it's here

yikes...is it summer yet?

We also rollerblade in the basement and shoot pucks. Winter in WI!

game time

What to do when the Polar Vortex is here...play games inside.

We Love Snow...not

This driveway is no joke when it comes to snowplowing. Thankful for the help of cute kids...even if they play more than work. 

Slave labor! 

Legacy Luau Meet MN

We were on the road this frigid weekend headed to MN for a meet. 

And man did we all have fun. 

The venue was huge, there was liquor served and we pulled off a win 

 Game time

 Meet scores - Bars 8.65, Beam 8.7, Floor 8.45, Vault 8.0

 This is probably Rowan's most consistent meet yet, and to bring it home in MN is awesome.

Can't forget the mini pool that we took over at the hotel also.  

 Before the meet chaos.

After the meet, we ordered in Mexican, best.idea.ever! 

snow fun

After cleaning up after more snow, we decided to try out our hill. And Eddie decided to sport his WB winter hat! Kids had fun despite the cold. 

 Not a bad sledding hill considering.

 Rosy cheeks and all. We went down all 3 of us together...didn't end very well. 

games and project time

Pretty standard weekend...starting in the rink.

Followed by a trip to Home Depot...we are ready to order cabinets for our family room!

Pictures of our current cabinets and attempt at finding something to coordinate for in family room.

This is what our family room looks like now, we plan to add base cabinets and shiplap on both sides of the fireplace. 

What we found at HD to work?

And then you go to the grocery store and find all these new oreo flavors...Smith's have to try them. 

smart pup

Lesson learned...don't leave any clean, soft, comfy bedding laying on the floor. Gizmo will find it and make it his new bed. Too cute. 

who's in charge?

We were lucky enough to help with Luke for a bit tonight while Amanda and Peter took Blake to urgent care to get checked out. Ed met them at the urgent care and brought Luke to our house...and this is where I found them when I got home. Seems Uncle Ed has things handled. 

Fox Cities Tournament

We were in Appleton for the weekend for a hockey tournament with the Red 2 Warhawk Team. 

The boys played great! Ended up playing the other Red Waukesha team in the final game. 

Kids all had fun in the pool too, no injuries despite the continuous runs down the slide.

 Eddie, Jake and Zach

 Rowan was the only girl in the sea of boys for 500

 Our hockey all star

 Getting in it in the corner

 The team with our make shift Stanley cup!
