Had another fun filled weekend. We got together with the "Leopolis Ladies" on Saturday for a night of roller skating and laughs. Even though we only go once or twice a year, the kids are getting a lot better, especially Lexi. I myself only took one fall, which wasn't bad for me either. It was when my sister Heather and I were skating hand in hand because she doesn't know how to roller skate. So we both went down together..laughing pretty hard trying to get up before our friends saw us. lol

Below is Lexi, Kendra, Taylor and Amara

The girls..Tracy, Heather, Jenny and me

On Sunday we tried our luck at sledding again. It was such a beautiful day and the sledding was great. We kept going down the hills with the jumps and watching each other come down one by one. I laughed so hard so many times..so much fun.

Amara, Tracy and Bryson

We went down as a train and almost took the guard out at the bottom because we got so much speed on that run.

The girls...

Jim took Heather's tube because it was better than his and then Heather was trying to get it back. Looks like Jim was winning.

All the kiddos..

Tracy and I trying to take pics..it was so bright that when I took my glasses off all I did was squint, but didn't want them on for the pictures. Not sure which was better..lol

Will didn't make it out of the parking lot and he was sleeping. With having the shortest legs, he did such a great job keeping up with everyone. I feel like I have been run over by a mack truck today. Wondering how everyone else is feeling that took some bad spills over those big jumps. I know Lexi was begging to get out of school today because she was so tired and sore as well. Thanks friends for making it such a fun weekend.

Basketball Camp...

This past week Lexi participated in a Little Rockets Basketball Camp. They had three practices to learn some fundamentals of the sport and then performed at the Neenah girls varsity game during half time show. It was a really nice program and taught her some of the basics. We didn't pay that much for the camp and she received a t-shirt and the Neenah Rockets new basketball she performed with. (Pics aren't the best quality..need to figure out how to take better pics in a gym.)

A new super hero?

Will's daycare was learning dental hygiene this week. They were asked to dress up as tooth super heroes. Of course the girls dressed up in their fairy outfits to be tooth fairies..so what to do for a boy? Will decided to wear his Buzz Lightyear costume and we put a tooth on the front and made him a tooth hat to wear. What is this super hero's name you ask? Meet Mega Molar.

Happy Valentine's Day...

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! The kids had fun opening their Valentine's from their school friends and also got lots of cards from our family. They are very loved. :)

Sledding...

With the temperatures expected to reach the high 30s today, we decided to take advantage of the warm weather and do some sledding. It sure beat the 25 below we had this past week. We had a great time..it was Will's first time to this sledding hill and he LOVED it. He said it was the best day of his life. lol
