The Basement


We had a great time in the basement playing hockey.  The boys also like to ride their bikes down there and race cars across the basement floor.   They have found a place to play while it is still pretty frozen outside.






They were plum tuckered out.  

We went to a Grizzly game for a night of faster hockey.  We have to say, our #1 team is still the Condors.  It just wasn't the same without the entertainment either.  The dancing granny, the shirt guy, and the little blimp were missed.  It was cool that the Grizzlies had 2 zambonies out at the same time though!  They lost the game by one in overtime-it was an exciting game.   Santa gave us tickets to go see the Condors play the Grizzlies!  We'll be sporting the Condor gear that night!

Amen Sista, The Condors are the team!! I just wish they would win a little bit more:) I was thinking the same thing as ^ Lisa. I saw those roller blades on Blake and noticed that he didn't have any knee pads on or anything. Wow, he must be pretty good. Miss you guys. You know Lisa's b-day is coming around the corner. What are we going to do without you at the luncheon?:(( We'll make a toast in your honor.

Wow! it looks like some much fun! I forgot how great basements can be. When we lived in Sandy that was our living space but rmember Carissa had her playhouse set up down there for the winter! I just remember Leala and her making fishy cracker soup in the little sink. We are slowly turning into a very wild boy family! We can't wait to come visit you guys it may be in a few months.
stay warm!

Hey Becky, I love the hockey in the basement. We need to do that in ours.

I looked up on my blog about who got their hair done in Riverton. You can look her up on my blog and see if you like her hair and then I'll ask her who she goes to. On my blog it's under friends and family "Amber and Jon" and then look up her California Sun post. She's the one with short blonde hair. I think it's actually a similar style to yours. I think it's cute. Just let me know!
