Winter 2015-16

Winter adventures...

11/8/15. Boot hockey at Xcel. Always a fun time of activity with friends. After this one though we found out that a fall Noah took caused a concussion. Oops. In for a long haul. 

Malms bowling party

Went to see Blue Man Group at Orphium in December. They are so cool. Great show! 

"Before pics of Noah's room. Redone over winter break. 

Noah and his friends put sweat equity into painting.

Later he and Sam added a theater with an old projector. Creativity! 

Painting continued into our bedroom too. 

Yes Brent and I painted too...just didn't paint ourselves. 

After

And there was a Wild Hockey Game with a great group:

And a silly kitty

And a lazy pup:

Noah and I had our first part on the new Midweek Meeting program. Fun memories. 

And hung with friends

And had snowy days

And did a fun family worship craft project

Baxter had to defend his yard against the neighbor deer:

Noah did a great multimedia presentation for Youth Conference at school. 

And he turned 14!!

Had more friend time ...they clean up well. 

Moving on to Spring!!

February 2014...still massive MN Winter

February is the shortest month but always feels busy and flies by. We are still in the deep of Winter and after January's deep freeze it was still not letting up much. Another snow day for schools even (6 for the year now I think?!). So not much for outdoor activity but here are a few RaNdOmS from the month...

We had a visitor to the woods on a Saturday afternoon. Dropped in for lunch of some sort. Cat noticed the Eagle first. Stayed quite a while then flew off so gracefully. Cool!!

Newest pet...Mr Smee who is now living with Captain Hook in the tank

I worked from home a day and this was my lunch break. (Snow day for school)

Movie night. We used a computer projector to watch a DVD on the livingroom wall. Snacks and movie = fun night 

Us doing our movie night

Progress on the Metrodome coming down (so weird to see the lot emptying)

Selfie with long hair...to chop, or not to chop...that is the question!

Huge snow banks hide our house!!

Visitor at work! ;)

Had to get rid of the winter blahs...

This is how band practice goes nowadays...Smart Music assignments. So different than in my old school days!
