Cruisin

Last week we went on our Christmas Cruise. We met Grandma & Grandpa for a fun filled week! We went to the Children's Museum and Clearwater Beach Sunset in Tampa. We boarded the Carnival ship and ate, miniature golfed, went down the water slide, ate, went to shows, played spades, answered trivia (Grandpa won ship on a stick and Jeff won a ribbon), ate, went to Grand Cayman and Stingray City (very cool), ate, went to Cozumel and Tulum where Helaman gave us a tour of the ruins (amazing), and ate.
What a wonderful week filled with priceless memories!

Happy Day Nick

We love you Nicholas!

What a beautiful day!

Heart to Heart Race

Our elementary school's 5k and 1 mile run

A favorite family tradition...

Brandon won 3rd place over all in the mile run!

For posterity sake, here's LeAnn's 1st place medal in the 5k age group. Lucky for me, all the fast runners my age had other plans:)
What a fun morning with the boys (Kurt was camping).
Look forward to next year's heart to heart!

Pinewood Derby

A favorite day around our house. Nick was the lucky "scrubby" scout racing this year. He named his car "the pine pearl".
Nick's thoughts: "I liked the stickers and
I won first place with Daddy's help."

Looking forward to 2012 and 2 Austin cars again:)

Laundry Baskets

We love snow/ice days!
Oh, the things you can do with a laundry basket:)

Please let tomorrow be a snow day too!

Happy New Year

Since we've celebrated most of the holidays
this year a day early, had to follow suit.
Happy 2011!

Here's to another sparkling year!

Corn Hucking

"Uncle" Mike & family made/gave us a cool game for Christmas.
Basically you huck corn bags and try to get them in a hole.
There's a point thing too, but my goal as of now is to get the bag
to hit the big white board. The boys love it!

Thank you for the "corny" game "Uncle" Mike!
