Public Speaking

Each 4H member has to do public speaking at the club level but they have the option to compete if they want. Ember thought it might be fun to compete this year, so she wrote a speach and has been practicing a lot. Last night she had to compete aganist the other 4H members in rouleau, to see who would best repesent the 4H club at the next level of competition. Ember's practicing paid off and she was chosen to go the second round, on March 7. Ember went to the second round and she did a very good job but she placed 4th out of six. I am so proud of her for getting up and talking infront of fifty people. She is already thinking of what she might want to talk about next year.

Hurt

Zane had a rash on his belly and it was bothering him. He said his belly hurt and I tried to put some cream on it but it still did not feel much better. He went and played for a little bit, and then he came back to tell me that his belly didn't hurt anymore, and then he lifted his shirt to show me that the band aids made it feel better. (9 band aids in total)

First Tournament

Zander had his first hockey tournament last weekend. There were a total of six teams and Zander played three games. It was a long day, but it went very well. Zander did very well, and manged playing all the games with out getting to tired. Thier team lost all of thier games, but none of the kids were upset, everyone just had fun playing the game. Zander was so excited when he got a medal at the end of the day.

Four

We went down to Weyburn and had a party for Zane. It was on the same day as Uncle Ken's birthday so they shared the day.

Zane was so happy that he got more hot wheels and tracks for them. He also got a game and some clothes. He had a fun day. We also had a little party on his actual birthday.

Fun in the Snow

Jay and the kids spent a couple of hours at a small hill in Weyburn just down the street from Mom and Dad's. Zander doesn't like the speed so he didn't like to start at the top of the hill, he would just go half way up. The other two kids love the speed and would love to go to a bigger hill. Jay even went down a couple times, he didn't think things thru all the way when he went down on his stomach, there was a large bump at the bottom that took his breath away.

Christmas

We had a good christmas this year. Here are a few pics of our day.

Santa brought us a lot of goodies but he left a mess behind. You can't really tell in the photo but there were foot prints on my carpet.

Jay opening his GPS, the kids thought it was a funny, but usefull gift because Jay always gets lost.

The kids got too much stuff this year, they are spoiled. Everyone got wii games plus other things. Ember got webkinz, board games, clothes, bendaroos, and pixos. Zander got bakugan toys, webkinz, board games, and pixos. Zane got hot wheels, Deigo toys, games, movies. I know they got more but that is all I can remember right now.
