Roller Skating 1-14-10

Sorry no pictures. (thank goodness) Alex's school had a fundraiser at the local roller rink. So we went. Alex and I straped on some roller skates. His first time and I haven't skated since.... well High School. I get his skates on and before I get mine on he is on his rear. Well lesson 1. How to get up. Grandpa was there for moral support of mom. So we shuffle off to the rink. going good. Just as we get to an opening I see some mom's from church. They are not skating. Why am I??? Alex does not get 3 feet on the rink and down he goes... oh wait... yes he takes mom with him... I am sure I will be the topic of conversation on Tue for church class. Alex had a great time. We were like turtles out there but he had fun. Only once did he fall and cry. He said he fell so hard he almost pee in his pants. But like always he had a blast seeing lots of people from school. Everyone was saying "Hi Alex" He said he is not very good. he is to slow but I told him I think he did great for his first time. We will have to go again.

New Years Eve

Alex rang in the new year in style. Hope everyone had a save holiday and that 2010 brings lots of great things to all.

12-29-09 GLI

We packed up the auto and headed to Detroit. Our mission was to watch a good hockey game and have some fun. Well the game was a blow out if you were cheering for Michigan State and a real downer if you were cheering for Michigan Tech. But we had fun. Went to the game, and then had coneys downtown.

Alex's cousin Katie came in for a visit. We walked to the local sled hill and had some fun.

Katie even went down.

She hit the snow jump...

She had a black coat at the top of the hill. now it is white.

she makes it up the hill with a smile.

Christmas Pic's

We had a fast and wild Christmas morning. We told Alex that he could not go downstairs until 7 in the a.m. and that he could only open his stocking before 8. I saw his light go on around 5;30 and he crawled into my bed around 6 and then at 6:59 he headed down stairs. Was good and did not get me up until 8. I was hoping he would do good since I was not crawling into bed until around 3am. Santa was very good to all of us this year. It was a year of trucks, guns, and cloths. Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Train show pics

Alex, Grandpa and I went to Traverse City for a weekend. We went to have Christmas with Grandma and pa Morris. They were there for the opening weekend of the Train show. Grandpa is a train member. It was pretty amazing on the detail the guys go to for their sets.

When you sat in The big Thomas you could run the little one.

Some pic's of Grandpa's section

Lu Ann was also there running her son's train.

Well it was a busy time, but we
also had fun. Three of my

over. We had an old fashion
work party. We cleaned out the
closets, garage and misc. places

some fun also.
Dana, Ron, Tony
Dad, Chris Alex, Randy
Todd was down but not in the picture.

Ron and Dana stripped the
wallpaper and hung new paper in the
main bathroom. What a "fun" job
It turned out GREAT.

Alex was a lot of help also.

We wanted to play some cards at

night. Dana had to look up the

rules on his phone.

Dad caught on film. His hand in the

m & m's bowl.
