Long time no see

It's been awhile since I've been here. Christmas is a busy time of year. Here's a short update...
Dillon has been busy with Sophomore BB season. He worked at Broadway Used Furniture after school Tuesdays-Fridays 3:15-6 up until BB started. He didn't have much time for practice but is practicing hard these days. He often goes from BB practice to the YMCA. He's on the B Team this year and every game he seems to get better.

Cole recovered well from H1N1. He dropped down to 93 lbs. and just the other day hit a milestone 100 lbs.! He's been enjoying his iPod Touch and loves his down time after school. He's been hitting the YMCA a little more lately-getting ready for his BB season starting in January.

Brock has been enjoying Dad's time at home...that often means he gets to stay home when he's not in Preschool MWF mornings. He is completely addicted to XBox - Halo and Call of Duty 6. He often gets in trouble from his brothers for playing when they want to play and playing Live!

Christmas came and went and it's soon time to go back to school. We had 24 inches of snow that started Christmas Eve. We had some fun driving our snowmobiles around Minot city streets!

Our 2007 snowblower broke down again, and Donnie spent many hours on the phone trying to get something from Sears/Craftsman. He does not really enjoy the Christmas Season. He never thinks we need gifts/have too much stuff already, does not like the mess of the gifts in the house or the added decorations that clutter up our home, does not like putting up lights and then having to take them down when the snow piles up on the roof so that he can shovel off the roof. I know he'd rather take a trip somewhere than have to deal with Christmas.

We did have a good Christmas. Dillon got pickup stuff, Cole got Patriots and Duke and other sweatshirts, and a nice Duke blanket (also his iPod Touch), Brock got a Nerf Shotgun and RC Monster Truck and DS games.
