Haley and Eden Cheer Clinic

Hey, family... I recorded some phone video from Haley and Eden's Cheer clinic, next Monday they are cheering at the girls basketball game for Liberty High. I'll try and record some there also.

Also I took some phone video from Haley's School music group's performance at the local minor league Hockey game.....

Thanksgiving at the Cabin

Our first Thanksgiving at the cabin was wonderful. Great pies made by Chris, Haley and Eden. Some sleigh riding. A well written and acted play by all the kids. Decisions made by the men. Let's have a little less shut up around here. Post your pictures! I love you all.

Building the new fort!

Everyone worked hard on the new fort at the cabin. It looks great. Checked it just the other day and all is still perfect.

Vacation Starts

well, thanks to the core of engineers and suv owners, our first day of travel to near mount rushmore was across roads untravelled by us and due to I29 being closed in several places along our route we did it pioneer style. our first day of travel proved that you dont need a freeway to get places in america. we are staying at a koa outside interior south dakota for our first night anx plan on visiting mt rushmore, andd wall drug tomorrow.

At the zoo

My house is almost put back together. Thanks to dad for the bedroom set and Joe and Chris for being my moving men. I'm excited for Joe and Steph's sealing on the 24th and excited to see everyone. Meg and Chris were here last week and we went to the zoo on Saturday. Can you find the real monkies?

A New addition to the Family!!!

Here it is the new ASUS Transformer.... Based on the Android Honeycomb OS which totally kicks but over the iAnything.

I did not purchase the keyboard docking station... I'm in a wait and see mode on that one.

Here is a picture comparing the ASUS and the iWhatever. The biggest difference in form factor for the Android tablets is they are truly in a 16:9 aspect ratio for viewing movies, where the iThing must still use something that isn't 16:9 (this is widescreen vs tv stuff) - but it means that it isn't as cool.

The iTablets are a bit better in my opinion from a pure e-reader perspective, the are more like a real page where the Androids feel a bit skinny in that area.

Anyway... I'm still trying to ignore Carries eyes as they roll, and roll, and roll.

Put your heads together?

Me and Hannah and Lexi were all putting Lexi's big girl bed together last night. I was getting a little frustrated because those things are not the easiest to figure out without the instructions! Hannah kept asking me "You okay mommy?" I would say "No, I need your daddy so he can do this or we need to put our heads together and figure this out." Hannah would just blink and say "okay mommy, I'll be right back." Then she would zoom off to one thing or another. Until the time she decided to jump really high, right into my head. We both immediately broke into tears, followed by Lexi who had no idea why we were crying, she just does everything Hannah does even if it is crying. I got the bed together in the end, even though I was a little dizzy the rest of the night. I can imagine how Hannah must have felt. Poor thing.
