Family day of Bowling & Ihop

We have been thinking about taking the boys bowling for awhile and Winter is a great time! We headed over to Players & Spectators on Sunday afternoon for a game of bowling fun. We started out with some drinks and fries and then got a couple lanes for all of us. Ginger and Austin came too, Travis had to work, sorry Trav. We had a blast, the boys (Gavin & Garrett) got mostly gutter balls but it's been a long time since we went bowling. I didn't do all that great, but it's the togetherness that counts. Ginger beat us all pretty good, great job G! What a great smile on my Garrett.
Gavin also enjoying some beverage.

High five for my Gavin bear.

Both boys had a 6pound ball, and did pretty good carrying it themselves.

The old squat and roll trick.

Daddy and Garrett giving it a good roll.

Aunt Ginger's turn.

Austin's great form.

Mommy's Little Man!! Hee hee
Joe took this one!
Garrett did so good holding onto his own ball.

Gavin pretty excited that he got a few pins down and no gutter ball.

Doing the victory dance.


Joe attempting to give me a smile.

Joe trying to help Garrett and almost falling in the process! Funny pic.

Our boys.....so cute......until they make their crazy faces.........


Ginger and Austin posing for me, thanks guys for a great time.

Headed over to IHop afterwards for their all you can eat pancakes. Daddy got a big Swiss Mocha coffee with some great foam on top, yummie!
Silly boys, makes for a great picture though.

Gavin still eyeing the coffee.

Both boys ate great, big appetite after bowling.

And he's out......Garrett totally fell asleep after he ate, just tucker out.

New Xbox Kinect

Joe's been wanting to try out the new Kinect for the Xbox for some time now so we got one. It's pretty cool, a little different from the Wii in the way that you don't have a game controller. With the Kinect you (your body) is the controller, it's pretty high tech and really cool to play. And it's very physical, lots of jumping and moving around, great workout. We only have one game so far "Adventures" you can ride on a river raft boat or steer through an obstacle course. And of course we had to have the Greene's over to try it out. Thanks guys, lots of fun. Hope Travis wasn't too sore.....old man! Hee hee :) Travis and Austin giving it a try.

Really bad picture of Joe and Travis but oh so funny, Travis is really trying to jump.


Go Joe!!

The boys trying it out the first day we got it. Gavin was sweating afterwards.

Family Dance Night

We had so much fun at my nephew's school Family Dance Night. It was Hawaiian theme and all the kids got fun leis to wear to dance in. They had popcorn and drinks, and fun games for all the kids to do. They had a DJ for the night and the boys had a blast running around and dancing. Great time to get some of this winter energy out. Thanks for the invite guys!


Dad and boys already hitting the snacks.

Nice family picture.

Gavin kept doing this all night, robot?? Silly boy.



Mommy getting in on the fun. Great workout too!

Garrett hanging out with Dad at the table. Great picture of my little (big) man.

Can't believe these boys are two years apart, they are almost the same size.

Hula hoop time.......this was fun. I haven't tried to Hula hoop in years, but I did it, and kept it up for a few seconds!! :)

Gavin doing a great job!

Garrett's turn to go flying.

Doing the hokey poky and turning ourselves around.


Daddy and Gavin, buddies!


Austin giving me a pretty good smile!

Uncle Travis coming to say Hi!

Garrett's running to the back of the line, totally flying with both feet off the ground.
