| Dad almost had B talked into joining freestyle season. He even participated in a little free lesson with Coley tonight! |
 |
| As you can see, I firmly believe wrestling is the best sport ever... |
 |
Unfortunately, B had a panic before bedtime and absolutely refused to participate after all.
We'll find your sport, B. Thanks for trying!
|
 |
| Tonight, we went back to The Comedy Barn! We were so excited to show Grandma and Bugga and were looking forward to another evening of laughter. |
 |
| Mom took Coley down front to meet Nils, the juggler. |
 |
| He tried to give Coley a lesson. |
 |
| Then he tried to sell Coley his book. Uh... yeah man, we just think you're funny. Juggling is NOT in my future. |
 |
Bristol May has been to the vet almost every single month since we've had her. She has had a UTI all winter! Today we took x-rays to try to find out what the heck is going on. All clear!
Now we are going to have to try putting her on a special diet.
|
 |
| We knew purebred princesses were pricey, but man! |
 |
If you asked Mom to make a list of all the organizations she was positive she'd never belong to, 4H is probably at the very top. Sorry Ma, but I have dreams! So we drove on out to our very first 4H meeting tonight.
We arrived on time, but um...
|
 |
| Eventually people showed up. Then we spent a full hour talking about vegetables. |
 |
You try and get to 7 year old BFFs to sit still for an hour's worth of vegetable talk. It didn't go well...
Luckily, we are not interested in vegetables. We made sure to sign up for GOATS and I decided I would also be making a nice Ferrari to show at the fair this year. Much better!

Today Mom went in to the dr. for a consultation. Turns out, the doc wanted her to pee in a cup and do an exam!
If you're wondering why the Momparazzi was taking pictures of this experience, it's because she was texting her girlfriends for help the whole time! How is she supposed to drink all of this water?!
|
 |
| and... the room where you pee is DOWN THE HALL!? She had to go like this... |
 |
and then... and THEN... the dr. came back in and dropped a BOMB on her.
Obviously, she said, the test was wrong.
Two tests? Okay, it's a bad batch...
Two more tests at home? Still... something is up at the manufacturer.
Two MORE tests of differing brands rushed over by a sympathetic girlfriend? Oh man...
Mama Vandy is once again pregnant!?
|
 |
| Just Mom and I today. We were bored, so we decided to invent a new job for me. I am the official sunroom "relaxation room" security officer. |
 |
Mom made me a shirt, I made up a LOT of tickets for violators, along with a long list of rules, and I was ready to go!
Nobody better dare toe the line around here!
|
 |
Look what Mom and I found on clearance at the grocery!
You better believe we put this treat right into Coley's lunch box.
Of course... it went up for grabs and being the 10 year old boys that they are, his friends ATE THEM!
Ewwwwwwwwwww.....
talk about a twist ending!
|
 |
Mom continues her embarrassing t-shirt trend...
Look what came in the mail for she and Dad to wear to state wrestling?!
I may not be able to show my face :(
|
 |
It was once again time for our annual SCE Carnival. This year, we continued the tradition of going with Coop.
But we got Jude and Jax too!
|
 |
| And Nolan! |
 |
| In fact, we got Nolan all night! What a fun day. |
 |
All school year, we've been meeting up with these two amazing brothers so they can ride our bus. That's not enough though, we like to steal them for extra time whenever possible! Today, they helped us take the dogs to the vet and then Tuck and Coley had wrestling practice.
Tucker is in my grade and has been one of my best friends since Kindergarten.
Wes is in Grade 3 and is our best buddy too.
Their Mom Lori is one of Mom's favorite mamas too!
We sure are lucky to have these two cool brothers in our lives.

Tonight marked the end of the 4th of 5 winter sports we did!
Tennis - done
Basketball for B - done
Basketball for C - done
Baseball Winter workouts - done
Now just a few more weeks til we wrap up the behemoth commitment - WRESTLING!
|
 |
You know you can hardly turn around without seeing stories of abandoned, abused or neglected dogs. Ours were all of these things at one point in their lives.
Now....
|
 |
| Now they are smothered, stuffed, |
 |
| stalked and |
 |
SPOILED!
We sure do love our fur babies.
|
 |
| We had a rare warm day today, so Mom and Tania Lee too us out exploring. |
 |
| When you travel through life with your Best Friend by your side, you can find amusement anywhere! |
 |
| Thanks for a fun, muddy walk! |
 |
| Coley has had an absolutely incredible second year of wrestling. Mom thinks the best part is how hard he works and how much he loves it, Dad thinks the best part is how willing he is to learn and try new moves and I just think it's cool to go and watch him win! |
 |
Mom's mission this year was to bring the families together. That has been a HUGE bonus for our club. We've made some awesome friends.
Thank you DWC!
|
 |
Around here, Mama is our main gal.
This year, we really outdid ourselves with our V-Day cards!
Love you Ma!
|
 |
| This year, I took up a new sport - Tennis! Let me tell you about Tennis... |
 |
| What you do is, you get a ball, you toss it up in the air gently... |
 |
THEN YOU SMASH IT AS HARD AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN and laaaaaaaugh while your buddy chases it down.
This is pretty much all we did for 12 weeks of lessons.
It's my new favorite sport!
|
 |
| It's a well known fact that Row Row is a mama's boy. He doesn't go into full on panic if he can't see her, but he does know she is boss around here. |
 |
| What you may not have known is that Mom is a Row Row's girl! She even got a shirt with his face on it! As any cool boy would be, he is clearly mortified. |
 |
| Dear lord, Mom.... Have you no pride?? Or have you too much pride in your boy?? |
 |
| It's okay buddy. You can stick with me. I won't embarrass you :) |
 |
Tonight's tournament ended with me wrestling my good buddy, Tyler. He's been wrestling for about 6 years, but he doesn't like it. His dad makes him do it. His dad also made him challenge me for the varsity spot every single week for a while. I used to go easy on him, but finally told me enough was enough so then I just pinned him right away and his Dad stopped making him challenge me.
Anyway... it's always a little awkward, but I'm proud to say my friend wrestled REALLY well today. I came out on top, but we were all so very proud of him - even his dad (far left)!
|
 |
| Well it's wrestling season. This is the time of year where Mom and Dad hold their breaths and wait for a call from CPS each Monday when they send Coley off to school looking like he's been thoroughly beat up. |
 |
At least this week, his face wasn't harmed.
If nothing else, wrestling sure has made my big brother unafraid of physical pain!
|
 |
Okay so Mom is stubborn. She has had "take the boys tubing" on her To Do list for a full year! This time, she just bought tickets. Then when Dad said "I don't know.... it's -7. We should cancel." she was able to say "Nope! We already paid. Bundle up Baby!"
So that was it. We pretty much put on every article of winter clothing we owned and we headed out to Perfect North.
|
 |
| Oh. And we brought Chloe! |
 |
| Because it was -7 (-15 with the wind chill) nobody else was crazy enough to go. The slopes were empty and we didn't wait at all. |
 |
| Of course, we couldn't expose our skin for more than a few seconds, but that's beside the point. Mom checked it off her list! |
 |
| Actually, we were quite warm. |
 |
| And we had an absolute blast. |
 |
| Mom said "there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad gear!" |
 |
| Thank goodness she's OCD and super stubborn. |
 |
| We didn't stop for 3 hours! |
 |
| Woooooooo Hooooooo! |
 |
| Are those sun dogs behind me? |
 |
| See? We actually got a bit sweaty. |
 |
Out to eat and back home in time for Chloe's dance lesson.
What a fun day. We can't wait to go back and try skiing!
