Double Overtime!

 

Dylan made the basket that tied his game up tonight in the last 3 seconds!  They had double overtime and ended up winning by 2 points.  It was awesome, we were all yelling and jumping up and down and clapping.  The kids were so excited, almost as excited as their coaches!  Way to go Celtics and way to go Dylan, we're so proud of your hard work!

Swings- A new olympic event

Jack and Grant were swinging this afternoon and they always try to swing simultaneously and say 'HI' to each other while they're swaying back and forth.  I'm not sure why, but they think this is hilarious and Grant usually laughs so hard that he gets weak and can barely hold onto the chains.  Today Grant announced as they were trying to determine who was swinging the highest, "Hey Jacky we can bose win, we can get two gold medals in the 'lympics!"

We are not alone

Grant and I watched this little squirrel in our front yard today diving for nuts.  His poor little body would dive down, completely covered by snow, looking for some nourishment.  We decided, we're not the only ones getting tired of all this snow.  You are not alone little, hungry squirrel, you are not alone.

Over the River and through the Snow!

 We went to my parents' house on Sunday and guess what....it snowed and snowed and snowed some more!  We were snowed in!  What did we do, you ask, for 3 days while we were snowed in?  Well......

We did a lot of that!  The boys were loving the hill mom and dad have in their back yard.  It's the perfect size hill, big enough to go fast and small enough to climb back up easily.  They even went out once at night with a spotlight.  One time Grant lost his glove and had to come in and enjoy a 'warm-up' with blankets, hot chocolate and grandma.

Dad brought home an airplane game for the computer and that kept the big boys busy for quite awhile.  Every 5 minutes they had to switch to avoid the bickering that goes along with being snowed in.

 

We ate a lot including these delicious brownies that mom whipped up with Grant's help.

We watched a lot of Olympics:

Grant played football (in the living room) :o(

And Dylan played leggos in front of the fireplace, the best place in the house.

We also went over to the church to play basketball (a little perk of parents with keys to their church).

We made it home safely Tuesday afternoon just in time to guess, what....play in the snow.

Matt built an awesome fort.

 

Dylan (and Jack) made a snowman:

 

HAPPY WINTER to the boys and the mom's:
