The start of the year was cold and involved a lot of snow, ice and snow/ice related sports
Sledding at Liberty Hill, the biggest hill around.
We get awfully tired going up that hill. Peter really likes hitting the mogul section of the hills, leads to shins full of bruises!
The weekend after Christmas we headed up to Gma Jill and Gpa Don for some northwoods fun. It is hard to play broomball when you have a black lab always stealing your ball.
Dont these kids look cute....naw, I think they look really cold, but the will sleep well tonight!
Well Jamison....any fish in there?
Uncle Culley sent us a beautiful picture he took on the lake. We found the perfect home for it. Thanks Donna and Uncle Culley!
It has been over a year since the tooth fairy has come to this house. Peter worked really hard on this one, he even pulled it out himself!. Crazy Toothfairy story....so Peter put his tooth under his 26 pillows and had his security guards working all night. There was a polar bear, raccoon, wolf and a black lab puppy guarding the tooth. Peter wakes up in the morning in tears because his tooth is gone but there was no money under the pillows. We shook the blankets, moved the pillows and questioned all the cuddle friends and we still could not find any money. Peter went to Wacky, the hamster, to see if he saw anything and there was the envelope of cash, in front of the cage. We started thinking what could have happened and we came up with a couple theories.
1. the cuddle friend guards scared the tooth fairy and she dropped the envelope in front of the hamster cage, except for the black lab puppy, he probably just licked her to death.
2. The tooth fairy was startled by the hamster, as we know they are more active at night.
3. The tooth fairy was interested in the hamster wheel and wanted to try it out...then ran out of time and had to hustle on out of there. I guess we will never know what really happened. Only the tooth fairy, Wacky, the hamster, and the cuddle friends will ever know the truth. The important thing is that Peter got his 2 gold dollars.
We started Peter's crystal growing experiments. It never fails...you get an itchy nose right after you put on the gloves. We hope to see some rubies growing in 10 days. Peter promised to make me some jewelry.
And finally, our third annual Iron Chef competition. Secret ingredient.....CARROTS.
The appetizers and main course were the best yet! and by only a 1.5pt difference...Jamison won! I think it was the carmelization on the carrots and his "biscuit jammers" that edged Peter out.! Great job boys!
