Basketball & Snow

Thursday before class I took Elijah to get a hair cut. Always perfecting his mullet. Can you see the stripes in the side?

First game in the tournament was against Kodiak. We lost. Elijah played about 2/3 of the game. Tisha, Travis, Jadyn and Justise came to watch the game with Homer, Nick, Emily, Olivia, Lucas, Trudy and me. Elijah had a big cheering section. 

The second game was against Lathrop. We lost by a lot. He played about 1/2 the game (or less). Tisha, the girls, Justise's boyfriend and David came to the game with Homer and me.

  Saturday was the third game of the tournament against North Pole. We won and he played about 1/2 the game. I went to the game alone, but still cheered loud.

Olivia's Molly tank. She has 4 adults, 1 juvenile that was one of her babies and 4 babies. We hope they have more.

Sunday Cody, Trudy, Nevaeh and Asa were here for dinner.

Monday it rained. Then it snowed huge flakes. Then it rained some more. The roads were awful and so dangerous. After school activities were cancelled so I picked up Elijah and the little ones leaving Emily to ride a very late bus home. They decided to cancel school for Tuesday (today), but as luck has it the roads are better today than they were yesterday. The temperature finally dropped. Would you believe we were up to 36* and rain in January. Crazy storm, but we are supposed to go back to -30* in a day or two so it was short lived.

We never get to make snowmen because the snow is a dry powder from the cold. Last night the kids took advantage of the fun. It was gone this morning and Olivia was very disappointed when she went out and the snow wouldn't stick anymore.
