Merry Christmas

We wish all of our friends and family a Merry Christmas.  The holiday season has been spent with Christmas programs and decorating.  One of our family traditions is taking a picture of the kids putting the star on the top of the tree with their festive hats on.  This year was no different except they insisted Grimm be part of it.  He was not too happy to be wearing his hat!!

Basketball 2013

Madeline joined the middle school basketball team.  The season was real short finishing before Christmas break.   There were lots of games during the week so we did lots of traveling.  She had a good season and we saw much improvement from her.  She is looking forward to playing again next year.

Halloween 2013

This year Kyler was Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for Halloween.  It was a beautiful day for trick or treating.  The day started with the elementary school Halloween parade, which Madeline participated in by marching in the band dressed as Santa Claus.

A Dream Come True

Travis had the opportunity of a lifetime… attend a Green Bay Packer football game at Lambeau Field.  He went with his brother and two nephews.  He was so excited and took in all he could.   Prior to the game they toured the facility and he met a man who was a member of the Board of Directors during the last championship Super Bowl team.  The man let Travis put on his Super Bowl ring for a picture!   It was a rainy day but the rain let up for the game.  The day was even better with a Packers win over the Washington Redskins.  

Visit From The Tooth Fairy

Kyler was so excited to finally lose his first tooth.  He was worried that he would never lose any teeth and the tooth fairy would never visit.  

Flag Football

This year Kyler played flag football through the YMCA.  He was so excited to finally be on a football team.  He mostly played guard but his favorite position was getting to play center.  He also really liked playing defense.

Cross Country

Madeline participated in cross country this fall.  She did very well and placed in most of her meets.  Her division ran a mile in competition.  For preparation she ran two days a week during the summer at 6:30 a.m.!!  We were really proud of her dedication and it paid off as her time reduced throughout the season.
