Nixon's 11th Birthday and Basketball is OVER

 Mason has caught the reading bug again lately, which means he is usually reading while eating his breakfast


Here he is with a game he made


We told Nixon that I would take him skiing at Schweitzer for his birthday. We surprised him by picking up his friend, Gus, on the way to join us


We had a really nice day with some blue skies at times


Other times it was cloudy


When we could see the views were amazing



View of the back side of the mountain


Look at the snow on those trees



Nixon had a bad crash into the circled bush and was stuck deep in the snow


We were stuck in a cloud for a while at this point


We had a lot of fun together


Those views





Lyza had her first school dance and felt like a million bucks in her beautiful dress. She had lots of fun with her friends.


Last weekend Henry got his first basket of the season



We were so proud of him


The next day was Nixon's birthday



He is an amazing boy. It was fast Sunday and he fasted and kept up a great attitude.

He opened some presents in the afternoon










He was rewarded for fasting with the best tasting bacon cheeseburger ever!


Kim and Lyza had a meeting right after dinner so we played some games while they were gone


Mason with his next hair style


Then it was time for a ginormous banana split





They were delicious


The next day the boys were all working on Lego


This boy has also been really into his book (The Wild Robot)


Nixon and Mason had a primary activity where they learned to whittle



Mason and I were matching one morning


On Friday Kim took the boys out for lunch at DQ



Henry, Mason, and Nixon each had their last games of the basketball season yesterday

This is the team picture I got with Henry's team (3 kids and an assistant coach were missing)


We all watched Nixon's game to cheer him on



Nixon's team had a pizza party after and he had a lot of fun


They played outside the restaurant after


It was so beautiful yesterday (around 13 degrees C) so we walked with Mason and Henry to the local drink stand to get some fun drinks with their money



We hope you enjoy the warmth and sunshine while it lasts
