A Leap Year Post!

Cole is having a very good time with his basketball team even though he is teased often by friends and family that he is now a "Beaver".

He likes to take point as often as possible and has gotten much stronger this year with this shots.  Three pointers are becoming more of a reality for him.

Cole has been watching Bear Grylls on tv lately. (Bear Gryllis has become known around the world as one of the most recognized faces of survival and outdoor adventure.)

Yes, this is Cole on the roof of our shed.  He has also taken to walking the top of our fence and trying to run and scale the fence in a quick jumping motions.  (are we seeing a broken arm in our future?)

Strings Concert

Cole had his first strings concert and the only thing he was nervous about was the color of his shirt. (had to be "jewel" color)  He asked quite a few times "Other kids will have this color on too?"

It was a good concert with lots of kids from different schools playing together.  Cole was quite happy to perform in front of people and we think he has a renewed interest in playing again.  (now to get him to actually practice)

Oh, and he wanted me to note here that he didn't like the clip on tie either.

Jo...Oh, Jo!

We know many of you do not see this side of her but she is truly a hoot!

No, music was not playing at this time. She just came out of her room and said "Look at me Mom" followed by "Take a picture of me".

And then we have this...

I believe Oma has a similar looking picture when she was a kid.

Oh Jo!

Daytona 500

Gma Marie and Gpa Norman went to the 54th Daytona 500 as this was on Gpa's bucket list.  They have spent over a week in Florida and we have enjoyed reading and seeing their adventures on their blog posts.

Here they are actually in their seats at the Daytona 500.

I snapped this photo of our TV showing the whole race track and the lines down from their picture shows where their seats were.

The BS Family sure got excited to watch the race this year only because the Grandparents were in the stands.  Excitement through association.  And I think Gma & Gpa had a good time too.

Pie!

I love it that Jo likes to bake because we get some yummy things around here.

Cherry pie this week!  It's a breakfast food don'tcha know.

And on the 29th day of February ... .

SNOW!
