Ice skating

Today I took the kids to Dodge to go ice skating. I knew it would be interesting but they both did pretty well with the aid of 5 gallon buckets. And for the record, I didn't fall down either. Amelia really liked it and by the end wanted to try to skate by holding the wall. Truman was done after about 30 minutes so he and I watched Amelia.

Christmas with Grandma Cretia

A week ago Sunday, we spent the day in Wichita. We had lunch and an early Christmas with Grandma Cretia, Marie and Braden.

Best buds.

Amelia drew her a picture of Elsa from Frozen.


Cookie party

For the second year Amanda and Kate hosted a cookie exchange party. Because the roads were muddy, we had it at the arts center. It was fun. Ashley won prettiest display and I won best tasting.

Paper quilt

This year at school art class for our collaborative project we did a paper quilt. Each student made a 9 inch square that I "quilted" together to make a 9 by 15 foot quilt. It was alot of work and many evenings at home for me putting it together but I think it turned out pretty great.

This girl

She is having fun dressing herself these days. This is one of her outfit creations.

Girls day to Hays

A few weeks ago Ashley and I had a much needed day away to Hays for massages, food and beer. Rock Haven is one of my favorite Kansas places and so is Gellas for that matter.
