Baby it's cold outside

I know some of you live in areas that are waaaayyyy colder than we are, but I still have to let you all know that I am COLD!!

So cold that:
I wear thermals under my clothes and I am still cold
I wear wool socks and half the time I can't feel my toes
My ring finger turns white, ghostly, weirdly white
I avoid leaving the house at all costs
I wrap myself in blankets and I still feel cold
I make my kids do everything so I can stay wrapped up in my blanket
I get cranky when my kids want to cuddle, and it moves my blanket off of me
When I jump in bed at night I move my arms and legs back and forth to create friction so I can stay warm, but by moving my arms and legs like that I am cold again :)

State Lego Robotics Competition

Last Saturday, we all went to the State Lego Robotic's Competion. They chose to do it at a high school that was very huge, but needed way more parking. Along with the Lego competion, the high school had its activities going on, like soccer games, and play practices. So there was absolutely no parking. We ended up parking on the street.

Tayler and his team were very excited, and did well, but not as well as they thought they would. I think the main problem was their nerves. Having the anouncer dude call out everything you are doing, and having a crowd of people around to watch, can tend to make a 12 year old very nervous.

During the awards assembly, they gave every team member a medal. Then they proceeded to hand out the other awards. Tayler and his team got the young team award.



Here they are with their trophy made out of lego's.

Here they are again cheering. They were very excited to get an award!

New Year

We had a great New Years Eve. My Mom and Dad flew up to visit and we played games and ate all day and all night. Sid and Chan Hei and Sydney came over also, it was fun.

Tuesday we slept in and then we played more games and ate more and played games and ate more. Tuesday night George wasn't feeling well, and when Tayler went to bed he said he wasn't feeling well either, after I cleaned up yucky stuff TWICE, I wasn't feeling the best :) But I didn't get sick.

Wednesday we watched a ton of movies, one thing is for sure my parents get to catch up on lots of movies when they visit us. We watched Harry Potter 5 and Bourne Ultimatum.

Thursday was my Dad's birthday, we visited, played games and watched movies and then we went to a movie, we saw National Treasure it was really good, I have a problem with Nicholas Cages hair though it looks really goofy. Hope made that yummy cheesecake we told you all about and we sang happy birthday. Hopefully Grandpa had a good day.

Friday we drove around and played games and ate and had a good time together. George took Dad to work with him. That night we went to Uncle Sid's house so Tayler could show the robot to Grandma and Grandpa.

Saturday my parents flew home.

It was cold and windy and rainy the whole time they were here, I feel bad. They definitly got lots of sitting around done. I'm really glad they came, my kids go through family withdrawal syndrome every so often, so it was really nice. We love you all!!!!
