100th Day of school


January 26th is the 100th day of school for Kade. His teacher had his class do a homework assignment that consisted of finding 100 things around the house and sharing them with the class or making something and sharing it with the class. I suggested sugar cubes to Kade and he loved the idea. Last night we glued the 100 cubes to a file folder and used food coloring to spice it up a little. I took Kades picture this morning before he left. He has had a cold and he looks a little sick but this is his project.

The Snow JAK!!!!!!!



Kade and his sno/scooter! Today before practice we went to Washington park and tried out our new sled. It was so fun.... Kade was a little reluctant until he got the hang of it. His good buddy Matthew also got one for Christmas so they were in heaven. We are going again today.

CHRISTMAS........ HOLIDAY BOWL......NEW YEARS!!!!!

First things first! Christmas was so exciting this year. I could not wait for Kade to unwrap his gifts. He also was very excited. He asked for a snojack....(aka a sno scooter/snowboard) dominoes, chia pet, nintendo ds game and much much more! He was so excited Christmas morning..... most favorite gift was his CHIA PET! The kid loves growing things. This year he spent the week before Christmas with me and on Christmas day he went with Danny to spend the 2nd half of the break with him.

Second...... Christmas night in all the snow I flew to San Diego with Bowl Games of America. After being delayed three hours for deicing and snow removal from the run ways we were on our way. For those of you whom I did not tell I was doing this personally, this was a job that a friend asked me to help her staff. Amy Ursenbach (Campbell) event director from Bowl Games of America, her company produces the half time shows for 8 of the bowl games across the nation. The Holiday bowl was her event. After years of planning and coordinating it came together so well. It was a great experience and definetley "NO TIME FOR SARCASM!!!!" This was our little joke amongst Amy, her husband Jeremiah and myself. It was go go go all the time and we still found time to crack funnies and enjoy ourselves. This is a picture of Amy and myself sitting behind the bands taking a little breather before we began bringing the 16 schools of bands onto the field for the half time show.
Lastly..... New Years! On New years eve I was flying home from San Diego however once I got home I went and had sushi YUM YUM and celebrated at the sushi bar. New years day my family celebrated our Christmas party because I was out of town for so long they had it when I got home. Kade came over for the day at my parents and we played the bloomer game, ate yummy food, played do or die with the foam dart guns, and those of you who know Linda..... games, games, games! Then I drove back that night to Price to a driveway full of snow that took me nearly three hours to clear! YEAH! I will have more pictures once I get them. Happy New Year ALL!!!!!
