Brent's basketball






Brent's #12 in the orange-he's blocked in the left pic, standing in the middle and him turning/running on the last pic. He seems to really like it-something different. They've won 1 game and lost the 2nd-only by 1 point! He's one of the taller kids-great for getting rebounds. It's fun to watch him!
Well, we're off again today. We were supposed to have a 90 minute delay but that changed to 'closed.' Maddy & Brent were excited-Hayley's not up yet :) Not surprised-she has teen sleeping habits. Plus her light was on last night so I think she was reading one of her new Nook books. We broke a record yesterday. We got 5.6 inches of snow. We didn't have snow before-it melted last week. So that's all we have and broke the 4.8 inch record. It's pretty cold, so the streets froze. It's warming up after today again back in the middle 30's. Great day to be off! Now we've used our 3 snow days, so we better not need anymore.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, snow day











Happy 2011!!! We had a terrific xmas! Gma/gpa were here! Santa came with all kinds of gifts-Legos, sock monkeys, etc for Brent & Maddy. Hayley got a phone and a Nook!! I think she had a great xmas ;) It was fun to hang out with gma/gpa over break. Went to lunch, ran fun errands, etc. Jake got a new squeaker too. We played Tripoly and Apples to Apples on New Year's eve and everyone stayed up to see the ball drop!
Then it's back to school..........we had a 4 day week last week and this week. Today we're off for a snow day and we hadn't gotten any snow and they called a snow day. It's been snowing now all day and we have about 6 inches.
The 2nd qtr is over in school. Hayley has all A's and Brent & Maddy did great too! I can't believe the year is 1/2 over.........where does time go?
Brent starts Lacrosse next week. They have clinics for a few weeks and then practice starts. With all of his pads, etc he looks like a football player!
More on basketball........
