last night of 2007

Uncle Louie and I got the movie "Underdog" to watch with the kids. They like having what we call a sucker party. We get a movie, everyone gets a sucker and we watch the movie together. Happy New Year!!

Christmas Vacation

We don't have many pictures of the kids' Christmas. Before leaving for Rapid City the kids opened gifts early so they'd have time to play with them. (Us adults had fun with them too!)
The kids then spent many days in Rapid City with their mom at Rosa's house. They brought home lots of fun things and good memories. Here the kids are playing with what is called Moon Sand. It's pretty cool stuff and they have lots of fun "in" this stuff!!

School Days

Ashley had a special day at school were family and friends were invited to see the handwriting and stories the students had written. We all were treated with milk and Christmas cookies. Proud of you Ashley and keep up the good work!

I love this and the kids were so excited.....

They went out to play in the snow and decided to make a snowman. Because the snow won't make into a ball they just put a bunch of snow on the sidewalk and made a face in it. They were so happy with what they had made. Because I took the picture days after it was created you can't tell they used raisins and a carrot. Who says a snowman has to be made out of little snowballs?!

Just enough snow to have fun in.

No, Uncle Louie did not drop the shovel full of snow on Ashley's head. They were good helpers in getting the sidewalk and driveway cleared. Thanks Ashley and Michael.

Another haircut for Michael...

He's a good sport!
And it gets itchy....The shower felt good!

Visiting the Capital at Christmas time.

So glad we made it to the Capital this year. It looks so pretty and smells so good. The kids had us hiking up to the fourth floor to enjoy the sites from the top too. (Was good for us. :-) )Sorry the pictures aren't in very good order, for I didn't take the time.
