Green Inside and Out

We started off St. Patty's Day with some green waffles and green grape juice. Drew's favorite color is green so he thought it was great!

Showing off the green socks. Helpful hint: Make sure you wear PJ's with green in them so you don't get pinched!

Club Penguin Obsessed!

Okay Club Penguin is consuming our lives in the 9 and under category.

Even Drew know about puffles, card jitsu, box dimensions & cart surfing.Drew is holding a green puffle.

Brady's 9th Birthday

This year we rented the Community House and had a "fake snowball fight" for Brady's birthday. Brady came up with the idea himself. We tied white fabric to little rubber balls for the "snow" and made "igloos" out of cardboard and foam core sheets. The kids had a blast! Making "igloos".

Let the snowball fight begin!

The "igloos" are losing ground.

A snowball / monkey cake. You really have to wonder about the minds of 9 yr. old boys...

Rock Chalk Hoop Hop

As many times as I tell the boys that red and blue make purple, they still route for their Dad's team. On New Year's Eve, Brady and Camden went to the Jayhawk Holiday Clinic. (I really don't know who was more excited Darren or the boys?)

Basketball drills for the 1st graders. Camden is in here somewhere but I couldn't find him.

Hot Chocolate Time

What's better on a cold day than a friend to warm your heart
and a cup of cocoa to warm your belly?

Christmas ~ Round Three

We trekked to Garnett on the evening of Christmas Eve to spend time
at Darren's parents home with his sisters, brothers, spouses and kids.

Since Drew is the smallest grandchild (for now) he opened the first gift.
