Friday night we headed to Grafton for Jayden's wrestling meet.
He took third place. Way to go, Jayden!
Proud parents!
Proud Grandparents!
At 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning we were off to Thief River Falls for another meet. Jayden entertained himself listening to music and playing on his iPod.
The trees were frost covered!
After weigh-ins, we found this cute little restaurant for breakfast. Jayden ordered steak and eggs - his favorite!
Warm-ups begin!
Waiting to wrestle
Getting head gear on
Let the games begin!
4th Place - Not bad for your third year of wrestling!
Lunch afterward at McDonalds - then on to Walmart before heading back.
5th grade - 82 pounds
A little football action followed our return to Cavalier.
I can't believe how big their geranium plant they wintered inside has grown! It's even blooming!
Time for a game of Horse!
In 7th grade Jayden will have to decide between wrestling and basketball, since they're played at the same time.
A little BB trick! BB is spinning, and Jayden isn't touching it! :)
Supper at Thompson's Cafe that night. Jayden ordered the 21 piece shrimp dinner, and ate it all!
Jason and Tiff ordered 3 year's worth of pictures. We had a great time going through these. Lots of great memories!
Jayden enjoyed the warm night out in the snow.
Then relaxed his sore muscles in the hot tub!
They played a little poker.
Sunday morning Jason made one of his great breakfasts! O'brien hashbrowns, sausage, eggs, and toast.
Another quick game of cards...
Some nice looking trophies and medals, Jayden!
One last game of BB with Grandpa before we head home.
We had a wonderful week-end!
We returned home to see Mom's completed 1000 piece puzzle! It's beautiful!
I wouldn't have the patience or skill to work on one of these!
Dad absolutely loves talking to friends and relatives! He's one of the most social people I know!
My cousin Peggy Strand Erickson, a teacher in Tappen made it on The Wheel of Fortune!
She did win something, and had a great time with Vanna and Pat!
About a week and a half ago, we had early dismissal in MPS at 1:00, and school was even cancelled that afternoon for the following day! The down side of this was the day came out of our 5 day Easter vacation. Anyway, Jerry decided to shovel out to the grill and grilled some delicious Jalapeno burgers.
The following evening Sherry made supper and brought over to Mom and Dad's. Cole brought his cute Bubblehead trophy from his last BB tourney.
Claire and Cole had been busy earlier in the day making these cut checkerboards. When I asked Claire how long it took her to make, she replied "Forever!"
We all enjoyed the yummy chicken and dumpling dish! Well, maybe not Claire - but she enjoyed the chips and pretzels!
This will most likely be included in the Family Recipe Book! If I ever get it ready!
The gameboards worked well!
Just a few snow pics! We're REALLY getting tired of the Winter that never ends!
Dad has begun exploring another floor. We've taken down the bed from the living room, and he now sleeps upstairs! He's been practicing steps for awhile, as he showers downstairs.
Last week-end we drove up to the lake to check out the cabin. A couple decks were snowless?, but there was plenty to spare elsewhere!
Jerry found one dead mouse in a trap! (so there must be more!)
Other than that bad news, everything else looked good!
The snow was still firm enough for us to walk on.
We were planning to open the cabin up and hook up water, but decided that would have to wait for awhile!!
A cabin owner has set up a feeder for the deer. Thought this was too cute to pass up!
That night we went out to the Hacienda with Scott and Cindy. Jerry had to show Scott the autographed pic of his sweetheart Sarah Palin! Scott is also a big fan!
Sunday we attended Cole's game at Central Campus. He had a few fans there!
Go Number 14!
Proud family! Claire had just been "Beaned" with an out of control basketball during the game, so wasn't a happy camper!
Jerry whipped up a pot of chili that evening. It really was good!
While eating our fattening appetizers, Dad whips out his book on "Belly Fat!"
The Mayo Clinic Health letter is one of Dad's favorite reads!
Love you Mom and Dad! You're the best!
