January at a Glance

January has been a pretty interesting month to SAY. THE. LEAST! We started off with tons of this stuff:

 

 

Which meant the kids spent LOTS of time outside:

This one has spent lots of time obsessing over all things Harry Potter: 

Watching the movies, over and over and over...

Lauren had a choir concert at school:

She is smack dab in the middle, turned sideways with a long, blonde ponytail with her arms folded.

Which was probably the best one we've been to in three years.

Sorry the quality stinks but it was my phone and I was in the nosebleed section.

We checked out a new store in town (Scheels) and got silly with Abe Lincoln and a Bear but broke all the children's hearts when we refused to stand in line for over an hour, in the middle of the store, to ride the ferris wheel. Yes, we are mean like that.

 

 

 

 

 

We squeezed in a birthday party for this little cowgirl:

 More on that at another time.

Lauren was student of the day for her Jr. High:

 She will be so mad I posted this. It's a random drawing so she feels like there isn't any thing special about it. However, her name was on the marquee so I did what any good mom would do, I took video and posted it!

Sorry Lauren. :0)

We also spent a LOT of time in the evenings and nearly every weekend watching this:

 

 

And enjoyed some victories:

 

 

And no sport would be complete without a few of these:

 

 

 

Lots of free time at the tournaments led to this little accident:

 

(See Previous Post)

And now this guy is struggling with some health problems too...

more on that another day.

Whew! We made it through the month. And those were just the things I actually took pictures of. 

Here's to hoping February is a little calmer...it hasn't been looking to good so far though.
