Christmas CU Buffs Style

We missed having Chad and Megan for Christmas, however we sure enjoyed opening the presents they the sent to us from Colorado. If you haven't already noticed they are big CU Buffs fans and now so are we!
Jace loved his Toy Story sleeping bag and HAD to try it out!





Thanks Chad & Megan. We love all the gifts!

Winter 10 Blizzard

OOPS! I guess the trip to town for a "loaf of bread" (code for "case of beer") is just going to have to wait. Sammy is in the car, just for the ride and decided it would be really funny to LOCK THE DOORS while I was out shoveling! Thanks goodness for On Star!


The car is out and so is Sammy. Now for some fun in snow!

I think we'll just be stickin around home for a while

Philip's Last Game Played At Eau Claire

Welcome to football season in the Upper Midwest! It was sunny and 50 yesterday and we woke up to this site for Philip's last football game as a River Falls Falcon.



When we got to Eau Claire there was not much snow but rather cold rain.








What an exciting game! We were down 38 to 42 with 3 minutes remaining in the game. It was a long drive down the field and we had to go for it on 4th and long twice. We scored a touchdown with 20 seconds remaining!



Philip and some of his friends

We won't forget this game for a long, long time!
