Keeping busy during the cold winter!

Just like Ben, Dave can't sit still and since it's the dead of winter we're finding all kinds of things to do to keep busy (and warm)!


Dave and Ben like to go to Home Depot on Saturday mornings to build something. They have great kid projects that they can make for free! Check out the tongue action!


He's so proud of his finished castle!



Hitting the lanes with Uncle Chuck, Sam and Pepper! Ben scored an 81 (which is better than what his Mom generally bowls. Can I use those bumper things when I bowl?)!



A warm Sunday afternoon was great for making a snowman at Granny's!

Ben and Dave went skating with the Univ. of MN. Golden Gopher Hockey Team! Ben loves to skate and is actually pretty good--still walking most of the time, but does it on his own! When he falls down, he just yells, "I'm okay" and hops right back up! The highlight of this day was when Goldy Gopher (the mascot) skated past him and stopped, turned around and encouraged Ben to skate to him. Once Ben reached Goldy, he got a pat on the head and a high 5! Ben was star struck and couldn't stop talking about it and Mom is thrilled that she caught it all on video!


We got to go to the MN Wild Hockey game with our friends, the Thomsons! We all had a great time! Thanks for the invitation, Anna, Joel and Jack!


A new year and a new swimming class. Ben's become a fish in the water-not afraid to stick his head under the water or jump to his teacher from a distance!
