Fun Day:)

We had a nice day with my mom in Sioux Falls. Tim, Deb, Tyler, and Chelsea ate lunch with mom, dad, myself, and the girls at Minerva's. Then, we enjoyed Angel Food cake with ice cream at Tim and Deb's house for dessert. The girls enjoyed dancing with Auntie Debbie to her Wii 'Just Dance Two' game. Have a good weekend everyone!!

Happy Birthday Mom/Grandma:)

We'd like to wish our mom, mother-in-law, and Grandma Darlene a very Happy Birthday tomorrow! We are looking forward to spending the day in Sioux Falls and celebrating with her:) Thanks for being such a wonderful mother, and grandma-we love you very much!

Happy Belated Birthday Shelly!!

I posted a birthday wish to Shelly the other day...but it didn't save:( So, Happy Belated Birthday Shelly!!!

St. Cloud

They were all a little cold!
Courtney second in Freeskate

WFSC skaters

Kelsey first, Courtney third in Interpretive

The girls competed in the Granite City Classic figure skating competition in St. Cloud on Saturday. Courtney took second place in Freesktate, third place in Compulsory, and third place in Interpretive. Kelsey took first place in Compulsory, second place in Freeskate, and beat her sister by winning first place in Interpretive! We had a fun day. The temperature hit -24 on our way home, so we were happy to get home safely. Now, we are just relaxing and watching the snow blow in our backyard! Eric leaves Wednesday for a basketball tournament in Huron. He will be gone until Saturday. The girls and I are planning on driving to Sioux Falls on Saturday to help mom celebrate her birthday. Hope the weather cooperates:)

Happy Anniversary Ted and Pam!

We'd like to wish a belated Happy Anniversary to Ted and Pam! Hope you had a great day:)

Cold Sunday....

These two love to snuggle together when the weather is cold outside...

I took this picture of Courtney and Skittles this evening:) We all have tomorrow off-which will be nice. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning. The girls think that the doctor will be able to tell us if we are having a boy or girl tomorrow-but I think we'll probably have to wait another month for that news! Have a good week everyone!!

Willmar

Kelsey and her coach Taylor
Courtney=first in Freeskate!

Club Members that competed:)

This weekend we travelled to Willmar for a figure skating competition. It was the first time for Courtney to compete at the Basic 5 level. She earned first place in Compulsories, FreeSkate, and Interpretive!! Kelsey earned fourth place in Compulsories, 2nd place in FreeSkate, and 2nd place in Interpretive. My friend Rachel drove up from Wabasso to watch the girls skate:) It was good to see her and catch up. It was a very fun competition:) Next weekend we will be travelling to St. Cloud. Have a good weekend everyone!!

Mankato Competition

The girls and Erin...another skater from our club

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming and supporting us:)

We made it to Mankato last night even though the roads were awful. It took us 5.5 hours to get there and we were all very grateful to arrive safely! Courtney competed in two events and placed first in Compulsories and third in FreeSkate. Kelsey competed only in FreeSkate as her Compulsory event was cancelled. She placed third in her division. Mom and dad drove up to watch the girls and then we had a nice lunch with them after the girls were done skating. Next week we travel to Willmar---stay warm everyone:)

Spa Day!

Check out the eyeshadow!!
Kelsey getting a facial:)

The girls decided to set up a spa in the dining room-complete with makeup, facials, pedicures, manicures, and massages. I decided to go for the pedicure and massage-it only cost me $1250 in Monopoly money!! Anyway, they had a good time!! The neighbor came over and plowed our driveway, so Eric is on his way to take Jalen home and pick up a friend for Kelsey to play with! The wind is still blowing....

Happy New Year!

We spent a very quiet New Year's Eve in our living room watching TV last night. Courtney's friend, Jalen has been with us since Thursday---as we are not able to get her home-yet! It has been snowing and blowing constantly as you can see from the size of some of our drifts! Hopefully, it will calm down a little bit today and we will be able to dig out! Happy New Year everyone!!
