January 16, 2006

I need to start out by saying that anyone who doesn’t watch “24" is insane! I was so excited to watch the season premiere last night and it was SO worth watching! I can hardly wait for part 2 tonight!!!

Bob had an “accident” on Wednesday night and sprained his ankle at basketball. When he woke up the next morning, it was so swollen and black and blue. So, he stayed home from work Thursday and Friday. He is back at work today and walking with much less of a limp. He ordered an ankle brace and hopefully he will realize he isn’t 20 anymore and stop going in for those crazy shots!!

Kayla got one of those cool dance pads from Santa for Christmas. It didn’t work so we ordered a new one. Anyway, the kids love it and will do it until they are dripping in sweat. What a great way to get them to exercise without knowing it! I will have to take a picture sometime.

Marisa did so well at the Geography Bee. I am so proud of her. She made it about half way through. She was extremely disappointed though. She studied all week and then stayed up really late that night and studied all sorts of countries, weather patterns , exports, etc. Bless her heart. They only asked questions about the USA and Canada. The two questions that she missed were about Chatanooga and the Great Bear lake. She was devastated. Especially when one kid got a questions about which state Brigham Young established with the mormons and he missed it! She is more determined than ever to win next year!

We had a busy week with Tae kwon do, preschool, gymnastics, VT conference, Tyler had a friends bday part at Superskate, we watched the last Star Wars (so cool), etc. Other than Bob’s ankle and Alayna’s cold, we are happy and healthy.

Have a wonderful week!

PS- Bob spent a lot of his down time redoing all our slide shows on the internet. You can access them from the webpage. The one that says 2005 are all our latest pictures put to music in case anyone is interested in our year in review! That should be posted this week some time. Marisa also updated her webpage and enjoys email almost as much as I do!
