Breakfast in Style

Happt St. Patrick's Day!

We had our green on!  Did you??

Here is our little Leprechaun!  Love these green shorts on him!

CHEESE!!

Silly Raegan!!!

Carnegie Jog-A-Thon

Brooklyn had a little fundraiser at her school.  It was a jog-a-thon.  Each kids runs so many laps, and they try to raise money as well.  They had trained a little bit (ran a couple of laps each day at recess.)  And Brooklyn was sure to wear her tennis shoes the day of the race!  According to Brooklyn, she ran the best!  She said she ran 15 laps, and everyone else only ran 12 or 13 laps.  She made one pit stop for a drink of water, and then got more water after! 

Do we have a future runner on our hands??

Time to call it quits!

Well--after about 30 years, these boots have gone into retirement!

These were the boots that I (Jill) wore when I was a little girl.  Jamison has been wearing them lately!

However he wore them to school one day---and this is how they ended up!

I think we probably got our money's worth out of them!

Party's rockin in the house tonight!

The kids have enjoyed playing with the Wii lately!

Here we are trying out the new dance game the kids got for Christmas from Uncle Jason and Aunt Angela.

This white boy looks like he could use some lessons!!  HA--Shake it daddy!

This game makes for a great laugh with adults!  Brooklyn does a great job at it though!!

Grandpa Iowa comes for a visit!

We hadn't seen Grandpa Iowa in a LONG time, so it was definately time for a visit. 

We were very excited to see him!

  Grandpa brought us doughnuts on Sunday morning!!  With SPRINKLES!!

 Raegan ate her whole doughnut!!

Then it was back to playing with Grandpa!!

We had a lot of fun playing keep away, getting tickled, giving fives, showing off, and more showing off!

Funny kids!

I helped Brooklyn build her first FORT on Saturday. 

We have a lot more potential, but it was a fun first attempt! 

POUTY Face!

THIS GIRL CAN POUT!!!

She can throw this face out at any time!  You say something to make her made, look at her wrong, take something from her, whatever it may be, and she pulls the double chin, lip out, eyes rolled look in no time!!!  She is GOOD at it!

Super bowl super party!!

We were all very excited for some FOOTBALL!

Jamison still asks pretty much every day if he can watch football.  He doesn't quite get that we are nearing the end of the season--just this one last sha-bang!

So we had to do it right!

Nacho party on the picnic table in front of the TV!

And we had front row seats!!  (Ok--what may look like a bunch of the same pictures that follow--are actually all different--but I had to include each due to some of the expressions!)

Raegan must have decided we needed some snacks during the game and put on her apron to cook for us.

Then--it was the half time show!  Boy did we LOVE that!!!!!!!

Then time for a couple of games on Grandma Iowa's Kindle.  Grandma was able to come in town one more weekend!!!  We have been spoiled with all of her visits recently!!

We also played a game during the game.   We had a list of ten questions or so that we each answered.
Who would win the coin toss, who would score first, touchdown or field goal first, who would be ahead at half time, what would the first commercial be about, etc. etc.  Each time we got the answer right, we got a quarter to put in our piggy bank!  The kids really liked that!!  And I think Raegan ended up making the most money!   Luckily I don't think they got too hooked on the gambling side of things after just one game!
