Everyone at our house is a little blue- Ian was sick on Thursday and Friday...Doug took him in to see the doctor and he has strep throat. Ryan has still been coughing but after lathering him up with Vicks he was doing better this morning!!!!!! It is a weekend where I work and try to catch up at home.
My folks are coming from Bemidji in March so that will be a nice visit. Happy Birthday again to Payton, Alice and Carol!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are ready for SPRING!!

Happy Lent to all!!!!!!
Ryan is not feeling well tonight- he has kind of a "barking" cough. Both boys were involved with a wrestling camp today for an hour. Then I met them at St. Mary's High School as they were having a Mardi Gras dinner that wes catered by Space Aliens. The choices were a loaded baked patatoe with either BBQ chicken or BBQ pork- they also had chicken strips for kids.YUMMY! That was a good supper!!!!!!!! Ryan did not go to the Gorilla Wrestling practice tonight. I can't believe Lent starts tomorrow. Before you know it the clocks will be turned back, we'll hear the birds singing in the morning and the sun will shine longer. In the meantime we are expecting another storm with up to 4 inches of snow in the next day or so. Doug will be taking the boys to Larimore this weekend and taking each of the boys to a UND hockey game- what a fun experience for them!!!! Don't eat too much on Fat Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We found out this week that Ian needs braces in about a year. He is subconscious about his smile. He has a peg lateral tooth like Sarah had and it is a small tooth in the front. Sarah had hers shaved down and built up again after she was married. I always hated that little tooth! Ian did get new glasses this past week also and they really look nice on him! New glasses that fit his face makes a difference...
We are having a good week with wrestling and work.
Doug's mom, Carol, called from the Holy Land and should be coming home soon. Sarah's folks are in Vegas this week.
Will write again later!

We had a wonderful day together for Valentines Day!! Doug and I spent a bit of our morning and afternoon at Spa D'Athena eating a nice lunch and having tandem massages. I am actually a bit sore today. When we were done we both were TIRED and ready for naps. We went home and rented a movie instead.
Hope the wrestling pictures work this time!!!

BUSY BUSY BUSY! We have been so busy with wrestling and swimming lessons. We went to the school conferences and Ian knew he got all straight A's- he was so happy with himself. Ryan is described as very social and pokes around. Sarah's mom says"He is just like how you were" He can talk to just about anybody....we are so proud of both of them.
We have had snow all day and it is very wet and now is accumulating. Both boys prayed for a snow dat but they have not gotten it yet. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Happy February to all!!

Happy February to all ! We are hoping for spring soon...This is a busy month because we started wrestling for BOTH Ian and Ryan 3 nights a week. Ryan's practice is from 6-7pm and Ian is 7-8pm...WOW! Doug and I feel like a tag team with everything involved with this!! "Tag your it getting the boys ready-" "I am changing my work clothes-tag your it finishing making supper!"
New pictures are coming from wrestling!!!!!
The end of January we were able to go see Doug's folks in Larimore- relaxing time and we finally opened Christmas gifts...
We are now having to also think this month if Ian is getting braces soon. We have an appointment on February 16th to see an orthodontist and he will let us know. Ian does not know what is involved and I am not going to tell him yet. Wish us luck!
