Ok, my new favorite article on the internet.... pls read

So for most of my parenting career I've always believed that if you expose a kid to good ol' dirt he or she will develop the necessary immunities that will help keep the kid healthy. I've always believed that if you insist on keeping children away from every unclean thing in this world they will probably get sick alot more... This article comfirms my hypothosis and I would like all viewers of this blog who have kids to please read this outstanding article....

Shaun and Lance are the coolest ice skaters ever.

Last Monday me, Lance, Mom and Dad went ice skating at fish lake. After skating around for a while, me and Lance decided to skate the whole length of the lake. The furthest north we could go was at a spot called Joe's Bush, because there was a crack in the ice and water was flowing from the north. We got out and started at about 12:45, the ice fishers looked at us kinda weird when we started and told them we were going to skate clear to the end. We had a nice northerly wind to push us along, it was nice. At twin creeks there is a fault line that runs the entire width of the lake where the ice has cracked because of expansion, so we had to scout out the best spot to cross the dark abyss. It was a little spooky. A ways past that we found the best ice ever possible. The ice was so smooth we just couldn't resist getting on our knees to feel it's smoothness. It was hands down the best ice you could ever skate on (yes it's like we could ever know that) So after skating around for a few minutes we continued on untill we got to the south end of fishlake. Then we went back to the lakeside parking lot where mom and dad picked us up. Oh, the last 100 yards was a race, and I won (of course). So to make a short story even longer, me and lance are pretty much the coolest iceskaters ever.

The pics are taken from the south end.

Our fun christmas!

Well, Christmas came and is now gone... (as is all our money) but we sure did have a fun one! Vince got a few action figures and a cool race track that santa set up downstairs in our freezer room... Ammon got a loader and a backhoe and a few little tracktors. Len and I got a mini dell and a few odds and ends. We had fun with Tina, Josh and Nathan and are glad they came home for the Holidays.. Julie and Micah came friday night. Tsugumi was also here and she cooked us a Japanese meal Friday night, the sushi was excellent. We had fun playing games and went ice skating for a while... Vince and Ammon both had a blast on the little skates we borrowed from Uncle Kay.

Our new kitchen floor!

On Tuesday we started tearing out our old kitchen carpet and today we spent all day laying down our new kitchen floor. Dad and Ted helped us with the kitchen part, the Len and I finished the hall. We finally got done at 10pm... it took forever just to do the hall because we had to make sure we didn't waste much stuff because home depot didn't have anymore of the laminate we used..... we ended up with 4 pieces left over. We like how it looks though!
