Funnest Weekend Ever

-




We had the funnest weekend ever! We were so busy with our friends Mark and Kelley up from Bemidji with thier children. Thier boy Oliver is Gevie's best bud and they have a new baby Karis too. On Friday we went to a game night at a mutual friends house, on Saturday we went to Adventourous Christians camp for thier "Winter Games" and then on Sunday saw them again at another friends house. Anyway, this post is about way more than us seeing them, check out the things we got into!


The picture above is of Mark and Kelly. I took this pix not only to get a great shot of them, but to show you all Marks fat lip that he sustained during Broomball. Broomball is best decribed by Genevieve, "Mom I want to go see them playing on that ice with the golf ball and sticks." Its a lot like hockey with a 5" ball and your stick looks like the handle of a shovel.


I didn't get away with out injury. This is a picture of my right hip. Not the prettiest picture ever. But Gid and my friends thought I had to post it. Surprisingly it doesn't hurt that bad... There is a mark in the upper left, thats a 18 year old Alpine Slide scar. The bruise is one day old here and is bigger than my palm.


This last picture is definately something for "Up North" you are an official Minnesotan when you see someone sled off the roof and say, "Me next!" So Sara and Gid took a sled off the roof of our friend Connie's house into a drift about 4 feet high. This was so fun that at the end four of us decided we should jump off too. HINT: land on your butt, not on your feet.
Our friend Joel got it right, Gid, Mark and I all hit bottom. And the leg that looked bad and felt fine, now hurts like it looks. I think I almost blew out my knee man this hurt, but hey I did jump off the roof. It was great fun and I'll do it again if I get the chance. Like I said we had a wild weekend. Oh! I also played "Cat and Mouse" I'll explain that later.
Good Night!!!

This is how we (as a family) feel today. I'll get pictures from Christmas up soon, but for now I figured I would at least post something so Kelley doesn't get on me again for not updating. =) We had a great Christmas with all our family and have had five seperate parties. We will head to IL soon for the last one. AnnaBelle was up for several hours last night again (1:30-3:30) and here I had gone to bed at midnight because Gid was at a fire. Two condos at Caribou Highlands are lost. He get home about 2:30 this morning. One of my daycare dads is a lutsen firefighter was there from about 9:30pm- 6:30am. Eeeww! But because all the teams did there jobs, it was only the unit that started it and one next to it. So anyway there is my update. We are all tired because AnnaBelle was crying and pulling on her ears again and because Gid was firefighting. AB has a appointment tomorrow afternoon. I am going to push for an allergy test (is that even possible?) and tubes for her ears. Sara

This is actually turning out to be a good story, my brother said, "This was all you little sis" and I replied, "No, it was all God." So anyway here is my story. We still had not heard any word on Sunday. My mom has been working with the local police even though thier efforts were frugal at  the least. We did everything we thought we could do except wait for God's perfect timing. I had talked about this to my mom and we both had a feeling of peace about it.  On Sunday while I was at the doctor for another ear infection with AnnaBelle and then off to a Christmas party, a kid down the street got a call from Julie with a wild story and needing money. Somehow this kid Chris, didn't know about the drama down the street so he talked to her and said he didn't really have any money to give. Later when he got his computer back on line he saw the notices about Julie. So my mom got a call, "I think I might know where Julie is." Yeah! She had used a phone a...

Too much computer

Is this my hint that I spend too much time on the computer? I am currently having technical problems with a site called Smarthinking. It's an essay review site, I had a heck of a time logging in and submitting my paper, and now I can't go get my corrected one! It's due tomorrow night so hopefully I can get it and do the last minute revisions I know they'll point out. Otherwise, Sara and the kids are sick with a head cold. I am trying to type and deal with my nose running at the same time. Yeah I know more than you needed to know. We have the appraisal for our house tomorrow morning so pray for a high number! REALLY HIGH like 255,000. AnnaBelle still only takes about 5 steps, but now SHE SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT! Oh I am so excited, she is sick and still sleeping through the night!! After I get used to this it is time to pull the plug (pacifier). She only has it at bed to go to sleep so her days are numbered anyway. I'll have to get a picture of "Princess Pouty ...
