In January Crew goes to nursery while standing on Grandpa eating burgers. Cael's text worthies .

18 months came too fast and Crew was old enough to go to nursery. He wasn't a huge fan so Jer also got to go to nursery since I taught Brock's primary class.

Good sport Grandpa. Good sport.

Cael loves hamburgers. Especially hamburgers from A&W. Since there was an A&W just up the road from his preschool, we went on a few dates lunch dates after school. These lunches were Cael's favorites! I loved them too.

This sounds mean, but Cael was being an innocently honest four-yr-old. I couldn't help but laugh at his description.

And such generosity...

Derby Cars made of Pinewood and Speed

Troy's second and final pinewood derby and Brock's first! Troy chose the same design as his car from the previous year and Brock went with the sleek angle. Every car at this derby was fast! These farmers in Idaho know how to build a car;) Troy came in 4th and Brock rolled in 6th with hundredths of seconds separating the racers.

Snow Much in January?

(posted 4.6.18)

So. Much. Snow in January. It just kept coming. If I weren't familiar with the windy road I would have had a heart attack so many times. There was one day the first week the boys went back to school that I was seriously thinking about turning around and not take Cael to preschool because the roads were the worst I have been seen them. I think it took us 25 minutes to make the usual 15 minute drive just to find out that his preschool was cancelled. That same day it took our poor boys 1 hour 45 minutes to get home from school! The bus got stuck in the loading zone and again when the driver was being nice and drove some kids down their lane. The driver let Troy use her cell phone to call and let me know what was taking them so long. School was cancelled so many times they almost had to make up days in the summer. The boys loved snow days but I was happy they didn't dig into summer!

Brock rolled this snow ball all on his own until he couldn't budge it anymore.

The cement pad at Grandpa and Grandma's was a wall of snow!
