Hey Mom . . .

This is a snipp it of my conversation with Ashton this morning

Ash:  Hey Mom.  Was Brigham Young good?

Mom:  Yes???

Ash:  He was the QB for Utah.

Mom:  Call Dad and talk to him about this.  (chuckle, chuckle)

Ethan:  I thought Brigham Young was a prophet

Mom:  Ethan, shhhhhh!

Ashton:  I'm going to go add Brigham Young on my xbox for the Utes.

Ahhhhh . . . never, ever a dull moment here!!

Snowfall Magic!

Today we decided to drive between Georgetown and Frankfort to see the pretty snowfall.

What a View!

Today Ryan, Brinley and I decided to go for a quick ride around Georgetown and take a few random photos.  We live near some beautiful scenery that I thought would be fun for Ryan to photograph.  Most of these pictures were taken by Ryan.

And the Winner is . . .

Today we received notification that 3 of Ryan's 4 photographs from the Reflections contest were declared winners!!!  The single American Flag photo was the only non-winner.  Now the 3 winning photos go on to divisionals.  Way to go Ryan!!

Here is the picture from November 22nd which shows all his entries.

Happy Anniversary!

Today marks our 13th wedding anniversary.  Woot Woot!

Once I can figure out where I put my Wedding Pictures, I will post!

Happy Anniversary Matt!  You are a dream come true!!

Birthday Fun!

Today we celebrated Ashton's 8th Birthday.  He really wanted a Vikings Cake for the big day which we accomplished.  Lots of thanks to Aunt Sondra for the training!!!  He also wanted a Vikings jersey for his birthday but Uncle Luke and Sondra surprised him with the entire uniform!!!  I think he had a fabulous day!!

Art-y Pants

Tonight our family visited the Georgetown Scott County Museum for the "Reflections Art Show".  Ryan entered 4 photographs into a contest at school and all the entries were on display.  It was a nice event.  Here are the 4 photos Ryan entered . . .

These photos are the un-cropped ones.  He actually took these to Wal-Mart and zoomed and cropped.  I don't have a digital copy of the actual entry photographs.  We had a fun time walking around downtown Georgetown to find just the right photo opp!  He had a good time and did a great job!  The theme for the contest was "Together we Can" - so he had to incorporate that into his photos. 

Ryan actually took the photo at the top of this blog post of the Museum, but it was not one he entered into the contest.

Here is a picture of Ryan at the Art Show
