Boomball with Uncle Sammy

A few weekends ago Uncle Sammy came down to visit while Nikki was in Jackson at her Aunt's birthday party. Sammy brought his Wii because the dudes loved it so much when he was here at Christmas. We played the Wii's bowling game, which the dudes call 'Boomball'. since they enjoyed the video game so much, we decided to take them to do the real thing. Below are some pictures and video of the weekend. sorry for the delay in getting this posted Sammy.

Beating the Winter Blues

We had a few visitors this past week. Grandma G spent the entire past week with us in Ohio (Thanks Amma!). Grandpa G and Uncle David came down this past weekend and spent some time with us as well. Aunt Tracy and Uncle Tom made the trip down this past weekend too. I wasn't able to get a picture with them and the dudes because Tracy got sick. Thier visits are all much appreciated as we minimize our travel back to Michigan in the winter months. Below are some pictures and a video to show some of the stuff we have been up to:

Today we went sledding down a little hill at the elementary school down the road from our house. Grandma G and Uncle David watched from the car.

We built a snowman and threw a few snowballs

Two weeks ago was Grandma G's birthday and last weekend was Aunt Tracy and Aunt Sherry's birthday and we weren't able to make it back to Michigan, so we celebrated a little this past weekend.

Last weekend we took the Dudes to an event called Kidzapalooza in Columbus. It was pretty neat. The Dudes and I got our picture taken with the MLS Cup trophy that the Columbus Crew just won a few months ago.
