Derek's famous!

Derek said he was interviewed the other day at school. I thought it was for the news paper until I asked my friend "Ms. El Dorado" Magen Parker what it was about. The El Dorado Promise was revamping its web site and interviewed several children. I got on the computer this morning and went to Magen's blog and see a picture of my handsome son and the home page.

Playing catch up

We did enjoy a wonderful Christmas with our families. It has just taken me awhile to get in the mood to blog about it, I guess. We went to Bismarck in mid December to celebrate with the Michigan Jobes. So good to see them! It was so fun watching Andrew and Brylee, who are only 8 days apart, play with each other.

We stayed in El Dorado for Christmas Day. This is only the second time we have done this. Charlie and Lesa drove down Christmas Eve to be with us, too. Usually we are either in Pocahontas or with Kent's parents. After a good breakfast on Christmas morning and some good play time with the new toys, we packed up and drove to Pocahontas to be with our family there.

Here is our favorite gift and the following pics are what Santa brought the kids. My parents got us a "family gift" this year. We have had SO much fun playing with our Wii. We bowl, play tennis, and golf mostly. Since we are a competitive bunch, this is right up our ally.
Santa got Derek a soccer goal. He loves it!

Santa gave Austin a Nascar race track. Lots of fun!

And Brylee bear was given this fun ride on toy from Santa. She mostly pushes it around instead of riding, but fun none the less.

I do have more to blog about. Basketball season has started and both boys have played their first games. I'll post videos soon!

Shout out!

I know, I know I'm so behind on blogging about our holiday haul, but I can't sleep and so I'm doing a quick post about my AWESOME Razorbacks! We've beat 2 ranked teams in one week! If anyone had had a video camera recording in my living room an hour ago, we would have been on AFV. Derek and I were beside ourselves with excitement. And remarkably we didn't wake the 2 sleeping children. I promise to post soon about Christmas, New Year's yada, yada. Until then......WHOOOOOOOOO PIG SOOOOOOOOIE!
