Sunday Drive

We took a drive this past Sunday to check out the ice and to see if we could spot any eagles or deer.

The ice just looks so cool out there!

The hubby is chugging thru the snow to see if he can spot any coyote tracks. The predator hunt is coming up!

More ice! We have lots of it here.

The above picture is of a hole in the ice that was spraying water but I wasn't fast enough with the shutter to catch the spray! It was pretty.

A lonely picnic table at the park.

Hubby trudging through more snow. Wish we would have brought our snowshoes. I would have liked to have gotten closer to the water.

We did spot one eagle but it flew away before I could take a picture of it. Didn't see any deer, just tracks and rubs.

Homemade Valentine Gift

I made these gifts for my grandson's pre-school teacher. In the cellophane bage is a cute pair of heart earrings. The two beverage containers have hot cocoa in one and marshmellos in the other.

Here is a close up of the earrings.

And here is a close up of the beverage holder.

Nathan has his valentine party this week, so we well be making cupcakes to bring to his friends. He also has some valentines that he will be filling out on his own. He has been practicing writing his name and is getting pretty good.

Girls Varsity Basketball

Calumet played a game against Lake Linden last night. It was a really good game and went into overtime. The girls pulled it out and won by ONE point.
The following are pictures of the game. ENJOY!

My Kids And Me

This picture was taken at Christmas! It's been a long time since all of us have been together. I miss having them around all the time too! From L to R: Dallas, Mom, Terra and Michael.

So Funny!

I saw this image and had to share it! It is so funny! Thankfully I am not in any trouble, nor do I forsee getting into any, but this sure is a cute picture. Isn't the saying the truth?!

Wolerines

We have a son, Jeff, that plays for The Wolverines. It is a men's league and they do quite a bit of traveling. Here is the team with the team mascot (?) pasty-man and Santa. They are such a great group of guys. We haven't got out much to watch them this year, but we'll get to more games.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

We had a great Christmas with our families and look forward to next year.

We hope all our friends also had a wonderful Christmas!

Try Again!

My grandson's first attempt at skating did not go well. He didn't want to skate at all and cried when the skates went on. I left work early to go and watch and try to get some pictures, but when I got there he was in a full sobbing mode. I tried to talk him into trying to skate but he was having nothing to do with it. So, I asked him if he would like to watch and see what the kids were doing out there. He was up for that and we stayed and watched for about 15 minutes.
Today we are going to try it again. We've been talking to him about it all week and he seems to want to try. I'm hoping that my Mom and Dad will get pictures because I can't leave work today. If they are successful in getting him on the ice and getting a picture or two, I will definitely share.
