Roller Disco Lives

Roller disco is alive and well, and, well, Brian has seemed to been crowned the Roller Disco King. I think he had the most fun of anyone while he was skating and 'dancing' to the music. Lily and Trevor had a good time, too, and got to spend time with their cousins Libby and Shelby. It was the first time I've been roller skating since I was pretty young, but I still have my moves. This is something we'll have to do more often, especially in the winter months. I'm not sure if there is a roller rink nearby up here, but I'll sure to be looking into it.

The 'Brian' Streak Continues...

After a Laker loss a couple of weeks ago while leaving Brian at home, we knew it was crucial that he made the game last weekend. Brian and the Lakers didn't disappoint, either, with a 4-2 win. With me having to work that night and Brian being a little rambunctious, we could only stay for about half the game. His presence was enough for the victory, though. Lily and Trevor had fun also trying to keep their little bro from running all over the place. I'm thinking of changing seats so he can't run so much. The Lakers will need Brian's luck for their last home games of the season, as they take on top ranked Miami.

Bowl-O-Rama

Nothing like bowling to shake the winter blues. We brought Brian along for his first bowling experience, and he had a great time. He tried rolling it by himself, but we finally got him a 'helper' to roll the ball off of. He even got a strike, and ended up beating Lily and Trevor. We didn't care about the score much but had a good time. Both kids were eager to help their baby brother. The event was put on by the Lincoln School PTO.

Fun At Winter Fun Day

This year's Winter Fun Day was just as fun as the last, but I had to leave at noon, so jumping between Trevor and Lily's classes was challenging. I spent pretty much the whole day with Lily last year, so I spent a little more time with Trevor this year. Lily was ice skating all morning, so at least she was easy to catch up with when I took a break from Trevor's class. The kids did all types of activities. Besides ice skating, they had a special gym class to play games and also had a jumping castle. The kids liked Bingo a lot, too, as they always seem to win at that.

Laker Luck Runs Out

Our lucky Laker streak ran out on Friday, as we watched the hockey team lose to Michigan State 4-0. We didn't have Brian with us this time, so maybe he's the lucky one. He'll be with us this weekend when they play Western. None of us was feeling well, and Trevor ended up sleeping through half of the game. Both of the kids ended up having an ear infection, but will be in top shape for this weekends games. Papa and Nana were up visiting, too, to take in their first Laker hockey game of the season.

Brian Turns Three, Already

It seems like just yesterday I was on here blogging about bringing home our third child. Apparently, it's been three years as Brian celebrated his birthday last week on the 11th. The picture of him three years ago saw us bringing him home in his Whitecaps jersey, and as you can see, he's still a fan. In fact, he will be making his first appearance at a 'Caps game this summer. He already makes it to most of the Laker games, and has fun watching the hockey. He'll be ready for t-ball next summer.

Happy Camper

Over the weekend Lily participated in the LSSU Lakers winter softball camp. Unlike the hitting clinics before Thanksgiving, she was able to work on her catching and throwing as well. The coaches wanted her to attend the pitching camp also, but she hasn't shown interest in that yet. I still hope she sticks with softball and gives it a shot this spring. Also this weekend, the kids attended a 'lock in' at the college, where they were able to participate in games, sports, and activities hosted by the college kids. They had a great time over the weekend. Always good when they keep busy.
