More Spring Concert

This video is of the K-3rd grades singing a couple songs.  Alexa (pink skirt), Dakota, Colter, and Devan are in the middle front row.  Austyn is above Devan and Aidan is on the left side second row.  Hope you can find them all Grandpa Hawaii!

Spring Concert, Hula Hoop

The Elementary grades had a hula hoop contest and the winners had to perform at their Spring concert.  The 2nd grade winners were Dakota, Colter and their cousin Devan.  I have never had such a good time at concert before!

Happy Holidays!!

All the stockings are hung and the presents are wrapped...phew another December flew by. The weather has been below zero here for over two weeks. We really wanted snow for Christmas, but with the temps this cold we can't let the kids out for too long or at all. Eric found an old John Deer snowmobile, so we are hoping to entertain the kids with rides for Christmas. Well I have to yet again go put on my black and white referee shirt and dissolve yet another tiff...Happy Holidays to you all!

Basketball season

Last weekend was the first Basketball game of the season. We enjoy going to the games. The kids like it too...concessions, running around, etc. Brings back memories. There are two Varsity games, girls and boys. Each half time the kids can shoot free throws for a chance to win a 2 liter pop ($1 per try). Colter made his shot, but Dakota did not. It is so hard when one is sooo excited and the other one is devastated. I hope they are in different sports :o) Jenna is into cheer leading for now, wonder where she gets that! I will have to find a bodysuit before she can wear it to the game. We got another several inches of snow last weekend unfortuneatly it rained prior to that and the roads are icy surrounding us. Good thing all my holiday shopping is done. You gotta love amazon!

Heading for the bus!

Dakota and Colter heading to their bus stop...they could go right out our front door, but they choose to walk down the road to Uncle Scott's unless we are running late :o) We had another beautiful snowfall yesterday. However, this snow was very wet and slushy. I had to throw yesterdays coats and snowpants in the dryer before they could head out the door this morning.

It is safe to say we cleaned out a few candy bowls!

The cousins minus a few (missing Emmie and Alexa)... you can say occasionally we are the talk of the town. We cleaned out more than one candy bowl. Eleven soon to be 12 kids (my sister-in-law Gayle is pregnant) with ages ranging from 10 to 2...we turn a few heads. We will have a new Linder/Fishell kid starting Kindergarten for the next five years. We are very blessed and are very grateful!

Dakota, Jenna a.k.a. "little stinker", and Colter
