V-Day

We had a great dinner at home for Valentine's Day. Nikki and Adam were over and we hired Max to be our server, and yes he earned tips. We had chicken, rice, roasted potatoes, rolls and red velvet cake for dessert. Later on we played games with Nikki, Adam, Erika and her boyfriend Derek. The last picture is of our cat Flip, he was laying front of the window this morning, longing for spring as we all are...

Icebergs on the Chippewa River

With the nice mild temperatures we have had lately, the rivers are starting to melt, breaking up the ice and creating "icebergs". I saw this yesterday at the Water Street bridge and it was pretty cool.

Max's School Program

2/10/09 was Max's school performance. This is his last year at Lakeshore, next year he is on to middle school. It was themed sailing & sailors. The did singing and dancing. I have a short video clip of his dance, the music is from Pirates of the Caribbean.  There are few pictures here also to look at. We were sitting way at the top of the bleachers so the pictures aren't the best.

Here is the short video, Max is in the white shirt doing the "sword fight".

Family Dinner Day

Here are some pictures from our monthly family dinner. We had great Italian food, spaghetti and meatballs, bread, and of course cookies and cake. Kenalee made a huge chocolate raspberry cake. That was her payment for using mom and dad's laundry facilities and internet to chat with her boyfriend T-Bo who lives in France. 

We also played around of Disney's "Scene It" and Justine won, by a hair... which she had Carrie wax off of her big toe, but I wasn't allowed to post that picture.

Kenalee's master piece, chocolate and raspberry cake.

Blue & Gold

We had Max's Blue and Gold banquet this morning. He has now officially graduated from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. There was of course lots of great food!!

Max signing the "bridge" to Boy Scouts. All the boys sign it each year, its pretty cool.

Fireplace Revived!

So we have this really cool old fireplace in our dining room that we have cleaned and cleaned trying to get it to stand out. My wife saw the exact same one on an HGTV show and they painted it. So she decided to do the same. She paints everything, so not a challenge for her. See the results below, it looks great! And really brings out the detail.

Seminary Fun

The early morning seminary kids had a rocking activity this weekend. Food, Guitar Hero, movies, it was a lot of fun.
