Field Trip

Last week Schydi's class went on a field trip to the Wellington Fire Department. They got to see all the equipment, talk to the firefighters, and watch a fire safety video. Schydi even had the chance to try on the firefighters clothes, I am pretty sure they weighed more than she does ;-D All the kids seemed to like it. Leyton got to go with them too, he really anjoyed looking at all the trucks.

Super Bowl Spread

It's Here-Super Bowl Sunday! We have been counting down for the last 2 weeks and are so excited for the game. Most of us are voting for the New Orlean's Saints to win it, in fact the only one not voting for the Saints is DaNell, hope she is ready to swallow the defeat ;-) Here are some pics of the food we have planned to eat today.
All I have left to say is GO SAINTS!

Hockey Game

On January 29, we went to our first Grizzlies Game. It was fun and a little different than what we are used too. It is unbelievable how the goalies can stop that puck as it flies towards them. There was one fight close to where we were sitting so that was fun to watch. The Grizzlies player totally won the fight 8-)We will definately go to another game sometime!

Meet Uno

This is our new puppy named Uno. It is our second dog, we still have Homie too.

Schydi's Injury-Revisited

After 2-1/2 weeks of limping, and 3 doctor's visits, we finally have a diagnosis on Schydi's foot. She has a cracked growth plate in her heel. Now she is sporting a blue cast for the next 3 weeks then the Orthopedic Surgeon will re-evaluate and see if further treatment is necessary. She is trying to keep a positive attitude and was finally able to go back to school this week. Here's to a speedy recovery :-)

Spelling Bee

Yesterday was the School Spelling Bee and Taylor took 4th place in the 6th Grade. He got out on the word affiliation, by 1 f. We are very proud of him-Way to go Tay! We had a donut party last night to celebrate!

This Weeks Picks

This week I am going with the Minnesota Vikings and NY Jets to go to the Superbowl. I know everyone says that the Jets are a long-shot, but I love rooting for the uderdog team, I just don't have it in me to cheer for the Colts. I am going with the Vikings only because they beat the Clown-Boys last week, and I have to stick with the team that brought me a crisp-cold 12 pack of Pepsi :-) Really I just hope that both games are good games and may the best teams win for a change! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Schydi's Injured

Last weekend Schydi was playing Football with Taylor when he fell on top of her foot, she said it rolled and popped really loud. By Tuesday it was pretty swollen, so I decided to take her in to have it checked. The Dr. said that the X-ray looked o.k., he said sometimes breaks don't show up right off the bat and if the pain persists for 7-10 days to bring her back for a new x-ray. He wanted to put a walking boot on it, so back to the Dr. we went. They put one on and it was huge, there was no way she could walk with that, so they called all over town and no-one had one small enough for her little foot. They ended up ordering one, it came and looked just like the other one they tried on :-( I remembered that Taylor once hurt his ankle and wore one of those boots and dug through the closet and found it (I was suprised that I still had it lying around)with a few minor adjustments, we were able to make it work. It is still a little big, but a lot smaller than the ones at the Dr.'s office. So after 3 trips to the Dr.'s office, 1 trip to the Hospital, and 3 missed days of school, she was able to go all day on Friday wearing the boot. I hope it starts feeling better soon!

For the LOVE of FOOTBALL

Taylor is missing sports something awful these days, the snow has put a real damper in his spirits. So this week everytime it has snowed, he goes out and shovels a path on each end of the lawn where they can go out and atleast play catch. It usually lasts until he has taken so many headers into the snow, that he is freezing cold :-(
Next up will be Baseball sign-ups in Feb. He got a new bat for Christmas and can't wait to go try it out!(He's sure it will be a Home-Run Bat)This will be his last year in Little League, then it's off to Babe Ruth, not sure I am ready for that. I know we need the snow, but enough is enough it's gonna take a while for what we already have to melt.

Football Playoffs

This week turned out to be a rather disappointing round of NFL at the Rasmussen Ranch. Tay's beloved Chargers are out-he's heartbroken of course- and the only team that won that I picked was the Vikings, although the 12-pack of Pepsi I won will be most refreshing, now I am faced with picking teams that I never would have picked in a million years, it almost takes all the fun out of it, having to pick different teams each week. I would rather pick one and follow them all the way to the Super Bowl, but oh well such is life. I will let you know my picks later in the week after I've had time to do a little research :-)Let me know your picks maybe it will help me with mine.
