Iowa

We went to Iowa to pick up Kylan (he had been in Colorado for a month) and we got to see a bunch of family.  It's always so fun to see all of Kevin's relatives and I'm just so thankful that all of his extended family and our family get along so well.  I love his cousins, aunts, uncles, and Grandma like they are my own.  It was nice and cool while we visited, I think it might have made it up to 86 degrees in Iowa....it was in the 100's in Oklahoma.

This is the little Freedom Rock that's in the town of Greenfield, it's not the real rock.

Christmas card traditions

We have a Christmas card tradition at our house and I just wanted to share it with you! Every year after Christmas is over and all of the decorations are down I take all of the cards and every night when we have dinner we pull a card out of a basket that I store all the cards in and we pray for that family. It reminds us to pray for all of our friends and family and we get to see your picture or at least read a little note about how your family is!

If you didn't get a card from us in 2009 then here it is!

Since I was so busy with the JBF sale (see previous post) I didn't have time to post last week so here is the week in review.





My sis in law came into town and I hardly got to see her due to working all the time buy my wonderful husband took the kids to see her several times during the week, the kids finished up their 7 week course at our church. Makenzie's Kid U course was soccer and Kylan's was Outdoor Adventure the next 7 weeks they are going to be taking martial arts and they are super excited and can't wait!





The kids started hip hop class but when we got to class the teacher was sick so it was canceled so today is actually their first day.





The library had a zoo docent come and talk about pond life animals.





Kellee (my sis) and her kids came to play one day.





My mom found us a free used desk for Kylan and some dividers that they use in offices for our school room.





I broke my toe and then 3 days later I twisted my ankle again and it's almost totally black on one side! YUCK!!!





Coop was fun and the kids made piggie pizza's in cooking class.





We had a vision screening for our homeschool group and Kylan passed but Kenzie didn't so it looks like glasses are in her future!





Kylan was asked to me Makenzie's escort for the Owasso Band Homecoming court. Makenzie was asked to be the little flower girl princess and her escort backed out so they asked Kylan. We went and got him fitted for his tux and I told him you sure do look handsome and he said, "I know". Wish I had that much self confidence!!!





We celebrated Sierra's(our niece) birthday while she's in town.





Kevin's parents had their 4 kids together so they had them choose items that were from Grandma and Grandpa Wedemeyer's house. We heard some great memories from that session.





This was the last week our church is going to be in the gym next week we will be in the actual sanctuary that was re-modeled.





Oh, I forgot that we also went back to Will Roger's Bithplace and had a picnic and small field trip with some homeschool friends.





This is a typical week in the Wedemeyer house but I usually am not entering tags for the JBF sale so that made it even more crazy then normal and in between all of this we have to do school!

On Thursday we went with our homeschool group to see the movie Horton hears a Who. It was really funny. Then, we came home and I started moving things around in the school room and some how I hurt my back! OUCH!!! I think it's a pulled muscle but I didn't make it to the Dr.'s so I don't know for sure.







This weekend we had the family game day/Birthday party. It was a lot of fun. Friends from Iowa were here and all of the family that lives in the area. We played teh Wii and they had a game of dominoes going and I think Kellee won.







We are trying to decided on a date for the next game night....if you didn't make it to this one please come to the next one!!!! We would LOVE to have you join us. The food was yummy but the cake and especially the pies were the yummiest....Connie send me the recipe please.

T-Rex cafe

Kylan lost his 2 bottom teeth while we were at the Great Wolf Lodge and the tooth fairy even found us on vacation!

We all loved to float the lazy river!

The 2 new dinosaurs are named Princessasaurus and Super dino.

March 10th-12 we went to Kansas City for another cheerleading competition. This was the last one for this season!!! YIPEEEE!!! The Shining Stars squad took first place once again! When they chant TOS the BEST is here...they really mean it. Those girls have been to 5 competitions and have gotten 1st at everyone of them...they are undefeated for the year! GREAT JOB!!! Pictures of the competition will follow in a couple of days...I don't have them right now.

We decided to stay an extra day and go to the Great Wolf Lodge again...we had the BEST time! Kylan was studing dinosaurs last week in homeschool so I looked up dinosaurs on the net hoping to find a neat museum in Kansas City but there wasn't anything about dinosaurs except for the T-REX cafe. We decided to check it out since it's only about 4 min from the Great Wolf Lodge and we LOVED it...it was so much fun. They had a Build a dino store...owned by Build a bear and the kids each got a new dinosaur. Check out our pics!
