pictures of the boys. We got a bunch taken last week and we got some good ones, and some not so good! These are of Griffin being,well, Griffin. Enjoy...

What is the difference?

Griffin is scared to death of Victor E. Tiger at the Fort Hays games! We went to the game on Saturday and Marcus convinced him to go give him a five, but he didn't go willingly. This was as close as we got. My question is...what is the difference between Willie and a tiger? Do you think he is picking up on his mother's hostility towards Fort Hays? (My degree says I graduated from FHSU since I took my last class from there, it bothers me.) We will try again tonight, I hope Sara gets some playing time. It was a blast watching her play on Saturday..3 points!! Yahoo!!

Slumber Party

Midnight Snack...

SNOW!!!!

Kaden, Marcus and Hannah spent the night on Thursday. The boys had the giggles late in the evening thanks to Chris. When we got up there was snow on the ground and the kids just couldn't resist a snowball fight.

Turkey Time!

We had Thanksgiving at my Brother-in-law's house on Thursday and Chris volunteered to make the turkey. (I volunteered for safer items like a veggie tray and rolls!) I was REALLY nervous since he has never conquered a turkey before. It turned out awesome and we ate like pigs. After Chan and Jackie's we headed to Ness City to celebrate with the Stoecklein's and Friday we went to Bazine to the Witthuhn side. Needless to say...we ate a lot!!

Happy Thanksgiving?

I finally got the tree up and decorated yesterday! Renae and I went nuts the day after Christmas last year buying everything we could get our hands on. I didn't know how much I bought until I got it all out this weekend...it didn't all fit on one tree! The other trees will go up eventually...the boys get to pick out a theme every year and decorate it how they want it. The last two years Gavin has had a Nascar Jimmie Johnson tree, and Griffin had a Winnie the Pooh tree with A LOT of encouraging from his mother. I doubt I have that much pull this year...we shall see! Chris got our lights up on the roof without a near death experience this year, I think it helped it wasn't snowing, and we had a ladder that actually reached the roof. Lessons Learned.

Back to the Future?

No comment until more info tomorrow...These are pics from 2005...nice hair??!! Was it raining?
