Bowling fun

We went bowling today with Zack and Auntie Chris. I guess all that bowling on the Wii has payed off. Jenelle played one game where she got 4 spares IN A ROW!!! I was amazed. I really like her bowling style; pick up ball, run to alley and throw.


Check out our scores!

Happy Valentine's Day

Sometimes Jenelle and I make a special dessert for Valentine's day. This year we made chocolate covered strawberries. They were so good and really easy to make. We went to Tony's and picked up some dinner. They were selling choc covered strawberries for $2 a piece. What a rip off! We had a fun evening and everyone enjoyed the dessert.

Valentine's was super special because we stopped off at Walgreen's and Jenelle bought the valentine pillow pet. She name him Rojo. Check back for a photo.

Pillow Pets

A few years ago I saw an infomercial for the pillow pet. I thought to myself, "How dumb are those. Those will never catch on." Well, Pillow pets are the hottest thing right now. Everyone seems to have one or two or three. Jenelle has been begging for one, but I have refused to buy one. For those of you not up on the latest toys "it's a pillow, it's a pet it's a pillow pet." They are basically huge stuffed animals that fold out into a pillow.

When Papa was here in November he bought her one. Now they have a special Valentine pillow pet out. We saw it at Walgreen's. Jenelle desperately wants one. Again I refuse to spend the $20 when she already has a million stuffed animals. Jenelle is saving up her money.

Here is the cute part of the story. We were driving around last week and when we passed the Walgreen's Jenelle said, "I love you Walgreen's." I asked her why she loved Walgreen's. She said, "Its the orphanage for my pillow pet." Oh my. I think I'm going to let her save her money and buy one.

Snow much fun!

We got lots of snow yesterday. About 8 inches or so. Jenelle is an avid sledder these days. We all headed out to the sled hill this afternoon. Our favorite red sled cracked and doesn't work very well anymore. Curt brought the blow up and it was SUPER fast and very fun. Here are some picture highlights.
